RE: hot water heater
Water heater.
I opened this thread NOT because I was interested in the topic, but just to see if somebody would have to tell the poster that it is a WATER HEATER.
Thank goodness I was not disappointed.

RE: How about a RGV update
We are enroute at this time.
The numbers are much improved
But only due to some pretty tight restrictions.
We will have Mandatory
14 day quarantine when we arrive and limited activities after that.
We are in Palmview.
Quarantine by choice or mandated? By who?

RE: 6 Volt Interstate batteries
I bought 2 EHD Interstate 6 volt batteries. That lasted over 4 years. If I would have treated them better I would have gotten better life.
I just replaced them with the same battery. Real interstates not costco really brand. These are the 225 amp batteries.
They are performing well I won't switch.
I paid 300. Installed. Everything cleaned and professionally installed.

RE: Avoid drive thru Salt Lake City
The first time we drove through SLC towing a 20 ft travel trailer my lovely was so scared she cried the whole way.
The last time we drove through Nevada to avoid it.

RE: Heart attack question
I appreciate you wanting to get some actual experiential advise from your peers. And you have gotten some good advice.
As a person who experiences angina almost every day, my advice is to make a list of questions for your cardiologist, get an appointment for a consult.
If he/she doesn't have time for all your questions find a new one.

RE: weber bbq q 100
I have heard? That turning on the gas quickly keys a limiter and the flame is lower. That seemed to happen with my Q.
I now turn on and increase the propane very slowly.
Seems to work?

RE: Painting interior??
I have painted most of the interior of my trailer, we love it.
I washed the walls with soap and water to make sure there were no greasy/dirty places.
I did not use a primer, the real high quality paints have incredible sticking power.
Number one advice! Use the best, premier brand paint you can buy. I used Sherwin Williams their highest grade. It was about 50.00 per gallon retail. Don't skimp on paint quality. You will be sorry.
If you are going to all the work to prep and paint buy the best paint.

RE: 100 days till snowbirding........ maybe not
We will be heading south as usual in late October. WA virus isn't much different than AZ and we don't need to be in close contact with anybody when we are traveling unless we choose to. We can go a long time with the 100 gallon fresh water and equivalent holding tanks. We aren't close to anyone when fueling either. We would rather be distancing from others in warm weather than in cold weather.
I think it is possible to RV anywhere in the country safely.
But you have to be smart and acknowledge the seriousness of tge pandemic.
It sounds to me like you have thought it through and have a good plan.
The only problem I see is if Arizona, Florida and Texas continue like it is currently the medical facilities will be overwhelmed and then if you have a non-covid emergency you may not get the care you need.
Good luck.

RE: Installed new kitchen faucet.. success
Yes, yes I did feel a little super human, until the next morning I was sore in places I forgot I had.
But I am still rejoicing.

Installed new kitchen faucet.. success
I had a leaky faucet and i needed to change out.
To reach it I had to dismantle the shelves and storage under the sink,
Sawing, drilling and demolition tools were required.
After laying down 4 layers of throw rugs for padding I inserted my too big body in the cabinet.
After sweating, cursing and grunting I was able to get the old faucet out.
Made a trip to Lowes for parts, new faucet, pex style shutoff and misc clips and clamps.
Back under the cramped space under the sink I got everything installed.
The moment of truth was when everything was turned on.
It worked! Eureka! No leaks!
This was the first time I have ever done a plumbing repair job with only one trip to the hardware store.
I took the rest of the day off to celebrate.

RE: Electric Bikes???
Great info on e-bike from actual users.
The poster who said to get your advice from a dedicated forum is not totally correct.
Thanks

Changing batteries with solar
I am updating my 2 6 volt batteries with 2 new of the same type/size etc.
I remember (fuzzy brain) having to cover the panels when I did the final hookup when installing the panels.
Do I need to take the same precautions when switching to my new batteries?

RE: Sad state of national parks and public lands.
cptqueeg, it is interesting that you should say "enjoy it before it goes up in smoke." When we were in Idaho a couple of years ago, that is exactly what the ranger said to us -- the bark beetle was spreading, and the forests were on borrowed time.
Someday the forests will recover, long after I am gone.
The mtn pine bark beetle which attacks mainly lodgepole pines is now no longer limited by elevation because winter temps have moderated (both low temps and the length of time at low temps) so it's attacking limber pine in the alpine zone which is now a threatened species.
There are many other bugs out there working away on all the other species of trees as well. Limited moisture puts stress on trees and they are no longer able to repel attacks from bugs. The dying and dead trees then are prime fuel for fires.
When I was on fire crews here in central Idaho way back before the turn of century we called the forests the asbestos forest. That is no longer the case as virtually the entire region has been burned over in the last 20 years.
While some foresters wanted to start cutting way back when timid managers and an others kept that from happening. It surely would have looked different than it was, but folks couldn't accept the inevitable. Things are never going to remain the same and I doubt the forest in Central Idaho will ever be anything like what it once was.
Did you see Yellowstone Forever closed up could not naked financially. Too bad!
