If the pan is correctly plumbed to drain, putting screws in it with perhaps some caulking to seal them shouldn't hurt anything imho. The way I look at it, the pan is meant to minimize damage as much as possible and chances are you'll notice if it's wet and take immediate action. This is also...

The dyer vent was the thing I was most paranoid about. Best I can recommend is don't be in a hurry, make sure you're at least 95% confident there aren't any studs (Zircon metal stud finder, don't trust the sticker!) and use the small drill method once you find the spot you think is right to...

Ironically planning a possible trip to Austin this Feb... be careful what you wish for, I have no idea if that pump idea will work and hope I never have to find out if it does. The moisture relay does work, I can drop water on the sensor and it will fire up the pump, now whether the pump will...

I've researched for the last couple of months how to install a washer and dryer in an RV and can't express enough how helpful it was to have forums and folks like this who shared their experiences and photos, so I would like to return the favor for the next lucky installer. Vent ----- My BC...

We decided to turn part of our under bed storage into a cat box to free up space from our closet. As a result, we'd need to get under the bed often to freshen up the box and with a couple of memory foam toppers, bedding and pillows it was getting heavy. Enter linear actuators, a car entry remote...

I came across a gentlemen on another forum who built (and well documented) a mini RV out of a cargo trailer and he experimented with taking a transmission cooler + CPU fans and plumbed them in a small loop between his hot water heater intake/outtake to allow the hot water to heat his small...

Thanks for the replies! Sounds like I have a project next week. :) I have a compressor and blow it out when needed for storage so I think I'm going to make that drain disappear and replace it direct with steel braided then! Greg

I have a BC 3900 FLP with the residential fridge and have read several posts about the water lines and winter use. I did notice that my icemaker water line, like everyone has said, runs from the kitchen sink cold down and out of the trailer then back in under the slide-out. Now ironically the...

I took an Arduino added a temp/humidity sensor and connected it to my wifi which is bridged to my cell MiFi and wrote a mac server app and iphone/apple watch app to monitor it with push notifications. A bit of effort but in the long run cheaper than a monitoring services. There is also a device...
