Re: Outside camping lights
I agree. Bright lights need to go out at 10pm quiet time. Sound and light are nearly the same, just different wave lengths. ;-)

Re: Lot of newer trailers have fewer windows. Why?
Interesting responses. I think it has to do more with energy efficiency than anything. My all seasons Nash has far fewer windows than any unit I've owned previously.

Re: Inverter Charger
time2roll wrote: Good time to switch to separate components. Then you only diagnose, repair, replace or bypass the piece that failed. I use a stand alone GoPower 2000 watt sine wave inverter. Sounds like good advice, thank you. Now let me re-ask the question, What is the latest and greatest charger/converter and the latest and greatest inverter?

Inverter Charger
My 12 year old Xantrex Prosine 2.0 has finally bit the dust. I used it in 2 RV's and it has served me well. I learned about the Prosine 2.0 on this forum years ago. It was a 2k watt pure sine inverter/charger. I have 4 135ah 6v batteries. What is the similar latest and greatest product today? Thanks for your help.

Dometic RV Toilet
I'm thinking about replacing my plastic Thetford toilet with a Dometic 320 with hand sprayer. I like the idea of a full size residential seat and china bowl. Does anyone have this model? If so, I'd like to hear your pros and cons. Thanks.

Re: Has anybody,,,(Toilet)
Old-Biscuit wrote: Well...... Here is the deal. The sprayers are not designed to shut off under full line pressure.. Check out your kitchen sink sprayer.....if faucet is not ON then sprayer doesn't have any pressure/flow because they are installed downstream (after) faucet valve. Same with those RV toilet sprayers. They are connected downstream of toilet water valve. There is a 'stub' on the water valve/vacuum breaker assembly. Hole is drilled thru end of stub and then the flex hose of sprayer goes on that stub with a hose clamp. Now when you open toilet water valve sprayer is pressurized for use. Close toilet water valve and sprayer is not pressurized so it doesn't leak and flood your RV. Look at vacuum breaker..if it has a stub on bottom then you can buy a kitchen sink sprayer with hose, hose clamp, spray holder and install your own sprayer. Sprayer installed in main water line is asking for water leakage problems Agreed! I did as the OP suggested and the sprayer leaked like crazy. I ended up doing the same thing as suggested above.

Re: Nash 17k
I have a new Nash 23d and it is the best built rig I've had yet. Very solid and well built. You won't be disappointed with the 17k.
