It has always bothered me about how much water is wasted when waiting for the shower to warm up. This valve along with a temperature sensor will divert the water back to the fresh tank until the water temp gets warm enough.

Shouldn't matter how long its on the jacks.

When did it start doing that?

It has to have both to run.

My 20 CF Samsung max draw is 3.9, it is an inverter style fridge and typical draw is about 1.7 after startup which is pretty consistent, therefore a rather small solar system will provide plenty of reserve power to keep it running for days when there is adequate sunshine for 8 or more hours in each day.
I think most refrigerators draw around 8 amps for the defrost cycle which could happen every 8 hours. What I have done on those installations is put a switch on the heater circuit so I can turn off the autodefrost when on the inverter.

There are chapters that limit membership to a brand of motorhome or chassis or other restrictions. Keep looking, I'm sure you will find one that will welcome you.

ISPJS, I have a grandson that was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. He had a total of 4 open heart surgeries before he was 4 and is now 19 and in college. Hope your grandson is doing well.

There are drawback's on both! In a full time situation, we would want our toys with us & that means a Stacker trailer. In a 5'er, you would need 2 trucks. 
Since we have a beach house and 3 ranches between us, I don't think full time is in the cards! 
You can wait until morning and maybe the weather is better and then you can hook up.

Check wiring. The sensor is in the bell housing, it counts the teeth on the ring gear.

I have the Surge Guard hard wired with the monitor. I use it to monitor my amp usage when in limited amp situations.

I extended the platform and bought a standard queen mattress. I have a Denver queen from Lippert.

They are probably a great company. I had a set of Cooper tires on my Chrysler minivan and they failed. They were replaced under warranty and failed again. The 3rd time they failed the company bought me a set of Michelins to get out of their warranty responsibility. The Michelins worked for years and were on the van when I sold it.

I carry 185 gal of diesel in my coach and 96 gal in my tank in the back of my Silverado toad. What I usually do is when in a campground I search out the cheapest fuel using Gas Buddy and go for it in the truck. I have a transfer pump and meter. I average about 10 mpg so I have long range.
-
On my way to Gillette I bought a little over 100 gal of diesel for $2.999 at Costco. About 30-50 cents/gal cheaper than others.

Been running Toyos for years, good performance.

When we lost power and as a guest house.

I did a residential conversion last year. 10.2 cu ft bottom freezer 24 in wide. Took out a Dometic that was 32 in wide and had 8 inches for a slide out pantry 5 ft tall. The new one has a larger interior than the old one. I made sure it was approved for RV use, had trouble with one in my last coach, compressor failed in 7 months. I bought this one at Best Buy on sale for $299 and for $100 extended the warranty to 5 years. Used it for 4 months this summer and was one of the better improvements I did to the coach.

I hope you have good luck.

You can have Roadmaster install it and any event they attend, like FMCA, Quartzite, some large RV shows.

That was to toad of choice back in the 70s with a tow bar.

Thanks
If you want to stay away from congested areas stay away from Boston.

A few years ago we stayed at Watchman in the park. Has electric.

in 1988 I built a garage on my vacant lot that is 32ft x 64 ft with a 15ft ceiling. Has a 14 ft rv door and a 7 ft double wide car door. I moved my metal and woodworking shop into it along with the motorhome. I then built my house using the shop equipment. I think the cost was around $30K.

No mess at all, don't spill a drop. Just put the hose in a bucket and have someone start the engine and then when 6 quarts come out yell shut off.
