Re: Water hose - Sewer hose - Pressure regulator.
Rhino is my back-up for sewer hoses. I use a Valterra Dominator. Made of thicker material and stays put when collapsed. http://www.valterra.com/product/dominator-sewer-hose-kit-15-boxed/?pcat_id=1346 The little brass things by Camco are not regulators, and ought to be against the law to advertise them as such. They are just a flow restrictor. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Camco-Brass-Water-Regulator/14504323 Hook one up to a 90 psi system with a pressure gauge after it. The pressure won't be 90 psi when using water, but turn off all water flow and watch the gauge. It will go to 90 psi. Absolutely worthless. Yes a Watts is expensive, but you can get something close such as this- http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/adjustable-water-regulator-lead-free/49511 Just about any hose rated for potable water will work, but keep in mind the cheaper ones cost less for a reason. Mostly the fittings don't generally hold up as well as some of the costlier ones.568Views0likes0CommentsRe: E450 questions

That is the beginning of the E450. After a few years, Ford dropped the E-Super Duty and branded their Class C chassis as E350 Super Duty and E450 Super Duty. Maybe oversimplified, but 1992-1996 E350 with 460 and E4OD transmission 1997-8-9 E350 and E-Super Duty with V10 at 275HP and 4R100 transmission 2000-1-2-3-4 E350 SD and E450 SD with V10 at 305HP and 4R100 2005? -6-7 Same but with TorqShift 5-speed transmission 2008-15 Same with new styling 2016 Same with new Six-Speed transmission Actually the Six-Speed isn't new. Ford has been using it in their Super Duty pick-ups since 2011 behind both the 6.2 gasser and the 6.7 diesel. It's a shame it took them this long to get it behind the V-10. It's a great transmission. When using the "manual" feature, it's almost like having a clutchless manual transmission.560Views0likes0CommentsRe: Battery powered Impact WRENCH or Impact DRIVER?
I have yet to figure out why someone would want to use an impact on their stabilizers. A decent cordless drill will do the job just fine. If the stabilizers are so tight that one would need an impact, that person needs to do some maintenance on their stabilizers.341Views0likes0CommentsRe: Senior pass increase
Man, what a sad bunch of off topic bickering. When I read MNDriver's post, I took it as humor. LOL at the beginning, smiley face, and grinning face in the post. Ya'll need to lighten up. And no need to bring Trump into it, this was done under the Obama Administration before Trump took office.474Views0likes0CommentsRe: dsi fault
DSI fault light can come on momentarily when the water heater is first fired up on LP. I usually purge my LP lines after I open the tank(s) by using the stovetop burners. It may take a couple of tries to light the water heater when first using it on LP. The light just means the burner didn't light.466Views0likes0CommentsRe: Exterior lights
Looks nice:) I'm thinking about adding a set to mine. I like the dimmable part. Most are brighter than what I like. My porch light is bright enough to light up my whole backyard. I have a lighted door handle that comes on with the porch light. One of these days, I'm see what I can do to split the circuit and just be able to use the door handle light.156Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2014 Sunseeker 3170DS not charging?
Mine doesn't charge the batteries with the battery switch off. The converter will still power the 12 system when plugged into shore power or genny is running. You may want to check to see if you are correct about charging the batteries with switch off.330Views0likes0Comments
