Re: RV water hose/spigot issue (winter)
I really appreciate all the feedback. We went ahead and ordered a heated hose. We are going to cover the spigot around the well with a box and insulation and put a lamp in it. Also will put a lamp where the intake valve is to the camper. We’ve already put up tievek and hay bales around the camper. I did look into just putting water into the holding tank but I cannot seem to figure out how to do that on this Cougar rv. One last thing. Should our gray and black tanks just be left open? Some people have told me we need to and others have said no because it will freeze shut. So not sure what to do there. Thanks again.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRV water hose/spigot issue (winter)
Good afternoon folks. You guys have been super helpful over the last few weeks so hopefully you can help. We are currently living on out land in the fifth wheel as are building our home. We have a garden hose hooked to our well and the spigot is outside the the well house. We do have a heat lamp inside the well house but this am when the temps dropped to 18 degrees we had our water freeze. I’ve done research. Went to Ace and Sutherland’s and can’t seem to get any straight answers on the correct way to do it. The first thing we found was a heated hose which is fine (and expensive) but that doesn’t help our freezing spigot issue. Then we have the heat tape but they all warn against putting heat tape on hoses. Should we build a small area around the spigot and put another lamp in that small enclosure? Should we wrap insulation around the entire hose and spigot? Is there anything we need to be concerned about with pipes under the camper (bathroom etc)? Thank you for any help or guidance. We are in Missouri so this weather will be prevalent throughout the winter. Thank you.2.8KViews0likes12CommentsRe: RV Toilet issue

We have an rv and for the last few months, about every 30 days or so a black looking valve cover, I’d say it’s the size of maybe a bike tire valve (and it looks like one too) kept popping off from the back of the toilet. When it does that and you step to flush water just flows out of the back and hence doesn’t flush. I have looked everywhere for this little piece that seems to just slip over the spigot in the back of the toilet. I’ve no idea what it’s called Toilet pressure valve stem cover? Generally we just pop it back on and it’s fine. This one seems to have slipped into ten vent and is gone. I cannot find this little piece. It fits on this piece: DOMETIC 87 MAX PRESSURE 125 PSI. I am not looking for the entire pressure valve or whatever. I’m not very good at explaining this. ??1.3KViews0likes3Comments- 722Views0likes0Comments
Re: Propane issues
Yes their are TWO regulators. One on the external tank and one on the RV. I think that may be an issue as well and not sure why he’d not just install it properly! I really feel this is the gas companies deal. They dropped the tank and gave a bill for $900 and basically said good luck. I’ll turn on the other stuff and see if it helps circulate the gas too.721Views0likes0Comments
