RE: Extended stay propane use
The oem frame tank is empty, thr RV isn't going any where until i can pull together the $$ for the transmission repairs, $60 extend a stay
$18 for this one, yes it could have been connected to the main tank, then i would need another $20+ hose between the adapter T and portable cylinder, and i would still lose line pressure, when refilling the portable because the main is empty,
Is it slightly less convenient. Maybe , but I'm stretching my $$ as far as i can, this is about keeping the fridge cold and me warm, the least costly ways possible, not about bbq or line loss ehich is a very small volume, and in a pinch i can even connect a 1# cylinder while getting the 20# portable refilled

RE: Is there a back flow valve on the hot water outlet
The check valve will be in the hot water output line at the back of the water heater,
In my case it was almost impossible to get at, because of the way the water heater was installed, ( outside below the basement ,inside its own welded box, which i had to cut open, working under the rv with my angle grinder)

RE: Extended stay propane use
I don't see POL threads where the regulator is on My Bounder,
Is this my vision , or my perception and logic,
It seems i am not making myself clear in stating this,

RE: Extended stay propane use
I already have a propane adapter hose, that is acme fitting on one end and quick connect fitting on the other end, came with my Champion dual fuel generator,
Will that hose and this Tee adapter, https://www.amazon.com/Dumble-Propane-Brass-Tee-Connection/dp/B08SCJTDMH/ref=pb_pd_lutyp_m_ci_mcx_mr_typ_d_sccl_6/136-7601369-5251620?pd_rd_w=RYpnA&content-id=amzn1.sym.0597a2ec-6095-4972-9239-2db74d91f8d1&pf_rd_p=0597a2ec-6095-4972-9239-2db74d91f8d1&pf_rd_r=PGG89F3QCVVWAK6SMYEP&pd_rd_wg=Am6ei&pd_rd_r=5a8a3088-3204-4bff-ac34-28fff298548c&pd_rd_i=B08SCJTDMH&psc=1,
Do the same thing,
Connect the portable tank to the rv system

RE: Extended stay propane use
I understand how it is supposed to connect,
Look at my picture, the fitting's between the regulator and the valve, do not look like POL fittings yo me, i see what looks like 3/8 pipe fittings on each end of my Factory setup,
If you see something i don't, then please elaborate

Extended stay propane use
https://i.imgur.com/duf9fQyl.jpg
I find myself in need of extended location not moving the Bounder, looking online at various extended use propane options, and they don't seem to match up with my 1997 propane connections, even the tried & true "extend A stay" kit doesn't look correct for connections on my tank and regulator hookup,
Need info, suggestions, links, options, want to connect (1) 20# bottle to the Bounder, it has the new QCC type connection ( I Think ),
But thats not the main concern, the main concern is adapter TEE , between the vapor valve and regulator on my tank, the stuff I'm seeing doesn't match the plumbing on my 97 Bounder, to place it online

RE: Automatic Transfer Switch problem
You have a 30amp rv,
But what is the wattage rating of the generator, make and model # would be helpful, if its over 4000w, and built in, it has (2) circuit breakers on the generator and is wired to the second lesser rsted 20 smp breaker, you are bypassing that breaker snd powering everything from the breaker meant for just the appliances and outlets
Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't tripped,you should manually reset both breakers that are on the generator, posting make model and year of the RV might help, someone will know if there is switch you missed, hidden in a closet, or under a cabinet, maybe in the bedroom,
I once had a Komfort Brand motorhome with a switch in the bedroom Closet to change the a/c from shore power to generator power

RE: Slideout stuck in half way position
My thanks too all
The situation has been resolved,
The slide is apparently wired to the engine/chassis battery (although the key does NOT have to be in the On position) Getting a full charge on that battery has allowed it to work normal and be pulled in, it's now weather safe , for the coming rain tonight
Extreme heat muddled brain, i inadvertently drained the battery while checking my fuel system (which i am working on,) by leaving the key on

RE: ATT and Galaxy Hot Spot issue
I use the hotspot all the time and have unlimited.You get unlimited using the hotspot? That's usually regulated.
Many plans on many carriers offer unlimited hotspot, my visible plan $25 party pay is unlimited, I'm just not using it

RE: Changes to Visible Cell Plan
I have visible, no emails from them, the article i read about the change, was new plans, for new customers with more speed, existing customers stay as is unless they choose to upgrade, i hardly use the hotspot feature because i also have the T-Mobile home internet for my video streaming, visible is almost entirely dedicated to my on phone use and contingency backup and I no longer have the att Mobley account, although i still have the It and the att hotspot router that replaced it that has the Mobley sim card in it, now deactivated closed account

Slideout stuck in half way position
1997 Bounder 36S
Because of extended extreme heat, a few days back i decided to bring in the slide and reduce the space to be cooled,
But it didnt come all the way in,
its now half way in/out, so now its not weather sealed or bug sealed, the blood suckers have been eating me alive, and we have major rain approaching from hurricane Kay, its hydraulic, when i push the switch for in or out i hear the pump whine but the slide doesn't move, doesnt even "thunk" like hydraulic ram piston & linkage usually does when working,
Maybe the Heat has addled my brain cells, but i havent found the fix for the problem, im guessing that hyd solenoids arent being activated, the slide system and leveling system are separate , i need to get it in so the rv will be rain tight, i don't need or want the high wind driven rain pouring in,
The freaking 2 week triple digit extreme heat interrupted my fuel line replace/repair so i am unable to start the engine, but have two battery chargers, and have always had enough power to easily operate the slide,
What am i missing where do i need to look, can i pull it in with a come along or ratchet strap, push it out some how,
I have a 6 ton hyd body ram/tool/jack
I prefer having it come IN
But OUT is better than stuck half way, i use the word stuck, but its not physically bound as far as i can tell, its not twisted and has clearance on both sides and top , its not stuck in the opening and its not gear driven, its hasn't been leaking hyd fluid,
Control for the solenoids or the pump blowing an internal seal are the only things i can postulate as possible problems, but my thinking might be muddled

RE: Great video about generators, ground rods, bonding, etc.
Do not bond neutral to frame on a portable generator,
Yes use a bonding plug if you have too because of your ems, but physically permanently bonding frame to neutral , makes the generator frame and most likely your rv chassis part of the neutral side of the generator output circuit and creates a shock hazard, portable generators are mostly wired as floating grd unbounded for good saftey reasons
