This is yet another tale of how I don't follow my own guidance. 

I installed an Intellitronix digital readout for the outside temperature instead of the analog VDO gauge. I also had to install the outside sensor to work with this gauge. 

Except, I noticed that the warning light for the Engine Preheat had a faint glow when I put it all back together. Now that's odd, I thought. I flipped the switch for the Engine Preheat and two things happened. One, the faint glow disappeared instead of the warning light coming on, and two the new gauge went dark. 

So my mind goes into overdrive trying to noodle out how the two things could possibly be connected. Did Newell install some smart circuit so the Engine Preheat would only operate below certain ambient temperatures? That didn't seem plausible. 

Did I miswire something? Triple check and all is good. 

So last night I start disconnecting what I have done, and nothing really makes sense. I did reach out to a couple of gurus. One said to me, think horses not zebras. 

This morning I discovered that the fuse that supplies the power to the temperature gauge is ALSO the fuse that supplies the Engine Preheat warning light. It was blown. I obviously shorted it out while fiddling with the new gauge. Apparently the wiring was backfeeding just enough voltage to work the gauge through the warning light. I would have never guessed that the two circuits used one common fuse. It never occurred to me that would be the common denominator. And it never occurred to me that I had blown a fuse, because after all the gauge was working just fine. 

Hope you enjoyed a laugh while having coffee while reading.

Are there pros and cons of parking/storage of bus with the bags fully aired up or dropped all the way down?

My flooring group is going away the end of this month.
I have a Facebook page- Ernie Ekbergs' Flooring

today while crawling around under the beast I find the exhaust for the aquahot is toast.
My coach has a pipe through the roof.
My question IS should I run the new pipe out the side OR run the extra piping back out the roof ?? Out the side would be way easy through the roof a bear.
INPUT please

J-Way enterprises sells everything for the Oasis system

The CH50 module was $4800, the DM12 Module was $2650, then $1400 for the controller, expansion tank, heaters, wiring etc. Shipping was about $300.- I have $9000 invested and you would pay that if you buy from any dealer.

I can get it on a pallet and wrap it, you arrange pickup and pay for shipping to your destination. With pallet, I think the total weight will be around 175-200 #.

Shipping from 46514- Elkhart, can take it to my brother's shop and have a lift truck to load for carrier once paid.

Cross posted and advertised locally. Auction may end early and a private deal is likely.....don't snooze and loose....i have seen one of these system advertised 4 years ago..only once. These are better than Aquahot and cheaper.

For a Guru fellow member I would do $5500 even and you pick up or have it shipped.

Some of you know that I am a grease magnet. Must be my superpower. 

Anyhoo, I stumbled onto these, and I must say they are TERRIFFIC for getting grease off skin and other things that might have gotten an unintended dose. I can also say with first hand experience it works for paint, glue, and ATF.

They are not cheap like paper towels, but oh so worth it. I got mine at Lowes.
