| Front or Rear living areas, whats your experience? | 3 Relevance | 6 years ago | Jim | Forum Help & FAQ | |
| WE were looking at the FL before we purchased our 38RL...Here are OUR thoughts on that., And only OUR thoughts, and likes... personal preference... The FL created less space in the Basement, smaller compartment and doors The FL created less outdoor awning space, slideout on curbside up front The FL had lower ceilings where we would be sitting The RE caused us to watch TV with our head tilted sideways The RL cured all of those issues..-- FOR US-- | |||||
| Stink bugs??? | 3 Relevance | 6 years ago | Danny_and_Linda | Forum Help & FAQ | |
| Pick one, or 2, of the electric sonic pest control doodads, people told me they were a bunch of hooey, but after plugging one behind the Basement wall where the vacuum plugged in we never had so much as a cobb webb, keeps critters out also. I also have a gallon jug of Home Defense bug spray that when we parked I'd spray around the tires, leveling jacks & along the power cord that laid on the ground. With these 2 methods we had no bugs, no mice & birds didn't land (or crap) on the RW but only a second or 2. | |||||
| Water Softener recommendations | 3 Relevance | 6 years ago | Jim | Utilities: Plumbing, Electrical and Propane | |
| Brad, When going to storage, I pour a little water out of the top of the softener, but don't drain it. Mind you on the West Coast, except for the past month, we generally don't get much winter. When moving sites, I disconnect it and put it straight into the Basement. Affirmative, you could fill the FW tank with water from the softener outlet. In addition to having test strips, we can usually tell when it requires a regeneration with salt. Time between regens varies with the hardness of the water. We have gone up to 2 months, but have also required one aft ... | |||||
| Burping toilet | 3 Relevance | 6 years ago | Anonymous | Utilities: Plumbing, Electrical and Propane | |
| I wouldn't risk using compressed air. My buddy Terry had his vent line become detached and it put grey water into the Basement and the coroplast area, a poor joint. No fun cleaning up! We've had burping before, cured it via filling the tank and back flushing a few times. If you fill the toilet with water then flush it may clear, but you may get some water on the floor as well! | |||||

| ... really ever run out that I've noticed. Wonder if you have something else going on. Just curious - Are your Basement utility faucet valves on (whatever that thing is called with the blue coiled hose that plugs into it). If so, they can causing mixing of the hot and cold so all you ever really get is warm water. They go unnoticed sometimes because there is no water actually flowing with the hose unplugged. Also see Terryandnina's post where they had the check valve fail allowing the cold to mix back into the tank. | |||||
| Cold shower | 3 Relevance | 6 years ago | Jim | Things in general | |
| We are fulltiming in a somewhat permanently parked 36RL. It gets below freezing in this area quite a bit. The water temperature in the shower is fine, but the shower itself is pretty cold. Having the shower door open all the time isn't very handy. Other than being uncomfortable, my concern is the water lines behind the shower freezing. We run the furnace, and the Basement and belly seems pretty warm, but I still have concerns about the water lines feeding the shower. Has anyone had any problems with this happening? What about the comfort issue? | |||||
| Propane Heater | 3 Relevance | 6 years ago | Anonymous | Utilities: Plumbing, Electrical and Propane | |
| Maybe not totally related, but I talked to a guy parked next to us one day with a window awning on his Montana over the fridge vent. He said it was to prevent the wind from blowing out his fridge. Makes sense now, but at first I thought he had a Basement with windows. 🙂 | |||||
| New To Fifth Wheels | 3 Relevance | 6 years ago | Jim | Towing | |
| ... but we are now determined to make the switch to a Fifth Wheel and do less resort camping and more traveling. Our initial thought was to try and stay under 39' length but we really like the bath and a half at 40'. Wondered if there is a motivating reason to try and stay shorter? in our case we have a king bed and slide in a slide with washer and drier in the side closet . The Basement is packed with chairs and camping equipment similar to a full timer but lighter. I have everything from spare water pump to spare wheel bearings ,seal and races for bearing. ... | |||||

| ... is working fine. Getting ready to switch out the Anderson clip that transitions the romex wire from the body of the rig to the slide power gird to see if it fixes the problem. If it doesn't work, my other option is to pull new wire from the breaker box to the where the existing Anderson clips connect to the slide. Is the 120v run in conduit from the slide to be the Basement and if not will the construction allow me to make the new pull? Any other idea you may have will be helpfull.... | |||||

| ... it from outside to inside your RV. I assume most campground wifi is crappy, so using a hotspot like your JetPack from Verizon or my Nighthawk from AT&T is the easiest and fastest way to get service, and provide wifi inside the trailer. It's important to understand cell boosters do just that, they boost a signal to make it stronger and increase voice quality and data speeds. If there is no service or signal, they can't do anything. There must be a signal first. Think of it as multiplier. 1 bar of service x 3 boosting power = 3 bars of service. 0 bars ... | |||||
| Factory worker signing valance | 3 Relevance | 6 years ago | Danny_and_Linda | Owner Modifications | |
| I've thought after looking at the big gobs of sealant on the joints of my roof that those folks must get paid by the tube, by the foot for wire looking behind the Basement wall & after seeing that maybe paid by the staple as well. I'm assuming you've painted them as mine are just raw OSB, splinters & all. | |||||
| Water Softener install for winter use | 3 Relevance | 6 years ago | Jim | Utilities: Plumbing, Electrical and Propane | |
| Looks good , I had the same concerns for winter so I put mine behind the wall and plumbed in with pex Jeremy just so I understand your softener is in the Basement utility bay where the furnace is? I like the idea of it being there and out of the way but do you have to pull the panel each time you need to add salt to regenerate? I also have to tilt my softener and drain out some water in order to get 2 boxes of salt in it. Do you have to remove your softener to drain it? If you have pics of your installation I’d sure appreciate it. | |||||

| ... a difference. The ones in your ceiling are ONLY for the air conditioning & heat pumps, they have absolutely NOTHING to do with the furnace. You WILL have a furnace return somewhere (not familiar with your floor plan) under a cabinet near the stairs & one up stairs in the bedroom somewhere under a cabinet that draws air from the garage, if you don't have these somewhere they screwed at the factory & your furnace won't be very efficient. Look in the ceiling in the garage, you'll find a register, mines in the door side compartment in the ceiling front corne ... | |||||
| Inverter | 3 Relevance | 6 years ago | Jim | Utilities: Plumbing, Electrical and Propane | |
| I had only 2 AC line on my Magnum Inverter, an input line and the output going to the Fridge. I just made a mod to mine by adding a second output line to a new outlet in the Basement where I plug in a Portable Freezer. The inverter has plenty of power to power both the Fridge and Freezer when traveling. | |||||

| ... you wet bay. As it has a larger 18” reflector you will find it works better in bad weather. I’m always surprised by smaller dishes that lose signal in the rain. Rainy days are when I rely on TV the most. I chose to have a Winegard Travler on the roof. I also carry a smaller portable wth a manual pointer in the Basement. So far I have not needed it yet, but I appreciate your need for a tree or obstacle solution Cheers | |||||
