I do run the bleach water into my hot water heater when sanitizing the fresh water system, leaving the anode rod in. After leaving the bleach water in for a couple of hours, I drain the hot water heater by removing the plug/anode rod and refilling with fresh water. I have done this for 20 years, fir...

When I ran into a similar problem, I called Kim at the factory. Unfortunately, he was not very sure the fresh water system would hold up at that temperature. We changed plans and did NOT travel to the place intended. Now, if you want to try some things, here is what we do when temperatures dip into ...

First, a word of warning: I have never owned a unit with a slideout. So, what I am about to say may be pure garbage! First, look in the owner’s manual, which I hope the seller gave you. Maybe you have forgotten to throw a certain switch or something. Second, check for a blown circuit breaker. You ma...

We have not yet dewinterized our Born Free. We probably will not be taking any trips this year, so are wondering if we can just leave the RV winterized through this warm season and next winter. Does the antifreeze break down, or will it still protect the water lines properly for this length of time?

Actually, I had one of these surge guards and had it fail due to water damage. The instructions clearly said to keep the unit upright during rains. Well, while in Canada, one of the pedestals had the plug installed upside down, so we could not get the guard to stay upright. That night it rained fair...

Have you checked for a flipped circuit breaker? Is your coach equipped with an inverter? If so, make sure it is turned on. Your outlets may be wired to that.

Kumquat is NEVER exhausted. Over the winter Kumquat is moved onto the front lawn so the snow plow guy does not have to maneuver around him. This is the first year Kumquat has been moved, as until this year Kumquat was our emergency energy source during power outages. We now have a whole house genera...

I don’t know any facts one way or the other, but it does make your tire look pretty.

Attached is a photo of the Outback controller menus. To find out what the input voltage is: - Press the button under STATUS METERS, then, on the next screen ... - Press the button under METERS, then, on the next screen ... - Press the button under DOWN until you see the “input voltage” screen If you...

We have Firefly and the Outback inverter in our 2017 Spirit. I really don’t think you need a 30 amp circuit to run the inverter. We do not have one and we connect our unit to a 20 amp outlet. We can have problems if we use lousy or long extension cords. The inverter needs to see a minimum voltage (I...

Ed Newman and I have exchanged a few emails in the past few weeks. Here is a link to a topic he posted here recently:

You can try PMing him to see if he has any information. That is how I got in contact with him.

With luck, here is the calendar cover that Ed mentions. Thanks to Ed for emailing it to me.

You might try calling these guys, who are evidently the manufacturers:

They are standard equipment. If you ever need new ones, there are several posts in this forum about where to buy them.

John S., who are “they” that you asked?
