And if you do go to a Crappy World with your coach, close all the windows, lock the doors & compartments, and have someone sitting in a chair between the coach and the store with a baseball bat. Nothing like good preventative security.

Yup, in spades! I think they hire mechanics that were rejected from being Wall Mart greeters.

We installed an Everpure head under our house sink and transfer the filter as we head out in the RV or return home.  This ensures that we keep the (expensive) filter fresh.  When we replace it in six months, we want to be sure that we got the most out of it.
