Re: Trans coolers

I like your theory, but in 30+ years of driving and exclusively wrenching on all my own stuff and some for others, I have never come across that issue in any vehicle new or old save for maybe one that was severely neglected. And if it was even remotely an issue, I don’t believe most auto trans mfgs would design them where they ideally Never reach anywhere near that high of oil temperature. You are way behind the times. Fords new transmissions have used increased temperatures to make them more fuel efficient. Normal operating Temps are 200 to 259.

On some brands of newer trailers using foam sandwich floors that are only protected with darco. Rocks get thrown up and pierce this lightweight material. Driving in rain causes water to be thrown in the holes leading to break down of the wafer thin wood bonded to the foam. Mold moves in causing further damage.833Views0likes0CommentsRe: Traveling with a Dish Tailgater

Dish keeps wanting me to 'upgrade' to a Wally that does not work with one. Don't know why you believe that since the Wally is made specifically for mobile dishes. It is smaller, lighter, and faster than the 211k. It is the Hopper that doesn't work with mobile dishes.551Views0likes0CommentsRe: 13.5 to 15?
I pulled my vents off and the ducts ran well past them so most air was going to the roof. I cut a piece of pool noodle stuffed it at back of vent, taped over it and my AC has been great ever since. Best $5 investment ever. The difference in air flow is amazing. Before you could barely feel any airflow with you hand at the vent. Now you have to turn the vent to direct the airflow away from the bed388Views0likes0CommentsRe: 13.5 to 15?
You might not need a new AC. From Kestone forum: PSo I've been asking questions lately about adding a 2nd a/c to our new 2016 31sqb. The single 15,000 btu has just not been cutting the heat of our Ky summer. Before taking the plunge to add another unit, last night we pulled off all vent covers and the main A/C panel and began to clean up and better tape off duct work openings. To back up a bit, the air flow has never (3 weekend trips so far), felt very optimal. The master bdrm and bunk room just felt weak. So anyway, when we start really examining the bunk room vent we were stunned to realize that the duct for that vent continued more than 4 feet past the vent to the back of the TT with no more vents. Just flowed back there to nothing? Then, we checked our master bdrm and same story.....about 3 feet of dead space it went to past the vent with no where really to go. After a trip for supplies, my husband blocked off the back sides only of each vent with some thick styrofoam type product and neatly foil taped it all off. Now, those two vents essentially have a dead end at the vent rather than several feet beyond them. As soon as we got it all out back together and turned it on we were amazed! Saw dust was coming out in both rooms and going everywhere. Apparently the air flow was so weak before, it never even stirred up that dust that was there from construction until we did this! All this being said, the true test will be our next hot weekend trip. We may still end up needing another unit but this is bound to help!!388Views0likes0Comments
