RE: 2024 GMC and 2023 Super Duty

Yes Fish, he had a trans on the floor. Worked fine!. But had an oil leak in gasket. Took in to fix before warranty went out. Mechanically, worked fine. Both of you are stretching the truth some. IMHO, both of you are also false in comment. Get over it.

RE: Extinction of Fossil Fuels

Non-issue. It'll take a loooong time for this particular sky to fall.

RE: $519 3800w generator available on woot for a few more hours

I've had great experiences with Woot, even after Amazon bought them. I don't think I've ever bought something that expensive though.

RE: Snoozy Resurrection

If I was doing a rather small trailer, I would seriously look at one of those. Be aware that they're pure electric, no propane. Gonna need a generator or lots of solar/batteries.

RE: How to stay warm in cold weather.

My son has been living in our smallish trailer (24ft) in our back yard for a few months now. I winterized it to safeguard the plumbing. A cube heater keeps that entire trailer roasty toasty. We've had temps down in the single digits and have pretty much been below freezing for over a month now. He has yet to turn the heater on higher than the halfway point. Interestingly, no humidity issues at all.

Mini-split: How to install the interior piece

It's a lighter duty trailer. I'm interested in hanging the interior portion where the bedroom TV would be in a front bed arrangement. I would guess it's a little heavier than a TV, but would be secured directly to the wall vs. on an arm like a TV. It's an outside wall, and I have no idea how the manufacturers strengthen the TV locations. The trailer has aluminum framing. All my old trailers were wood framed. What's the difference as far as hanging a significant weight on the wall?

RE: Goodnight Irene, the party's over.

I'm in the market for a new trailer, but will be sure to check the mfg date among other things. Build quality is in the toilet. Hopefully these latest units will be a little better.

RE: Imagine 22 mle or Cougar 22 mls

That king sized bed and lack of bedroom storage was a turn off for me.
The queen bed in the Imagine is full sized, and there's lots of drawers around it.
Not sure I like the windshield feature in the Cougar. Otherwise it's probably appointed a little nicer.
I don't think you have a choice of fridge in the Imagine. You might in the Cougar. But doesn't Keystone offer some pretty big solar/battery packages now?

RE: Removal of Refrigerator Roof Vent

It sure comes in handy for routing solar panel/wifi/network cables into the RV. I think it would be a lot more trouble to remove it than seal around it. JMHO

RE: Can you mount solar above vents?

This was really just an academic question. I installed a couple panels on my current trailer, making sure to avoid everything else up there. That was over 15 years ago, and it's all still going well.
I'm in the process of planning my next (and likely last) RV. Optimizing solar will be high on the list.

Is there any reason not to mount solar panels above attic or tank vents?

We're not the same person. Or are we? :W
Lots of good info here though. I appreciate all the input, and I think I've got it figured out.

RE: Replace instant hot with standard water heater?

Sounds like searching for something to worry about that hasn't happened yet, can easily be avoided or just dealt with.I'm definitely worried about it. Hopefully it's gonna happen soon. I'm dealing with it here and now.

Macerator question

I'm having to use my travel trailer into the fall and winter while it's tucked in my backyard. I have a cleanout about 50 or 60 feet away.
I've always been curious about a macerator kit. When you use one, how do you deal with the remaining water/stuff in the hose after you shut it off?
How does it do at or below freezing?

Replace instant hot with standard water heater?

I feel like I'm being pushed into a corner where I'll have to purchase an RV with an instant hot water heater, and I don't like it. I already grumbled about it in the Travel Trailer forum.
I know this goes against the grain of the typical questions asked here, but I'm curious if anybody has ever swapped back to a conventional water heater. Is it difficult? How do the installed dimensions compare?
Thoughts and ideas welcome!

RE: More and more instant hot water systems

Has anybody ever swapped in a conventional water heater? I wonder how much work that would be?

RE: More and more instant hot water systems

If the tankless units don't send the unused water back to the source that's a huge problem with CGs that don't have sewer hookups.
a normal tank water heater doesnt either so I don't understand what your getting at.Perhaps not clearly stated, I think the point simply reinforced the original statement (mine) that they are wasteful because you have to waste so much water before you get usable hot water.

RE: Ram 1500 owners…Hemi & 3.92s?

My 2015 Ram 1500 has the hemi, 8 speed, and 3.92 gears. I love it. It scoots nicely and has been an excellent commute and tow vehicle. On the steering wheel, you can push the "gear down" button once, which takes it out of MDS mode (which isn't that noticeable in the first place). You have to do that every time you shift the vehicle out of park/neutral.
That's good to know, there are 2 buttons that can kill the MDS (each time it's started of course).
How many miles? You have an early 8HP trans. As good as it was back in 2015 still?The truck has about 93000 miles now and honestly, aside from some VERY MINOR wear on the edge of the driver seat where I get in and out, the whole rig is like new, drive train and all. Unless I choose to upgrade to a bigger truck, I can think of ZERO reason to change. JMHO of course. It's older but well aged tech.
