RE: Roadtrek 170 boiling cabin battery
Your power converter is overcharging - that is a typical scenario with older converters.
We have a 170 on the Chevy chassis - I imagine it is similar. Our converter is under the driver's side of the back dinette cushion. There should be a vented door in front of it - probably brown. We replaced our converter with a Progressive Dynamics converter and we leave the van plugged in 24/7. It is a smart converter that changes the amount of charging so it won't boil the battery.
We used a PD4645 as a direct replacement for our old converter from BestConverter.com
Good luck.

RE: More and more instant hot water systems
I can't figure out why people would want them in an RV unless they always camp with hookups where it's always warm.
At least some brands are including the water miser feature that recycles the "unused hot" water back into the fresh tank.
Am I making too big a deal about this?I totally agree. We've rented cabins that have those and I can't imagine why they'd put one in an RV. You have to have the water running constantly - it works in a shower (if you have lots of water), but not washing dishes (unless you leave the water running). Tremendous waste of water IMO. :R

RE: Shopping new tires - is my shop confused or am I?
I would take a hard pass on any Michelin tire.
Look for an E rated tire in another name brand. I had Generals on my Excursion and was very happy with them.
What happened with Michelin? On these forums they are usually considered one of the best brands.Yeah - Michelins are our go to tire now - and we have been buying tires for a looooong time.

RE: Why did my water pump stop pumping?
Go a step beyond just turning on the faucet. Unscrew the aerator out of the end of the faucet. Turn the faucet on and and let the pump run.^ Definitely try this! We just had this happen a couple weeks ago and I thought the pump was broken - it was the aerator that was somehow broken (it was a swivel one). Water flowed nicely when I unscrewed it.

RE: PA Turnpike-worse in US?
I feel for ya.
We avoid the turnpike whenever we can. We spend 40 minutes more to avoid it - taking I-68 to visit relatives that live down below.
We are amazed that with our class B the cost is almost double if we are over 7000 lbs. Sometimes we are under - whew!
The cost and road conditions don't match up. :R

RE: Continental spare tire holder
I make sure it's clean and then let it ride down against my body. Lifting it back up I use non-slippery gloves.
Mostly I have the things in the garage stored so that door has to be opened *very* rarely.

RE: How many of you own an EV?
What's funny is... I remember years ago we had a similar poll on how many cylinders we all own. You know - ICE cylinders.
We all had lots. ;)

RE: Broken Macerator - Tank Full
Can't they get the macerator fixed? Or get a new one? This must happen to others.

RE: RV, campgrounds near Cleveland
Whenever we do Cleveland we stay at Punderson State Park. Easy access to the city. They have a great art museum too.

RE: Hooking up to water/sewer
If you are used to using your FW tank then you can keep doing that if you want. We always fill our tank and use the water from that. And we turn the pump off when not using it - that way there is little chance of an undetected leak causing lots of damage.
As others have said - leave your waste tank valves closed until dumping.

RE: Trailerlife portal down?
Cool!
Adding index.cfm to my bookmark seems to fix and bring the trailerlife portal back to life! My bookmark did not have that but now it does.
:)

RE: Traveling via B&B/hotel vs RV
We always travel with our B. It has everything we need in it including sleeping space, meal preparation space, and bathroom space.
That said - we often rent a fancy cabin with our daughter. When we do that we have our fridge and cupboards stocked and we pull stuff out of the B and load up the cabin's fridge and cupboards. We don't like eating out - the cost and the uncertainties...
We think we've got it figured out...
YMMV :)
