RE: California DL towing an Exactly 10,000 lb GVWR trailer
You can tow 10K or Under with your Class C Drivers License
You can NOT tow a 10,001# with your Class C DL

RE: norcold
Check the settings on your fridge... Once turned on, you should be able to choose how the fridge is powered... just had my MH in for service, and my tech recommended I always run fridge on propane, not AC (don't forget to turn your inverter on)...
What was his reasoning for only propane??

RE: norcold
If it works on AC then it has 12VDC ...for display, interior light, controls and propane system
Doesn't work on propane.....
Could be several items. Details would be helpful
Model of Norcold
Has it been a while since you tried propane....might take several attempts to get gas flow
Does it SPARK
Does Flame light and then go out
Does flame light, stay lit but fridge doesn't cool/gets warm
Details cause it could be something simple/cheap or more expensive

RE: Hot Water Question
That Suburban doesn't use a mixing valve
Does same issue...hot/warm/cold happen when using city water via hose?
Water heaters use dip tubes to direct cold inlet down and take hot off top area of water level
If either dip tube has broken/fallen off the hot/cold mix and can quickly dilute the hot out
Suburban Diffusers
Cold Inlet....#171054
Hot Outlet...#171509
Installed from exterior of tank via cold inlet/hot outlet ports
I'll check for those this afternoon. How hard are they to install? Any instructions would help. Why would my water work without the pump or city water hooked up? I appreciate you!
Diffusers are installed from the outside of tank
Disconnect water line
Remove any fittings on tank inlet/outlet
Remove the broken diffuser 'flange'
Slip new diffuser in thru the opening...reassemble fittings/lines
AS to water flow w/o pump/city water
IF you do NOT have a hose connected and the pump is OFF how much flow are we talking about?
W/O Pump ON and NO city water hose connected then flow from a faucet should only be a short burst from system pressure then just a trickle to nothing
IF--IF you have an 'accumulator tank' (small tank on cold water system) then flow would be a bit longer but dwindle after a short duration.

RE: Need freezer seal ideas
Clean seals thoroughly
Place cotton balls under each corner
Warm seal thoroughly using hair dryer
When the complete seal is warm....close freezer door and let seals 'reset'
After seal has cooled remove cotton balls and check for leakage

RE: Hot Water Question
Brand/Model would be helpful?
Water is HOT until you turn pump on...then luke warm...cold
How do you know it is HOT to begin with?
Does it stay HOT using city water?
Same hot--warm--cold at ALL Faucets?
Does water heater have 'heat exchanger' or 'motor-aid' system?
HOT water becoming warm/cold HAS to be diluted by cold water:
Either via WH TANK 'ByPass', via shower knobs not being closed, via clogged mixing valve.
*only places cold can get into hot plumbing lines

RE: Water Heater Mixing Valve Issue
Remove the mixing valve and replumb. Remove the thermostat and replace it with a standard 140° stat. Those mixing valve systems from Atwoods were nothing but a problem from the get-go.
Richard
XT Models (Mixing Valves) use a 160*F T-stat
as mentioned replace with a standard Atwood T-stat (140*F) should you delete the mixing valve
You will also need to change out the t-stat Brown wire connector from a 'PIN' type (used on XT) to a 'Small Spade' type (used with the 140*F T-stat
Mixing Valve in concept is/was a good idea......higher water temp allows more available hot water due to outlet temp controlled to 130*F from Mixing Valve
Unfortunately scale/calcium in water source clogs up the Hot inlet side of Mixing Valve causing luke warm/cold water output

RE: Dometic fridge WITHOUT thermostat
He is saying when you are set to propane only there are no lights.
It only turns orange when propane fails to light.
Correct BUT...if you are set to "Auto" then the "auto" stays on regardless of whether you are running on elec or gas.
Only when the auto/gas button is in the "gas" position are no lights on.
The "check" light is separate from the "auto" light.
CORRECT!
OP...
As for that 'white thing'
That is the CLIP ...thermistor goes inside that clip with just the tip protruding from top of clip
Clip with thermistor goes on far right fin
Try Mid Fin Position 1st...wait 24 hrs and then check fridge temps
Adjust UP for Colder
Adjust DOWN for Warmer
W/O clip/thermistor attached to fin fridge thermostat doesn't get any temp feed back so it continues to call for cooling...hence a very cold fridge (food compartment freezing items)

RE: trailer brakes failed, any brake experts on here?
Sounds like brake controller and/or brake power wire to truck 7 pin is failing/shorting
Throws codes w/o trailer connected
Need to disconnect brake controller and check continuity on the Brake Power Wire from controller plug to the 7 pin on truck
No continuity then that wire is shorted some where on truck

RE: Dometic fridge WITHOUT thermostat
OK, that seems weird though.
We never have hookups and our fridge is always running on propane and always have lights on. (But then again I've never had a fridge without a thermostat either)
Fridge has a 'thermostat' ----ALL fridges do
That model just doesn't have a means of adjusting the temperature range
When ON propane the only display lights would be CHECK and you dont; want to see that one ON
No lights...fridge cold ...all good
*Yes there should be some indication that fridge is ON other than a fault light when it is NOT working. Stupid design!
