RE: Changing Atwood water heater plug to brass
We just had a thread on that, where ISTR the pros said it was a bad idea due to brass and aluminum issues.
The rear of my Atwood GE16EXT hot water heater has brass fittings into the aluminium tank. No problems since 2007.
RE: Batwing Water Leak
Throwing a Batwing in the trash? Really? What "different antenna" did/are you now using thats better than the batwing?
Thanks
Batwing needs to be lubricates at least once/year
Time to reorder some LED bulbs
Some of our 12vdc LED's are starting to give me issues. I think my best bet is a 5 or 10 pack. Walking into C.W. and purchasing 5 of the bulbs can get costly.
Where are others ordering on-line? I'm looking for white/bright leds for the overhead lights.
A Google search reveals too many results!
BA9 style base
RE: running fridge in cold weather?
Coke and Pepsi machines do NOT have heaters in them. Been maintaining these machines for the last two years.
We full time in our rig. Norcold 4 door worked w/o issues even when temps well below freezing this6 last winter.
I restrict the vents on the outside cover during winter.
Previous poster mentioned the mess exploding cans create, that's nothing compared to a ice cream freezer loosing power, ice cream melting all over the inside then power is restored freezing the melted mess.
Time to break out the steam cleaner!
RE: Winter camping
Odd, I full time and on my 2nd NH winter. Heated Hose works just fine connected to a winter faucet (Lift Type) thats heat taped.
Running rigid PVC to sewer connection.
Supplemental heat in wet bay
Never a problem last winter and expect the same this winter.
RE: Strange house battery issue
That converter should be getting 120 volts on the AC side thus charging your batteries. Check for a tripped breaker or blown fuse.
If getting power and charging the batteries you should hear it humming.
RE: norcold ice maker
I'd download the service manual for your fridge. My Norcold 4 door has both icemaker and indoor water. My ice maker quit and i found the replacement at Lowes. MUCH CHEAPER that ordering from Norcold. Service manual is also very informative.
RE: Thinking a Battery Monitor.............
My Midnight Solar Classic charge controller has an optional battery monitor. Uses a wired shunt. Classic connected to my LAN via ethernet.
RE: Battery
4 Sams Club 6v golf cart batteries lasted me almost 12 years (sold rig). Half of the NH winters the rig was NOT connected to AC. I fully charged and hit the true disconnect switch every fall.
