  1. You have a source of heat, salt water and Ammonia. The problem is, it will only work in an environment above "0" F. Your "gel" is actually, slush water, they use salt water, because it has a much lower freeze point, than fresh! In a Dometic Fridge, built in the late 90's, level is 6 degrees front to back and 3 side to side, not critical anymore, as it was in the 60's, 70's, 80's and early-mid 90's! Unless your living in your RV, I would do as Kay suggested...turn the unit off and wait until early spring or until your out of Parka weather, if your going South!
  2. That's kind of what I figured and who would want to re circulate gray water...ugh! Since I have Aqua Hot & it works both ways, I guess I need insta hot installed if I want to conserve water, using both means of obtaining water! Does that make sense?
  3. There is that thought, how long have the 4 little holes been there & under what kind of weather condition? That leads to the question of what does the roof underneath look like? dry root, wet, mold etc. come to mind...don't close the barn after the horse!
  4. Since I'm not an electric genius...does it also work when hooked up to a faucet? Other than the gray tank, you have no loop...to early to think!

    On that project it cost the Tax payer, nothing! The Corps of Engineer built the Sea Wall in 1903 & still maintain it. Normally it is the City Parks Board that maintain the Beach on our dime, but the last time off build up, was paid for by Tillman Feretitta , because he owns everything on the Seawall including the Amusement Pier! He's the main driving force, behind getting gambling back to Texas! He was Born on Island and among other Enterprises, owns Golden Nugget Casino's! Our Dime pays to maintain his beach...so it really cost him nothing, call it Tax write off money!
  6. TTRV. As Joe wrote, if the 99 ECM is not trash also, it should work!
  7. Your coach is a 2002, but I think you have a 2001 chassis. CAT built the 3126 from 1997 to 2001, in 2002 CAT came out with a modified 3126B..

    Joe. Where you see the cut, that's the Gulf of Mexico. To the left is a retention pond that is very low salinity and when it rains it drains into it & there is no movement so it stagnates and is a big breeding ground. Bill. West Bay is opposite, across Steward Road and neast/swest. The Island is shaped like a Boomerang! My house is on pier and beams on a built up 3/4 ac lot, so I'm 23 feet above mean high tide...second highest on Island. My garage is 1,110 sq. ft., and living quarters is 2,660...it hangs over garage on 3 sides.
  9. Lot's of nice ideas...job well done so far!

    We call the 2 ponds, mosquito heaven! The road between is FM 3004, behind park is Stewart, east side is 7 1/2 mile road, west is 8 mile rd. My house is 1 mile west of park!
  11. Now it makes sense! We're just poor " Country Trash", got a couple of HP printers...mine cost $89 at Wall Mart.
  12. Prior to $1,200+, do the simple stuff first. Radiator cap as Rick said.
  13. Ray, relax, it probably is. My wire harness for the awnings start at the step, goes up a channel by the door to ceiling then split. Each bundle has a inline fuse, one set goes to the main awning switch in the control panel for battery info. then I have a master control with 5 switches..one for each awning...then another switch in bedroom! The other bundle runs in a channel under ceiling to the 2 other awnings, each has it's own switch! The master control is for my remote! Oh, they stopped production on my motors in 2006 and ??? no replacements are offered. When my motor died in Mexico, in 2014...my choice was to replace the door awning or remove and live without. $1,200+ Labor, no thanks, I don't go out in heavy rain! Every day, I knock on wood, my other awnings are operational.
  14. Yes, from the Fridge stand point, it was always more critical to be as close to level, F-B. Before Jacks, beach camping could get interesting...
  15. Before residential fridge in a coach, I had Dometic. Even in Texas it gets cold enough where the unit would work erratically! We would unload the unit and turn it off. Then when we headed out again, during winter it was always, deep South Texas. We would turn on Fridge, when ambient temps reached 50F. Never had a problem! The only unit that gave me fits, was one 1200 NorCold and I only had it for a year, 2007!
  16. Only if you got a wish to go North in winter!
  17. I'm guessing LP. As Richard said in last paragraph!
  18. I think you got your numbers and math messed up! Percentage I have no issue with and that's why we also use Office Depot.
  19. Ray, I found the fuses to my awnings under the second step.. Step control wiring...ugh! Surprised it lasted this long.
  20. Richard. Your coach is a perfect example of, newer judge a book by it's cover! Blue Bird, is solid thru and thru! Even when they where in the coach business, they brought that solidity of the school bus with them! Love your home grown grill...well done. Please keep us updated on the rest of the project and Kay is an excellent, past, cabinet maker!
  21. aa9zz. Welcome! Call for reservation now! Strawberry Festival in Plant City, is in mid Feb. It's a very Big & Popular Festival, off I-4 East of Sheffner, FL. or about 50 miles E of Tampa!
  22. SueCanDo. Where the Topper attaches to the coach, make sure there are no visible gaps. If here is, go get a tube of Silicon caulking and apply straight down the length off topper! Happend on my coach last year, after all my toppers where replaced, I had Niagara Falls during rain...now I'm dry and we have had some, cold Frog stranglers, in the past 2 weeks! 8 inches +. Happy 2019
  23. Ray, Best wishes on a warm winter in SoCal & that the awning is an easy fix! Keep in touch..
  24. somewhereintheusa. A 7 year delayed, welcome to the Forum! You joined in November of 2012! What took you so long? Indy rally was in 2017, Gillette rally was last year! I'm truly sorry that after all this time, we did not meet your expectations! Carl
