Cadet 1000 watt Wall Heater installation
I found a 3 1/2 inch cavity to install the electric wall heater right in front of the water tank right underneath the steps going up the cabover . Cut a hole in the wall

I created a box as a firewall made out of 1/4 inch plywood

Firewall box installed

Heater wall can installed

Since the cavity is only 3 1/2 inch, I modified a picture frame and installed it in between the wall and the heater grille

Bye Onan and Honda
Our camper will get lighter with this new fuel cell. Size of loaf of bread will power a 5,000 square feet home. Hopefully the price will come down to $3k in the future. Bye Onan and Honda.

RE: Its Official ( UPDATE )
The light and phone cable connection is an option called a charge wizard if it is a progressive dynamics converter. If not a pg converter it is called something different. Either way, it sets up your charge rate and equalization for your batteries. There should be a push button on the device to change the rate. You can do a search for charge wizard for more info.

RE: Trucker GPS
Maybe write an iPhone app and sell it for $9.99 since i has a built GPS then integrate that with Google maps. Create a field where you enter rig height and if its lower that the value you enter, you'll get an alert.

RE: Tankless water heater?
I have a tankless water that I installed at home and it's very efficient however when it quit in the middle of your shower is pita. I have to yell to my wife to hit the reset button. It is unreliable sometimes. Make sure you have a backup water heater with bypass valves. No I won't have that feature in my next RV. They are expensive.

RE: Lake San Antonio or Lake Nacimiento in Central Khali
F-Troup Thanks, is my 34 ft trailer will make it besides watching tree limbs? Are the sites long enough for my trailer?
Wine Country RV Park in Paso is expensive. $65.00 a night and that is out of my budget. It is a nice park though

Lake San Antonio or Lake Nacimiento in Central Khali
DW and I are planning to go to one of these RV Resorts this weekend and we are bringing our 34 feet Jayco 5th wheel. Never been there but I was station at Fort Hunter Liggett in the 70s when I was in the Army. Can you recommend which one is doable for our long trailer? Thanks

RE: Bubble forming in left rear tire at aluminum rim.
My Michelin AT 265/70R17 E rated bubbled on me with 35k miles. I noticed it when I got home from 3k trip to Seattle last summer. America's Tire replaced it but was prorated.
