I'm trying to remember the small issues I had when I first got mine. And I want to write those down in case I need them later. For those readers with no interest in Planar heaters, you may want to skip this... 1- Fuel knob is unmarked as to which way to turn it to open or close. If I remember...

I use zip ties to prevent turnbuckles from turning. I think of the screw threads of the end fittings as a ramp and the body of the turnbuckle (the center part) 'wants' to follow the ramp in the loosening direction as it's bounced about. It's only friction that prevents that. Locknuts seem to...

Something a little different... We've been playing with a portable diesel heater in our Transit van. We used it on a five-week trip to Texas last winter and a four-week trip to Quebec in October. While I'm very glad to have it, there are tradeoffs (more on that below). It's basically a...

Boy, the battery manufacturing industry is so confusing. I just spent an hour going down the rabbit hole and don't quite know what I can conclude from it... First, this article supposedly tells us the history of Durastart... North40 Outfitters article about DuraStart It gives us factory...

Tip for anyone viewing the video: If you click on the 'Watch on YouTube' button, you can then move the video forward or backward a frame at a time to get the best view. Use the period key ( . ) to go forward and the comma key ( , ) to go backward. (Also-- you can use the J key to jump back 10...

The RV Works guy (Darren Koepp) just put up an interesting video about troubleshooting an apparent sail-switch problem with a Suburban NT-20SQ. That furnace should be very similar to the NT-16SE in this thread.

Well this isn't good.... If I understand what I'm seeing on the Garmin Forum, preset messages as we know them are going away. They being replaced by "Check Ins". Presets are the 3 'preset messages' we can create in our account to send a fixed-content message (like "I'm OK") to a list of...

Back-pocket info if you can't come up with anything else (and if it's the right one)... This gasket? Dometic fridge door gasket for CR080, part number 42-091-091GS01 The web site is Australian but I see they ship to the US. After putting the item into the cart, I went to the cart and put in...

If you determine you do need a replacement tank, you might give Plastic-Mart a call. I say this after reading the bottom section of their web page where they say they're an authorized dealer for El Monte Plastics tanks. If they can't get one from El Monte, they may have a cross-reference to...

re: Furnace removal.... You may have already seen this but I'll go ahead and attach it here for future readers of the thread. Furnace removal instructions are on page 6 of the Suburban RV Furnaces Service and Training Manual (2015 edition) NT-12/16/20SE/SEQ 1. Turn off gas and power, then...

There's a new Federal public lands pass. This one is called the Military Lifetime pass and it's a new one in the series of 'America The Beautiful' recreational passes many of us are familiar with. It's free and it provides free entrance to public lands administered by multiple Federal...

It's hard to say whether the set-screw fix applies to your fridge's serial number. RV appliances tend to have a long production run and changes are made over the years so it may or may not apply. I'd try calling Norcold to see what they have to suggest on the overcooling issue. And I'd ask...

I don't know if you've seen this but the PDX RV web site has these publications for the Norcold N323.... N323 Manuals Take a look at the third one down and see what you think.... Norcold Refrigerator Model N323 Correction of Over Performance Also- I believe page 4 of the Service Manual...

I don't think this is an important point but the discussion of cell vs satellite transmission of an Inreach message reminded me of something..... The recently-announced new Inreach device called the "Inreach Messenger" works in conjunction with a new app (also called 'Messenger') to...

And if you do happen to want a quick-release jack system, consider this... cvant's post in "Quick removal camper jacks?" thread Note that cvant thoughtfully included attachments with drawings with dimensions and provided part numbers for the shoulder screws and nylon locking nuts. That info...

The Rieco-Titans on my 2001 Hawk are the c-ring ones. Those came with it. I used them to load the camper onto my older (2001) F150 by bolting them directly to the camper's jack brackets. When I replaced the F-150 with a 2013 Tundra, I added 1/4" aluminum extension plates. I don't quite...

The My RV Works guy (Darren Koepp) recently put up the best YouTube video I've seen on how a KIB tank monitor works. "KIB" refers to the manufacturer, KIB Electronics of Elkhart, Indiana (now merged with American Technology Components, also of Elkhart). I"m not sure if it's still the case, but...

Well, it’s Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend. We’re on the road again, this time in Quebec. We boondocked last night in Baie-Comeau…. the Quebec end of the Trans-Labrador Highway… and enjoyed smoked and grilled salmon at Pecherie Manicouagan. We’re not going up the Trans-Lab this time...

Stan tells us about this problem in the following video.... (I have the video starting at the 1:30 mark) Propane Tanks use review

A possibility... Try the Facebook link below (it works for me but I'm not sure it will work for everyone) Click on the second photo to see a video Stan made about freeing up a sticky part in the mixing valve. Outside-shower-valve fix

Garmin has announced a new device in the Inreach line called the Garmin Inreach Messenger. The DC Rainmaker channel on YouTube has a pretty good overview. Ray also has thoughts on Inreach versus the recently-announced iPhone14 satellite messenger feature. Features- - 28-day battery life...

LOL... that's terrific. And thanks to Bigfoot Dave for pointing out that there's a ketchup-vs-gravy controversy. Personally, I like 'em the way they are but I hereby resolve to investigate this topic further. Also-- I was curious whether I might find them here in PA as there were Cornish...

Re: Android... Android to support satellite communications in time for the Pixel 8 article from last week

Well, that's a bit of a surprise... In today's September 2022 Event broadcast, Apple announced the iPhone14 will be able to send emergency messages via satellite. -- The phone display will give you a satellite finder and a graphic display for you to keep the phone pointed toward the satellite...

I'm jealous! I see your avatar says you're in Jay. We loved our drive through that area in the Fall of 2019. We had wandered north up VT 100 from the Green Mountains of southern Vermont because our map showed it as a dotted route-- a scenic drive. We were bound for Maine but the drive north...
