Re: Do you need a water heater?

We use our water heater for showers and wouldn't be without one. We just have the stock LP unit with no electric option. I do have plans to switch it to an instant on tankless model which runs a bit...

Re: Surge/voltage protector

Nice Jim! Hey, what was the cost on that unit? As always, you do amazing work!

Re: Roadtreks rear mattress dimensions and Futons

A couple sleeping in the 48" bed isn't bad at all (assuming they are close and average size). Heidi and I fit quite well! "Spooning" isn't necessary at all, but you could claim it was if you wanted! ...

Re: Gasoline thievery

Full timing does take most of the worry out of this. I have a locking gas cap and yeah the low ride height and skirting helps too.

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

The typical forced air RV furnaces are horribly loud for sure. Some tell me the newer models are better though. The DV fireplace is much quieter. Fans are an option on them rather than a requirement...

Re: Make this forum the #1 spot for Class B information

Hi Mike, it's easy from that point. Go back to your "my groups" page and click the name of the group you want to get to. It will bring you to the home page for the group, then clicking "messages"...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

I do have those sort of in the back of my mind too, but only as a last resort. The P12000 though would be a better size. Dickinson sent me a few images of them installed in various rigs after I...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

I hear ya on the being nannied by insurance companies! I have never been a fan of them.

For Heidi and I, the HWH mod has so many advantages, maybe they are more important to us since we usually...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

Hi Mike, I definitely understand your points and appreciate the "devils advocate" service :)

The insurance company wasn't too concerned with details actually, when I insured it, I told them...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

Hey Mike, I wanted to address the vent consideration for you. Both the Hot water heater and the LP fireplace draw their combustion air from outside the vehicle then vent the exhaust back out exactly...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

The instant on water heater is actually pretty easy. There are direct replacements for RV's that take up quite a bit less room than the 6 or 10 gallon models with a tank. They have door kits that...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

The ones I am looking at are much smaller. There is one marine version which has been installed in very small RV's in the past, made by Dickenson Marine. I am looking at a few that are a little...

Re: Boondocking in Cold Weather

Hi, sorry I am a bit late to this conversation but thought I might share some things we do when we are in colder environments boondocking. Everything mentioned so far was pretty much right on with...

Re: Roadtrek electrical upgrades/installs - where would you go?

OOOPs! Yeah it's a C not a K... I got it mixed up with one of our friends who always has to remind me his name is with a K :)

Re: Roadtrek electrical upgrades/installs - where would you go?

No problem Mike, Eriks website is https://www.eriksrv.com The page will say Sequim, Washington but I think there is also a link to the Quartzsite store there too. No shortage of places to get work...

Re: Roadtrek electrical upgrades/installs - where would you go?

Hi David, Heidi and I actually use a lot more power than most people in Bs. I remember discussing this with a few folks up at the Grand Marais Bsocial. We often use our microwave and a 1850 Watt...

Re: Roadtrek electrical upgrades/installs - where would you go?

Hey Mike, You know, I did this last spring and it wasn't bad at all. I know you could handle doing the inverter/charger install and pulling the old converter is really pretty easy. I would be happy...

Re: Anyone know this van?

Another possibility is L.E.R. conversions. They had many similar features to Roadtreks and were fairly common. Even had the isle shower in some cases. Looks like a decent rig no matter who made it! ...

Re: Black Water Tank Repair-1991 Coach House 192TB

No doubt it will most likely have to come out to be repaired well if it is actually the tank that is leaking. If you can get it out, locate the leak, identify the material the tank is made from,...

The curtains aren't that new, just the blog page on them. We made them this spring. They sure made a difference over the factory pink & purple flowered ones! I did add a blog page that has links to...

Re: Hole in RT shower faucet

Hmmm, I circumvented that system when I changed out that faucet and shower I guess :)

No problems with ours so far, glad it doesn't seem too critical.

Re: Modify or build?

Welcome! Well, looking at it from the "if I were you" perspective, I would opt for a budget B that was in good shape. There are a lot of middle ground rigs that aren't as completely "RV". I have seen...
