RE: Replace fridge with different model?
The dimensions in the chart shows why it isn't exact fit. Would have to modify opening.
Yes, I would shim it and bolt it best I could, question is aside from the dimensions, would there be any reason it wouldn't work?

RE: Replace fridge with different model?
For a 1/3 of the price, you can replace just the cooling unit.

No, that's more expensive than the one I'm eyeing.

Replace fridge with different model?
Our older RV (2005 Fleetwood 25QB) fridge (Dometic RM2652) died, and I'm wondering if there's any issues replacing it with an RM2620? It is not listed as a replacement model in this chart but as far as I can see the only difference is it's slightly smaller, and I could just shim and bolt it into place as securely as possible.

RE: Extend-a-Stay clogging tanks?
Oops, I definitely should have mentioned the big RV has emergency leak-stopping valves... sorry, didn't occur to me when posting. That might? have been the cause all along, together with fast opening the valves. Very relevant to this problem and is the most likely cause.
I had to change the hose anyway, it was leaking. I've not yet had a chance to test the old "failed" tanks but will try to remember to update this thread when I do.
Going to crack open the valves slowwwwwwwwwwwly from now on.

RE: Extend-a-Stay clogging tanks?
It sounds like you are opening the tank valve too quickly. That can result in no flow if the emergency shutdown is activated by a high initial flow.
While I was topping off the tanks today, an old timer overheard my question and he said exactly the same thing. I’m gonna try the old “failed” tanks again with a slower open. Thanks.

RE: Extend-a-Stay clogging tanks?
I can’t figure out how it could be the hose if it often works fine. Working today in fact. More often works than not. And no kinks in the hose at all.

Extend-a-Stay clogging tanks?
Bought an Extend-a-Stay knock-off because we're full-time parked. Turned off the valve for the onboard tank. Been here a year, everything is going good, then all of the sudden one of the 20lb tanks won't work. Put it on our other RV, it's fine. Figured it was a bad tank, drew an X on it to remember to exchange it when it's empty.
Then it happened again.
And again and again.
Six times.
Not every time though. Currently have on a tank that's working just fine. In between the six times it happened, several tanks could be counted on to work just fine. (We have 13 total.)
What might I look at to troubleshoot this? Is it possible to stick a wire in the tanks to unstick them or is that a bad idea? Again, they work on the second RV.
