Recipes on the gO!
Bacon Wrapped Chicken Skewers
- 15 bamboo skewers (6 inch)
- 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 4 large green onions
- 1 package (2.1 oz) refrigerated fully cooked bacon (15 pieces)
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- Soak skewers in water at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Meanwhile, cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise to make 10 (about 1-inch) pieces. Cut onions into 2-inch pieces (30 pieces total). Cut bacon slices in half crosswise.
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Push 1 skewer through end of 1 bacon piece, then through middle of 1 chicken piece and back through other end of bacon piece; add 2 onion pieces, then repeat with another bacon piece and chicken piece. Place on large plate or tray. Repeat to make remaining kabobs.

RV Tech Tips:
FRESH WATER
Fresh water tanks must be drained to prevent drinking water from becoming stale. Stored water can become stale and cause odor problems. This can occur even with short periods of storage, i.e., weekend to weekend.
TOILETS & DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
Toilets should hold water in order to prevent odors from entering living areas. Special recreational vehicle toilet paper and chemicals must be used to prevent clogged slide valves, false readings from tank sensors and odor problems. Improperly maintained black and grey tanks can build up a coating that must be cleaned for control of order and monitor panel readings. Black water (sewage) dump valve must be closed while using the waste system, even when hooked up to a campground dump site. Solids must be broken up with chemicals and water in the black tank to allow sewage to flow out through the sewer hose when the dump valve is opened.
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE REFRIGERATORS
Refrigerator doors must be propped open when storing in order to prevent mildew and odor buildup. Some refrigerators have a built in device for this purpose. All refrigerators, both gas and electric, need to be level to operate at the maximum efficiency.
If operated in an unleveled capacity for prolonged periods of time, the refrigerator may stop cooling and may ruin your cooling unit. This is a very expensive repair and is not just a matter of adding coolant to your unit. Because there is no coolant in the unit, an ammonia mixture is used to circulate through the tubing. If you notice an ammonia odor in or around your refrigerator, it may require repairs. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR.
STORAGE COMPARTMENTS
Storage compartments may not be waterproof & dust proof. Please keep this in mind while packing your vehicle and storing your belongings. Do not ruin your golf club bags, bedding, clothing, etc. by improper storage.
LP TANKS
Liquid petroleum tanks are full at 80% capacity and are never actually 100% full. This 80% will vary with outside temperatures. LP fuel tanks are not to be filled to more than 80% capacity in order to allow for expansion. Do not overfill your tanks.
