RE: Electric brakes self adjusting?
Dexter self-adjusting do so when going forward and braking
Dexter self-adjusting (as others) can be and should be manually adjusted when new or whenever hub is pulled
Dexter self-adjusting as days of old use a cable from brake shoe pivot to adjuster lever on star wheel. Lever engages teeth on star wheel so to manually adjust you have to push lever out of teethe and away from star wheel then rotate star wheel while holding lever out if the way-----hence 2 open slots on bottom of backing plate

1500 watt heater in the boiler costs a bit to run.....
A Norcold 1200 uses two elements...each 225W for 450W total
My Dometic 8 cu/ft uses one element...325W
1500W not used in absorption fridges
1400W/1440W elements ----Water Heaters

RE: We always unhook, even on an overnight stop
In an Emergency.
I could have truck/trailer unhooked BEFORE ambulance even got there
Could you do that while providing life saving care to the patient?
If you even started to think "Yes" you are a disillusioned fool especially if the patient is a loved one...
So many internet heroes...
Guess you missed my multi-tasking post.......
Get with the program.
Sheesh!
Some are just so easily lead.....by the nose.

RE: We always unhook, even on an overnight stop

So if you significant other cut an artery, you could unhook while holding pressure on the wound until the ambulance got there? Or maybe while performing CPR if it was a heart issue?
It's not always as easy as we first think.
Slap a tourniquet ON........use my foot for chest compression with air compressor hose in mouth
WHAT.......can't you multi-task?

RE: Toilet bowl no longer holds water
Turn water supply off
Hold toilet ball valve open
Using your HANDS..rub dish soap on seal top/bottom as you flex it and gentle scape any crud/scale off seal (hard to damage/tear just using your hands)
Scrub top of ball valve
Then thoroughly rinse the seal & ball valve
Afterwards using your HANDS again---rub seal thoroughly with Olive Oil (or Plumbers Grease)
IF seal still doesn't hold water......time for new seal and maybe ball valve if it is scored

RE: Naps
As a toddler I fought Nap Time---afraid I was going to miss something/get left out
In Kindergarten looked forward to Nap Time ---everyone went to their cubbies, got out their blankets and spread out of classroom floor. Kinda like a large slumber party.
Fast forward 60 plus years and I finally get to enjoy that afternoon Nap Time.
Just One of the benefits of retirement.
Sometimes I get TWO in one day!

RE: Need new water heater question
NO.......can't replace tank on Suburban
23 yrs old.....time for a NEW whole complete water heater
IF old one is a 6 gal----new Suburban gas/electric 6 gal will fit opening
If old one is a 10 gal---new Suburban gas/electric 10 gal will fit opening
Swapping 6 for 10 would require changing opening
Swapping Suburban for Atwood....changing opening
But it's time for new one. You got 23 yrs out of the old one.
