Re: Black tank pull valves are leaking on my fuzion
Are you sure you need to replace them? Ours wouldn't close completely and we thought the same, but a serviceman at a local RV shop said they are probably gunked up. He recommended Thetford RV drain valve lubricant. We followed the directions and they now open and close completely!1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Truck / 5th Wheel Combo - Do the numbers add up?
Without talking about all the numbers, ratios, GVW, etc. We towed our heavy FW (in sig) which is close to 14k fully loaded first with an F250, SRW, short bed. Big mistake. We added air bags to the pickup and they kept failing. We traded it in for an F350, long bed, dually and what a difference in towing. No sway, no wobble, just a solid ride! I would highly recommend a long bed for any heavy FW towing.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Replace Girard tankless how water heater

And there is your quart. the Tankless has hot water coming out the outlet within half a cup. Go home. Turn on the shower. How long before you get hot water out of your tank type water heater? The only disadvantage to Tankless is you have a minimum flow rate before it heats. There is definitely a delay with tankless. A tank heater has 130ยบ water ready to go. A tankless does not. The cooler water in the pipes is a factor for both. Tankless does not produce hot water instantaneously. It takes a few moments for tankless to produce hot water. You will notice the lag or delay with tankless in a house or RV. That said tankless is a very bad idea for an RV. My 10 gallon tank water heater gives me unlimited hot water. I never run out. Having unlimited hot water via tankless is a fallacy. You don't have unlimited supply nor do you have unlimited waste water storage. Agree. We would never have a tankless, nor a 12v fridge as both seem to the norm with the newer RVs. As for the tankless, friends of ours reported filling a dish tub full of water before it even got hot, hence he installed a mod noted in my other post. We have a tankless in our house and even with the water at full blast, there is a delay up to a minute for the faucets furthest away from the tankless. In that delay, an easy two gallons can be collected.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Replace Girard tankless how water heater
Friends of ours just bought a new Acadia and have the tankless water heater. It wasted so much water, they were frustrated. He researched and instead of removing, he added this to their kitchen sink counter and she loves it. It turns white when the water is hot and ready and no more wasting water. Here is the link to the product.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Extensive Traveling with a 5th Wheel
Friends of ours bought a lightweight Arcadia Fifth Wheel. It came with a 12v fridge and one solar panel. They added a solar suitcase for additional solar. It also came with a tankless water heater. After one trip and wasting two gallons of water before the water heated up, he added this add on and they love it.995Views0likes0Comments
