I opened it on my iPad. But a waste of time. 15 small ideas for organizing the rig. Command hooks to mount your iPad or putting gorilla tape on your RV power cord to keep ants out. Nothing great about the hacks IMHO

You are right. I didn't mean waste of time to everyone -- just me

I love hyperbole!

Seriously, Thanks for sharing the link - these are helpful.

I wonder if that would work to keep the field mice out too? Our covered RV pad is right near our back pasture, and those critters are always trying to get in in!

Never had a problem with ants (been lucky i guess), but the idea of using gorilla tape to stop them in their tracks is something i'll keep in mind. A couple of the other ideas might be useful, if we we full timed. For now, none are helpful at this time...

My Windows 7 laptop loaded the link just fine....I think it had something at the top of the screen about Apple news, but below that was the article. Maybe you didn't scroll down to see it ?
