Norcold N7X solenoid knurled knob adjustment
Hello, I've been told that an item to check for a weak flame other than LP pressure is the position of the knurled knob on the solenoid. Anyone know how (pull-to-turn or just turn) and to what exact position (CW/CCW, slot level) to set it? Thanks, Bob1.2KViews0likes2CommentsNew travel trailer delivered with bubble along the edges
Our new 2022 Lance 1985 travel trailer came with about 2 inches of a bubble (1/2 inch high), on the roof, along the left and right edges, the full length of the trailer. I mentioned it to the dealer and they maintain it is normal. I've not been able to find anything on line either way but the issue concerns me. I read on another blog that an old thread explained why this is normal. My roof material is TPO. Does anyone have any information?5.7KViews0likes20CommentsRe: Diesel vs gas......................

Most here as I'm sure you've gathered, would not be at all happy with it even towing around Florida. I'm thinking you meant a 6.4 or 6.7L diesel F250 is on the lot for a discounted price? The towing experience would no doubt be more relaxing with the 6.4L or 6.7L diesel. The sound of an engine running sometimes over 2k rpm above non towing rpm brings out the cringe in most people not used to hearing it or expecting to hear it. Doesn't hurt the engine at all but, it can ruin your trip if you cringe yourself into a painful migraine. For me it's music to my ears. If higher rpm makes you tense or if you're planning on high elevations in your travels, the diesel might be the way to go. I'll leave the topic of potential higher repair costs for the owners of newer diesels to respond to. Thanks - yes 6.7L diesel V8 - is it music to your ears because with all the diesels you've owned - diesel gas is now more expensive and the modern diesel engines are more expensive to maintain and repair and you are thinking about what you will not be spending or another reason?402Views0likes0CommentsRe: Diesel vs gas......................

I replaced them and the tailpipe is clean again. Hannibal - I did not have a comment on your post but I'm looking for some advice. I noticed your fifth wheel. It is the same dry weight as the one we just purchased. We are now looking for a truck. I've read back 15 pages of posts so I see in general what the community is saying. Situation: We were looking for a F250 XLT gas 6.2L V8 and had almost decided to order one when we saw a F250 XLT 6.8L V8 on the lot with most of what we wanted on it and due to dealer incentives and workplace discount the price will only be $2.5K more than ordering the gas. I always thought that the "$10K" difference made our decision for us but now I'm on the fence. Any thoughts? Any body else please chime in.402Views0likes0Comments
