RE: Winterizing black and gray tanks
I usually add one gallon of pink stuff to each tank after all of the other winterizing tasks are completed. It doesn't cost much and is cheap insurance. Valves closed of course.
RE: My water heater drain plug is metal, is that a problem?
Might want to consider replacing the anode rod yearly with threads wrapped with teflon tape even tho the rod itself has plenty of life in it if it truly is rusting.
RE: Replacement Water Pump
Be careful to not get too high a flow pump. The reason is since most demands are small, even showering, the pump can come on, quickly satisfy the pressure requirement, shut off then have to come on again, etc.
RE: Fresh water tank drain.
Don't know where the drain is on your rig but it should be right under the tank. Calls for someone to crawl under the rig and look up.
I vote for an empty FW tank. The pink stuff may be hard do totally get rid of next Spring.
RE: Smaller Trailer - King Bed?
We have twin beds in our 27 foot TT which is the same square feet of mattress space as a king but better because movement is not transmitted to the other sleeper.
RE: cleaning 7-pin receiver connector on truck
In the old days I used to drill out the female connectors to get rid of corrosion. Also try spraying Corrosion X into the male connectors.
RE: Having Difficulty Finding Replacement Roof Vent Covers
Any chance Jayco could identify them using the VIN?
Once replaced I would recommend Maxxair or other covers over the covers. Keeps the sun off and allows the small covers to be open in the rain and/or underway.
I just checked a very old RV parts catalog and found Vent Mate lids that look a lot like yours. Try Ventmate-products.com
RE: Snow Birding
If possible it might be a good idea to stay one month at each of several places before committing to several months at one place. Emphasis on the `if possible'.
RE: New to RVs.....A Few Newbie Questions
You can spend some valuable time searching this Forum for various topics one of which might be the make/model of the RV you are considering. Someone has probably already purchased it and spent some time in it so you can get experience and not even have to leave your house.
RE: RV roof vent cover
Were the covers open while driving? If so, they can vibrate from the wind pressure and disappear. Either keep them closed or install Maxxair covers. I'm surprised you never installed them heretofore.
