Carl, check the number that you dialed, probably good Sam.

While you may be envious of others, far more are envious of your unit. Some of the ones driving a lot more expensive units than yours can be envious of your choice for many reasons. Were it I, I would drive it for as long as I was happy with my own decision and enjoy it to the limits. As Tom pointed out, you may want to visit some of the less expensive parks, and see how down to earth the vast majority live. Then when going back to the resorts, you can smile and think how lucky you should really feel.

Is the water clear? If it is from aqua hot I think that it will contain anti freeze, most of the time if anti freeze is in the water, it will be colored same color as the anti freeze, and will have a slime feel.

I agree with Brett, adding a charge line is no big deal!

I copied and pasted the photo into another file so that I could zoom in and enlarge the photo. I am now able to see droplets of water on the plastic tee and dripping down onto the electric box below. The fitting that the plastic tee is screwed into could possibly be a screw in type checkvalve. If this is the case, you will need to cut the RED PEX pipe that is to the right and goes downward. With this done, you can now unscrew the valve that is to the right of the tee, from the tee. This now gives access so you can unscrew the tee, and lastly the checkvalve from the water heater. When you are able to look inside behind the tee into the fitting, if this is a checkvalve, you will not be able see through that fitting. To put the PEX back together, simply purchase a coupler for the correct size PEX. Hope this helps!

There is no checkvalve in the posted picture, the only valve shown is an off/on valve. The tee that it is attached to is nothing more than a plastic tee screwed into what looks like, as posted above, a flare type fitting. the only possibility of a check valve in the photo is at the bottom of the red PEX line turned back towards the water heater. A checkvalve has no handle attached, as the only thing a checkvalve does is it makes the liquid flow in only one direction. Most of them looks like just another piece of pipe that is a little larger than the pipe that is setting the flow direction in. Most of them will have an arrow pointing the direction of flow, or an IN on one end and/or an OUT on the other end. The pop off valve should always be on top of the tank with a lift tab on top or side of it. The pop off valve is the most common valve that will give a problem with age as the spring/heat sensor usually gets weak, and only remedy is replacement. If you can take a picture of where the water trickles from, or a good description, can help us give better advice.

The valve pictured does not look like a check valve, looks more like an on off valve with the handle removed. As Herman pointed out, you could cut the PEX line, a pair of pruning shears works well for this or if you have a pvc cutter, is a little better. Those type of fittings are pretty inexpensive and would be my recommend to replace them. I can't understand the uncapped tee, what is supposed to go there? If that is the pop off safety valve and you have removed the release tab, my apologies, but same applies, a pop off valve is supposed to screw straight into the tank and pipe attached to carry the steam to the outside. Now for PEX plumbing, there are alternatives to using the compression rings for making new connections, most stores that sell PEX plumbing supplies have fittings that will just press on, some called SharkBite, some are called GatorBite, and several other names, very easy to work with and requires no clamps or the tool to use to compress those rings. Please take your picture to a plumbing store and have them verify what type valve that is, and get their advice on how to make the repair.

One of the best tutorials is actually on youtube, just type air brakes youtube from your browser search engine, I prefer Google, but any will do fine. If you can hear leaking when someone presses and holds the brake pedal, that is not good, but pretty easy to find if you can be outside and figure which wheel it is coming from. If you hear air when releasing the pedal, that's normal. The old soap and water sprayed onto the fittings will produce bubbles at any leak. One of the most important things to keep a check on with an air brake system is to make sure that all canisters are purged regurally, water buildup in the canisters is not good.

Maybe the RV was stolen, he didn't to leave any evidence behind!

What tread design are the Toyo tires? I have run Toyo's before with no unusual noise.

Here is an interesting article about your question, apparently the 2018 is the first year that it can be towed 4 down with AWD. It is nice to know that GM has tackled this problem for us RV'ers. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2015/09/how-to-properly-tow-a-chevrolet-equinox-with-an-rv/

You may need more than a FITNESS ROOM, dynamite comes in small packages,

Tom, you may need to log out of FMCA then log back in to see if the settings will work for you. I tried Firefox and can't get anything about FMCA site to work. Google chrome works fine, and IE 11 seem to work ok.

That's a good one!

Roger, if you will PM a shipping address, I'll ship you a DP/DT switch tomorrow AM, no cost to you.

I agree with Brett, DP/DT is the best option. Two in's and 1 out just as he described is the best option, backfeeding can become a nightmare. Only better souloution would be an automatic transfer switch that would activate when you power on the inverter, or an inverter that automatically switches on when shore, or generator power is off and supports pass through operation.

The op stated in the original post that he followed instructions to the letter.

What is network SSID? SSID is short for service set identifier. The SSID is used as a name to identify a wireless router to connect to. Wireless routers have a default SSID when first set up (e.g. "linksys", "netgear", "default") and can be re-named to a more descriptive name (e.g. "CafeWifi") through the particular wireless model's configuration pages. SSIDs are case sensitive and can be up to 32 characters long. The SSID is also used in the network communication to direct the network packets (traffic) to the correct wireless access point.

It's still $10.00 Herman, name is now, (SENIOR PASS). In all national parks, gets you and your guests free admittance to the attraction, and in some but not all campgrounds, 50% discount on camping. All of the federal campgrounds in the Smokey Mountain National park, such as Cades Cove, Elkmont, and a few others there are 100% boondocking only. Nearly all Corp of Engineers parks do give the 50% off as well. There are many national attractions that have no campground facilities, but are worthwhile to visit, Mendenhall Glacier at Juno Alaska is one, Fort Pulaski at Savanah Ga., another, many more.

Carl, I have the same service from Verizon, it is a box that receives the wireless signal and has a regular house type RJ11 jack to plug the regular home phone into. I use a 4 line wireless handset device with answering machine from Sams club. I pay $20.00 a month for this service, and can take it every place that we go. Princess phone will work on this device.

I am not advocating no surge protection. Being in the computer/it field for a living, I certainly BELIEVE in surge protection. I was only referring to two of them at the same time is an overkill, as well as actually making a weaker link to the main power. And yes I have seen many circumstances where there is a potential for damage, fortunately I have not been a victim yet.

I don't think Remco has a driveshaft disconnect for the Ford Edge. Hard to find for front wheel drive models. Maybe someone should consider making hub locks for all cars.

I was also going to point out that the diesel/electric train has been around for 80+ years, and look at what a load they carry. For those that do not know, the transition technology of d/e is very reliable. They boast 836 miles per ton (2000#'s) per gallon of fuel, and is a proven fact. Not so sure about a gas turbine engine yet, in the past small gas or diesel turbines have been reliable but were fuel hogs. When I was a small boy, in the 50's, the city buses in B'ham., were all electric trolleys, they had a pole on the back of the bus that made contact with an electric wire overhead that was installed for every bus route. I remember the driver going to the rear of the bus and pulling a rope to change from one grid to another. About 1957 those buses were sold to San francisco, who used them for many more years. MEMORIES!

I second Wayne, and sentiments are with you. I have converted two buses and am working on a schoolie now for my daughter and son inlaw. Many questions come while converting and will be glad in helping with answers. If you don't already have the BUS CONVERTERS BIBLE, you really need one, just search on google for that name. And welcome to the forum.

As Brett said, but be sure to use two wires to your battery as he stated, I emphasized this because many try to use only a hot wire and no good ground from the coach will cause sporadic charging of the toad battery.
