Manometer could simply be a "U" of tubing, half inside the coach and half out, right? Then mark initial level at zero and look for the water to rise about half an inch, less then one inch?
CD, any idea how hard I've looked for that information?!?!? You continue to amaze me.
Doggone!!! I've finally found the ONLY reason I didn't run 50A service out to the coach. I could have a pile of used HVAC blowers tomorrow. To get one that runs on 120VAC means a furnace has to be the donor. The A/C techs also tend to keep them to ventilate attics while they work.
