    The Good, the almost bad and the not so ugly

    In anticipation of a quick run to the Oregon coast tomorrow, I de-winterized the Hawk today. The Good thing was my very painstaking dewatering last November resulted in no frozen water pockets to cause leaks as I have had the last couple of years. (I hate pulling the front of the cabinet off to...

    Water Heater on Mini Lite 2511s

    I did some searching but could not come up with anything on my problem. I am in the process of purchasing a 2022 Mini Lite 2511s and I had an inspection done on the unit. Really the only issue that came up from the inspection was the pictured grommet is cracked and was suggested that it needed...

    Lets Talk Water Filters

    We are wintering in TX and have been cautioned by other campers that the water here is not the greatest . Ok for washing but for consumption not so much. We have an onboard WaterPur canister which takes a carbon block filter cartridge. There's no mention of micron size only that it reduces...

    Wattage of Suburban water heater

    Does anyone know how many watts the electric ignition draws on the Suburban 6 Gallon RV Water Heater Direct Spark SW6D water heater? I do not have the electric optional heating element, gas only. Just curious how many watts the ignition uses for the burner.

    Help - Dead in the Water - No Power

    I went to take my 202 Isata 5 to get an engine recall done, and the entire coach is dead. No power to anything including the cab area - just lights on the outlets. I tried to call Dynamax, but, of course, I cannot get anyone to answer any of the phones, even the 0 extension for "immediate"...

    City water hookup replacement

    I have a Salem hemisphere and my city water hookup port is stripped pretty badly. Ideally, I'd like to replace the whole panel incl fresh water and tank flush with something better with metal connections, but in the event there is nothing available like that, can I replace the individual...

    Water pump and water heater out

    Went in to in-winterize my rig to use in a few weeks. This is a Wildwood FSX 270 RTK. After flushing lines, tanks and running plumbing to get all the anti-freeze out, I decided to test my pump. Nothing. Does not kick on, when I have water in the tank, and turn off city water. Pump switch...

    Where is my water heater control box?

    I have a Wildwood FSX 270RTK I am nearly 99% certain my control module for the Suburban water heater (6gal) has gone bad. Have a new one, but do not know where I should expect to find the original one installed on the trailer? Would it be mounted next to the water heater itself? Anybody have...

    Black water holding tanks

    Does anyone use a black water above ground holding tank? I want to try this method as it is only my wife and me, and only for 2 to 7 nights in our TT on our property. When we travel, we stay at places where we can dump, but when we use our TT as a temp spot on our own property, I think it would...

    Hey I'm new to full time camping, and got thrown into right before winter and didn't have time to really learn anything about my new home. Well I went to work the other morning and thought "that sounds like a lot of melting ice" and of course it wasn't, entire under belly full of water. Shut the...

    Dometic Toilet Not Holding Water

    Hello all, Last summer I had the toilet seal replaced because the toilet wasn't holding water. After the replacement, it turned out the toilet was still not holding water, unless I pull the pedal up to add a wee bit water more. A month ago, the pedal spring broke entirely, so I ordered a new one...

    Setting a water pressure regulator

    Should an adjustable water pressure regulator be set with it connected in a static situation (no water flowing) or with a faucet on? I have my water pressure regulator set at 50 psi static, but it reads 42 psi with a faucet on. Is a pressure drop normal or is it a city water pressure issue (or...

    Need to replace city water inlet - is that all?

    When winterizing back in the fall, the container of antifreeze was depleting much faster than expected. Realized that each time the pump was turned on, the antifreeze was absolutely blasting out of the city water inlet! (ended up catching it in a bucket and putting back into the container so...

    Fresh Water Accumulator Tanks

    When boondocking, my biggest annoyance is the water pump constantly cycling. While washing hands or dishes with the valves half-open, it cycles every 3-4 seconds, causing the lights to flicker from the in-rush current draw. I know its supposed to have a bypass, and I could go chase that down...

    Fresh water fill for ISATA-3 (...and difficult valve)

    We've purchased a barely-used 2021 ISATA-3 and somehow missed the step on exactly how to fill the fresh water tank. I have a hose fitting attachment on the side of the RV labeled "City Water". I have a fresh-water Anderson-type water valve station in one of the compartments. I have not...

    Our 2022 Wolf Pup 18OT is connected to city water. Yesterday we sprung a leak underneath which seems to be an overflowing water tank. Does anyone have any ideas on how to repair?

    Hose water bypassing lines: 2014 Sunseeker 2860ds

    We had a freeze pretty awful in Arlington recently. Finally had the chance to use my water, but when turned on, it bypasses the water lines completely and is gushing out from under the unit where the tank and red/blue lines are by the right wheel and hydraulic. Any way to fix this? My holding...

    Hot water

    So, I know this will sound silly not to resolve but… Had our coach, FR Leprechaun winterized. Now taking it out, hot water comes out both sides of faucet (kitchen and bath). So there has to be a switch off somewhere. Didn’t see much in manual. Thanks. Tom
