Re: I have a disgusting problem… HELP!!!
I would dump one at a time spread out over a couple months into the septic. Get a fitting that fits the larger opening and connect pipe or hose with a valve to control the flow, and reduce chances of making a mess and a connection on the small opening for a hose to add fresh water to flush out the drum. Maybe even adapt the outlet to a macerator.1.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Black Tank only holds 1/2 to 1/3 of capacity
Typically there are three sensors on the holding tanks.They are typically spaced at 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of the height/depth of the tank. Monitor panels are typically labeled 1/3, 2/3, and full. With this setup when the monitor panel shows full the tank is actually 3/4 full. Or leaving 1/4 of the capacity remaining.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Unsolicited want to buy your RV people
I haven't had it happen, but it happened to my parents fairly frequently in the 80's. At the time my dad worked in the service department of an RV dealer. In talking to the salesman where he worked he found out that sales people from certain dealers would drive around asking people if the wanted to sell.1.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Water heater replacement ?
I swapped the other way, tankless to tank. You can check the manufacturer to see if they have an installation kit to fit the opening. Or you can try to coble something together but that would likely be a challenge to make it look good. Unless you always stay at sites with full hook ups I would keep the tank.379Views0likes0CommentsRe: What are all of these battery connections on my 17k
Be careful just disconnecting wires some solar charge controllers can be ruined if disconnected from the battery when the panels are producing electricity. It is best to disconnect the panels from the charge controller first.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Water heater replacement
I have done it. First make sure you have enough room for the tank. Mine had an Atwood tankless. I swapped it for an Atwood tank. The tankless was almost as deep as a tank, plus my trailer was built when tankless was pretty new and could have been ordered with either. Mine already had two switches in the control panel to turn on both gas and 120v heating sources. I did have to add a breaker and run romex to the tank heater to power the 120v element. Also check the size of the cut out in the wall to make sure the replacement will fit.304Views0likes0Comments
