Redneck hacksaw... I love it!
Started with a power tool. It was too aggressive.Redneck hacksaw... I love it!
Very valid point. Cold cracks from freezing can make a mess out of your floor. But my Landmark Rushmore has linoleum and no issues. Here in Spring Hill FL we do get into the teens so I put the heat on during the cold spells.Will that Allure tile withstand high and low/freezing temperatures? I ask because we’d like to get rid of the carpet in our old rig, but are leery of using a vinyl tile that might not survive winter storage.

My belly heat is a two inch flexible duct work and termination is just over the frame drop.While we had the underbelly down for guiding our Cheap Heat extra duct, we decided to also install tank heaters on the fresh tank and also the fresh water line and sink lines, since these are areas susceptible to freezing (our experience).
We did this before on our previous Elkridge. This time, we went with two ThermaHeat pads in the fresh tank, rather than UltraHeat. The main difference was the Amps. These draw 4.8 amps each and UltraHeat’s same size pads draw 9.9 Amps, and UktraHeat pads cost 3x as much.
Notice because of the supports, we had to use two smaller pads rather than one big one.
I don’t have pics of the heat tape install, I forgot. It then got covered with foam pipe cover, and the wiring got run up to the basement.
The additional duct for the Cheap Heat was also run, it will now terminate near the fresh tank. With both these upgrades, here’s hoping we won’t have any freezing issues for our winter living and ski travels!
We ran out of decent outside temps to work, so hope to wrap up next weekend.

Dane ,Started on replacement of leaking front, doorside landing jack on our 4 point level-up system. Should have been pretty easy. But...
3 of the 6 grade 8 mounting bolts were frozen. 24" breaker bar wasn't enough. Took over an hour and some brute force to break them loose.
Ran into a second problem while trying to move the control valve to the new jack. The space between the valve assembly and the jack is too narrow to insert an open end wrench or anything else that might be useful. I ordered a set of thin open end wrenches that should arrive late Thursday.
Called Lippert to ask how the new jack would work if I didn't install the valve today. They said it would extend and retract, but would not hold pressure once the pump was off.
So the old jack went back on and I'll pick it up again on Friday. Should go pretty fast once the valve is out.
Dane ,
Don't you just love it when something that should be simple just goes to an entire new project. ??

Lol.I watched Jim Tanner's video where he had a mobile servicer change out the middle jack on a 6 point levelup. It was easy. The bolts came out easily. And there were no valves to deal with. It probably took Jim 5 times longer to edit the video than was spent changing the jack.
Repaired one of the grey water gate valves on our 2015 BH. The corraplast came down clean, but I did discover I was carrying another 8 pounds of weight in water that was inside the little galleys when I dropped one side. I cleaned up the messy arrangement of tubing/wiring runs also. I was well intentioned to document the project, but found I am no good at wearing two different hats at the same time. The photographer in me lost out.
Thanks to not having any free play in the drain piping, I had to remove the gate valve twice to finally get it back in place without dislodging the two seals.
