Re: Water heater operation question
Arch Stanton wrote: Still not heating up? Again, make sure the tank is full of water and the propane supply valve is on, then go out and open the access door and have someone else turn the heater on. You should hear the ignitor fire a couple of times, providing a spark, and then the flame ignite. The flame should be clean, and strong, no soot and not much, if any, yellow to it. If it doesn't light, start following the troubleshooting procedure in the paperwork. As I said, it doesn't take long to have hot water with these things, about 10 min to warm and 15-20 to full on hot. It works good, appearently my girlfriend and I have a very short attention span, After turning it on a few hours later I caught a red light out of the corner of my eye come on up in the cabinet while watching tv... I thought what the heck is that. Well after a second I remember what it was for and sure enough...hot water! Lol Thanks!!476Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water heater operation question
Old-Biscuit : I'm home today and will run out to the storage unit to look at the heater type, or atleast grab the owners folder that came with the trailer, I have a few other issues. I have the Dometic thermostat and if it loses power or you change the temperature to quickly it will run the AC AND HEATER AT THE SAME TIME, unless you do the "reset" procedure...PIA!476Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water heater operation question

Thanks I will check that when I get home.476Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hauling Two Polaris RZR XP 900's

Maybe with a long wheelbase F-450 it would not be a propblem, but the regular pickups might not be able to handle the weight as well as the trailer hitch, and still have some weight over the front axle. Have you seen the F-550's that U-Haul uses to transfer trailers from one location to another? They have ramps going over a toolbox body, and can store 2-3 smaller pull type trailers on those ramps, winching them into place above the cab and back end of the truck. I did see one cabover truck that carried a VW bus camper van, and towed a Airstream trailer behind it. Full timers who wanted to tow a Airstream, but also have a smaller toad and be able to camp in it as well. I think a E-350 based camper van would have been able to tow the Airstream, and avoid the messing with the VW camper altogether. Had you given any thought to a motorhome towing a longer trailer? Perhaps able to stack the Polaris on on top of the other, or somehow sandwich them into a trailer? Or perhaps a fifth wheel towing a small cargo trailer with the second Polaris on it. It would require a commercial license but that is easy enough to get. Fred. I appreciate the reply Fred. The measurement I gave was for both machines. They are 64" Wide by 108.4" Long and 73" High individually. Meaning I needed 18'8" for cargo room. Sorry for not being more specific. I also have my factory box removed and a flatbed installed. I am a OTR truck driver and have every endorsement availible, but in Oregon we are not allowed to tow double rv type trailers. I didn't go the RV/Enclosed trailer route because we use our pick up truck to travel when at the campground. My truck is 08 Dodge Ram 3500 Megacab 4x4 Cummins.369Views0likes0CommentsHauling Two Polaris RZR XP 900's
Since I searched long and hard for a toy hauler that had space long and wide enough to haul two Polaris Ranger RZR XP900's (64" wide x 18ft 1") with very little success.I thought I would share the models I came across that have enough cargo space or atleast bigger then 16ft. Eclipse RV mfg. Bumper pull 32IBG.(19'4" cargo) Eclipse RV mfg. 5th wheel, 34CRG,(20' cargo) 38CRG (24ft cargo) Heartland Cyclone and Road Warrior 17.5ft garage Keystone Fuzion and Voltage 18ft garage Some of the older trailers that are discontinued have "open" cargo space like Weekend Warrior, Ragen and others but they are older and harder to research. I chose the bumper pull model Eclipse Attitude Wide Lite 32IBG so I can still haul yet another Polaris RZR or similar in the bed of my truck if need be.6.3KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Water heater operation question
Strabo wrote: Make sure propane is on also unless your using electric to make hot water, in that case you dont use the propane switch on the wall. How do you have it setup, propane or electric? To better explain, I just switched from a Jayco to this Eclipse and everything is completely different. On the Jayco both propane and electric switches for the water heater we nect to each other and you could choose. This Eclipse has one switch and I'm assuming it switches itself to whatever is available? If no electric is detected then it uses propane? Does this sound right or is the propane switch somewhere else?476Views0likes0Comments
