  1. Yeah Herman/Bobbie....love Texas warm weather. It's much warmer in the RGV than in Dallaas area. It surprised me how much the weather differed between Dallas and Houston (we have a daughter in area of each). Stay warm Paul
  2. We've use a Vangard blue flame propane heater for over a year with no problems. Keep a window cracked and DON'T SLEEP with in on......use more covers.
  3. We left Ohio last October and established residence in Texas. No incomes taxes, WARM, jobs, WARM, growing, WARM,
  4. We are at Coastal Oaks RV in Rockport and it is very nice: www.CoastalOaksRVResort.com
  5. Brett.....where do you find the valve? Would you look under the dash, in the front firewall area, or under the coach? I too FREEZE in colder temps......figured it was just the "nature of the rear engine beast." thanks Paul
  6. I blocked my outside vent using duct tape. I later felt air venting out the back when I was checking things in the outside access panel. I then removed about a third of the tape in the area where I felt the air.
  7. Thanks Brett. Your reply sure makes a lot of sense. I especially find the re-charging with the alternator interesting. We should have batteries charged before hitting the road and would only ask alternator to replace lost battery volts used to run refrigerator while traveling. Would this work? Thanks again. I'm new here and learning my way! Paul
  8. Sorry I haven't gotten back on make and model of RR.....we were traveling. I installed the Whirpool, side by side, 21.6 cuft refrigerator with the stainless steel finish and water and ice in the door. Model #ED2GVEXVDO1. As I understand from installers in Red Bay, AL where Tiffins are manufactured, this is the largest, best fit available. They've had good success with this refrigerator. As noted in my blog, we purchased the RR at Lowes. They even helped deliver it INSIDE my motorhome! I need more study on the inverter/battery issue before I move forward. I want to get with someone familiar with these electronics before deciding what to do. Do I go with AGM's, increase the number of batteries, get a dedicated pure sine wave inverter for the fridgeor replace my existing modified inverter, will there be charging issues while traveling???? These are all issues I'm investigating. We've been pleased with the performance of the frige remaining cold while traveling. We've found we can easily travel 6 hours without significant warming of the freezer or refrigerator box. Although, it is a problem if we boondock (without electric overnight).... we need to run the generator several times a day. We don't boondock that much, but would like to be able to, on occasion. Again, check out our blog if you are interested in reading about the install and seeing pictures. I have enjoyed sharing our RR project. Although it was a maintenance issue I would have like to avoid, we are so pleased with our new refrigerator. Thanks for your interest Paul Weaver www.wheresweaver.blogspot.com
  9. I recently replaced my Norcold 1200 with a Whirlpool residential refrigerator. I did the work myself and thought many of you might enjoy reading our Blog report on the replacement. See it here: http://wheresweaver.blogspot.com/2010_09_23_archive.html I'm doing the install in a couple of phases. The refrigerator was the first phase. My next step is to get a pure sine wave inverter installed. Then eventually replace the batteries. Wish I could have done all the phases at once but....$$$$$$$ I actually found the replacement easy. Everything seemed to go as planned and we're enjoying the RR. Paul http://www.wheresweaver.blogspot.com
