Re: 2024 Holiday Rambler
how did you check the breakers just look at them or did you use your hand to see which one is a little lose and which ones are tight. breakers don't flip to the tripped side they just get a little play in the switch and you have to turn it off then back on to reset it.26Views0likes1CommentRe: Installing a vent hole for dryer
depends what you buy, when they first came out they were tiny and you can still buy smaller 2.8cuft ones. they say 4.5cuft is big enough for a family of 4. now that more companies are making them you can get a Ge profile 5.5cuft or stay with any range of sizes under that. My buddy said you also change your laundry habits when you have one as you set the delay start and throw a load in before bed and have it timed to finish when you are ready to fold clothes, and his was quite smaller as it was over 10 years ago when he bought it, but even then he said you do smaller loads more often. he actually liked it better as it was less to fold so he would spend 5 min before bed setting it up and loading, then 5 min in the morning folding. he liked it better than sitting around for a day doing laundry once a week. or you buy the GE profile, spend a little more (pretty close to the price of buying a fancy stacked conventional setup, but its a fancy one) THIS is the GE Canada website, so don't feint when you see the price, but there is a 2.8cuft and the 5.5 they make. so you can space save and do twice as many loads but with less actual work, or you can get the bigger one and get all the bells and whistles like a smart detergent dispenser that hold enough soap and softener for 32 loads and so on. the other bonus is they are 120V 15 amp circuits so easy to locate them, and as a bonus your not putting another hole through your rv that you have to maintain3Views0likes0CommentsRe: Installing a vent hole for dryer
another thing to consider buying instead of a traditional washer and dryer, is a all in one unit. doesn't need a vent, just water supply and a drain. barring that, is there a vent on the outside? if so remove the grill, drill the hole from the outside and then re attach the vent grill.41Views0likes5CommentsRe: Clean the water heater or sanitize the fresh water tank first?
do the hot water tank first, the flush it out good, then do the bleach. I am not a fan of bleach anymore but lots of people use it so do it last after everything is clean, then flush the heck out of it after to get rid of the "bleach" most rv drain lines are 1/2" pex, but there could always be an exception.20Views1like0CommentsRe: Satellite TV and internet.
ya, I guess we are going to have to get people who do satellite posts to add the location where they mostly camp, as we discussed before 1/2 to 2/3rd of the US and pretty much all of Canada doesn't have cell coverage once you get out of the populated areas, or limited coverage due to geological features. if I was to rely on cell coverage I would be screwed, very far and few between that I have cell coverage in a campground.11Views0likes0CommentsRe: Satellite TV and internet.
I am not sure satellite tv is even worth it anymore with the advent of satellite internet and IPTV boxes. the satellite internet gives you the ability to stream anywhere and also lets you use your cell phone just like if you were in a cell coverage area and other stuff. the only downside is the cost of the roam plans, but hopefully as more people go that way the pricing will come down.37Views0likes3CommentsRe: Insight re: purchase
look up mobile rv techs in your area, when buying a older rv it is well worth the couple hours of labour you might have to pay him to go look at it with you. he will know where to look to find the issues and not be blinded by excitement like a purchaser will be. he can also give you an estimate of what it would cost to fix the issues or if they are even worth fixing, and if you should buy it or run away.25Views0likes0Comments
