Over the past 1.5 days noticed the refrigerator (Dometic 2820) wasn't cooling correctly. Pretty certain it due the the coach being low in the front. The exhaust stack is warming @ the bottom (on electric) so I'm reasonably sure with the front low and the heat being applied to the rear of the coils the ammonia just isn't circulating correctly.

So, I'm going to fire up the coach and level. Do I need to wait a bit to turn the refrigerator back on to let the ammonia 'level' out or just level the coach and turn the refrigerator back on?

BTW, @ least w/20º the Excursion makes a fine refrigerator....

OK you all know what I'm lookin for and I don't mean pretty ladies , I mean compressed air and quiet at that.

You know I want to replace my Thomas 2688TE 44/38 that blows 12psi now instead of 160. so don't be ashamed to get rid of that dusty one you never used taking up extra space where another cooler or bbq would fit. I will give you good cash money for your Tomas or the JunAir 302 or Gast equivalent (I hope Chappell read this so he can publish his model number and source).

So you get the picture... No you don't , Im stuck out here in the desert with no parts anywhere except a truck outfit or very expensive RV Techs that take advantage of us over achievers ( boy , could I ever rant that one) ..

So Hedy went to the movies while I try and find a compressor  since starting the engine to fill the airlines is as painful;l as waiting for the 12v to kick in at 30 lbs just when the Bode door won't close when the dog comes back in a 7am because there is no air left ..AARRGGGHHHH..

Ok, Like I said I'm not looking for donations here just a fair deal of taking a dust gathering , space taking 15 ib box off your hands like yesterday.......  [email protected] 

Peace    

The gremlins got me after installing all new fittings , hose and check valve the system holds air just fine but only when I start the engine. The Thomas compressor runs and sounds normal and all other systems seem fine or were replaced except the actual compressor itself....

So can I get a model number of a jun-air or gast that's quiet and fits in the bay under the copilot  PLEASE ? and a source please..THanks

Howdy all,

hi all,

do you guys have any suggestions on what to use for exhaust gas venting using hose for the coach and my truck?  

i have looked online and you can find ones that are like 100 bucks a foot, but that is not what i am looking for.  i am talking about running it about 35 to 40 feet.

Low reserve low miles.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL......
MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS FINALLY COME TRUE IN THE COMING YEAR .......

After 19 years, my microphor toilet is history.  The seals are blown and water was everywhere.  I am replacing it with a Aria Classic with no air nor 12v.

Since the toilet and the exit hole is directly above the tank, I'd like to drill a new 2 or 3 inch hole in the tank inbetween the existing 2 1.5 inch holes (see photo).  The one on the left is routing the old toilet waste line  The one on the right is for a vent.

My big question is . . . is it advised?  Will the new hole severely weaken the tank in this area since there are already 2 holes nearby?  The new proposed hole gives a straight shot down with no bends.  What do I need to know?  Thanks for your input!!!!

PS. I do have the china bowl in bone. It is in great shape. I'm in the Portland Oregon area.

There's a 40' 76 needing a motor in the Columbus, IN area for $3,500. Pretty sure that Retro would make anyone interested a great deal on the Cummins 555 that he took out of his coach. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/rvs/4782858093.html

howdy all,

i am close to being ready to paint the inside of the shop. the walls i am going to do a semigloss white.

the question is the ceiling. being 20 foot high and 4600 sq foot of un interrupted ceiling, the painter is suggesting doing a flat ceiling paint to hide imperfections.

i will be running cars/newell inside as i work on them some. if i do flat, will the ceiling turn black from exhaust? not that i would wash 20' ceilings if they were semigloss or satin.

so, if it was you and the walls were semigloss, what would you do for the ceiling?

Flat

Satin

Semigloss
