  1. Check that it's getting power with a 12 volt test light while someone else engage the washer.
  2. Now I can attest to the fact that this modification works. Last few days we had cold weather as low as 28 and the thermostat was turning it on and off as it should.
  3. Trailer View of Bellevue is just east of Seattle. https://www.trailerinnsrv.com/seattle/amenities_rates.html
  4. Sounds like the ecm is failing. Check connection at the ecm first
  5. It a simple 2 wire magnetic switch stat that can be used in barns to prevent freezing. That's why it go down to 35 but max at 75. Not a normal house thermostat but something you will find at farmer supply.
  6. Like i said. I did the same. The heating element can short out and that split second can crack the boiler.
  7. When it was on the blink the last time I jumped the thermostat terminals and heater turned on. It could of been the connection there but i didn't want to take a chance. Once its frozen too cold to work on. This way i can test the system before hitting the road.
  8. This is strictly 12 volts so it works while driving. LOL
  9. No thats a painted garage floor. We are going as far as Quartzsite this winter.
  10. I did the same. Didn't receive a check. Best advice is run it on propane as the double elements can overheat and cause a crack.
  11. I was referring to blakleyfamily post as others was. I don't need clarification of GFCI vs breakers.
  12. I thought they are breakers on the inverter.
  13. My dw and her friend had the MW with coffee pot and toaster along with a tea kettle going and wonder why the electric went out. Can you say grid overload.
  14. I had the basement heater fail to come on causing the water to freeze the last few years. I have a backup electric heater that use 120 v but it will be good to have the system installed working. The main problem is when the cargo heater fail to come on it freezes the pipes and we end up without water. The reason why is the snap disk thermostat may or may not turn on as happen in Delaware during January 2017. I pulled into the campground in zero degree weather and the first thing I noticed was no water. Second thing was no cargo heat. So the next day we were faced getting a backup heater to thaw things out. No fun walking in freezing weather to use the restroom. I had a left over thermostat from a old garage heater one decided why not go with a real thermostat with more control. I didn't know how to put description after each picture so I hope you can follow in the order it was uploaded. 1 Snap disk, 2 Wires prepared for installation, 3 Wires installed for thermostat, snap disk disconnected, 4 Access panel being prepare for thermostat, 5 Access panel installed 6 Thermostat installed and set to 55 for testing, can be set as low as 35 but will be set at 40. 7 We have a working cargo heater
  15. I been running the Michelin XL Energy Z since 2014 and love them compare to the One years (Goodyear) that was on the coach.
  16. There is a plate on the right front of the generator to check to outgoing power. If no power there you have problems and have to pull the generator from the coach to repair. Happen to mine and cost 4k to repair as internal inverter with attaching wiring harness burnt up. Most covered by xtraride .
  17. As posted before, "Our Holiday Misadventure So Far" something always happen.
  18. Like I said before it is stated right on the dipstick.
  19. When I worked fleet I seen it happen and the person that do it gets lot of teasing. Well that goes for all oil spills.
  20. I kind of wonder why I see so many pickup trucks with travel trailers flipped. Maybe it not a great idea to tow 12k even if the truck is rated to tow 12k
  21. I have a 06 and it has a Transynd tag on the dipstick and also printed on the dipstick. It's best to buy a 5 gallon bucket of it and pump it in after you drain and change filters. If you going to flush this may be just enough.
  22. If you do it yourself at least you know it's done right as the shops don't care if your out of $10,000 with nothing to show for it. Limp it home and start removing pieces of the rear of your coach until you get the rad and cac out. You can have the rad tested at a radiator shop and clean the air cooler yourself. After that the fan hub will be easy to get out. Stop paying the big shops that don't care.
  23. The drop screen on our coach drops about 3 feet that is enough to zip the 6 foot extension to it. You unzip the extension and the three footer rolls up in the carefree awning no problem. There are 4 tie downs to keep it tight. I got away with using two 5 gallon buckets on each end.
  24. It's what ever the clean air act 609 wants for the giving time. In 1995 I had to be certified 609 r-12 and r-134a. Now I just had to be certified for r-1234yf. We are not allowed to say freon anymore since 1995, it's refrigerant.
