Excellent reply! If people are living in a Recreational Vehicle, they cannot expect the same treatment as a resident in a mobile home with wheels and towing tongue removed.

About 18 years ago a hard blow to my head affected my vision that afternoon, so I called my eye Dr. He said come in immediately. When I arrived he took be right in, examined my eyes, then rushed out of the room. He returned a few minutes later with a business card of an eye surgeon and appt. the next day. That Dr. examined my again then told me their surgery room was ready; I had detached retinas in both eyes from the blow. Two months later I was recovered. Later I had cateract surgery, both eyes, and the implants so far don't require cleaning with a laser but my near vision has declined to where I require reading glasses. During my annual eye exam about 5 years ago the Dr. determined I had border-line high pressure in my eyes. He immediately put me on eye drops to control internal eye pressure. Now the internal pressure is within the normal range and holding steady. He said there is no solution after one develops Glaucoma and I'll be on those eye drops the rest of my life. Bottom line to this is, your eyes are nothing to screw around with_ unless you don't mind blindness. Spend the money and time before it's too late.

Have you got a non-contact AC voltage tester? If yes, is there 120V at the converter? When you turned the breaker back on, did you first push it hard toward the off position to reset the breaker? You will feel the spring rebound when doing that/

I'd begin with checking the classifieds here. You might find one already all set for towing 4-down, which would save you approx. $3,000 in tow bar and base-plate expenses. If yo don't find one advertised here, check other RVing forums. Now if you intend to purchase a new vehicle for towing, this will identify those acceptable for towing: https://www.fmca.com/towing-guides-towing-four-wheels-down HOWEVER! Do not depend on any online towing guide to be 100% accurate. The specific vehicle owners manual(can be found online), under recreational towing is the final authority.

It it's been mentioned already I'll repeat it. The surface area of LP is the limiting factor when converting to gas/vapor. A 20# cylinder has a small surface area, and at these low temperatures often cannot boil enough to supply the required gas/vapor. A solution to this is, warm the cylinder/tank. Heating "pads" are made for this purpose. That is another reason why 250G and larger tanks are horizontal instead of upright. You could have a 1,000G vertical tank that will not have the surface area to supply gas/vapor in enough quantity to supply, say a grain dryer for a silo. reference: https://propanewarehouse.com/helpful-information/lp-gas-properties/

Wind-chill temperature only affects living tissue. Actual temperature affects everything else.

Where IS that like button? As usual Kirk is exactly right.

I'm waiting until some engineer figures out how to engage regenerative braking while being flat-towed.

13'6" East of the big river, 14' West of the Mississippi. but at least 1 route must be 16'. Design standards require 16' reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_standards

Listen closely at the 37 second mark, he says it's important the end is cut square. Later he says +or- 15°, it can't be both unless he is qualifying that cheaply made tubing cutter is only that accurate. As to disconnecting tubing, I use an open-end wrench to hold the collar in while removing the tubing. I always use a new O-ring when replacing the tubing too, the old one usually is flat-spotted where it griped the tubing. That has been discussed here previously.

OK, my bad, Flovent/Fluticasone is a old cortacosteriod. I remember now, I was on that 20 years ago, and continued until Dr. put me on Advair, then Trelegy when it came out. He's had me on so many different stuff I can't remember them all. No recovery from chemical-induced COPD; he just keeps me going.

I read it as did lappir. That is only one brand of this type inhaler, I know of 3 different brands and have used them all. None of them helped me more than the others, so Express-Scripts sends me the lowest cost brand. This is classed as a "rescue" inhaler to carry on your person, but we are told to carry and use the expansion/mixing chamber between the inhaler and mouth for best results. Carrying both is not convenient. Medicare is attempting to control and reduce prescription medication costs to benefit citizens; and IMO are using Canada as a model. You see the cost of this medication in the link Gary provided. I pay $14 for a 3-month supply,and Tricare For Life picks up the remainder (via federal taxes). That makes it easy to see why Medicare is attempting to reduce prescription drug prices.

Yep, the electric lift pump only runs for 30+ seconds to prime the fuel system, then the gauge needles stop swinging, signifying the system is primed. Then I start the engine, which used to turn over perhaps 3 times. After Cummins installed the latest ECM upgrade it takes longer between key to start, and ignition. The gauge needles used to swing 4x,and the low air buzzer sounded with needle swing, after the ECM upgrade they now swing 2x, with no buzzer sound.

Thank you Gary. I'll keep this information in mind for next open season.

You guys are over-thinking this UV light thing. Even if it was necessary, the first task is to determine if the tank material will be affected.

Unless a water tank drain is installed directly into the tank bottom it cannot be completely drained. A side drain hole requires about ½" above the tank floor.

I cannot now find my reference link, but I'm sure I read that on the Cummins insite website. You're right, nothing extra required for this function. My personal experience is with my ISC 8.3. Always before the engine would start almost immediately when the key was turned. Back in 2020 We were enroute to Mayo Clinic and had engine problems that required my MH be towed to Cummins Rock Island. The ECM was so old their computers could not connect and read information, so they removed the ECM and took it to their computer room where they had an old computer that could connect After all that they wiped my ECM clean and installed the current programming. From then on my engine will not start for about 10 seconds or more after the key is turned, and the oil pressure gauge immediately jumps to 80 PSI.

Paccar must rely on the Cummins feature that will not allow an engine start until the ECM "sees" oil pressure. I know I do, I never pre-fill an oil filter.

Humm, thanks for the information. So I assume your private advantage plan works with TFL? BTW, did you watch the Rose Bowl parade today? When the armed forces float went by they were playing Anchors aweigh, impressive.

Nope not since an adjoining property owner upstream sold off lots and made a housing subdivision. Since I sold the cattle and horses only wildlife drink from the stream. That bottom abounds with deer, turkey, and raccoons today. BTW, the creek originates from a spring on that neighbors property. You've peaked my curiosity, I'll test the stream water when it warms up some, to see what is actually in that water now.

Whatever insurance you have, TFL always pays last. Express-scripts co-pay is $14/3 mos supply, for generic brands eff Jan. 1 2024. DW is on Eliquis for a blood clot in her heart; Express-scripts charges $54 for a 3-month supply,much much less than civilian ins. I cannot fathom any of the "advantage plans" being better than standard gov. Medicare and TFL. I spent a month in hospital and nursing home, with kidney dialysis 3X week. I never received a bill for any medical related expenses.

I went on a hunting/fishing trip in the Beartooth mountains of WY. The Guide told us to only drink from our canteens, never drink from the mountains streams as it had a bacteria in it that caused severe intestinal problems. Meanwhile back at my small ranch i always drank from the stream/creek that ran through the bottom land without any ill effects. I just remembered to drink upstream of where the cow plops were.

agesailus addressed water quality very well. To simplify this for the general public, the CDC published this: https://www.cdc.gov/safewater/publications_pages/chlorineresidual.pdf Chlorine dissipates from exposure to air and light, so if you add 1 tsp standard chorine/household bleach per gallon of water in your tank it will keep it safe for drinking for at least a month. You can buy a swimming pool test kit to test for residual chlorine in your onboard tank, but IMO that is overkill. Personally I normally keep my 100G water tank full year; sometimes it sits for 3-4 months and when I've tested it the chlorine residual is still around .2ppm. I do something different though, I use Sodium Dichlor instead of household bleach, which is a different subject.
