Can a 2005 liberty v6 tow a 23 ft camping trailer dry weight of 3100 and max of 4500?
Hello, Jamison here, You are correct in making sure of the weight that you want to haul/tow, BUT, Keep in mind that the rated towing capacity of any vehicle is based on towing A standard utility trailer (which has almost NO wind resistance), In my oppinion it would be A BAD idea to tow A camping trailer with A vehicle that has A V-6 engine,,, If you intend to do that anyway, I would suggest you reduce your travel speed and NOT use overdrive, When you pull off the highway to get gas or rest or camp, I would also suggest you let the engine idle for about 4 or 5 minutes This will let all the parts of the engine equalize their temperature and at the same time the engine oil will draw the extra heat from any excessively hot parts., Good luck, Jamison.

How do you clean a camper van water tank?
You take it off the camper empty out the water in it and take a scruber and just clean it out :)
+++
I'd caution against using a scrubber, or anything abrasive. Rinsing with a solution of bicarbonate of soda (baking powder) is an old trick for cleaning the interior of things like fridges and water-tanks. After rinsing it out, if possible leave it somewhere warm to dry out completely before storing it with the filler loose so it can air without spiders etc moving in.

The Smartest Parrot
Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name of the place where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why the parrot would not say Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano however the bird kept not saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very angry. "You stupid bird!" pointed the man to the parrot. "Why can't you say the word? Say Catano! Or I will kill you" the man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it. Then the man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; "Say Catano or I'll kill you". The bird kept not to say the word of Catano.
One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the man really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the chicken house. There were four old chickens for next dinner "You are as stupid as the chickens. Just stay with them" Said the man angrily. Then he continued to humble; "You know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid parrot". After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and was very surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the chicken house. There were three death chickens on the floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the last old chicken; "Say Catano or I'll kill you".
