[A/S] So MANY Questions! Where to start?!
Having "shown off" w/ my repairs, I'm honor-bound to display my
ignorance. :> [=BG =big grin]
What does that big 5-digit number on front & back mean?!
This No-Gray-Tank was...a surprise. I'll bet SOMEONE has come up w/
a nifty-jiffy way to add one [he says hopefully...]
I'm in need of those hand-turned bolt-downs which were used both on
the rear compartment that holds the septic valve'n'stuff, and on the
Solar Guards [of my vintage; I see others w/ a diff. type latch-
down]. ANYONE?
W/ the single battery tray in the "One Stop Center" of older models,
has anyone figured a really good location for an add'l. battery? {I
like under the front couch - hey, all modern batteries are SEALED,
right?] [rolls eyes] :>
I was...stunned...at the replacement cost of the plastic lens covers
for the 4-bulb overheads. 25 bucks? -yer kiddin', right?! Holy
smokes. Or is there a cheaper source?
In addition to the water-purifying filter, I have an addl. smaller
one -just a metal screen inside- between fresh tank & pump. Is that
for sand & sediment? What's the clean-out process & interval? [I
know some jokester just HAS TO reply: "When It Don't Pump Water No
More!!!"]
Do these acrylic rockguards really, REALLY guard against rocks?
{W/o breaking, I mean.] How about in [sigh] freezing weather?
Also re: freezing weather [I admit it, I've become a wimp about
solder-repairing copper pipes :> ] - if one uses catalytic or
electric heaters, instead of my holy-smokes-dang-antique-still-works-
furnace, does that endanger the pipes that run from pump down to
bathroom at end of trailer?
What's the "big" SignalStat built into alum. skin on the starboard
side for?! {i KNOW it's a durn light! I mean: what function was so
important, to build it INTO the skin?]
My A/S says "Land Yacht" one place, "Sovereign" another,
and "International" in still another.
C'mon! What is it, REALLY?!
:>
More Dumb Questions Surely To Follow, :-)
Thanks for your patience.
