RE: Telamarketer
We have a landline as main phone number
Our Phone company has a greeting that states
"This number does not accept solicitations, please hang up. To connect press 1"
Our phone does not ring unless the 1 has been pressed
Scam/robo calls have decreased to almost Zero
Cell Phones.....yeah we have 2 of them
Both are flip phones...not smart phones cause we only use them when we leave.
They do not work very well when at home due to location of our house and tower line of sight
We get a couple of 'stupid' calls every week or so....but only find out about them when we go somewhere and turn them ON
Phones are NOT big priorities nor is being 'connected'

RE: Water valve directional?
That is a standard 3-way valve
Valve handle indicates direction of flow
In-line like in the photo
*water comes from fresh water tank and then goes to pump suction inlet
Turn 90* ---handle towards anti-freeze line
*Pump will suck anti-freeze and discharge it into RV Plumbing system

RE: After market exhaust brake reliability and effectiveness
2008 I had a US Gear D'Celerator electric actuated 4" exhaust brake installed on my 2007 Dodge 3500 5.9L CTD
Small PC Control Box with an on/off switch
HD Solenoid closes the 4" Butterfly....2" bypass butterfly modulates/controls back pressure at 59# MAX
Has been flawless since.....
BEST mod I have done to the truck!

RE: Attaching items to interior walls without drilling
Command Strips hands down!
Hung lots of different size pictures..small to large/light to heavy in our 5th wheel in 2007.
Traveled all over the USA...and not only are they still hanging. NONE ever fell off the wall
Clean the wall---prep is the key

RE: Shark Bite on older pex
YES...mid-late 1990s PEX started being used in RVs
PEX A is Rigid and PEX B is mor flexible
PEX A is most common
Cut the PEX Square/no burrs and Sharkbite (Home Depot) GatorBite (Lowes) fittings are great to use
Another product that is good to use are Flair-It fittings

RE: Converter/ Furnace Issue
Furnace is high DC draw....converter is trying to maintain battery charge AND provide the DC System
Have you checked the batteries.........water level, cables
Have you checked the DC Fuse Panel Converter cable connections, battery connections on that fuse panel
Noise is probably coming from converter cooling fan.....demand goes up/heats/dirty--worn fan motor---noise.
Demand goes down/cools off

RE: Water Heater Question
I only have two valves, one on blue one on red. I would post a picture if I could figure out how!
IS there a Line that connects blue to red?
Are the 2 valves at the connection where that line is?
Something like this?

Handles 'in-line' with Blue & Red----Normal operation

RE: Stimulus Late in Arriving
SS people who do NOT file taxes but have automatic deposits are receiving their stimulus #3 with a payment date of April 7th. Ours is already showing as pending in our account. If you file taxes, you should already have received it.
Maybe for you but NOT everyone
SHE has SS Direct Depsoit....for years
1st/2nd Stimulus as Direct Deposit for her
This one...check is in the mail Apr 2
There IS no standard when it comes to the IRS/Treasury

RE: Water Heater Question
So I took the panel off and indeed the valves are there. They appear to be open as the handles are parallel to the pipes. It is a suburban water heater.
What would be a situation that I would want to bypass the water heater?
Winterizing....no need to pump gallons of rv Anti-freeze into WH Tank when you can just Bypass it and drain it
If water heater fails/tank leaks etc then you can Bypass it and still have water in the RV
How many valves do you have on WH Tank?
Bypass valve handle should be 'across' the line between cold & hot lines
Cold valve handle should be 'in-line' with the cold inlet water line
Hot valve handle should be 'in-line' with hot outlet water line
****IF you have a Hot outlet valve.....many times no shutoff valve but just a check valve inside the nipple on WH Tank
Operate the Cold Inlet and make sure it is OPEN
Operate the Bypass and make sure it is CLOSED
Operate the Hot Outlet and make sure it is OPEN
*IF you have 3 valve system
Cold Open/Bypass Closed/Hot Open......turn water on---open kitchen faucet cold side/bleed air then open hotside and bleed air (hot takes longer cause you are filling WH tank)
This is a 2 way system

This is a 3 way system (in Bypass)
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bzyDhEmLZDY/UKaR3-nfuYI/AAAAAAAAAAw/GEf4TtGSBt4/s1600/Website+pics+005.jpg height=400 width=400
The 2 examples above are just some of the valving arrangements used
there are:
*One 3-way valve (cold inlet/bypass) with check valve in hot
*Two 3-way valves (cold inlet/bypass) and (hot outlet/bypass)
