All ActivityMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsRe: Stumped trying to winterizeSorry, I didn't mention that I did close the T-valve from the tank so the pump would pull antifreeze. When I open the faucet, I hear gurgling and it spits a little antifreeze, so it must be drawing some, but definitely not like it should. Do I need to test if it will pump water from the tank? We haven't used the pump for a long time, since we usually use campground water.Stumped trying to winterizeI drained the tank and closed the low point valves. I closed the water heater bypass valve and my RV has a tank bypass hose already installed. I put the bypass hose in the jug of antifreeze, closed all of the faucets, and started the pump. For some reason, it's not pumping any antifreeze. What am I doing wrong?Re: First Long Trip -- What are the "must dos" and "must haves"?Thanks everyone, awesome responses!Re: First Long Trip -- What are the "must dos" and "must haves"?Thanks everyone, awesome responses! I have a couple of follow on questions--is it better to start new topic or ask the questions in this thread? (I'm kind of a forum rookie)Re: First Long Trip -- What are the "must dos" and "must haves"?Here's my setup: 29.8' Thor Jazz pulled with a 2001 F250 with the 7.3L diesel.First Long Trip -- What are the "must dos" and "must haves"?Against my better judgment, I'm pulling our 30' FW from LA to Dayton OH. We normally pull it on 2 hour round trips to the beach in/around California. So, how should I prepare for the trip? I welcome any and all insider tips and tricks! One specific question: are there any resources out there that provide a list of RV-friendly fuel stops? Thank you.Stabilizing hints please....I have an 31' fifth wheel bunkhouse model. The bunks are in the very rear and when the kids even turn in their beds, the entire unit shakes. I stabilize the 5th wheel with the rear scissor stabilizers and 4 of the standard aluminum threaded stabilizers. I also use the X-chocks. It's not a huge deal that it moves, but I thought I'd check if there's stabilizing insider secrets that might help me sleep in a little longer. Thanks!Re: Where to RV in Ohio?For those that asked, we will be in the Dayton area.Where to RV in Ohio?My job is moving me from California to Central Ohio. I've always RVd in/near the mountains or the coast, so I'm hoping someone can convince me to keep my 5th wheel after I move there. Do folks enjoy their RVs in those parts or do they sink into deep RV withdrawal syndrome? I would love to hear perspectives. Thanks.Re: Why does my A/C fan on when I run the furnace?Thanks all, very helpful. I visited the RV to take some pics and played around with the thermostats a little. There is no "auto" setting on the Dometic digital thermostat, so I put it on 'furnace' and the furnace kicked on, but the overhead fan did not, which is what I was hoping.
