What are some places/ areas that you recommend that no one should go?

I’d like to visit every state. Are there any areas in the US that you recommend to stay away from? Why? What happened that made you leave?

Conserving Water Hacks?

What water conservation hacks do you use? How much water do you use per person per day? (We use about 4 gal/person/day). I'm out on an extended work/ boondocking trip in the desert. The closest water source is about a 2 hour drive one way so I'm trying to conserve as much as possible. We should have enough water to finish the job if we conserve a bi. But the next job is fairly remote so I'm planning ahead.

I'm doing all the obvious things like peeing and pooping in the desert. Brushing teeth outside too.

Ok guys, I have a 40ft toy hauler and 1 trip per year we boondock for a tractor show. The spot I always park in is on a pretty large hill. With my travel trailer I would jack the front as high as it would go, put my stabilizers down in the front lift the jack back up and then add another block. By the time I was done the stabilizers were pretty much straight down and the tongue of the trailer would be about chest high. (Yes I know you’re not supposed to do that and I was taking a risk of bending my stabilizers.)

What’s the best way to accomplish this with my fifth wheel? Giant cribbing with jack stands? I am a metal fabricator by trade so I’m sure I could build some stands that attach to the frame but just looking for opinions first. Thanks!
