Is that to be used while camping or just for when it is storage between trips?

My LED light came for the porch light, swapped out the incandescent bulb, now all lights are LED.

I also noted the battery cutoff switch was loose. The dealer put it on with only two screws, the housing had 4 holes. One was tight, one looked like it broke off when they tightened it. When they installed it it was not level either, so I moved it 1/2" up and centered it drilled 4 new holes and secured it the way it was supposed to be in the first place.

-------------------------

Sunday, I added a cat-back exhaust system to the TV and have a K&N air intake coming for Friday.

Not to start an argument... The washable K&N filters let in dirt. OK you wont believe me. Run it 5-10K and wipe you hand inside the tube you will find dirt in the bends. I would have bet against it till I checked my last truck. I would not use it if they were free. Also you can call them if you doubt it.

Have run them on all my vehicles since 1978 and never had a problem. 78 Chevy truck, 81 El Camino, 83 Pontiac GP, 98 Pontiac GP, 95 Silverado, 2000 Silverado, 2003 DeVille, 2005 Silverado, 96 DeVille (TOWTA's old junker). If you clean them and re-oil them like the instructions, they work great, no dirt or dust downstream. Also ran them on fuel injected sprint car. Looking for one for my 2016 Cub Cadet.

We're camping, and it's been on steady, since we got it.
I would have thought, two ac units would pull more moisture out of the air...

First its because of how air conditioners work. They work off temperature only. Too much air conditioning can cool off but not dry off enough. You might get it dryer running only one if you can. It will run longer and pull more moisture out of the air than 2 running less of the time. It's a balancing act.

And

It's because of how "leaky" RVs are. So many small holes to let the outside air in. And the door. Open the door for enough time to go in or out and that is a ton of air. In a house the air mass that comes in via an open door is a very small fraction of total air mass of the house. In an RV an open door to go in or out can dilute a sizeable amount of the air. And if that's not enough problems add the low insulation value in the walls and roof of an RV and it's a wonder we can cool 'em down, or dry them off at all.

The dehumidifier made all the difference in cooling for us.

Wonder what size dehumidifier each of you have and that versus how many cubic feet of space you have. Also HVAC size.

13.5 ac, 30 pint compressor type dehumidifier. Had from Lowes.

Not sure I understand. Is it helping? Humidity dropping? Are you just wondering why it is pulling so much moisture when you have 2 AC units running doing a good job? What size is it? Pints?

I think I beat my own personal record of most questions asked in a single post. What do you think?

No Chrysler products???? Tisk. Tisk. Tisk.

For the record. I was told what to look for. Pulled my new/now used air filter(93 Dodge 5.9l diesel) and got really aggravated. Threw the $60 KN item where it belonged. Just my experience. To quote my old boss(Seal Power piston ring national sales manager). " It isn't the pine knots and rocks that wear out an engine....it's the talcum power dust."

25 pint.
Helping tremendously.
It was so damp in here, but it is almost 100% humidity outside.

Great, thanks for the info. We are thinking of getting one but mostly to use when the camper is parked at home not being used. We have a small camper but sitting here at home it does get humid and we would like to keep it in good shape.

Packing for a four day stay at Nashville North KOA. Friends coming in from Atlanta with their new Tiffin.

If you don't clean, dry and re-oil them as per instructions, I imagine you would get dust, etc, downstream.

The biggest issue with k&n filters happens when people over oil them.
