Subject I hadn't thought about in years. I have air over hydraulics. No air brakes lock.

Don't work for me. Someone has to fix mine for me.

lippert builds drv chassis to drv specs. This discussion brings to mind a story. Years ago I worked on a maintenance job and we basically done what was needed. A part of the plant had many changes over the years. Upgrades and additions had added lots of weight to the building. So engineers had us go in and add braces to the steel. We tore out walls, welded in cleats and bolted steel. Well we should take a lesson from them. We add more and more in our campers and never consider the weight specs of the unit. Now we on this forum are more informed than the masses of rv owners. I dare say over half of rvs are overloaded and some severely. I am surprised there are not more failures.

I don't care what you get. I was just trying to give you something to make this work.

Glenn, how is your retirement home coming along?
Kinda on standstill just now. Going to have to go to work and make some money. Septic is going to be $9250 and that includes permits. could borrow it but don't want to go in dept.
-
There are some youtube videos of them. they work well and cleaning is simple. They are power hungry. also make a gas model. They are costly though. Less than lots of septic systems though. Search youtube for Ambition Strikes, burring our poop.
-
They make inscerting toilets and compost toilets. No septic needed.
-
They would have been beneficial in my line of work. Respirators and glasses don't work.

I envy people that can use contacts. I tried many pairs and never could see well with them. See decent with glasses

I never understood why the code was changed to eliminate the requirement for a drip-leg at each appliance. I opened the drip-leg on my 30G LP water heater here at home, it was dry and empty after 56 years, but i'm keeping it JIC.
I had a new 120,000btu LP furnace installed, no drip-leg was installed. We'll see what happens.
Ray, i believe the original owner must have left system open and it was in Huston area so lots of humidity. It should not have happened under normal conditions.

I hate to tell you, but it doesn't get better as the years go by. I was on duty as a driver in our community today 8 hours, most of the time spent waiting for someone. I am tired like I had actually worked all day.
Think it had a lot to do with me being rather laid back for the last year. Just go on daily walks. Got out of shape.

I posted some time back about rust clogging my orifice in my furnace. I am not traveling anymore so today I abandoned the steel lines and ran 1/2" copper tubing. I ty waped it to the steel lines. Did find rust and fluid in the lines. Most of this was where the tee was for the furnace. I added a drip leg at the end of the line which goes to hot water heater and stove. This area is close to axles so clearance not problem. I was concerned about a drip leg at furnace tee. Could hang on something. Once get on my property, about 10 miles away, may add one. be easy to do. I am surprised how tired I got doing this.

I have a Chromebook.

I carried a Smart when we traveled. Great grocery getter and cheap to operate

wife and I are not traveling now. So we got a local physician together. He has his own practice. Told us we will never get a bill from him. If Medicare doesn't pay all he absorbs it. Nice to know. They are several to choose from here. A friend of ours recommended him. We are pleased so far. If we need a specialist he sets it up. My early life as a welder exposed me to asbestos so chest x-rays yearly is way of life.

actually my solar does more than charge just batteries. My solar also powers my rv. As of now I have power going to my batteries and powering my rv. Batteries just receiving power and supply 12v. I just need some more battery. my acs pull my battery pack down about 3:00 am.

I never consciously hung up my keys. I just let Dave drive me wherever I wanted to go until one day I realized I hadn't driven for about five years. I no longer trust myself to do so now. My sense of space when backing up is shot.

My wife is about the same. She has her own car and I have to keep a charger on it so battery don't die. She hasn't drove it for a year now.

We also upgraded our unit and keep unlimited plan. We bought ours from Best buy.
-
All I have used for years are mini splits. Upgraded to that and never want another roof top rv unit.

They have to get the national dept down. They can't agree how. But this is a political discussion which is not allowed

I haven't used a water pressure regulator in many years. Did early in our journey but found out not needed.
-
Unit will not work without 12v volts.

That could cause a problem with an auto shift. I did not set brake and shutdown truck. Would not go in gear after that. Had to get it pulled to engage in gear.

Been post in HDT area today
Trailer Breakaway Switch
in HDT

Works real good too. I lost air once on my truck due to a valve bypassing. It only went to trailer brake system though. All 3 axles locked down. electric never worked this good.
