Re: Furnace runs for 8 minutes at a time.
Sounds like the thermostat tolerance is too wide. Might be something like +/- 2 degrees default. What thermostat did you install? The tolerance may be adjustable. Ex. In heating set to 70 degrees. Furnace comes on when temp drops below 68 then shuts off at 72. Will not come on again until temp drops below 68 again. When you lower the temperature setting manually you are resetting the thermostat and that's why it starts again.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: A heads up on power
These regulators look like a great value. 5000 watts for $130? This is the model with the analog voltage meter. https://www.110220volts.com/ar-5000m.html If it's rated for 5000 watts load then the input conductors must be rated for at least 30 amps. This is what I'm looking for to use in my 30 amp Winnebago Vista. It's cheaper than the progressive EMS-PT30C and since it regulates low and high voltage instead of just tripping like the EMS it has more value. Am I looking at this correctly? The input cord will have to be change to a standard 30 amp and the output will also need a 30 amp adapter. Otherwise it looks to me like it will work.365Views0likes0CommentsRe: Jayco Vs Winnebago Quality

But the layout I would like (the Vista 31KE has a wheelbase of 190" which according to the ratings from RV Consumer group is too short to recommend and they claim it would be too difficult to drive and be suceptable to wandering and being blown around by trucks. Congrats on the new MH. I see you decided against the 31KE due to the 190" wheelbase and went with the 29VE which has a 190" wheelbase. LOL don't worry, the Ford F53 chassis handling is easy to fix. The basics are: set tire pressures based upon loaded weight; install rear track bar; move stabilizer bar link connections to inner holes. Advanced improvements include upgraded shocks and sumo springs. I did the basics on my 2014 31KE and it now handles better than my old Fleetwood Class C 23e. I also made the rear trackbar and stabilizer link extensions myself so the total cost for my upgrades was about $100. You can pay someone to do it all for you for probably around $750.2.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Itasca 31ke bedroom TV wall mounting
I did it on my 2014 vista 31ke. Sorry, didn't take pictures. Have to remove the wall panel and add wood bracing. First figure out where your tv bracket needs to be screwed to the wall and mark scew holes. Then remove screws holding wall panel on and remove wall panel. Cut a piece of wood to fit between existing bracing where your bracket screws need to go. Screw on new wood backing and put it all back together. Repeat after realizing wood is wrong place (optional). Took a couple of hours.175Views0likes0Comments
