Re: getting ready for a trip
Rod, I did the search for you. Here's the thread where I calculated the parts per million (ppm) that is recommended. Then everyone through in their rules of thumb that have always worked. I'm sure you'll find something to use here: http://www.rvusa.com/forum/mbbs22/f...6&highlight=clorox ppm&highlightmode=1#M30817

Rod, I kinda know how you feel gettin ready for a trip. We are taking a short trip to Disneyland in a couple weeks (about 800 mile r/t), and I have a list of 'to do's ' in my mind. Most of them are relatively simple but time consuming just the same. Don't need to change the oil, but give the coach a good going through. But it's something I look forward to and enjoy. Have a safe fun trip..
