- ericsmith32ExplorerReally wanted to take it out this weekend Mother Nature had other idea's. Won't be moving at least for another month if that. So ordered 10 24-3528 LED's.. almost ordered 2 5050's just to see the difference. Probably could of got cheaper from Ebay but don't trust them..Amazon has always been excellent when issue's occur. Probably either order more next week or Eternabond.. can't use it might as well mod or repair it!

Our sink drains to the black, and bad things happen when the water eventually splashes out of the P-trap, and negative pressure in the coach starts drawing air up the sink drain...
2) ran an extension cord from the inverter located over our sink, thru the cabinet, over the entry door, and secured the back wall of the cab, ending at a power strip located between the front seats of the drivers compartment... No more 12V octopi needed for simultaneous charging the iPhone, Blackberry, iPad or GPS!... - pianotunaNomad IIICame home to a wonderful meal for supper in the slow cooker.
- pianotunaNomad IIIHi Desert Captain,
120 volt shore power, or generator, or inverter/battery bank/alternator. Currently it is -25 c (-13 f) heading for -29 c (-21 f). Floors are warm!

Never having heard of these how about some details? What is the power source, consumption? What do they cost and where can you find details on the product? How about a few pics? :B - Desert_CaptainExplorer III

Installed magic (heated) carpets to keep my toes toasty warm. It should help with freeze ups, too.

- pianotunaNomad IIIGot all the magic (electric heated) carpets in place. They make a huge difference to the floor comfort in cold weather.
- ericsmith32ExplorerCleaned up and organized. Didn't have anything stored under the dinette benches so moved the sleeping bags and tent under both. Moved the chairs from the outside compartment to under the sofa making more room for tools etc. Moved the stereo to the cabinet closer to the inverter plugs. Still need to get some containers for the sewer hoses and water hoses.
Pondered a bit what to do with these worthless speakers. The first owner pulled the sound system.. they don't sound good nor are in good positions. Either need to find 6.5 inch plates or remove the speakers for the plate and get smaller plate to cover the hole. Not in a hurry will find something eventually.
- pianotunaNomad IIIMoved it to King's Acres to have access to power.
- snowdanceExplorerRemoved the cover, checked the roof, tires ect. Took it for a drive. Started first try. Ran nice. Ran the generator. Will recover it in a day or so. We having a few nice days so decided to exercise it before winter is back.
