    Hot water storage tank

    To alleviate the 4-minute shower time, I am wondering if anyone here has used an auxilliary tank for holding hot water? (I'm trying to increase my time to 10 minutes, lol)

    Full gray water tank

    I am new to the camping world. I purchased a 2022 Gray Wolf Black Label. I am camping with full hook up. I have the line ran for the black / gray water. I keep my black water gate valve closed, but keep my gray water gate valve open so it drains all the time. My instrument panel shows my gray...

    Fresh water tank supports

    I have read a lot of threads on this issue. My underbelly was popped out. Pulled it. Water tank sagging. Zero metal supports across it. Only a thin fabric piece of tape that snapped, obviously. If I do the home depot super strut fix, How do I put the underbelly panel back on? It...

    Best portable waste tank for a MiniLite 2109S

    Greetings all! You may wonder why it matters the model of trailer one has when choosing a portable waste tank. The waste outlet on my 2109S is only about 9" off the ground. I'm using a Thetford 35 gallon because the inlet/outlet is at the bottom with a permanently attached how. When the tank is...

    30 pound propane tank

    A question regarding propane use when running the furnace. I'm new to RVs and will take possession of my first RV tomorrow (27 November, 2023.) I wonder if a single 30# propane tank that is full will last for two days running a propane-only furnace with the thermostat set to 40* and with...

    DX3 37TS fresh water tank drip

    I noticed a drip from one of the small hoses under the fresh tank. There are 3 hoses from the top of the tank,one large and 2 small hoses. One of them is dripping under the coach. This in turn is emptying the fresh tank. Can anyone tell me what the 2 smaller white hoses do? The water in and out...

    More cracked propane tank mounting brackets but rear this time

    Another owner of a 2020 GT5 34H5 posted a pic on another forum today showing how his rear propane tank mounting bracket had partially cracked at the 90-degree bend in the bracket. All other reports of cracked propane tank mounting brackets on roughly 2019 - 2023 Georgetowns were on the front...

    Tongue weight considerations, Propane tank weights

    Looking over that resurrected, now closed thread of someone trying to save on tongue weight, I decided to remind those trying to do so of actual weights. A 20# propane tank weighs 17# empty (called TARE weight). A 30# propane tank weighs 19# empty. Plus the rated propane amount when filled...

    Two grey tanks

    I'm about to take ownership (in two weeks) of a 2020 CC Hathaway 34IK. I'm brand new to RV world. The CC will be "permanently" parked at an RV park (it can be moved if necessary, but basically no one moves their RVs) and I intend to use the RV 8-10 days a month year round. It's on full city...

    Waste tanks termination valve

    The black tank termination valve on my 2016 Georgetown 270S motorhome is hard to open & close. Thought I could just replace the valve and be done with it. However, Forest River Warranty told me today that I would have to replace both black & gray valves called a double RV waste valve kit. Has...

    Winterize...forgot black tank flush line

    2024 Rockwood 2608bs: So I winterized last week using RV antifreeze and all went well until reading somewhere to make sure you don't forget the black tank flush. I also didn't winterize the ShowerMiser line. Can I just use the air compressor system and just blow out the black tank flush line...

    Fresh Water Tank Filling Unexpectedly Even After Replacing Water Pump

    Greetings all, This is my first post. My girlfriend and I have been living full time in our 2019 Rockwood Ultra Lite 2304DS since June. We've been on city water the whole time but didn't realize until very recently that the water pump doesn't need to be on while connected to city water. We...

    Furrion tankless issues

    2022 FOREST RIVER XLR BOOST 29QBX I have had the absolute worst experience with the Furrion tankless hot water heater. First time out in May I found the dealer did not properly winterize. Once I figured out what was going on damage had been done. Who designed this thing? I get it they pop. But...

    Tank heaters 24JS

    2020 24JS campfire package, I am assuming my year doesn’t have tank heaters. I do not see a switch saying I do. Has anyone used them or installed them? Also; does the propane heat keep the floor warm and help the tanks? I read some TTs do and was wondering if this model does.

    2024 Flagstaff 21FBRS Tankless WH retrofit.

    Hello, and greetings to all members. I just joined this forum to hopefully get some input and guidance on the water heater aspect of a 2024 Flagstaff Micro-Lite 21FBRS we purchased last week. This is our first real travel trailer (I owned a Starcraft pop-up in the 90's) and we spent a lot of...

    2018 F250 Def tank size doesn't seem to match

    I recently purchased a 2018 F250 Powerstroke. According to the manual listing, my DEF tank has a capacity of 7.4 gallons. Yet when my gauge says I'm half full and I add a jug (2.5 gallons), it now reads full. Is there some sort of hidden reserve or did they change tank sizes mid-year or what?

    Single Gray Tank Models?

    New (to us) Clipper - tank strapping overly slack??

    We just purchased a used 2021 Clipper 17FQ. Our first trailer other than pop ups 20 years ago. While under it today to adjust the stabilizer jacks, I noted the metal stapping under the black and grey water tanks is very slack, actually hanging down a couple of inches under the tanks. In...

    KiB tank monitor 2300, wires burned up going to display.

    First, I wonder what would even cause this. Unless I held the buttons too long and they weren't rated for the amperage. Which seems unlikely. Second, I can't find KiB anywhere online. Third, seems like the dealers job is to tell me my extended warranty won't cover anything. This is clearly...
