Weber q issue
So I converted a Weber q to work off of a quick connect line connected to camper. We had to sell our camper and now I have a grill I can’t use. Is their anyway to use it off of a propane tank ? Should I try and sell it ? Or should I contact Weber for a new regulator ? I’m afraid I’ll screw it up trying to fix it and hurt myself2.4KViews0likes10CommentsSelling camper ?
I have a 2016 camper that is paid off. If you were me and wanted to sell it would you do it privately on your own or would you have a camper place sell it for the consignment deal. ? I do not wish to trade in because for medical reasons were not going camping for a while1.6KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Low point drain line caps nightmare

They were removed for winter and that’s when gasket / seal was lost .1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Low point drain line caps nightmare
mobeewan wrote: If the cap is a Flair-it cap and looks like the one in the link, there is no gasket. Those caps are used to cap Flair-it fitting where the PEX tubing has been removed. They seat against the Barb the PEX normally slips over before tightening the nut used to hold the PEX to the fitting. They will hold pressure up to the rating of the fitting, valve or PEX tubing without a gasket. I have a couple I keep on hand in case I have a plumbing problem and have to disconnect a piece of PEX until I would have time to make a repair. I used one once to temporarily cap a tee I added where I was adding a new PEX line where I was installing a captive air tank. I still needed to use the trailers fresh water system before I had time to finish the tank install. So what am I suppose to do. I checked hardware stores and the rv parts department where I bought trailer it and no one can help. I’m getting depressed over this. I called forest river and that was a joke.241Views0likes0CommentsLow point drain line caps nightmare
So I had to pay someone in October to winterize my camper because my health was really bad. My trailer has 5 drain lines underneath. Some are labeled and some are not. On one side of camper near the hot water tank it has 2 underneath it and says low drain. Their side by side ( touching ) . To the left of that is one labeled fresh tank drain. The guy who winterized left all 3 caps off and put them in the hot water tank access door area. One of the 3 was missing a rubber gasket. I checked Home Depot, a plumbing supply store and even the service department where I bought the trailer. Nobody has this size gasket. They said they will contact forest river and call me back. They haven’t called yet . So here’s my questions please try and help. The cap is this size and looks similar to this. I can’t see the gasket inside so I’m not sure if it’s the right one or even if it has one. It’s cheap so I tried . You think this is what I need ? Flair-It 16860 Plastic Cap Fitting, 0.5" Size https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H602C8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Tb5QCb78BXCPB Second question: on the opposite side of trailer theirs 2 more lines . These are not labeled and he left the caps on these lines. Is their an explanation for why these caps are left on and the others I described above were left off. ? I need some education if you guys don’t mind sparing the time. It’s a surveyor 2016 by forest river6.9KViews0likes21CommentsNew guy questions ( sorry )
First off my hot water tank has threads that are really gunked up with hard white and pink looking crud. I assume I have to buy a small enough wire brush to get in their and goto town correct? Also should i replace the anode rod every season ? Looks terrible Do you guys know the screw on caps that are on the different drains for fresh water tank and stuff underneath the camper. I have three of them but noticed one of them is missing the gasket. I assume it should have a gasket because the other 2 do. Is this gasket something I can find in a hardware store or Walmart rv section? It seems like it’s not a common size gasket . Lastly can someone give me the size of the socket I need to crank or uncrank the support/stabilizer jacks that are on each corner of camper ? I hate using an adjustable wrench it takes forever . Thanks guys1.4KViews0likes7Comments
