Alumapalooza is an event like no other.
From the welcoming nature of those who attend the annual event to the fact it’s held in within a stone’s throw of where the iconic travel trailers are built, Alumapalooza seems to parallel a festival concert series more so than your garden variety, multi-day camping excursion.
This year’s event was kicked off on May 28 through June 2.
I am a big advocate for RV safety and a major safety concern is carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon Monoxide Gas is invisible, odorless, and deadly. Carbon Monoxide is created when any fuel is burned; this includes gasoline, propane, natural gas, wood, & coal. It is extremely serious when combustion by-products are not vented outside. Carbon Monoxide is the number one cause of poisoning deaths in the United States each year. Let’s look at what we can do to prevent the danger of carbon monoxide in our RV.
What does a “green” RV really mean?
In an attempt to “go green”, some RV manufacturers have started building RVs to the consensus standards used in the modular and manufactured housing industries.

It’s really quite simple to do. You can start by draining the water heater. Go to the outside compartment where the water heater is located. The drain plug, or petcock is usually located in the bottom left hand corner. Remove the plug and open the pressure relief valve on top of the water heater to assist in draining.
