RE: BATTERIESFOR HOUSE
I went with Universal™ AGMs because the only place for them was in front & beside of the radiator. Batteries that off-gas would destroy all my aluminum radiators. The factory picked a bad place for the house batteries but did use large gauge wire and relocating them would be painful.

RE: As requested, Red Max Pro instructions
No yellowing over the past 1 1/2 yrs. I did get some flaking due to some window cleaner that had ammonia in it. Simple fix-strip area with ammonia & re-apply RMP.

RE: Off pavement in a Class A?
I believe there is a huge difference between a air ride DP and a Ford truck based front motor/radiator on dirt/off road travel. My ground clearance is quit suitable for most off highway excursions and my air filter lasts a long time.
So class A is just too generic.

RE: install rv power awning on home?
I have a good friend I talked into a Sunsetter and it is considerably more robust than an RV awning. It's not hard to crank it in-&-out.

RE: Digital Multimeters- An RVer's Best Friend
I have that meter. It is every bit as good as my Fluke plus it has 2 ranges of DC amps. This is what every RV owner needs who wants to know what their 12V system is doing.
The most useful meter I've found is a clamp-on style ammeter. With a clamp-on meter you don't have to break a circuit to measure current. Most clamp-on meters will only measure AC current so you will have to spend a bit more for one capable of measuring DC. I spent $80 for the one I have. Sears sells a meter for about $60 that looks appealing.

RE: Misleading avertising/ignorant sales people
Heheh, my 'little' 18k coach has a 10,000# hitch on it (per the label) and a small car would be about right.

RE: Dental Professional Question - Sonicare
I've used both the Oral B and a Waterpic for years and my dentist attributes my lack of cavities, healthy gums and less frequent need for cleaning to their use.

RE: Point and shoot camera recommendation.
I have one of these and it takes good macro pics. Zoom is not bad for old tech but for $20 + a memory card what can you lose? Uses only rechargable AA and a compact flash card.

RE: Replacing slide valve gaskets
'O' rings are not rubber and Vaseline will not hurt them.
Whaatt?? O-rings are not rubber?? Ooops, someone must've forgot to tell me. I've been designing O-rings and other seals (for Hydraulics and Pneumatics applications) for 30 years now. O-rings ARE in fact RUBBER. Unless they are of a special rubber compound used for special applications (i.e. EPDM rubber) Vaseline will not hurt them.
Sorry-wasn't thinking that Buna N 'O' rings were rubber. What I tried to convey was Buna N (most 'O' rings)is OK with petroleum products.

RE: 12-Volt LED Night Light
I use a mini LED in a license plate fixture-add a switch (if needed) and it's just enough to navigate by.

RE: Tiffin- tankless WH runs with toilet.........
Sure does feel good on a cold morning. Years ago, I was plumbing a house for a owner/builder in Vermont, and he requested a hot water line to his toilet.
