    Cut my hydraulic line

    Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I have decided to open the under belly to locate which slide it attaches to and use the local NAPA to make me a hose. Of course when we are able to travel across the CANADA/USA border without all this testing etc.

    Mounting Paper Towel Holder Under Upper Cabinet

    Thanks for all the advice. My wife and I have decided to bolt it through into the inside of the floor of the upper cabinet with washers and cut off the bolts. We have a tray in there anyways with a 1/4" clearance under it. I will post pictures when we get to it.

    Our shower head mount that hold our Oxygenics Brushed nickel shower head keeps coming loose and before I move it up higher on the wall, I want to know about if there is anything I need to know before hand. I should also probably use the mount that came in the box as well and stainless steel...

    Suburban HW Heater Secondary Switch Outside Seized

    I noticed no hot water on weekend on 120volt. Investigated and the outside secondary switch is stuck in the on position. As well the black housing around the switch appears damaged/cracked. I didn't have time to look into it further but my guess is it shorted out in behind. We are parked full...

    Mounting Paper Towel Holder Under Upper Cabinet

    Looking for advise/recommendation on installing the attach metal paper towel dispenser under my upper corner cabinet over the island. The towel holder will be installed with 2 screws on the one end (see image) so there would be some good leverage if pressure was applied on the other end. The...

    Replacing Southco baggage slam latch

    Well I went ahead and we decided to order in from RVLock. A keyless entry and a keyless slam door for UDC, since I always shut my water off inside with a ball valve when we step out so 1 click of the fob from the vehicle will work. Wife likes the idea of going to bed when I am still up around...
