Portable toilet seal leaking
Hello all. I have a Thetford 565e Curve porta potti. I have replaced the seal between the top bowl and the bottom black tank four times in the last three years. The most recent seal replacement was 2 1/2 months ago and it is now leaking. I have taken it out and cleaned the seal and all of the plastic components on the toilet. Everything looks good; no cracks or damage to anything. After putting a small amount of water in the bowl, it slowly drains out of the bowl over the course of a few minutes. You can hear the water trickling into the tank below. The seal is a genuine Thetford part (lip seal 07101). This is ridiculous. Any ideas? TIA.1.4KViews0likes5CommentsAqua Magic IV cleaning
I have noticed that there is a cavity underneath the slide valve to flush the toilet that collects a considerable amount of fecal matter. There is mold and mildew and smell! Any suggestions on cleaning products and perhaps a better toilet solution that does not have this inaccessible cavity? I removed the toilet to replace the flush valve (after it spewed water everywhere for a few minutes) and found the source of the smell. Thank you in advance.1KViews0likes4CommentsRe: The Official unofficial CPE 2000i Generator Thread

There is at least one other supplier scheduled to come on line by the end of December. I do not know if any of the software related to the time a surge current can exist has been changed or not. The Northern Tool link shows the remote start unit as 4000/3500W, not 3500/3000W like the black and yellow one. What's the story?457Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is the premier standard for gasoline performance. Six of the world's top automakers, BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi recognize that the current EPA minimum detergent requirements do not go far enough to ensure optimal engine performance. Check it out below. I try to stick with their retailers for fuel. Click here.413Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.

Guess I was lying about deferring to Jay Leno!:B Regards, John I read some of the reviews on harbor freight's website. For what it is, the reviews are overwhelmingly positive!

I made it up from some scrap steel and 3" pipe (yes, I have a welder). Both use the small Harbor Freight PU bed crane as the platform. The crane head easily moves from the PU to the piece I made for the Volvo. I am sharing just to give folks an idea as to how to move the 100+ pound generator from the ground to the bed of a truck without a second or third person to help lift. By using the trailer hitch 2" receiver there are no pipes or brackets bolted to the truck bed. It all comes off or installs quickly and easily when needed. Of course, when used in the receiver of a pick-up the tailgate must be removed. An easy one man process on the GMC. HF Crane I had installed in my PU bed to lift out the fifth wheel hitch. I added the winch and strap. This is the piece I made to use in the Volvo 2" receiver with the head of the HF crane that lifts off of the base in the PU. The "thing" on the right is a back step that also fits into the 2" receiver. This is the 2" receiver I installed on the Volvo - it is pretty much like any class IV or V receiver. Straps on the generator, starting lift from the ground. lift with a combination of the winch and the jack on the crane's boom The crane easily rotates 360 degrees, making moving the generator to the designated landing spot easily accomplished. Now, the generator will be rolled to the front, strapped down and the crane assembly removed and stored so I can hook up the camper. No aching back or shoulder. The weight of the crane head and hitch adapter/support are easily manageable by an old guy like me. Where can I get my very own "Powered by Honda" sticker, professor?361Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.

My call was promptly answered, I was transferred to a tech named Juan and I told him my situation. He is going to send me a negative disconnect wire but said that the charge diode replacement does not apply to the model 46538. I got mine the very next day, coast to coast, USPS priority mail! Now that is fast! Had it on in two minutes.361Views0likes0Comments
