Re: Itasca Ellipse

Most black water waste is liquid if you get my drift. I am not told the unit has a Macerator installed. Just a vac flush, when mother nature say`s too much is too much how does a person clean the piping out?214Views0likes0CommentsItasca Ellipse
Does anyone have pros & cons on the Vac system with the toilet plumbing. I am looking at a Itasca Ellipse model there are other manufacturers that have had these toilet system for years. Any information would be appreciated. Things I am looking for, is does the toilet paper and solids goes through the system with no problems. Or what is the answer if the system would plug up?1.4KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Volt Regulator

One day we pulled into a park and there was really only one acceptable site open, So I backed into it.

My voltmeter was always in the GREEN, So why did I have green when neighbor on same circuit had red. Shore----Inlet---Hughes autoformer---Transfer switch--RV That is how mine is set up Park rules in some parks prohibit Autoformer.. Which is why you need tools to lay eyes on mine. And of course the knowledge of where to tool. Soon, I will modify as follows Autoformer-----x x---Transfer switch Autoformer---Surge guard---_Transfer switch. This is a plug in mod. Once I get the Surge Guard modified for installation instead of plug in. (longer cords) What advantage would it be to install a Transfer switch?438Views0likes0CommentsRe: Volt Regulator
So after reading the responses of all you kind people the volt regulator would be the way to go it says it has a surge protector installed in the unit? Again the reason I focused on fulltimers was because we will be at different campgrounds as we see the country. As I have read each campground will be different and different time of day will make a voltage drop such as morning (coffee makers ect.), the purpose of choosing the voltage reg. is to protect my appliances in my coach.437Views0likes0CommentsVolt Regulator
I thought I would start here. Does the experience rv fulltimers feel that it is wise to invest in a voltage regulator. Such as autoformers or a rv volt regulator to keep and maintain correct volt from rv campgrounds pedestals connections? Is it a possible or common problem that people find at campgrounds?6KViews0likes23Comments- 125Views0likes0Comments
