Re: Winterizing

Maybe I'm not explaining what I want to do very well. We already winterized, so all lines have antifreeze in them. What I want to do is drain all the lines of the antifreeze and leave them empty. ...

Re: Removing power sofa

Thanks rscheider for your response. That's what I would like to do, but my D H doesn't want to go that route for whatever reason. I'm hoping I can convince him to at least take the cushions off. ...

City water in take vs. a city water in take with check valve

On our C190P Roadtrek, we had a city water in take with check valve and when we would winterize it, we would insert the end of a pencil to release the valve to allow antifreeze to drain. On our 2013...

Re: Removing power sofa

Thank for your responses. Booster your mod is fantastic, but more work then we are capable of doing. I was hoping that maybe we could just remove the cushions on the sofa and put a sheet of plywood...

Removing power sofa

We are thinking of removing our power sofa or the cushions on it, and replacing it with a foam bed. Has anyone removed the entire sofa or just the cushions?
How easy/difficult was it?

Re: Have things changed for you? (Class B related)

We like mixing it up. Depending on our "plan" for the day, we might fix a quick breakfast, cold cereal etc, have a big lunch out and save half for later or the next day. Last year we bought a slow...

Re: Do we need a generator?

We have a Honda 2000 and used it with a 15' TT. It would run the AC, but you could not run anything else with it. Not a big deal to us. When we wanted to run something else, we just turned the AC...

Re: Winterizing your RV water systems - 20 step thorough met

Re: Winterizing your RV water systems - 20 step thorough met

We won't be adding antifreeze in our inside tank, it'll be fresh water. We do not want any antifreeze in the lines. This way we can boon dock and still be able to use the shower. We have used the...

Re: Winterizing your RV water systems - 20 step thorough met

With our RT we use approx. 2 gals. We have the pump converter winterizer kit installed and it makes it an easy job to winterize. It takes approximately 3/4 gal to pump thru the lines and the rest...

Re: troubleshooting hot water flow

Not sure if this will help, but our sink pressure was slow and causing the water pump to surge. It didn't do it at the shower or toilet. Running it thru the city water hook up, we notice a slower...

Re: Dogs and Record High Temps

Mike, our back up plan is just that...a back up plan. The odds of the AC, FF and battery failing all at the same time IMO would be rare. It gives us peace of mind knowing that if we loose electric...
