    Sad Event at Quartzsite (with a silver lining)

    That's interesting...didn't know they were now using a flammable refrigerant. Well, another upside it seems would be that there is no flame involved in the process, so if there ever is a leak it'll more likely vent and dilute before getting ignited. Downside though...and I don't know how you...

    Sad Event at Quartzsite (with a silver lining)

    yes, that of course is the primary concern. Lou, I'm certainly glad that yours was a short burn and caused no catastrophes! I've been running with the ARP controller since the rig was pretty much new (thanks to posts from Gary and others here) to hopefully reduce the potential of amonia...

    Sad Event at Quartzsite (with a silver lining)

    I never really considered the LP regulator ever being a problem in this way! Looking closer at that idea and info., I have a thought of something I might do. I have a couple of pieces of carbon felt floating around in my toolbox this stuff...

    Sad Event at Quartzsite (with a silver lining)

    I reckon he might be looking for evidence of a leak, and if it was from internal corrosion or external corrosion, or some other penetration and I too am curious. My fridge is getting a few years on it and has some visible corrosion that I'm starting to get concerned about. Because of...

    The longest you have been stuck in traffic?

    Not my longest trip, but almost certainly the longest I've been stuck not moving. Not really sure how long it was...at least 3 but maybe 4 hours I'd guess... was not long after getting the RV. Leaving Disney on an overpass getting onto I-4 Eastbound, roughly here 28.356685, -81.522089...

    St. Augustine Florida

    Hi. Thanks for the heads-up Rene. I've not been active lately. I live in the same county...but it's about a 40 minute drive...so I don't get there all that often and not totally up on all the latest places. We used to go it seemed all the time back when we used to get a lot more out of town...

    Roof repair

    I don't know the filon construction...but I'd look at rvroof.com for an alternative. I had mine sprayed, not because a membrane failure but another issue, the cost was inline with a new membrane roof. Several years later and I am still happy with it. Tough, adds insulation value (thermal and...

    Our New RV. ? About carseats...

    Wow, crazy to remember now that my youngest was still in a car seat when I bought our class C...not an infant type, but a forward facing one. What I always felt was the safest option was in the forward facing dinette bench but with the table down in Bed mode. My rig doesn't have latch...

    What do you miss from home?

    1) I think a decent place to sit is top of my list.... (to read, or browse the computer, or watch TV, etc... 2)Next is related .... a place to go in the morning. I'm an early riser and the family is not. I have to make my coffee in the kid's bedroom and then depending on the weather or...

    Off the beaten path stops?

    two places come to my mind off the top of my head, although with a little thought I'd probably come up with a fairly long list of great but unplanned places we stumbled into 1) Aztec Ruins National Monument... was a completely accidental discovery for us 2) was a little car museum on Rte 66.. I...

    Campsite vs parking lot - new here

    Most of our trips are 1 day of travel or less, but we have done quite a few nights in various parking lots too. I found on our trip out to the grand canyon when we were trying to push miles, that I could go maybe 3 nights in a row "boondocking" but by the 3rd night for sure I want a...

    To Drain or not to Drain...

    dutchman sport beat me to the answer..... the only thing I'll add....as food for thought.... in my rig, the outdoor shower is mounted close to and just lower than the water heater. I can drain the heater by opening the hot water on the shower and cracking open the T&P valve to vent the tank...
