RE: Jack Failure Disaster
The inside of that camper is spectacular! Full of character and gorgeous detail. So glad it’s survived it’s ordeal intact!

RE: What did you do to your Camper Today?
Loaded it onto the truck and started packing up. I leave Monday for the first trip of the year to Utah and Wyoming.

RE: Jack Failure Disaster
More points of contact means more stability, especially on uneven ground.

RE: Jack Failure Disaster
So a 3-wheeler is more stable than a 4-wheeler?
I’m gonna disagree with that based on experience and physics.

RE: Jack Failure Disaster
That’s a tough one. Sounds more than anything like the weight was just too much for the mounts. If the camper wasn’t designed for 4 jacks, maybe that’s the problem? Any photos you can share? How old is the camper?

RE: What did you do to your Camper Today?
Installed a new carburetor into my Honda generator and got it running again and also replaced the escape hatch cover over the bed. The old one got ripped off in a monster wind storm outside of Rawlins, Wyoming last fall. Hearing up for a trip to Utah next week and want to make sure all is smooth!

RE: fridge blowing out
I always understood it was unwise to drive with the propane going on a fridge? Is this not correct after all?

RE: Water heater won’t stay lit with hatch door shut
Looks interesting. I’ll just stick with my window screen patch and remove it when I need to fire up the heater though.

RE: Water heater won’t stay lit with hatch door shut
I’ll give that a shot tomorrow. It’s a brand new unit that I just fired up this week for the first time after installing a couple of months ago.
The exhaust port is aligned fine so I don’t think it’s that.
Edited to add:
I got curious and just ran out to test again. I had installed a piece of window screen in front of the exhaust prevent mud dauber wasps from coming in and building nests. After removing it and trying to water heater again, it fired right up and stay lit. Turns out the window screen was enough deflection/baffle to choke off the oxygen and lead to a build up of exhaust.
Thanks for the suggestion to check!

Water heater won’t stay lit with hatch door shut
Here’s the deal: I replaced my old, burned out water heater with a new Dometic. It fires up, stays lit, and works great as long as the outside hatch is ajar or fully open. As soon as I shut it and latch it, the heater is starved of O2 and sputters out. Anyone else have this problem? I use a small metal pin to keep it ajar when it’s running now, but wonder if there’s another solution I’m just not seeing?
Thoughts?
