Re: Antenna Upgrade
First off, Omni directional anntenaes work equally poorly in all directions. In our previous trailer I replaced the Jensen Omni directional with a King Jack that rotated. Our reception in the driveway improved from a couple stations to about 12. Common online wisdom is the wingard is a better unit, but you have to have clearance on the roof for it to fold down flat. The King Jack has roughly the same profile as the omni directional. The reason manufacturers are going to omni directional is they don't have to have a spot for the rotation handle inside the trailer. I had to cut out a blank panel in the cabinets to access the handle.705Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pick up truck remembrance !
In 1980 I bought a 1964 F100. 292 V8, I had to cut a hole in the metal dash to install a stereo (radio wasn't a factory option). I converted the 3 on the tree to a Hurst floor shifter. Had the gas tank in the cab, manual choke, no power steering or power brakes. Floor bulb windshield washer.525Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ductless AC instead of roof mounted AC
The torque values should be in the installation manual. Those flare fittings are the weak point at this time. There is a whole industry trying to produce an easy to use, reliable tool that will consistently produce a non leaking flare. If it was leaking, and you just tightened it down, it's probably going to leak again at some point.....1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: carbon Monoxide alarm going off
You could be smelling other combustion byproducts, while you aren't smelling the CO, if there's combustion gases you can smell, and the CO alarm is going off, there could be CO in the mix. As others have stated there are other things that can set off a CO alarm, but if it's only going off when you run the water heater on propane, apparently there's some kind of issue that needs to be resolved. I work for an HVAC company, years ago we had a customer call in stating her new furnace was setting off her CO alarm. Funny thing was it was 75 degrees outside, I asked her if she 1. Had the furnace on, and 2 were her windows open. She answered that the furnace wasn't on, all the windows were open because they were painting the interior of the house.. End of problem.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: 6 people in an F350
