Re: Wards does not like the Eco-Boost

And when you drive like a sedated 83 year old: That was from a 300 mile trip on the pan-flat prairie at 55-60mph, no wind or tailwind. I got 24.5 on a 300 mile trip under similar conditions (snowy/slippery, no wind or tailwind, couldn't drive more than 55mph). I've also gotten 6mpg on a 300 mile trip, towing against the wind on a red flag day at 60+mph.359Views0likes0CommentsRe: Livin Lite

Still deciding if the interior decor is more like the inside of an ambulance, or a meat locker.261Views0likes0CommentsRe: Livin Lite Camplite owner - review/comments

I'm pretty sure the floor will be closer to the outside air temperature than a conventional trailer. It's aluminum, with more surface area exposed to the outside than the inside. Rugs or mats help keep the floor feeling warmer in winter.2.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Renewing with Coach Net

I have a 16BHB, and am unimpressed by how the plumbing was run under the trailer. One thing I like to do to camp in cold weather, but with exposed plumbing crossing back and forth across the underside of the trailer, I end up using water jugs instead of plumbing any time it gets near freezing. So I figured out that on the 16BHB you can run all the supply side plumbing inside the trailer without disrupting the look of the interior too badly. A trip to the home despot and a hundred bucks in PEX, and I now have indoor plumbing. The red lines are how I routed the supply lines. I ran white & red PEX from the pump (P) under the shower, where I picked up the shower and toilet, through the gap between the shower and dinette, under the dinette bench where I picked up the water heater (W), then under the dinette benches around to the kitchen. The plumbing is visible in the 5" gap between the shower and dinette and would be visible between the dinette and kitchen, but I already filled the kitchen side gap with slide-out shelves. So on my camper, you can't see pipes in that gap. Here's a pic of the shelf. It hides the plumbing that feeds the kitchen sink. This is the first step toward being able to camp a bit farther into the fall before having to winterize. I'm dreaming up a way to have a small tank under the bunk that I can switch in to the suction side, and if that fails, I'll add tank heaters. Here's a winter pic for those in the south who are suffering the heat. Just think - ice cold slushies wherever you look. Just remember that the yellow ones aren't lemonade.391Views0likes0Comments
