Pix of a Mitchell Fishing Hut..... (Post 1 of 2...) (click to enlarge)

On the subject of propane flow restriction..... I just found this 'Not Your Father's Pigtail!' article which explains where the flow-limiting device is and how it works. It's a bit of a slog to read through but I thought it may be interesting to anyone looking for more detail. I believe the...

Aluminess Expedition Kit ?? .

Please tell us more, spudder.... What model furnace? (so I can look for a manual) Has it fired up successfully recently? If so, can you think of anything that has changed since then? (example- propane refill, batteries went low, etc) Has the furnace been troublesome in the past? Can you...

That surface-mount glass-tube fuse block appears to be something added by a previous owner. I say owner-added due to the way the wires run and the fact that electrical contacts are exposed. (Is there a cover missing?). If possible, I'd contact the previous owner to ask why the fuse block is...

Thanks, Mike. Very interesting discussion. I do have a question. Some of us have truck campers which we bought as minimally-equipped 'shell' models and those don't have 120-volt inlets, AC distribution panels, circuit breakers, etc. But we do occasionally need 120-volt power in the camper...

Sorry to see it didn't work out, agate. Hopefully things will go easier in the Spring. You haven't mentioned it but I presume you have the red/silver master 12v switch in the out position when you are plugged in to shore power. This DLS Tutorial video says the yellow tag or spacer is there in...

Hi, HekMek... Your post brings to mind this Shocked By My FWC thread from 2015.... .

Welcome, Bigskyxj... Looking forward to your build photos! I imagine you've seen this excellent Keystone Rebuild- Narrow Floor Pack, Redo Interior, Paint Exterior thread but I thought I'd attach it here anyway for those who may not have. Also- post 31 of that thread shows the rear lights...

OK, after looking around some more... I see there's an Android app called Free Campsites which appears to be developed by the same freecampsites.net folks as the web site. But on the iOS app store I don't see Free Campsites. But I do see Free Camping developed by Victor Wickstrom. And I see...

Just checked on my iPad. It's working fine for me. I'm on iOS 11.4 and using Chrome for a browser to go to the web site. I do notice, though, that the bottom of the map says the maps are OpenStreetMap ones, not Google ones so it doesn't make sense to me that you'd be getting a message about...

Often, hold-down kits are sold with MSD (Marine Sanitation Device) versions of porta-potties. This version is intended to change a toilet from a dump-out to a pump-out version. We can see this in the exploded-parts diagram that the difference between models is the pump-out fitting versus the...

On the topic of shore-power in general--- I thought I'd mention two diagnostic tools I find useful for 120-volt (AC) problems in the camper (or around the house)... an outlet tester and a non-contact voltage tester. I keep an outlet tester (like this one on Amazon) on the end of my camper's...

Hello, agate! Given you used to see the little green lights (on the AC outlets, I presume) and no longer do, the problem could be a tripped circuit breaker. That may or may not be the case but it's a good place to start. According to the 2010 owner's manual on the FWC website, it appears you...

I installed the new latch for my 01 Hawk's Philips door screen yesterday. Yep, the 4442-01 is a direct replacement for the original. After my post above, I found a 4442-01 on Ebay from the same Big Pine Key, Florida seller but this listing included two spare springs and shipping for $13.75...

Just a note: An 04 Grandby may have two Iotas--- an Iota IDP-30 'load center' (AC and DC distribution panel) and an Iota DLS-30 charger/converter. I'm not sure that's the case here but I believe FWC was using IDP-30 load centers around that time. If we take a look at wuck's photos in post 7...

This thread reminded me that the screen latch on my '01 Hawk began acting up recently. I believe the spring has weakened and won't push the lever back up high enough to engage. I can get it to latch if I remember to lift up on the lever as I close the screen door but I'd rather have it operate...

I had an Inreach sync problem today in trying to sync my Delorme Explorer from the Sync app on my MacOs laptop. When attempting to sync, the message "Server Error: Unable to authenticate.... (something-something)" (sorry, I didn't write it down but that's the gist of it). I tried quitting it...

We saw a Hawk/Tundra rig this morning in Baxter State Park, Maine. We were both camped in Trout Brook Farm campground but he/she must have come in late and we were leaving early so I had no chance to contact the owner. Very nice rig... modern Hawk with a driver-side window on a newish blue...

I don't have an Atwood combination LP/CO detector so I don't have direct experience with it. However.... Maybe I missed it but I don't recall discussions in any of the false-alarm threads of what the LEDs and audible alerts and alarms do when these problems occur. Offhand, I'd think...

I recently ran onto this way to make hangers to put up a tarp or anchor something to the track. Make your own Awning Track Hangers thread from PopUp Portal If you don't want to make your own, they're sold on Ebay as 'Tarp Trackers'--- 8 for $15, free shipping. Note that they're for 3/8"...

At 22:45 he mentions pulling out 'the Readylight'. This graphic from the ReadyLight web site is a pretty good summary of it... (Click to enlarge) I also see it has a USB port. At 16:47 he says he has his phone but no way to charge it. Perhaps an argument to put a spare charger cable in the...

I emailed Iota Tech Support a few days ago on the issue of why the positive-line fuse is required. My questions (using a DLS-45 as an example): ------------------------------- " IOTA Product: DLS-45 Question: Could you explain why a type III circuit breaker is needed in RV applications...

Also- If you don't have the Yakima tracks, PokyBro has a good summary in this Instructions for Installing Yakima... thread. And, depending on what you're planning to put up there, you may also want to read about the artificial rain gutters option in this recent Moving headliner to install...

This Thermostat Warm-Up thread essentially says the White Rogers 1E78-140 has a problem with displaying the correct temperature when it's turned on in cold weather and the Honeywell TH1100DV1000 doesn't have that problem. I'm surprised to see the posts about the old-style (Atwood mechanical)...
