Re: Can't find my house water pump 2005 Fleetwood Expedition
I just gave up and used 6 gallons of antifreeze. If I can remember this next summer I am going to make another attempt at this project. I just need to locate the line somewhere before the pump that will allow me to access a valve I install if that is possible.691Views0likes0CommentsRe: Can't find my house water pump 2005 Fleetwood Expedition

I hope the water pump doesn't go out. My guess is the refrigerator has to be removed to access the pump.695Views0likes0CommentsCan't find my house water pump 2005 Fleetwood Expedition
I am wanting to install a winterizing suction line with some valves. I have a bin that has most of the plumbing in it including a filter canister. I can hear the pump but I can't find it. It seems it might be behind the refrigerator. I would like to T into the line before the pump with a valve in the supply line and one on the Teed in portion for a suction line. The current winterizing instructions call for at least 6 gallons of RV antifreeze to do the winterizing procedure. You have to use at least that much poured into the fresh water tank for the pump to pick it up. It is a pain in the butt. Has anyone had to access the water pump on an 05 Fleetwood Expedition 34H?2.4KViews0likes8CommentsRe: TV connection from front TV to bedroom class A

I can take the wireless Joey and TV out of the combo room and set it up outside IF I want to watch TV outside. I have this in the house I guess I could take it with me in the MH. I did get the parts that I posted and it is working. When I talked to Dish the lady said the wireless Joey would not work with my Walley receiver in the MH??835Views0likes0CommentsRe: TV connection from front TV to bedroom class A

(the first (And the first part of the second) are basicaly TV transmitters. the nd part is a special receiver) you can google for e'm.. The prices (Last I checked) were nearing "reasonable" Very reasonable (16 bucks) But beware that one was HDMI to Coax ANALOG (NTSC) You really need HDMI to ATSC or QAM Those started around 300 Are you saying the parts I posted will not work?411Views0likes0CommentsTV connection from front TV to bedroom class A
I have a Dish Satellite Antena King Tailgator mounted on the roof of our class A. The receiver is in the front of the RV by the large TV. We have a TV in the bedroom and I want to get the signal back to the bedroom. I don't mind that both TV's get the same channel. This is a 2005 Fleetwood Expedition. I changed out both TV's to flat panel type smart TV's a couple years ago. I have a Coaxial cable that runs to the back bedroom from the area of the Dish receiver. The receiver has HDMI type connections. What is the cheapest way to transmit the dish signal to the bedroom? I really don't want to try and run a new cable the length of the MH. I am not up on the newest tech. Can I somehow use the coaxial cable? Is there a way to transmit the signal wireless to the bedroom? Thanks for any suggestions to accomplish this. I keep hearing from the wife you spent all this money for satellite TV and I can't watch anything from the back TV.5.4KViews0likes24CommentsRe: Setting up your house to run off your RV generator?

He won't kill linemen trying to restore the power (but there are enough people back feeding their homes through a dryer plug or something, they assume hot all the time). But OP has a 7kw genset, unknown if 120 or 240. Certainly not large enough to power the whole house at once and maybe not able to power 240V circuits. SO plenty to consider or change on the house end. On the RV end, where is the "power" you plug your cord into going to come from? The little household outlet on the outside? The RV needs what I said earlier to work to it's fullest potential. Bad advice is one thing. Might get wet, stranded, hit in the head if you unknowingly follow bad advice about most things, save for electrical. Following bad electrical advice will just zap or kill ya right there on the spot. OP also is assumed to be an electrician because he is a lineman. If he was a knowledgeable residential electrician, he wouldn't have these questions. You have no clue what I know. Anytime you want to compare credentials let me know.849Views0likes0CommentsRe: Setting up your house to run off your RV generator?
Sorry I haven't been back to this post. The transfer switch I have is a manual type with slide levers. You have to turn off the breaker from the power company before closing the generator circuit. It is manual and won't let both switches be closed at the same time. I have only owned this house for about 6 months. The guy I bought the house was an electrician he set it all up and it was inspected when he upgraded the panel to 400 amps I have a large shop that has a 200 amp panel and the house has a 200 amp panel. There is a covered receptacle for the incoming generator feed. The guy I bought it from had an RV and I think he had it setup to power the house through this system. I need to do some checking on my diesel onan generator to see if it has 120/240 or just 120 volts. I was under the impression sense it has a 50 Amp cord it would have 120/240 but I really don't know that much about RV services but I do know how to read a volt meter so I will check it out. My MH has a 90 gallon tank and I have a 55 gallon drum of diesel for my tractor so I could run for a long time. You don't kneed to run your frig or freezer more than a few times a day to keep them cold as long as you are not opening them a lot.412Views0likes0Comments
