The reason I took the time to install radiant liquid heat is because I did not like the electric current constantly under my feet and contained by an aluminum box. My coach is all aluminum. I got rid of my water bed heater years ago so I was not sleeping on an electric current. I have the same usage restriction. I need to turn off the pump in the floor when I want a hot shower. The floor does retain enough heat while using hot water for a shower.

Thank you wildebil308 and erniee for the recognition. I did not think it was going to be that challenging. I have it in my home but there are no space restrictions. The motor home presented an engineering challenge with space restrictions. A little bit about my floor heat: The engine hot water tank heats the domestic hot water with a heat exchanger. The domestic hot water heats the floor with a flat plate heat exchanger. The liquid is moved with 1 amp 12 volt wet rotor pumps. When parked the the domestic hot water is heated by shore power and/or propane.

After some personal help with the information technology department, we discovered that the Epic Browser based on Chrome will not let the pictures load. After switching to Microsoft Edge I was able to post the above pictures. If anyone would like to see more pictures I will post more pictures. Off topic, .....If using Microsoft Edge browser is useful information, a moderator could post this tip where needed.

During Covid lockdown I was not using my Motor Home. I installed radiant heat flooring. It took about 10 months to complete. Here is what is under my floor.

My 32-year-old camper is not listed. My leveling system is manual. Each leveling jack has a valve to divert the oil to the jack. The new number for the AP2381 is RAP 2381. I do not want to purchase new jacks at the tune of $1700 EACH. If there is a specific page, you can link me to for the rebuilding of the smaller kick down cylinder please provide it. I keep going in circles to the purchase of new jacks on the HWH site. During a bench test the AP2381 will not kick to a full 90 degrees. I have missed something simple in the rebuild. Thank you for your continued time to reply to this topic as an effort to get my jack to function properly.

Called Stewarts last year. Stewarts always replies to call HWH. HWH was supposed to call me back. No one has returned my call. If any member has rebuilt the AP 2381 leveling jack please let me know what part of the rebuild process has gone wrong. Rayin, Thank you for your military service.

There are a lot of topics on leveling jacks not retracting. The HWH AP 2381 is a 16,000 pound capacity kick down jack. My jacks do not always fully retract either. My system is NOT automatic. Each jack is on a separate hydraulic valve. To over come the retraction difficulty, I retract each jack before I start the engine. With the coaches air ride suspension deflated the weight of the coach will fully push the jacks to the retracted position. When the suspension air bags inflate the coach will lift the jacks off of the ground. This enables the jacks to swing up into the carry position fully retracted. As of late I have a new problem. One of my swing down jacks in only moving to about a 45 degree position. Please note the hydraulic oil is ample enough to push the jack out, but the kick down cylinder, which is a smaller one is is not pushing out far enough to move the jack to a vertical position. The rollers for the pivoting action are all operating smoothly. What is the mechanical problem inside is not permitting the unit to properly kick down?

From what Information I have gathered Glued in place is best. I have read of some sad stories about floating floors in homes with wheels. Did the plywood base get screwed down or glued down?

I do not see where a moderator has suggested a place to put the edit for next years edition of the FMCA Atlas. Does the editor, writer of the Atlas have an account I can private message to for next years Atlas? I stayed at a campground that was missed. There is a Sam's Club near me that should be added also. We can all add to the list if something was missed. Herman, I will check out RVparksreview.com to see if the parks I have stayed at are included there.

We still carry campground information in a loose leaf notebook of every place we have been. It contains notes of the best sites at that particular campground. It also contains personal notes about our stay. "Notes like loud train nearby," "Ok to stay overnight but not for an extended stay." For us The Atlas from FMCA is a list of NEW places to try. FMCA Atlas came the very next day after ordering on the phone. It is packed full of useful camping information. You won't need internet service to use it. There is very little advertisement in it. Ads only placed on the inside of the covers. One should note the Advertisements cost members extra shipping. Without the ADS shipping could be media mail at a much lower cost. A few dollars in my shipping case. The ads do play a part in overall lowering the printing cost to members. I question which costs the members less, advertisement or media mail. Is there a page on the FMCA forums where we can suggest places that are not listed in the Atlas? Someone please provide a link if it already exists. If we need a page like this, could a moderator please start a place to make edits for next years version of the FMCA Atlas? Members living in areas can suggest places near them that were accidently missed for the next years version. One other thought could be to arrange National Parks by state.
