RE: Another "Yuk" thread, or OMG, or what are they thinking?
I hate dump sites.....nasty places
I have electric dump valves and just let them rip while driving back home.
Simple....
That’s just crazy! I would never do anything like that! How would you flush the black tank?!!!
Do like I do.. Hook the outside shower to the black tank flush and run the pump while you're heading down the road! Turn pump off when you stop for gas. All good.
Mike
There you GO!
There's always a solution.......

RE: BEST ROUTE WITH LEAST MOUNTAINS
My wife had the same issues so when we started running routes with drop-offs, she'd go back and sit at the dinette. Now she drives these routes with the 43' coach and full size pickup toad and doesn't turn a hair. Just a question of getting used to it, SLOWLY.
OP has a 5th wheel.
Sitting at the dinette table probably NOT going to resolve issue :B

RE: Suburban IW60 Nautilus Tankless Water Heater?
NONE that I am aware of....12VDC and Propane only

Annoying ---not at all
Todsys thieves are not just crack addicts ...they are very sophistacated so ANY means I can use to try and protect are worth the little annoyance.

RE: Suburban IW60 Nautilus Tankless Water Heater?
Seeing that the Suburban IW60 Nautilus operates on Propane ONLY you will ALWAYS be boondocking per se regardless of being at a FHU CG Site.
Consumes 15,000 btu at minimum flow of 0.5 gpm up to 60,000 btu at maximum flow of 1.5 gpm.
Suburban 10 gal uses 12,000 btu.
How often do you camp?
How much propane do you currently have?
How often do you fill propane now?
Just remeber ANY tankless W/O electric option will ALWAYS require propane even when FHU.

RE: Show type of RV on question page
The OP does have a point although not necessarily presented well. It would be nice if the reason for the post was a bit more informative about what they are asking. I’ve seen a lot of “Need help” or “what’s this” or “Best X for class a” when they only mean DP’s. I open a lot of meaningless to me posts.
That is due to OPs NOT putting much info in title.....
But if you scroll over the title it will show more of the post w/o even opening it

RE: Gas stove in fifth wheel
No shutoff valves on individual service lines to the appliances
IF propane to stove is LEAKING you will need to disconnect the propane line and cap/plug using a 3/8" gas fitting

RE: Dometic Fridge not working on electric, but does on propane?
Mine has two glass fuses on the fridge's circuit board. A 3 amp for the 12v stuff and a 5 amp for the 120v element.
However, first check that the fridge has 120v where you plug it into a receptacle. That receptacle might be dead from a popped circuit breaker or from being on a GFCI circuit where the GFCI has popped.
THIS^^^^
Start with the basics.
Do you have 120VAC at the Outlet fridge plugs into
YES...
Then remove cover on the lower circuit board and check the GLASS fuse
That is the AC circuit Fuse
Got AC at/thru fuse (check it with voltmeter not just visual)
YES.....
Then check for AC at the 2 terminals where the Electric Element Leads plug onto the circuit board
Then do a continuity check thru the leads of the element
Blown Glass Fuse...bad element
Good fuse...no AC at element lead terminals on circuit board...BAD board
AC at terminals...no continuity thru element leads.bad element

Yep.........50A portable PI unit
It is plugged in FIRST regardless....at CG, at home, at friends place etc.
I have NO control over what the Power Company does.

RE: Hot water tank not working on 110 VAC
Oke Biscuit comes through again. While I don't have the camper here to look, I distinctly remember feeling resistance on the left reset button when I pressed it, but the WH still didn't work on AC. Will do voltmeter/ohmeter test once I get back to the camper, but I'm sure Ole is right, the element is either shorted or open. thanks for all the advice, especially the pix.
The element is a big resistor that heats up. Resistors dont short they always burn open
And yet tests for burnet out element (NO continuity thru element) and testing for shorted element (Continuity between element and flange) are the 2 tests recommended for any water heater using an electric element.
RV or Residential.
Burnt out deals with the element
Shorted deals with the 'insulator' between element and flange
