Re: Kia Soul as a dinghy

I've been looking since they are running deals etc. But I can't get a straight answer on this. Where are you getting that information? All I can find in the owners manual is don't do it. 2020 Kia Soul Owners Manual page 6-242.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Upgrade Awning
Just this weekend replaced my carefree one touch awning arms with new carefree travel'r arms on my 2002 Holiday Rambler. Wasn't to difficult, had my wife help hold things. So far I like the new arms (and yes the not running into the arms is great). If you do it take your time and measure twice. I wired the motor wires into the wires from the old awning and the old switch works, I'm in contact with carefree to see if this is ok or I need to install the new switch. Good luck.382Views0likes0CommentsRe: 120 Volt Water Pump

If you don't have enough flow with your 12V pump, you can upgrade to bigger one in 12V size. I have a sink in the kitchen, sink in the bathroom and a sink in the bedroom and the shower. No all aren't on at the same time, but yes I have 3 faucets plus the shower.855Views0likes0CommentsRe: 120 Volt Water Pump
Thank you bluwtr49, Old-Biscuit for the answers (and Fireup for understanding). I saw the 4gpm shurflo but didn't know how well they worked. The wiring wouldn't be an issue for me, and a simple relay circuit could be used so existing switches could be used. I (and others here) don't really consider camping at racetracks true "boondocking". We don't have hookups but run the generator for 4 to 5 days non stop (as does everyone else there) and if I need the water refilled or the sewer pumped (or ice or a paper or dish worked on or whatever) all I have to do is sit outside for 30 minutes or so and flag the truck driver down.856Views0likes0CommentsRe: 120 Volt Water Pump
Because we like to camp at NASCAR races and other things like that where everyone runs their generators and there are no water hookups. Didn't mean to ruin your day, it was just a question. When I said boondock I was trying to use that term like most I read on here, no generator and only off the batteries.856Views0likes0Comments120 Volt Water Pump
Does anyone out there have a 120 VAC water pump in there coach? We don't boondock and was just wondering if there was an advantage (higher GPM etc) to a 120 Volt pump. We always are running our genny or hooked up to shore power (or can turn the inverter on) so no real need to stick with 12 VDC pump. We aren't having pump issues, just thinking about the water flow at the shower and faucets. Thanks and Merry Christmas!6.5KViews0likes21Comments
