Re: Winterizing question
I located the pump and ordered the kit to pump the antifreeze directly out of the bottle. My water heater came with the by pass from the factory, so that's one less headache to deal with. Having residual water in the fresh water tank is the only thing that would make sense as to why it was draining clear. For that to happen though, there must be several gallons of water in the tank. Do I need to worry about this freezing? Is it normal for that much water to be in the tank after draining it? The pump won't suck anymore out of the tank either.283Views0likes0CommentsWinterizing question
I read all the directions on how to winterize my new TT, so I felt comfortable doing it myself. So I opened the drain valve on my fresh water tank to confirm that it was empty and only a small amount of water ran out (a cup or so). I closed the valve. So with that done, I went ahead and poured the red RV antifreeze into the fresh water tank. I opened the drain valve again to make sure that the drain line was filled with antifreeze, and it ran out crystal clear. I drained a couple gallons and it smelled like antifreeze, but it was totally clear. No pink whatsoever. I also put some into a container to see if it would look pink, and it was still crystal clear. I'm baffled. Any suggestion or explanations on why it is now clear instead of pink would be greatly appreciated!2.1KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Rear hitch for bike rack

It's a little more than I was wanting to spend, but I'm learning that there's nothing cheap about RV'ing! Is this the one you ended up getting for future reference? http://www.curtmfg.com/part/13703 That's the one!539Views0likes0CommentsRear hitch for bike rack
We're new to RV'ing and just bought our first TT, a Keystone Hideout 272LHS. After reading several posts about how you should never use a bumper hitch for bike racks, I looked into buying a frame mounted hitch. The only one I've found so far that is designed for this purpose is the Curt C13701. The problem is it is only good for frames up to 51" wide and mine measures 68.25". Does anyone know of a hitch that will work on a wider frame like mine? I'm hoping to get a bolt on so I don't have to pay for welding. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!9.3KViews0likes26Comments
