I recently replaced the heating in my water heater (Suburban 6DWE). Everything has been really great! In fact we have not had to use the propane side of the water heater since we replaced the heating element. Today I have a strange issue. We camped this past weekend and when we got home I went...

I am expanding my library of purchased online media content. I have been trying to get a viable way to download and watch when offline. Such as when we are in the mountains and cellular data is non existent. I keep encountering that although I can download the content. the viewing app (amazon...

I'm thinking about whether or not to re-coat our 2002 Cougar fiver's roof. It is a EPDM rubber roof. It does have slice in it where the satellite dish is. I am at the very least going to remove the satellite dish as we no longer have satellite and repair the slice, as I sealed around the current...

Hi All, It appears our Duo Therm thermostat, pictured below, has failed. The furnace only kicks on when we run the unit all the way up to more than 85 degrees on the slider, I tried cleaning the slider by blowing some air in it and running it up and down several times. It is almost 20 years old...

NY Dutch, your setup is very intriguing, can you provide more detail on it?

Thanks docj, I am not worried about trying to get 1080p. I am actually ok with 480p. The TV is only capable of 720p max. I am really looking to have good quality signal without buffering interruption. The spinning wheel of death while trying to pickup a weather report is not acceptable.

We've recently cut the cord so to speak at home and are now fulltime streaming at home. This is fine for the home that has internet service such as Comcast. However, this will not work for us when we are on the road in our 5er. I'm thinking of adding a cellular booster and then using my...

Annndddd I am one lucky son of a gun. I drained the tank and all of the water and cleaning solution came out. At the end I heard the clunk of the pipe. I banged with my hand on the drain pipe. It didn't come out but I knew it was at the outlet and I turned on the flush water from the flusher...

So today I moved our fifth wheel to a new pad we developed on our property. We now have a full hookup and as such I wanted to clean off the sensors in the black tank. Since have owned it I have never been able to get them to read properly. I can dump the tank flush it abut as soon as I fill the...

I have a question about using the OTA adapter and my Wally with a Tailgater mounted on the roof of my rig. Since I decided to permanently mount the tailgater to the roof I knew I would have times where the line of sight would be obstructed. I think that in that case adding the Dish OTA adapter...

Thanks. I will check. Could it also be inside the controller itself?

Hi All, I am trying to trace down a problem with my P2 which has been working ok for the past 5 years. The controller displays at times PL which means power loss during braking. I have replaced the trailer power tail (long over due to a pullout earlier) and looked at all the wiring on the...

Happy Thanksgiving All, We're considering a trip though British Columbia next year that would end in Skagway AK. We would then take the Alaska Ferry system back to Bellingham, WA. Has anyone ever done this with a fifth wheel and what costs (approximate) did you have putting the tow vehicle &...

We're thinking of going to the speed week in Bonneville next year. Has anyone ever camped out on the salt? Do they even allow camping out on the salt? If anyone has, what was your experience and what did you do to protect your rig?

Has anyone ever had any issue with carrying extra propane tanks into Canada? With the addition of the propane fire pit, our propane use has gone up. So, with a two week trip to Banff coming up we are considering bringing extra tanks along. Probably two extra 15lb tanks. They would be secured in...
