Today I noticed the microphor toilet not keeping water in the bowl. Poured a little veggie oil but that didn't do anything. Later noticed the gasket on the flapper looked like it was unseated in its groove. I shut off the water and was able to push it back in place and also poured some vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes then scrubbed the surface with a toothbrush to remove the calcium build-up. I also put a little vaseline on the gasket surface.
Just glad we caught it before we flushed the gasket down into the tank!

Hi All,

Well I am thinking of attending this august gathering and wanted to know of how much interest there might be in three areas.

First, since most of you like to do your own work, I can offer an Aqua Hot seminar that would include general operation and maintenance plus answers to questions. I can also bring a burner and show how to disassemble and rebuild it too. We could ask Forest or Ashley to donate their coach for describing what and where all the components are and perhaps hold the seminar in front of that coach.

So how many might wish to attend such a presentation?

Second, I have parts with me all the time and would be interested if anyone wished me to perform any type of Aqua Hot service for them. If interested, a hint of what service would insure I show up with enough parts for the requests. A rally special could be offered.

Finally, I can also offer a water vs waterless wash seminar as my very good friend in San Antonio is the inventor and manufacture of Wash Wax All that is used to wash and wax Air Force One and the other squadron planes. If there is any interest in that presentation, I would need to get some items for the show and tell.

So please be so kind as to let me know what, if any, would help you all.

Just joined today, thought I'd make my 1st post/question about something that confuses and frightens the dickens out of me, automotive type wiring/electrical.

I need to wire in a brake controller so I can tow a trailer. I know that Newell provides relays in the front in the passenger compartment, and they connect to the relays in the engine compartment. I do have a 7 wire connecter by the tow hitch, and the brake, turn signals etc are working. I was told Newell has wires that are already in place that run from the front of the coach to the back, true?
That is the extent of my knowledge!
Does it matter what 12v power wire I splice into to power the brake controller?
What do I splice into to enable the brake controller to actuate the connecter in the tow connector? I'm pretty stupid when it comes to electrical, so specifics help if it's possible.
I have a Tekonsha P3 brake controller.
thanks for any help or advice
John

Gang,

When I drive at night, I get a terrible reflection in the drivers side window. My headlights are so bright that the road reflects in the side window and makes it almost impossible to see whats in the mirror.

I tried to get one of those screen protector films made for an iPad. It did indeed cut the reflection, but also made it impossible to see the mirror at all. I need to find some way of killing reflections while remaining clear.

Have any of you guys had a similar problem? Any solution comes to mind?

Cheers,
bill

I am replacing the standard side by side Amana with a new unit. All the parts are in working order, I just have a slow leak and I am tired of fixing it twice a year.

Sooooooooo, if you need ice maker, shelves, drawers, or any other part let me know before the delivery people take it away.

Gang,

I spent the day replacing the radio in my coach. The old unit was a Sony that had a CD changer, XM receiver, and of coarse the radio. I wanted a new radio that was easier to use, and that had the ability to interface directly to my iPhone.

When I looked closely at the dash, it turned out that the old radio mount was broken and flimsy and needed to be reinforced.

The new radio is a Kenwood KDC-X997. I also bought an external amp and the associated SiriusXM radio receiver.

Wow has technology changed! This new receiver has about a dozen different sources of music / talk. (FM, AM, FM digital, iPhone via USB, Bluetooth audio, Pandora, AHA radio, I heart radio, CD, ...)

I used the rear USB connector to run to the co-pilot armrest so that anybody riding with me can control the music and charger their phone.

The install went about as expected. I pretty much used the existing wiring but had to run a power wire for the amplifier. The sound quality is far better than the old Sony and the new system is far more flexible, yet far easier to use.

I cant wait to show it off in SD.

Cheers,
bill

I've googled and googled - anybody know where I can have a very nice campsite sign made for our rig to put out when we park? I don't want wood carving or cartoon like graphics. Thank you!
