Re: Air Conditioner / Thermostat after sitting for 2 years
Running those two AC units on 30 amp service is a sure fired way ti shorten the life of one or both units compressors.n you don’t have enough amperage.. keep running this way and you will be spending $$$$ for a new unit402Views0likes0CommentsRe: Leaky Dometic toilet water intake valve
The Dometic 310 is far far better than any Thetaford toilet .. ever.. Since yo7 have replaced the flush valve I would look at the pedal assy to see if it is binding up when the toilet foot pedal is pressed down to flush the toilet.. If either the foot pedal is sticking on the side OR the inside bowl seal or flush port is sticking then it will not let the pedal return t9 proper position and will keep the plunger on the flush valve partially depressed..hence the flow of water1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Rip off prices from RV Dealers
Blowing out the water system with air should have removed the water in the PEX line to the toilet if you held the toilet pedal down for a while while blowing air thru the water lines... Assuming you also opened the low point drains.. The weak area is usually the water pump because blowing out with air does not remove the residual water left in the pump head valve area... RV dealer ships are a rip off with many parts and CW stores are world famous for jacked up parts prices... Local auto parts stores such as Oreillys, Autozone, NAPA are also just as bad if not worse.. I buy all my auto parts and RV parts on line.. I will not pay $60 for a $20 part that I can usually get in one day Some percentage of markup on parts is fair but what is currently going on is noting more than pure greed. $150 an hour labor rates... give me a break342Views0likes0CommentsRe: The RV Demand Continues
Camping World and Two Bish RV dealerships in Boise Idaho are packed to the gills with RVs... There isnt a shortage of available RVs and those that are being built on a scale of 1 to 5 rank about Minus 5 for their build quality... I would not purchase ANY RV made from 2020 and newer right now743Views0likes0CommentsRe: Clear2o RV Water Filter
Image of Camco Blue filter versus a two stage filter I use ... The blue filter is no comparison... Want to have less water volume... Use the Camco.. You cant see what the filter is or isnt doing versus a two stage filter with a sediment filter that is twice the size of the entire camco unit...667Views0likes0CommentsRe: Clear2o RV Water Filter
Neither of these so called RV water filters is dong much other than eventually restricting the volume of water to your RV... Spend a few bucks a buy a better dual stage water filter that will perform 100 percent better than the camco blue https://www.amazon.com/Beech-Lane-External-Leak-Free-Construction/dp/B07GBZ83HH/ref=asc_df_B07GBZ83HH/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312128189269&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7165372594875176687&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029579&hvtargid=pla-589335525091&psc=1666Views0likes0CommentsRe: Centermatics or Balance Beads ???
Since standard RV wheels are LUG CENTERED and not hub centered I would have to question these... Ive been towing trailers and fifth wheels for over 45 years and have never balanced a tire on the RV If you have the bucks then go for it... Ceramic beads would be much better than these .. and I have been using those on my motorcycle tires for decades...741Views0likes0Comments
