RE: I need help removing my broken water heater drain plug
I had one break off on my previous coach. I used a pocket knife to lift up an edge, then needle nose pliers to twist it out.

RE: Power issues 2018 AmericanCoach MidwestPatriot
As a temp measure I would try running the engine to recharge the house battery when it got low.
My inverter/charger with remote panel allows me to put charger into standby mode, not sure about yours.

RE: Slideout Help
Not sure how your slides seals are contructed,on mine the top and bottom seals are wiper seals. They do not flip when the slide moves in or out. The side seals do flip when slide moves. I notice that cleaning both sides of the side seals, and spraying them with dry silicon spray helps a lot. Also keeping the slide side walls waxed will help in letting the side seals flip.

RE: Diesel Engine Owners- I've a DUSTED engine, so cummins says
I feel your pain. Trying to get an honest and correct evaluation is very diffult.
In summer 2015 while in CO, I began getting check engine code, crankcase over pressure. Only happened going downhill. Freightliner said change the crankcase filter. Drove back to New Orleans, no issues. Replaced filter Jan 2016. Drove to Mexico Feb 2017, CA and back to New Orleans, no issues.
In summer 2018 drove to SC for service at FOCC service center, began getting codes again. After service they said to go to Cummins in Spartanberg.
This is where it gets interesting. They spent a day with the engine and said they THOUGHT it was due to broken rings. They would remove/inspect/replace engine for $9K. If nothing was found to be broken extended warranty would not cover cost. My engine was not rebuildabe. New engine was $18k, 30 days to build.
We were on our way to KY to start work at Amazon. We drove to KY and sat till I was done working Dec 19. Drove back to New Orleans. As long as I kept RPMs below 2100 no problems.
Took coach in to NO Cummins, they sent me a pic of the turbo and said it was dusted. Of course warranty would not cover. They did not have the facilities to drop engine, so referred me to S&H Auto/Truck service in Hammond, LA.
Gave it to them and said fix, either I was going to pay or estended warranty was going to pay. Either way it had to be fixed.
Bottom line, all top rings were broken. New engine not available. They got a long block from Jasper. New injectors, injector pump and turbo, all else transferred from my engine.
Total cost $37+K, I paid $3.5K. My extended warrany expired in Mar 2019. Was a hard road, but they paid.
Good luck.

RE: What are you using for external water filtration?
I run off my tanks exclusivly. A 10 Micron sediment filter, then a 5 micron sediment filter, then a 5 micron carbon filter, then a 100 gallon/day RO membrane.
In New Orleans I have 300 + PPM TDS in, 12 PPM out.

RE: Moderna vaccine (Personal experiences)
I (74) received my second Maderna shot this past Mon. Other than a sore shoulder and being more tired than normal on Tues, no problem. Sharon (72) got her second Pfizer shot last Thur, day after her cataract surgery. No issues at all. I hear Maderna is working on a booster, waiting to hear more on that.

RE: It's a wonderful day: COVID vaccinations
Here on the westbank outside of New Orleans we received an email from the hospital where we get most of our medical care when in town. Said we were eligible and a phone number to call. Was surprised they picked right up when I called, and we are both going to receive our shots together, first one next week, second one 21 days later.
We will see how smooth the process goes.

RE: Propane Problem
I have found that I need to open the valve on the 20# tank slowly when it is hooked up to my extend a stay on the coach. Especially if the lines in the coach have become empty.
