    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Outdoor shower help

    I have a water heater but my shower quit working a few years ago. I took the valve off and disassembled it and found check valves inside that basically worked to block any cross connection from hot side to cold. While taking it apart I lost a spring so I removed the other spring and reassembled...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Maybe Crazy Camper mount thought

    Does the pin come up into the floor or just welded to the plate? Looks to me like you do this for a living or did you have the plate cut by a shop? I really like it so now I am rethinking again about buying the eye bolts

    OK so maybe I'm not crazy, just not the first guy to think of it. That is exactly what I had thought it would look like!

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Maybe Crazy Camper mount thought

    The thought was just one single attach point on the bottom of the camper that would be pretty close to center of the camper, Back under the camper drop it down, engage the pin and your ready to go. After more thought some of the negative things come to mind like: Trying to line up a square pin...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Maybe Crazy Camper mount thought

    I had to replace my old truck and now thinking about other options for mounting my 07 Hawk on my 15 Chevy. One idea running thru my brain is I have a B&W turn over ball gooseneck hitch in the truck. What if I mounted a pin to the bottom of the camper that lined up with the hitch. Kind of crazy...

    I have an 07 hawk that was on my 05 GMC 2500hd but now looking at replacing the truck with a 2015 Chevy 2500hd. I called the factory and they said all I need to do is raise it up about an inch to fit the newer bed style. Has anybody on here done this or even better have pictures of what you may...

I switched bottles and got the heat going then warmed some old coffee that was on the stove to pour on the...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Water Heater

    Well I tried it a few more times to be sure it was not the lack of Air in the tank but no such luck, the valve definitly needed to be replaced. Not a difficult job at all. About $20 for the valve, remove the heat shield for room to work and took about 10 minutes total time. I have learned a...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Water Heater

    I will try it again and see if maybe it was no air in the tank. sometimes when filling my holding tank I turn on the pump and open the valve to get as much water on board as possible and maybe I let all the air out of the heater tank by doing that. If not I guess it might be time for a new valve...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Water Heater

    On my last trip I fired up the water heater for a nice shower on the last day and when the water came up to temp (not over heated) the relief valve opened up on the top. I don't think it was too hot or over pressured but maybe I have created my own problem. Over the years when I drain my heater...

    on my 07 Hawk I install an anode that has a petcock on it. I drain my hot water tank after every use just open the faucets and the drin valve and it flows out. To capture that water a small tube would work great

    My experiance is just as Paul B said. This thing is great! We cooked a 12 lb bird in 2 hours and it came out great. the next night cooked a pork shoulder roast that came out fantastic.
