RE: Vortex II fans

I have a Maxx Air in the bedroom and a Vortex II in the bathroom. The Vortex is fitted with a PWM controller and we almost never operate it at full power, it moves plenty of air.

RE: Dinette Booth - Replace free standing chairs

Post on some classifieds here and there and you can probably find someone to trade with you. Most people want to go the other way.

RE: Occupied RV Fire

Maybe this was the heater:

This stupid suggestion is all over Facebook the last couple of days.

RE: Do you sanitize your black tank?

Beats me why anyone would be compelled to sanitize the black tank and yet some do. I'm guessing it's some kind of OCD thing.

RE: Front Cap Cover

Is your cap painted or gel coat? It was gel coat that was fading, many caps are painted now. Mine is from the factory.

RE: Blown fuse 06 weekend warrior super lite

Let me guess, this is in an outside compartment where the power cord is located? There is a metal breaker box, a separate fuse block, and an Iota converter screwed to the wall?
You have a shorted circuit somewhere between the fuse block and the panel inside. It could be anywhere in between. Has any work been done on it lately?
Instead of blowing an endless number of fuses, use an incandescent light bulb in its place. The bulb will light and you can go about locating the short. When the bulb goes out - the short is gone.

RE: Recording video feed from furrion vision s system

One reason I got the Haloview MC7108 is because it records everything but the main reason was that it's way less $ than Furrion.

RE: Fuel tank electrolosis rust removal

I've done motorcycle tanks using POR-15. It's a bit of work but I see they also have an auto/truck kit.

RE: Harbor Freight Tailgator generator review

I've had the little HF 800/900 two stroke generator for at least five years. I paid around $70 for the little workhorse. It really is an impressive machine. You wouldn't believe all the things I've run from it.
A partial list:
chainsaw
microwave
5,000 BTU window air conditioner
weed wacker
sidewalk edger
1,200 watt heater

RE: Dump Station Etiquette???

If no line, do whatever you want.
If there is a line, dump and get out of the way. There is no need to rinse regularly anyhow, I rinse a once year before putting it in storage. During the season, dump, add a couple gallons of water and you're good.

RE: Is this doable or am I overlooking something??

It can be done and as others have stated - it is done but technically two power sources into one structure is a code violation.

RE: Installing a Water Accumator Tank

I would imagine one could put the accumulator on a cold water line anywhere it fits. The pump is in the bedroom but I have dead space under the kitchen sink. What do you think?

RE: Drill Holster (tip)

I just screwed a scrap piece of PVC pipe to the wall and stick my drill in that. Going by memory I think it was 2" pipe.

RE: Busted!

In my city you can't park any vehicle in front of the house. On your half acre it shouldn't be a problem to comply.

RE: Why are the Mr Heaters cheaper in price?

Humidity is often a problem when RVing in cold temperatures. Unvented combustion heaters of any type put large amounts of moisture in the air, your furnace does not.

Santan is very highly recommended on several solar Facebook groups I watch. Apparently there are many happy customers.

RE: Why are the Mr Heaters cheaper in price?

The Mr. Heater products are not catalytic, they are referred to as a blue flame heater and are much cheaper to produce.
If it is what you want the price is the lowest in the past 30 days and is a 25 percent savings.

RE: RV Airflow

Did it myself to my Dometic AC using some sheet metal. I noticed the same thing as the inventor, it dumps cold air into a box where it has to bounce around until finding its way to the ductwork. It is really a poor design and using some method to direct the air smoothly to the duct openings helps the flow and speed.

RE: One way valve on hot water in shower

I used one of these between the hot water pipe and the hot faucet, and then I added one of these at the base of the shower head hose. No more icy or scalding water when taking a Navy shower in the TT. Pretty easy install.
Exactly what I did, either I copied you or you copied me. Either way it works perfectly.
