Re: Nor cold n811 codes
I have a 2 week old trailer with a Norcold N811 in it. This past Saturday night, we somehow tripped the park breaker without knowing it and woke up freezing at 5 AM. Long and short of it is the furnace wouldn't run and I believe I starved the fridge of the necessary voltage due to running the battery down. I too have a 6 flash green indicator. I have since found a Norcold Service Bulletin for Trouble Shooting Power Boards and Control Panels. It is publication no. 631361A (5-31-07). It identifies the 6 flash code as probably being caused by (1) The open limit switch in the cooling unit canister has tripped, or, (2) The switch connections or jumper wire is disconnected. The only switch I am aware of is the thermal switch on the flue and it has continuity through it @ 13.2V. Any help would be appreciated...not that I just can't take it back to my dealer, but I am an instant gratification kind of person!! Plus, I dread the thought of having to leave it there for as long as we waited for it and now is camping season.2.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Propane Tanks

A propane TANK is fixed to the RV and is generally not portable or intended be frequently removed. The distinction is important, because the inspection requirements are different. Cylinders need periodic inspections and recertification by a qualified US DOT-trained inspector. (These are pretty common, not hard to find.) DOT inspection requirements, and list of qualified inspectors. Tanks are manufactured to standards set by ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) and are not required to be re-certified. Of course it's a good idea to give your tank and valves a thorough look to check for excessive rust or damaged fittings. Thing is, myself and everyone else knew immediately what she was talking about...correct nomenclature or just plain 'ol common sense have a lot of the same qualities.336Views0likes0CommentsRe: just 2 observations
I would like to add an observation I have made...when I don't worry about what everybody else is or isn't doing, camping and life in general is a whole lot less stressful. Everybody enjoys different things and enjoys things differently. I wish we could all lighten up just a little bit. (no pun intended!)325Views0likes0CommentsNeed Suggestions
We are going to be in the market soon for a new TT. We currently have a Keystone Passport 2590BH that we have outgrown. We have determined that the next trailer needs to have some certain things: 1)Neo Angle shower; 2)Angled toilet that isn't shoved between a wall and a cabinet; 3)Bunkhouse with room for at least three and is cordoned off from the rest of the trailer with a door...a curtain or accordion door won't do; 4)Master BR must have a fully walk around bed, also preferably with a regular door; 5)Outdoor kitchen; 6)Rear bumper rack. I know I don't ask for much, right?!! Weight isn't really a factor as I will also be purchasing a 3/4 ton truck. I look forward to all of your suggestions and sincerely appreciate your help!1.4KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Never seen this one before
WOW!! I never thought things would get this stirred up! I want to make a couple points...when I said a tub, I meant a 30-40 gallon Sterilite tub. I look at it as being the same as running a hose to within 15-20' of his campsite and draining my gray water tank. I decided to keep my mouth shut and talked to the guy some and let him conduct his business the way he saw fit.:)339Views0likes0Comments
