Re: Adding Heat Strips
way2roll wrote: I asked about adding heat strips to a former MH and was told that if your current unit isn't wired for it - with a harness, breaker, and thermostat- it wasn't an easy job or worth the time, trouble and money. Plug in ceramic heater will work just as well and be much cheaper and easier. That was sort of what I was thinking at the time and never bothered to research it much further so I ditched the idea. They sell the thermostat kit and control box according to Dometic. Still have to check wire size321Views0likes0CommentsRe: Outside Speakers

Waiting for an excuse to replace the head unit. Note: I am very discreet with outside usage. Mine have a bezel too.701Views0likes0CommentsRe: Waste Tote Recommendations

Then I realized that most campgrounds where we dry camp didn't have a dump station, so it was useless. It sat under the workbench out in the shop for years, until I sold it for $5 in a garage sale. My point is, before spending the money on such a thing, be sure it is usable where you usually camp. It isn't much good when the nearest dump station is miles away! Conserving fresh water and using the provided (if they are) vault toilets helps avoid filling the waste tanks. We will use it. Camper is basically our weekend getaway at the lake. Most will be gray water from giving the kid a bath and doing dishes.503Views0likes0CommentsRe: Waste Tote Recommendations

I selected a 25 gal Tote-N-Stor for my 30 gal grey tank (NEVER tote black water). It's stores easily under the bed and is light enough for easy maneuvering around the trailer and the dump site. I don't wait for the grey tank to be 100% full before dumping. Long as it slid under the trailer when not in use would be fine. The camper goes down in March and comes home in November so transportation I could just put it in the bed of the truck.504Views0likes0CommentsRe: Waste Tote Recommendations

I will be using it for black water also. There are bath houses so black water will be minimal.503Views0likes0CommentsWaste Tote Recommendations
What brand waste tote is everyone running? My tanks are 34 and 32 gallons. Will mostly run off fresh water tank which is 36 gallons. My intention is to dump both tanks when I fill the fresh water, so a 36 gallon tote or bigger is ideal. Also, a level gauge would be awesome. Looking at the Camco Rhino?6.2KViews0likes24Comments
