Thanks Tito for sharing your tips ?
Thanks, Brian! I would like to add to your tips; (1) Need to properly set the air gap in the water heater, either Atwood or Suburban's (Tank style). when full open the relief valve, shut the water flow off (water pump or city water) and open the nearest faucet, let it drain out of the relief valve until the water flow stops, then snap the valve closed. This will properly set the air gap in the tank. (2) Tire pressure shoud be set by the weight of each axle end, not the cold Max GAWR psi setting. Weigh your rig at a Cat scale or truck fuel center. Weigh it like you would normally travel. Go to the tire manufacturers RV tire website and find the recommended psi setting for your size and model of tire, pre the weight at each axle.
Great vid Tito. 🙂 I have some Mini Lite owners that follow my videos. I have to do this kinda vid too and also refer them to your channel. Michael
Great video. To the point and helpful. More like this. I do not narrative, I need information. Thanks Tito.
My water heater has an anode/drain so a huge honking socket helps to prevent scaring on my hands.
For a few dollars more, I went with AGM batteries in my travel trailer and tow vehicle. I'll go to lithium when I win the lottery.
How do yo keep your roof so clean, especially the Dicor?
I like the idea of silicone on the rubber slide-out seals but not on the metal parts. For that a dry lube is better. It won’t attract and hold dirt.
Don't be afraid to ask Questions Thumbs up!!!
Hi just found you….thank you so much…
Hi Brian and Melissa, this is the Kings from over on the Olympic Peninsula. I know you do most (all) mods yourself, but for those of us who aren't brave enough yet, are there any shops on the OP or Kitsap Peninsula that you would feel good about for jobs like installing a composting toilet, antennas/boosters, new anti-sway bars, and lithium batteries? We only know about Eric's in Sequim and we don't yet know what they will and won't do – we're going to stop in this weekend to find out. We have a similar Class C to yours, 32 feet on a Ford E450 chassis. Thanks for all your great info!
