RE: Space Heater
We have had used a sunbeam fan forced heater for about 5 years, which was great, and had actual temperature settings. I was looking buy another this weekend since we now have the large Class A with 50amp, but they no longer make it.
I bought a ceramic heater, and it works no where near as good.
I personally like the one with numbered temperature settings so it is easier to adjust instead of just dots.

RE: Broken key, locked out of TT, no spare :(
We had that happen when we had a hybrid, but that was an easy solution.
My friend lock their self out of their TT or lost the keys or something. He dropped his 5 years old down through the roof vent.

RE: Campground Theft
KNOCK ON WOOD - we have never had anyone mess with anything in the 25 years that we have been camping. We have been fortunate to not lock and put everything up before leaving either. We may lock the door just depending on where we are.
We did have a friend has a Yeti cooler stolen. It had a Gamecock sticker on it. He saw one a few days later in the campground and questioned the owner. He was told a friend gave it to him. He told him about his being stolen, and that he put a mark in a unique spot and asked if he could look. He opened the lid, and sure enough, it was his. Still even had some of his beer in it!

RE: how do you keep sewer tank clear
Keep them clean? Not to use them.... to keep the debris free as possible, use LOTS and LOTS of water!

U-S-C, GO *****! Muschamp has a fresh new pair of spectacles. He can now see what's going on. We came to play again Georgia. I hope we can keep the momentum going for Florida at home!

RE: Sewage Follies
That is a strange smelly set up. I couldn't watch. I would be gagging!
As far as the honeywagon, we camp at Darlington, SC for the NASCAR race each labor day and have been doing it for 15+ years. The honeywagon comes around sucking out campers. We have also always been concerned about tanks collapsing from it. We were talking to a worker this year that owns the company that has been doing the area we camp in since we have been going. He said he has never seen or personally heard of a tank collapsing, and like he said, if it happened, word would have probably spread fast and they would have been run out of Darlington County for good.

RE: Blackstone Griddle
I have a 36" blackstone at home that we use at least 203 times per week, and a 84"sq Blue Rhino that we take camping and tailgating. Best grills I ever purchased!

RE: Best Self-Leveling Sealant For An Aluminum Roof?
We have a Fiberglass roof on our Class A, and just sealed all of our seams in May with Proflex RV Instant Roof Repair. That stuff isn't going anywhere for a while. Just painted on it with a paint brush. I recently checked, and still looks great 6 months later.

RE: Steps don't stay out/shade won't go all the way down
Following! We have the same issue with our steps. Currently, we crawl on the ground and unplug the wiring harness under the camper to keep the steps out when camping.

RE: Are my A/C's working correctly?
We have a 35ft class A with a 15k and 13.5k btu. Both can keep it 69* with no problem when it was close to 100 outside and humid during July. We do use reflectix material in the windows and added a thermal curtain behind the front curtain. But it cools without a problem.
Now it may take it all day into the night to get to that temperature when we first set up, but it maintains it once it gets there.
And I was told by our A/C guy that the A/C should cool the air 20* cooler than the return air, not the exterior air temperature.

2 6v batters VS 2 12v
I just replaced the house batteries in our Sea Breeze after getting 8 years out of them. It had to 6v in it. Just curious, why do some people run two 6 volts instead of parallel 12v?

RE: outdoor shower help
ill pull the head and check for smutz just seemed strange to be that it would go from fine to nothing not fine to low pressure.
sounds like something is clogging it. If that doesn't work, disconnect the house from the faucet and see if you are getting water from there also.

RE: outdoor shower help
Take your shower head hose off and make sure it isn't clogged with debris anywhere.

RE: replacement awning
We just replaced ours Saturday. We order the awning material for Dyers RV Online, only because that was the only place that we could find that provided vinyl replacements with the metal weather shield and had blue. I emailed several times with questions, and they always replied quick.
As far as replacing, we watched youtube video and had 4 people total with two ladders. We took our time and kept double checking instructions. Took us about an 2.5 hours to complete.

RE: Replacing Awning Fabric that has Alumiguard Cover - DIY
Good for you! With some help and like you said "taking our time" good to go. We get back to our RV lot in Yuma, AZ. for the winter, I have a new fabric to install. Was going to do it in the spring but all my help blew out of town to go north. I'll get them corralled in November.
FYI, make sure you pay attention to the direction that you unwind the springs torrision. That was our biggest issue. We put in on, flipped the lever to unroll, and it came flying down. We had the spring wound backwards. Then we changed them, and had to wound opposite so it done nothing. But we finally figured it out.
I also recommend getting some of the folding white tables to work on.

RE: Replacing Awning Fabric that has Alumiguard Cover - DIY
Finally got around to replacing the awning this morning. We decided to go with vinyl. Dyer rv made the vinyl to fit the metal weatherguard took about 2.5 hours with 4 people helping. We took our time and kept verifying the directions and watching the YouTube video. Thanks everyone for the advice and help.
