illuminated hot water tank switch (update)
New to Me, 2006 HR Admiral, the AC switch for the hot water tank does not illuminate when turned on. It is working as we get hot water and I can see the amp draw jump on the control panel when turned on. I bought a new one and the same thing no light. There are three wires on the back of the switch, heavy black, heavy green and light weight white that is jumpered to two other lighted switches. This is not affecting the tank just a little OCD that I like things to work as they should. update After all your input I did some more checking. and found the black wire jumpered to the 12V gas switch. the two switches where identical so I swapped them around and now have a light when turned on Ac and no light when turned on gas, but still fires. While the new switch has the same ratings as for voltage and amps it did come from the hardware store, so off to the RV dealer Monday and see if their switch will work.2.8KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Satillite for dumbies
Update - I borrowed a direct TV receiver from a friend who has satellite tv, I hooked it up one at a time to the two coax cables coming in from what appears to be the dish and did get it to lock on and give me all the channels my friend subscribed to. I went from the receiver to TV with a set of AV cables that where already coming from the front TV. It appears when they installed the dish they skipped the factory prewired panel in the cabinet with the DVD and switch box. Not sure what the other coax is? Both TV's work off the antenna through the switch box also DVD player and cable TV works when hooked up at parks. All through the switch box. I think my next test will be to see if I can hook it to the factory set up and get it going through the switch box so both TV'S will get satellite. But at least I know the dish works and I can order my own service.199Views0likes0CommentsSatillite for dumbies
I have a new to me 2006 Holiday Rambler Adimaral with a Tracvission R5 dish on the roof. What is the proper way to hook this up? There is a prewired panel in the cabinet with the following ports and the on/off swith for the diash. You can hear the dish moving when turned on. EXT Input - has what appears to be factory coax running to front TV Roof Input - empty To Vidio Switch - Empty Also there are two coax cables coming from roof area in the cabinet that are not label. I have a picture of the connections just cannot figure out how to post it. Thanks,1.8KViews0likes5CommentsEstes Park
We will be is Estes for a week in August and want to find a park that is somewhat of a cross between RMNP and private campgound where they stack you like cord wood. We love RMNP but want a few more conveinaces of a private park. We have been to Spruce Lake and Elk Meadows and they are to crowed for us. We would like a park with W/E but a little room between sites so you can sit out by a fire and not be on top of your neighbors slide out. Any ideas?? I am willing to stay outside out Estes by 30 minutes or so and drive the toad in for sightseeing. Thanks in Advance1.8KViews0likes6Comments
