Can't really answer the question. But I would think that the wall insulation is the same front to rear, omitting the insulation on the back part of the wall would cause really problems with pinch-rolled laminated walls. The floor and roof are different issues. While the roof probably is...

I have run a 15k BTU unit A/C from a 50 ft extension cord to a 15 amp outlet. Did this for a week, but I shut the A/C off before running anything else. This is not recommended, but at the time I didn't have a choice. That was 6 yrs ago and the unit is still working fine. Don't know about a...

I agree it would probably work, until it suddenly didn't work one day. Magnetic tape has very little magnetic power compared to a real magnet. I've had those magnetic frig. signs fall off the door by just letting the frig. door close normally. The other problem with velcro or magnetic tape...

Too difficult to drill a magnet, so on those 1st ones, I used two pop rivets on either side of the magnet. I have changed the design by using magnets that are used for magnetic name badges, they have two round magnets glued to a thin metal plate. Very ez to drill a single hole thru the center...

When the clear plastic ones broke, I purchased the "better" black plastic design, which broke during installation. Did a search for other options and didn't like the velcro idea or anything else. So, I designed and built my own latch that is magnetic. It sticks out only 3/8" when not in use...

Here is a link, http://www.picturetrail.com/dayle1, then look in the Cruiser album. I did this a few yrs ago, in cold weather I may get condensation on the smaller vent portion of the windows, but not on the fixed glass area.

If replacing the windows ends up being too much expense and work, there is another option as a partial solution. For the fixed glass portion of each window, you can install rigid plexiglas as the second pane. I did this on six windows for a cost of about $200, this included the large dining...

Kev, Thanks for keeping us informed, thought you might be too busy and tired to get on the internet right away. Can't wait to see the pics. Enjoy the new home.

The Mor/ryde IS is similiar to torsion axles as there is no equalizer, so towing out of level will put more weight on one axle than the other. I have had the IS system on my fiver since it was 3 months old ('04 model) and it has been great. Back in August I had a tire failure, but the alarm...

But above the black plastic is the real floor structure, meaning the floor joist with insulation between them and the decking on top of the joist. Anyway, this is where the floor insulation is placed. There is limited value in insulating the entire belly area between the Coroplast and the...

Here is a dumb question, the Big Horn has 50 amp service, right? Well that means it is already 240V service thru the shore power cord, and the 50 amp main breaker is a double pole breaker. Now everything beyond that is 120V circuits on one hot leg or the other. As I think about this, I assume...

Found this comment from 2008 on another forum regarding ins. for US fifth wheel and truck. "Insurance - Camptons in the UK are about the best for Insurance as my rig costs £430 a year fully comprehensive for Pick-up and Trailer (they class it as a Motorhome) a survey from Niche Marketing where...

Re: UK Insurance Companies....Mmmm Why hijack a thread?

Can't solve the entire problem, but one thing I do know, the pin 2 blue "brake" wire in the US is from the truck brake controller and supplies current to the brake magnets while the UK pin 6 red brake/stop wire is just for the brake lights. So, these are totally different so it is not as simple...

A few months ago, we decided to go with the Verizon 5G data plan. So far with 2 laptops and home bound due to wife's surgery, we have still not come close to using the full 5G. I'm using a Cradlepoint PHS300 personal wifi hotspot so both laptops are untethered. Cost was about $100. The...
