Anyone tried portable tankless hot water heater?
frontboat replied to Nana Banana's topic in Coach ApplianceTech Issues
i looked into them and found a lot of unhappy customers so I just replaced my old tank with a leak but a new one that fit right in, The problem with them is the unstable water flow. I have heat on demand water in my house and it is fine but for RV i went traditional. -

Time you took taking pictures gooda fixed damned thing. -
Yep for sure. I was told to use Shell Rotella 10w-40 diesel oil for my 22re as it is heavier oil that these engines prefer. Keeps that timing chain all greasy. People at jiffy lube keep trying to synth me but I insist that the 'ole guy told me to use this so this is what i am using,' last trip was 2500 miles and it used 1/2 cup of oil. got 130 ,500 miles on it so far. But rear end leaks about 1/2 quart every 800 miles

Toyota motorhomes. How many still out there ?
frontboat replied to Tahoe Toyota's topic in General Discussion
There are lots in California. When I was in San Diego 2 years ago there were 5 in same RV park. Lots in SW USA too. Minnesota too I think as I met 4 people with them in Arizona. AS long salt doesn't rust them. I'm purely guessing but i would say 40,000 still around in some some shape. Tough little buggers I tell ya. -
Must be Hawthorne effect but just getting up on roof and farting around and I tried it again and it ran fine for over 20 minutes. I got cold and shut it off but it was running off my Honda 3000 inverter generator this time and there was no cycling just pure cold air. Signed confused https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect

Well now I know what that is I guess so now I did find out where the capacitors are but there are three of them and I cannot find any model or serial number on this thing even though I have the manual so I'm not too sure I think it's probably 13,000 BTU but at any rate I'm just went out and plugged it in for fun and it came on and was running for so I got everything apart the inside panel whatever and yeah so I don't know what the hell's going on all I did was clean a bit of stuff I owed and open the top up there on the compressor to see what was under there. Thank you very much for tips.

It is same wire I been using for last 3 years and it was plugged into the local park I go to. I tried 4 different plugs and it did same thing. It knocked off breaker. Last one it ran for 1.5 hours then just died out - breaker blown again. Then I tried it at home tonight and same thing, When it starts to kick in for AC it kicks off breaker. So fan works but when I put the dial to cold it slows down and kicks the breaker at the house or wherver I plug in. cord is 12 guage i think and 20 feet to the plug in.?

Did this in Tucson last spring just before I drove back through Pandemic America. 2700 miles and no leaks but wondering where to start without getting into mission creep. It might be dipped down a bit on the drivers side as I can hardly see a stop light while at the stop line ? Thanks for looking. This tap is great but pretty trashing I know but it got me home safe and dry. -
Hydro Flame Furnace Direct Spark Ignition
frontboat replied to Ctgriffi's topic in Coach ApplianceTech Issues
is there a replacement for this heater? wondering as mine is getting old well 87 but it still works ok. -
No I have not yet checked the belts. I am not driving the rig much these days due to lockdown here in Quebec but I will check them for sure. Thanks to all for your feedback and tips. I also heard adding some belt dressing to belts might help but i do see a small leak down there but I just drove it back from arizona a month ago 2700 miles and it only took an extra spoon of oil. so its aint much for sure. but I like to keep it well maintained.

I am down a quart of rear end oil per 1500 miles and wondering if I should be concerned (other than the pollution). I have an 1987 Toy Slumber Queen model that is R22e automatic. I called the local mechanic who fixed my trany leak last year and he got nothing come up on his computer for parts? Thanks in advance

I replaced my ATwood water heater this spring. I bought it online at a place in Texas, forget the name but they shipped it free. It was easy to replace. Not worth replacing just the tank. I looked at various options and ventless heaters but glad I went the traditional route - it was a plug and place effort and happy with the result. I just bought the cheapest manual type and I didn't want to draw any extra power and mess with wiring. I gotto go outside and light it and then it runs fine unless I need to move the rig. so i shut her down and move on man. Good luck Here is where I bought mine https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-appliances/rv-water-heaters/atwood-rv-water-heater-parts
