>:(  Is there possibly a better dometic toilet flush valve available?  Mine froze over the winter so I replaced it in March. I had to replace it so the wife could be in the trailer in the backyard with the dogs because I was changing the front windows in our house.       Anyway, I got a...

All valid points. I know my friend only has to run his little window ac unit in his teardrop trailer for 5 minutes and the space inside his is like a meat locker. But I would rather have to run a generator and be able to stand up in my trailer than having to crawl into his. For him I know the...

Hello, I haven't been on here in quite a while. We just purchased a new 2017 Sundance 22 ft travel trailer. We are exploring the solar options. Has anyone sucessfully ran their A/C unit on an inverter with solar panels and batteries?  My friend is building his own teardrop trailer and he put a...

Good news, I emailed the company who made it and they said to check to see if there was a spider web inside the burner tube causing back pressure. I ran a piece of wire up into it but got nothing out of it so I blew it out with an air compressor, and a lot of dust came out of it. I put it all...

I purchased a little red propane campfire a couple years ago. I have only used it a few times as it always seems to catch fire at the 8 foot hose connection at the bottom of the campfire. Has anyone else had this problem? it has a brass elbow and a brass coupling with 2 holes in it. This seems...

I finally got mine working on both electric and gas. It turned out that with a tester I determined that the little rocker switch outside was not shutting off the power to the electric element. It took some thinking but I finally realized that when the switch had gone bad someone reversed the...

It is a suburban 6 gallon. I picked up a new element today and I will be heading back down to the beach tomorrow to try and get it installed. (my rv is at the beach in a campground right now). It looks like the replacement element is about 6 inches long and it takes an 1 1/2 inch socket. I dont...

The board I got was used at $75.00 at an Oregon coast RV repair shop. I felt it was decent at the time since there are not a lot of places at the beach in our area. The board that he gave me was smaller than the one that came out of it but so far it seems to fire right up since I replaced it. So...

Thanks, I actually got it working on the gas side. I went inside the cabinet under the water heater and took out the board. I took it to a local rv repair and parts place and they tested it and said it was not working (sparking) properly. The guy sold me a used board and I barely got it mounted...

My suburban 6 gallon water heater is doing the clicking of the solanoids on the gas valve but only a couple times and then it wont try again. I replaced the little rocker switch but it still does not work. It doesnt seem to work on electric either. I am wondering if anyone happens to know which...

I will look for those valves. I am assuming they will be located under the cabinets inside the trailer. I will have to locate them and see if they are not quite tight. Thanks,

What about the fresh water tank? I will be using my 5th wheel during the winter when I go hunting. I know it will be freezing weather. I also know that my fresh water tank is not in line with the heat ducts to go over it. It is more protected than the other tanks in my trailer as it is under the...

We are new to having an rv and when we have used our trailer on the 3 times that we have since we owned it I noticed water leaking out of a tube that comes out of the bottom of the trailer under the hot water tank. It only seems to happen when the system is under pressure of a water hook up. Is...

I just installed my firestone air bags. I have been experiencing the bouncing and I have posted here and on the tundra forum for toyota tundras. I have an 07 tundra 4x4 4door truck. It is rated as a half ton. It only has the 4.7 liter motor but power hasnt been the problem it has been the...

My wife asked would they tow the trailer to the nearest campground and they said they would. Lions6
