With record sub zero weather and my refusal to run winterized I have had some projects here are a few I have been working on this weekend.
Re routed Toilet lines due to broken ball valve and no replacement available. Will put them back when I get the Thetford valve but meanwhile I have a 1/2" ball valve mounted to the wall (velcro) beside the toilet for manual operation.
Removed Accumulator Tank as it was positioned badly in uninsulated bottom water compartment and was prone to freezing. Re ran all Fresh water lines to get them out of bottom compartment and up in higher compartment where it is warmer. Water seems to run fine without accumulator, no line hammer at all. Will get a new pump soon.
Added 120v recepticle to water compartment with a thermo outlet to turn on power to a light bulb or ceramic heater when temp gets to 35 deg. Also have a heat tape on pump and most lines as backup.
Insulated bottom water compartment.
Replaced broken cargo door hinge.
Replaced most light bulbs inside coach with LED.
