RE: ac problems
With a clean filter and evap. coil it should not freeze up at either fan setting when the thermostat is at a reasonable setting. Low fan will do a better job of removing humidity which is a big factor in the southern states. The lower the humidity the warmer it can be and you still feel comfortable. If you try to cool to 65 you will likely have problems reguardless of fan speed.

RE: Hot water heater kicks off and pilot light goes out
It sounds like your pilot is being snuffed when the burner shuts off. This is usually caused by incorrect LP gas pressure or pilot flame adjustment. Your pop off valve should not drip. Try opening and closing it a couple of times and if it continues to drip it needs to be replaced.

RE: Question (again) from the road
It appears to be one that will automatically switch and will show red when the tank the handle points to is empty. You will then flip the handle to the other tank so it reads that one. Your manual should explain the operation. If you don't have a manual you can check it this way: with both tanks at least partially full, open both tank valves and the indicator will show green. Now close the valve on the tank the handle is pointing to and turn on your stove. The indicator should move to red and you should begin drawing from the other tank. When you move the handle toward the open tank it should again show green.

RE: Batteries: Marine/RV or Marine?
It all depends on how you use your rig. If you always use it where there is shore power available any battery will do. If you do any dry camping you should get at least a group 27 deep cycle or even better a pair of 6v "golf cart" batteries. The amp hour rating is what you want to look at - the more the better.

RE: water heater
The only time you need to drain the water heater is when winterizing.

RE: Average Fuel Mileage
Your milage should be about the same. Frontal area and shape are a bigger factor than weight.

RE: fridge
#1. Check for 120v ac as others have said. #2. If you have 120V check for 120v at the heat element. If power there - bad element. No power - bad board.

RE: New TT battery box full of water
Take some caulking and seal the holes on the top of the box. If you are in a rainy area and have a battery that does not have a raised lip on the fill holes you can get enough rain thru the box top vent holes to over fill the battery.

RE: fuel economy
The big factors are that big flat front and speed. Case in point - I have both a TT and a large boat on a trailer. The boat is about 1000# heavier then the TT; but I get better MPG.

RE: Advantages of a manual transmission
Unfortunately this discussion is getting to be a mote point as time goes on. For those of us that prefer manual transmissions; it is getting harder all the time to be able to get them on tow vehicles.

RE: Propane Pressure Question
Try opening the valve on the tank slowley. If it has a long line to the switchover valve the excess flow valve used on the newer tanks may be tripping.

RE: 30 Amp Power Cords - RV versus Marine?
Check the connectors on the end of the cord. A RV cord will have a Twist Loc connector on one end and a RV plug on the other. A marine cord will have a Twist Loc on each end. They must be running a special as I have never seen anything marine cheaper than RV.

RE: Best way from Galvenston to Beaumont
That's the shortest route and the roads are good. Generally the wait for the ferry is not long. If you are planning to continue east on I-10 beyond Beaumont; you may want to take 73 at Winnie and go thru Port Arthur to Orange. There was a report recently on this forum of bad construction dalays between Beaumont & Vidor.

RE: Storing 26" trailer in Seattle area for 4-5 days.
I have done as danoren stated in the past. In fact for that short a period rent a site as you normally would and just let the campground know you will be gone a few days. That way you can have power for the fridge and not have the hastle of moving it to a storage area.

RE: Mobile Bypass
Use I-10 thru the tunnel. It is the quickest and easiest route thru Mobile.

RE: LA 90 from Lafayette to New Orleans
A good choice. You can drop down on country roads thru Loreauville and Oliver and come out on US90 east of New Iberia or St. Martinville and New Iberia and pick up US90 there. From there to New Orleans it is mostly 4 lane and controlled access highway.
