RE: Heater and refrigerator will not light
Either out of propane or, need to switch to other tank if so equip. Or, need to turn propane on. Or, need more info on setup.
How many tanks you have?
Is the water heater DSI? And the other appliances?
Does the water heater lights, or is running on electric because the water is warm/hot?
That's a start...

RE: Does the problems ever stop???
We have had our motorhome for 5 months. So far everytime we go camping we have some kind of problems with it. The MH has already been in the shop 4 times for a total of 3 months.
We have been camping now for a week went out to dump the black tank that happens to be full.......guess what. It will not drain... the gray drains great. So does the problems ever stop??? Or do they evey stop??
Thanks

RE: How do you rid vechicle of Cigarette Smoke?
A couple of thawed out fish in the back for several weeks will take your mind off of the smoke smell definitely...
REALLY!
O.k., as an maintenance personel, we use ozone machine in the motel/hotel rooms, when they are not suppose to smoke in them.
Then, we use purfume fogger with the room hvac on for a day to get into the cracks, etc...

RE: 12volt vs 120 appliances
Don't forget that you can use an inverter to run those 120 volts appliances. Providing you have an 12 volts setup in unit.

RE: AC kills generator
2.8 eh? How about getting an hard start kit for the a/c? It's basiscally an capacitor to help provide the extra juice you need to get compressor going. Unless there's something else wrong with genny... It's also sometimes called an soft start kit too.

RE: Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!
Quote: "I don't think destroying native habitats is the answer. Congress has nothing to do with building oil refineries."
Give me a break!! I lived and worked in Alaska and had a chance to work at Prudhoe as well. There is no destruction there from the last oil field work, why would you expect it now? The ANWR site would use 2000 acres in a state that encomapasses 19,000,000 acres!! You would not even see it. And there are no tourists going there to see it either. When the first pipeline was built, the line equated to stretching a 18 Ga. thread across a room that was about 18 feet square. It was barely noticeable.
Congress has a lot to do with building refineries. If they don't allow permits, refineries don't get built. They have been denying permits since Clinton vetoed the ANWR bill and long before. They also required too many "hoops" to go thru to meet EPA and other regulatory requirements that never existed before the 70's.
Unless you KNOW facts don't say how bad the environment would be hurt. It wouldn't be! The Gulf isn't even after Katrina and Rite struck. Technology has come a lone way since the 60's and 70's. It is time the myths were debunked and common sense and reason determines how we build and allow our country to prosper. NOT thru fear and scare tactics.

Hey sirdrakejr! Were you able to meet the famous Lindsey Williams that had that video out about having enough oil up there to last centuries...? That nobody will pump out. And gas will get high as it is now...

RE: Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!
I can't run video because of my phone lines...
They don't say what it really is. However, the explanation (hydrogen from the water converted into electrons to power the car) give the impression that it is a fuel cell. If they have advanced fuel cell technology far enough it is certainly possible to power an electric car with one.
You said it perfectly!

RE: Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!
LostMarbles:
I can't run video because of my phone lines, so let me ask a couple questions about hydrogen. I have heard it takes nearly as much energy to make hydrogen from water as you get out of it? Since we'd have to built more nuclear energy plants anyway, why not just run plug-in cars - and we wouldn't have to build the extensive service staton infrastucture? Does hydrogen have any advantage over plug-in? Isn't it highly explosive and dangerous to handle?
I'm excited about the new plug-in Chevrolet that's coming on the market in a year or so. They say it uses new, lighter-weight battery technology and will run 60 miles on a charge - not bad looking either. Sort of a small suv. I'd like to see some data on the operating cost at current electric rates - and the charging time required. I envision hi-speed, self serve charging stations outside convenience stores. I think the whole key here is battery technology. They'd have to be lighter weight, store more power and capable of taking a fast charge.
They'd be a lot simpler too - an electric motor and a gear box. We'd be able to work on our own cars again!
Jack
I definitely agree about having a electric car. Yes and no on the hydrogen being dangerous. In large quantity like in storage tank of hydrogen gas, YES! In producing just enough to supplement the gasoline in cars right now as in "hydrogen on demand", NO. Here another video below of the surge technology for electric car. There is just too many hobbyist out there now on these emerging techs, (some are old killed off techs) for the MIB to kill off. If that was what they were doing. Thanks to the informational age.

RE: Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!
Don't look now, but the Japanese just showed off the water car. (See link below). They are coming after our market again, since our PEOPLE here are slow getting the hydrogen type out here. It must be the oil PEOPLE again. Now, I'm wondering how they are going to tax us when driving these water based energy cars in a few years.... It's coming! One way or another.
Link below after commercial, if any.
