My husband figured out how to make our washer machine grey water feed into the same hole as the black and gray water with no real issues. My husband insisted on installing a compact RV washer machine in our RV about 3 years ago. The RV places ALL said it could not be done. My husband said otherwise and I liked the idea of not having to go to the laundry places every week or every other week. So he ripped out the captions chair and passenger chair that was in that spot, and he added my much needed deep freezer and Washer/Dryer combo inside our RV. Now the only thing that does not work is the hot water to the washer so all out clothes are washed in cold water but it has been working fine for over 3 years now. For the last 2 1/2 years we just stuck the washer hose outside the window that drained into a bucket when we were in AZ. But now that its is much colder in our new place and the current RV park has much more dirt everywhere in our spot we didn't want to get our spot super muddy or make ice puddles out our front door. This fix my husband did has been working great so far. Now that we are deeper into the winter we noticed that the pipes freeze up so now the grey water from the washer backs up. We plan to insulate the outside pipes very soon and then we are sure it should have no problems. We just use the washer when it is in the 40's outside during the day and it works fine. If we must we will go to the local washer place to do laundry that is ok but it is nice to just get laundry done while getting other things done inside the RV as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again from the universal homesteader.

I wanted to attempt to reuse an old bed sheet that we were just going to throw away. I also had an empty wipe container that I wanted to reuse as well and I had some orange cleaning ingredients brewing, so I went for it. I looked at a lot of homemade cleaning recipes and I adjusted them into my own. I had made some tangelo Everclear with my fathers home grown tangelo skins a while back. I had just zested the skins and soaked them in store bought Everclear. I also just made some orange flavored vinegar with soaking the zest of oranges in vinegar. The recipe I used was: 3 cups water 4 Tablespoons Tangelo Everclear 4 Tablespoons Orange Vinegar 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda 2 Tlbs Dawn or dish soap, but I would try just 1 Tablespoon instead ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05klZoeJt3g
