I have a friend that uses his camper only a couple of times a year and he swears that putting regular roofing tar paper (felt paper) between the tires and the ground keeps ants out. Around here we have lots of ants and I seen lots of boats with ants in them.

At fish camps they put the legs of the cricket cage in buckets of water to stop the ants from getting to the crickets.
Heard about the same thing with the power cable and water connection to the camper to stop them from comming aboard.

Can't remember when you changed the water seperator??

I also do the same thing with the oil filter on the autos but put the mileage.

Who needs to buy one of those fuel catchers with suction cups,
not me, I made my own.
A plastic milk jug (pint size or quart), cut a keyhole for the overflow
and vwala:

See those two rod-holders mounted on front of the splashwell?...those are the handiest bastards on the boat...not shown, but they hold at the ready spinning rods ready to throw and a bait-dip net (2nd photo) for retrievin' live-bait from the bait-tank...easily over-looked, but sorely missed...

Oh man, I am imagining that old geezer stroking out if all them rods go off at once

When I jump in the truck to go striper-fishin', whether my boat or somebody else's, I take 8 rod/reels...generally 4 flat-lines and 4 down-lines...haulin' 8 of 'em was a PAIN til this rack came along...grab like a suit-case and GO!!

Had to remake holder...original clips broke soon after purchase...Starboard to da rescue once again
