    Water heater bypass

    Thanks to everyone, I will give everything another look anf see what I can do. Actually, the shower has equal flow to each side when I do have the valves turned in the right directions, just added this picture, to verify what I was thinking. Thanks all.

    Water heater bypass

    I de-winterized my motorhome, and have no pressure on the hot water side. I have not turned the heater on yet, because I am not sure the heater is full. I have tried the bypass turned every way I could figure, and have lost track which way is not bypassed. If I get it right, what other reason...

    camping near cades cove - gaitlinburg, TN - suggestions

    Townsend is really the peaceful side of the Smokies. You can tube all day with a shuttle, and if you need to get to Pigeon forge/Gatlinburg, it's no problem. It also puts you closer to Cades Cove, and 2 days a week (Sat and Tues or Wed) Cades Cove is open to bikes only until about 10-11 am. Look...

    Delivery date is Saturday.....Worried

    All of the videos you can see, will help, I watched many of the ones suggested, over and over. I had the same reservations when i picked up my 31 ft Southwind, with a 300 mile trip home. If you stay aware of what the rear end does as you turn, and take it easy and PAY ATTENTION, and watch when...

    My wife has the Nook Color, she likes it, but, Samsung has a Galaxy Tablet, that has a nook color app, operates on the same platform as nook, but it is also a gps,camera I think, and seems to be a really expandable device.

    A Scary Moment

    Being in Alabama, I can assure you, that drivers are bad, and cell use makes it worse. Cell use should be banned, but for some reason, there is a lobby against it. Go figure.

    When is your 'bed time' and when is your alarm clock going off in the morning?

    Bedtime is when my wife gets me up out of my chair, and says"Bedtime". I get up whenever , there are no alarm clocks. That would be too much like a work day.

    Woodalls does not deliver

    If it is a Post Office thing, good luck with that. I have written/emailed/called-in complaints, 5 times in the last 3 months about extremely poor, erratic, US Mail service. I have yet to hear from anyone about my problem. By the way, service has not improved. In regard to Woodalls, I have...

    Southwind Storm Blackwater/graywater tanks

    Thanks a lot guys, I have checked the stickers, and while it did have weights (GVW, etc.), no tank capacities. I was just wondering , because sometimes, sitting in the great outdoors, you wonder, "How long could I conceivable stay here, if I could get away with it".

    ceramic tile ?

    If you lay the tiles properly, with the correct amount of mud/adhesive under them, they shouldn't crack, as long as they are on a surface that does not "flex" a lot. What I mean is, just normal shaking of the road should not be a problem. Yes, maybe a  bone jarring ride will cause cracks, but...

    Outer Banks Camping--Kill Devil Hill

    We did Charleston to Kill Devil Hills a couple of summers back in a Jeep, not camping, and I could not find a good way to go. It's a pretty long haul, any way you try it, and it's sort of like no one ever thought someone might want to get from there(lower SC) to Kitty Hawk.  I relied mainly on...
