  1. Mike that salt-free No Shot flavoring lists 29mg potassium per tsp. Apparently mixing it myself is my future. That Cajun seasoning sounds good, but using two different seasonings on one large steak for us both might not turn out so well. DW about has me convinced to try Mrs. Dash seasoning, it's all herbal stuff-some salt-free. This caused me to realize I need to get the grill out of the MH and clean it, can't remember last time the SST grill was really cleaned and polished up. I have finally convinced DW well-done is no longer steak!
  2. Try contacting GM customer service national office. The emission stickers are/were required by law on new vehicles, there should be a resource for replacements. The same information should be in the engine owners manual.
  3. The clip is a spring-tension fit, simply pull it off the fin and clean off the corrosion with fine emory-paper so it makes goon contact to transmit temperature.
  4. Thank you for the references MIke, I grilled that steak this evening and heaven in my mouth is the best I can describe it. That was the first steak we've had in 6 months or more. The home-made salt-free rub was just OK, I did add another ingredient not on the list-brown sugar. Drs.didn't say anything about sugar intake, my A1C is 5.8 after all this hospital and surgery stuff. Kay I forgot the lemon juice. 😞 Getting to fire up the grill again did raise my spirits a lot. EDIT: I just realized I can't use that Texjoy salt-free seasoning, it lists potassium chloride as the main ingredient. The cardio Dr.s took me off my potassium supplement because of the heart control meds I'm on now. 😖 Being old sucks_.
  5. Never mind, only one is available. I saw these batteries and for the price wonder about quality. Three would fit where my present 3 LA battery tray. Any opinions? I will need to insure my Xantrex RS2000 inverter/charger is compatible before purchase.https://www.ebay.com/itm/373556548270?hash=item56f9b492ae:g:iA0AAOSwlwhgbMLl
  6. Going to grill ribeye steaks Monday evening, I'll try lemon juice. I'm going to make my own rub from a salt-free recipe I found on the web yesterday. I've got to stay very mild, DW can't take spicy foods or toppings, shoot she won't even eat peppered gravy. Me OTOH am willing to try anything hot as long as it has taste too.
  7. According to this thread on irv2.com FMCA is storing our passwords in clear text: https://www.irv2.com/forums/f53/fmca-warning-change-your-password-asap-533881.html#post5725010 Is there actually cause for concern?
  8. Alll advice is correct. Norcold says the same things. To further explain; up/down is supposedly the fine adjustment, moving one fin at a time left is coarse adjustment. The main thing is to make sure there is no corrosion between fin and retaining clip, when continuity is lost the thermister cannot function. If the thermister goes bad it causes the control board to switch to default mode =constant cooling at maximum rate.

  9. We bought our MH in 2013 and have yet to encounter an RV park that denied us site rental. It was built in April 2000. We have been in 46 of 50 states, 11 Canadian provinces. To DCrawf; IMO the first decision may perhaps be floorplan, if one of you don't like the floorplan it will never get better later. As we got older we realized the value of 1½ bathrooms. Some gas model MH's have a small cargo carrying capacity. Gas engine MH's usually have a 5,000# towing capacity, later years of some models may have 7,500# towing capacity. Diesel pushers have a 10,000# towing capacity, later years of some models have a 15,000 towing capacity. Both gas and diesel will get you there safely, they just have different limitations. We chose quality over newer and have never regretted the decision. In 2000 our MH was Winnebago's top of the line, limited production model. Were we to make the decision today we would look at older Newmar, Foretravel and other similar quality brands.
  10. Thanks Carl and Bill! My salt-free diet is so strict I'm not allowed to drink any milk due to salt content. Now the heart Dr. has taken away my bourbon and brandy because of the heart meds., orange juice and ice water are my go-to drinks. He did tell me I may have one beer a week, but to monitor my BP. Next visit to the heart Dr. I may get some leeway, my lower legs and feet have stopped swelling enough I can wear my Lucchese boots again. I'll look at those salt-free steak seasonings, thanks again.
  11. Mike Uncle Cris' seasoning sounds good, wish I could try some but i'm on a salt-free diet-hypertension. Does that company make a salt-free alternative or do you know of one? I couldn't find any salt-free steak seasoning on the website.
  12. I"m still one, mom is 98. She always called me her Ray of sunshine.
  13. The reason for the corrosion is DC electrrons flow from negative to positive.The original thinking was positive ground reinforced the vehicle frame, negative ground weakened the frame. Same basic reasoning.(corrosion) How things change over time. That process is the basis for electrroplating; ie: transfer metal from negatively-charged anode( plating material) to positivly-charged cathode.(material being plated) I don't think I've discussed electrical theory much since college, kinda makes my head hurt today.
  14. Hope she gets home soon erniss, that place is full of sick people. I spent a month there last Christmas.
  15. I have one -1932 Chevrolet Confederate BA 2 dr, sedan. My previous Harry Ferguson TO30 tractor was 6V pos ground too. What is more elusive was the reasoning for positive ground. I remember, do you?
  16. Our MH has ceramic tile except for living room and bedroom, We've never had an issue arise. Heated ceramic floor would be great in cold weather.
  17. First we need to understand exactly what happens with a Soft Starter: https://www.raymondinnovations.com/blogs/news/induction-motors-and-soft-starters A Hard Start Kit defined:; https://georgebrazilhvac.com/blog/what-is-an-air-conditioner-hard-start-kit Now we know why a Soft Start kit is generally inadvisable, and why a Hard Start Kit is beneficial in some instances. Neither will help alleviate your particular situation IMHO.
  18. It's odd you mentioned that, I just ran across this article from a supposed "expert" with RVtravel that is completely wrong IMO. https://www.rvtravel.com/diy-safe-way-to-test-the-ground-wire-bond-to-the-rv-frame/ Here is an article by a staff writer pretending to know of which he speaks; guess he never studied electrical theory.:https://www.reference.com/science/negative-ground-electrical-system-c4985d1ab3eab6c
  19. FWIW over 80% of all 12V problems are the result of a poor/missing ground.
  20. This is after-the-fact, but that's why the cabinet cleaning instructions say to only use a damp cloth. It's possible the Pledge softened the finish enough to cause those smear marks. A quick search of the web found these possible solutions. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffnt&q=How+to+remove+Pledge+polish&atb=v228-1&ia=web
  21. After about 1 hour of study I've determined that Prin load/inflation chart is so mixed up almost everything I did was a guess at what the author meant vs what they printed. I recommend you look at tire brands with load/inflation tables that are understandable OR simply run them at sidewall listed pressure. Not a recommendation only a reference: I run Sailun truck tires, 275/70R22.5 LR H. the load rating is 6,940 lbs @ 130 psi. I could never do that though, my rims are rated for 120psi. Sailun does not recommend running less than 80pi., at 80psi the load rating is 5,205lbs on EACH tire. I'm confident other better known brands read about the same.
  22. I will third the recommendation to read the owners manual! Ignore what anyone tells you, I have seen within the past 6 months were the two leading publications for flat-towing were incorrect, only the vehicle mfgr. actually knows for sure. No-one should care more about your money than you. BTW, in owners manual it's usually called recreational towing.

    coolant change

    Some versions of the Cummins ISC require a coolant filter with built-in additive, others have an ordinary coolant filter, you buy the additive in pre-mixed coolant.. I always use pre-mixed coolant, this way I know the mixture is correct, plus DI/distilled water can cause metal leaching if the proper additive is not used, or proper filter selected. Either method, you should use a coolant test strip annually to insure the additive is not depleted as this additive's main function is to protect the cylinder liner from cavitation damage The best source of information for YOUR specific engine is Cummins Quick Serve website. You must have your engine serial # to register on Cummins website.
  24. You received several excellent replies on escapees.com too.I'll not bother to retype mine again.
  25. You're right of course it's one or the other in this specific situation.
