Re: Suburban water heater replacement issue
yeah dealing with PEX crimp clamps directly on fittings adds a layer of complexity. To remove them without damaging the PEX pipe, you can use a PEX crimp ring removal tool, a pair of channel-lock pliers, or a utility knife. Carefully cut the crimp ring along its length, avoiding the PEX pipe beneath. Once the crimp ring is cut, you should be able to slide it off the fitting. If access is limited, a mini hacksaw or reciprocating saw with a fine-tooth blade could be useful. you can also consult with emergency plumber. Remember to turn off the water supply before starting, and having a bucket or towels handy to catch any residual water is a good precaution.730Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ideas to carry spare and bikes
I wanna buy a foldable bike and do research on it, I read here that it is difficult to make a comparison with a Brompton (other than the Chinese clones) as it's pretty much unique in its fold and compactness. My friend is a Brompton owner but an infrequent user of it, the downside is just the 16" wheels - 20" wheels are much better! From what I see in the market the remainder of the decent folders are all much of a muchness based on the core Dahon design that is sold in many re-badged forms (the Dawes folders for example come with - or did - a Dahon manual)957Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mobility Scooter/power chair question
yeah, My granny also use two scooters: a golden buzz and a Strider MIDI for the past 2 years. She is very happy with both. We bought it here after a lot of research. the first one has nice tires and lets you do some off-roading. Both are reasonably priced. The Strider fits on a lift on the back of the car the Hummer is kinda big so I use the former on the road and the latter at home.868Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dometic(?) Portable Ice Maker ZB-12 How to take off sides?
am having trouble removing the plastic side panel of my ice maker that stops the drive assembly from sliding out. The drive motor activates when ice is requested via the lever on the door but the fork doesn't turn. It acts as if it is bound but can be turned by hand...I'm guessing there's a relay of sorts in there/ but I don't want to break the side cover. Any tips to keep me from breaking it?304Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pet Food Recall

I've got a quarter cord of coast live oak, a red oak species that I usually use in the smoker but don't want to pay prices near the park so bringing my own. This is super dense and weighs around 60lbs per cubic foot. By my math, that's just shy of a ton in the truck. The truck not even sagging a bit. I got a 125 Yeti loaded with beers and meat and my trusty Kodiak Canvas 10x14 tent. Camping at 7000 feet elevation so I modded the tent to use a small woodstove as it will likely be in the 30s at night.1.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: New couch ideas ???
I bought a Recliner couch and is by far the absolute best thing I have EVER bought from this page. Not only were they half the price as all sale prices I found during my search for the perfect chair. I had a living room...no tools required, easy as anything you've ever done in your life. Sleek and beautiful Will complement many decors. Massage is awesome. I'd highly recommend this product. I'm also 5'7" and I fit just fine. Absolutely beautiful576Views0likes0CommentsRe: Heat Pump or Not
After opening the camper for the first time, Zone 2 unit wasn't working, initially, there was an error code E1. The problem was with the power to the air conditioner unit. Is the issue with the air source heat pump? Is it ok to replace the circuit board in Zone 1 and Zone 2.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: (Leak!) Toilet plumbing connection to Black Waste tank...
It's very difficult to empty the toilet every other day, especially during camping days. Is it possible to remove the cassette from the toilet and fitting a holding tank under the van? Maybe a Plumber help to install a submersible pump to empty it.978Views0likes0Comments
