yes what system? how are you powering it? do you have shore power available or are you using battery power? are you concerned about the alarm draining the batteries?

Just ordered a Coleman Mach 8330-3862 digital thermostat. Got tired of the 6+ degree temp swings. It was too hot when the AC finally kicked in and my feet were freezing when it kicked back off. Hope to install before our next trip.

Yes the digital Is great for better regulation. Also airflow and where your vents are directed can have an effect. Direct a vent at your thermostat and you will get shorter cycles but more often. That will even out the temperature also.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the thermostat.

Fortress Security Store. Got the Vea 3G/4G GSM deluxe pet kit. Costs 249 but on sale for 15% off and free shipping. Got it in 3 days. Think I paid 212.

The panel and sirens require power. The panel has battery backup but don't know how long it would last. I am always plugged in so power not much of an issue. I'm sure it would last a few days. Very small power draw. We'll see. Seems to be a good unit. During testing I received the text notice almost immediately on my cell phone.

Today I installed 3 MaxxAir II vent covers and washed our new Windjammer 3006WK. Tomorrow, it gets waxed. Next week is the maiden voyage.

I struggle with how some people feel the need to violate others and get away with it. Most important thing is no one in the family was hurt but amazing what we have to go thru to secure our own property, simply blows my mind.

After a year, but very few camping days I removed the Dometic 311 toilet and replaced it with the Dometic 320 (much heavier) standard height. The 311 is a great toilet, virtually self cleaning but did not fit my body part. The elongated bowl on the 320 solved that problem. Someone will get an almost new 311 with wood enamel seat very cheap.

Replaced the cheesy closet door latch that I broke by breathing on it too heavily. The manufacturer is proud of those silly things.

We removed the access panels and found the pump..made sure the inlet and outlet connections were tight but still no pressure from the water pump..

Can’t believe the amount of sawdust and scraps I found.. I ordered a replacement pump from Amazon just in case..

Hmmm .. water overflowed out of the freshwater tank turned on pump and let it run.. on board water filter will just not fill , outside shower just sputters.. I’m thinking of connecting the water side of the inlet to the pump to a air compressor and try to blow some air into the tank just to see if there is a blockage in the line to the pump

The pump runs, correct?
There has to be an air leak as the pump should self prime unless there is an air leak.
Try removing the pump inlet and connect a hose to it. Put the other end in water and make sure it self primes and puts out pressure and cuts off.
If all works well, you have eliminated the pump as the problem and now can work finding which connection has a bad seal.

Seriously, you have an air leak at a connection between the tank and the pump.
Take apart each connection and use some Teflon tape to seal each as you reassemble.
The compressed air idea is bad. You can damage the pump valves.

Check the small round filter to make sure it is not loose or broken.
