Re: Building fence post sewer hose storage. Need 5.5" caps
I did mine like Barney S did with one exception. My cap is held on by 2 springs, one on each side. I took a cotter pin passed the spring through the center and put it through a hole drilled in the side of the post. Then bent the legs flat against the side (on both sides) then did the same for the cap. This allows 1 handed operation. I just pull the cap out until it clears the post and rotate it under the post. I have had this post on 2 5th wheels for over 50,000 miles and hasn't failed me yet. I'd get pictures, but it is cold and wet and in storage, and I've got a bourbon drink in hand.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Running outside fridge while traveling
I have a 1000w inverter in the 5th. It runs both my outside refrigerator and the inside one. The inside is a French Door residential. I ran some tests on both of them and I have not seen more than 600w being pulled from the inverter. That is with both refrigerators running. I have had the outside refrigerator on an inverter running on 2 campers now. I have ran for days driving out west without opening the door for the kitchen and not had any problems with overheating. When I put the outside refrigerator on the old camper I had two plugs near it. One was for the invertor and the other was regular A/C. I would just plug the refrigerator into the outlet that I needed.688Views0likes0CommentsRe: B&W Ford OEM hitch owners opinion wanted
I have a cable that I attached to the hitch head (there is a hole on the bottom side of the head) and run it down to the puck handle. I use a trailer tongue lock that lock's the base. As for the breakaway cable I put a key snap hook on it. I have the cable doubled up in itself to make it shorter, then I clip it to the ring that holds the chain to the pin in the head.460Views0likes0Comments
