Broke pins on scissor Jack stabilizer
I broke the pins holding the washer in place on the threaded rod. The rod just screws in and out of the nut at the far end. I have seen pin replaced, but my jacks are welded on so I cannot take them off to fix. How can I replace the pins with the jacks attached? Any ideas?1.1KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Hot Water Heater, SW6-DE
One more thing. Next fall, I should turn off the valves that lead to the hot and cold fittings on the water heater. The one that is off now would be turned on??? This would allow me to pump the anti-freeze direct from jug and bypass the water heater??? Is this how the 3 valve system works? Sorry for all the questions. I hope I an answer a few myself someday.427Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hot Water Heater, SW6-DE
Got out to my trailer this morning. Filled fresh water holding tank. Used on-board water pump to pressurize the system, and then checked the pressure release valve on the water heater. Got plenty of water. Flushed out the entire system and now ready for the road. So now I know the valves are correctly set for no bypass. Thanks to all of you for the help.427Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hot Water Heater, SW6-DE
Thanks, everyone. I'll check the pressure relief valve to see if water is in the hot water heater tank. When I replaced the anode rod, only a little clear water came out, no pink anti-freeze. That is what started me thinking. Someone else winterized it, and this is my first time getting it ready for the road again.427Views0likes0CommentsHot Water Heater, SW6-DE
Greetings. I am new here, and new to travel trailers. I am de-winterizing my rig, and I am not sure if my hot water heater is bypassed or not. I did clear out the anti-freeze, replace the anode rod, and opened all faucets. Something about the hot water does not seem right. The heater is NOT on. My big question is about this picture. It is my understanding that plumbing liquid or gas requires the valves to pointed in the direction of the flow, it at a right angle, no flow. Here's the picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kukhtfsrgcqqrjy/IMG_0991.JPG?dl=0 The valve next to the orange cable appears to be off. Any ideas? Thanks, Gary1.8KViews0likes13Comments
