Yep that's about right, my A/C's draw 13amps running. If I start one and let it stabilize I can start the second on a 30amp connection I can run both for a short time but the cord heats as it's almost maxed.

Why? I may have things another member can use like two weight distribution hitches and I have been in 5W's 15 years.

I do mine every year. Mainly because of surprises like this. These electric brakes have more in common with a Model T than we would like to admit.
Exactly why I did this. Yes it's on the levelers with stands, I forget the lifting weight of each ram, way more combined that the weight of my 5W. The don't is CYA for the manufacture should you get hurt. Kind of like spilling hot coffee and suing.

These do fold under similar to the originals, I'm pulling out tomorrow so I can get a folded pictures if your interested. Our solid steps tilt up inside the door. There is no place/box to fold steps under. That's why I'm wondering how you could replace the solid steps with these. You would have to build the box area under the doorway also. I don't know if that is a big job or just a matter of cutting the skirt and putting a little bracing in place. How would the steps mount? Just screw to the plywood floor from underneath? Some news on the Glowstep, they now make then to replace the solid steps now being put on RV's.I have had mine a year now in many different sites and still love them. The handrail took getting use to setting up but it's a breeze now, three poles that attach to the step, door and slide.
( No I am not an employee, salesman, and get nothing if you switch.)

Well, if KZ didn't have so many warranty claims the could spend a bit more on the Family Forum. Just sayin'... At the same time, we wouldn't have anything to b!tch about. :-) Lyle

There should be a nuts to attached to the faucet, reach up behind & unscrew it with the water OFF to the entire RV. There maybe some residual so a towel under. I would take the old with me to insure the nuts to the faucet are the same size, I want to say there are two sizes. That is what I planned, but the red and blue lines extend all the way to the faucet. In order to install a new faucet and use conventional lines and cutoff valves, I'll need to cut the red and blue lines shorter and install connectors on them to adapt to the valves. It might just be easier to attach the old lines to the new faucet and forget about cutoff valves. Ok now I know what you want. Get some shark bite valves when you get the new facet. Home depot has a selection of shark bite stuff and most hardware stores, many new homes are plumbed with PEX so it's readily available.
I did that exact thing on my toilet when the shut off leaked over night and flooded the bathroom on a Sunday of coarse. I had to shut down the entire RV to fix it, there is a shut off in the line now. I carry a short red & blue with the crimping tool and clamp rings and a few shark bite fittings, we travel a lot so I have had to fix leaks on the road.

Welcome to the new reality of struggling to find campsites, especially with full hookup or just electrical. I have an app called RV Life. You can search areas by city/town and find all kinds of campgrounds. This is the app I have used fro years, reviews by people that have used the park being reviewed. If you don't find the answer to your question in the review you can ask people that have been to that park. I have personally done 90 reviews in 20 states, just checked and it's 75 parks some I reviewed more than once.

Well dang after I bought one and paid more, not in the description if plastic or wood. The only plus is I really do not like CW and try to avoid them.

What he said standard size find one you like maybe 15 minutes to replace. Thanks... Looks like I have the standard red and blue household plastic piping in the trailer. I'm guessing Home Depot will rent the tool to clamp a fitting to the end that will attach to the valve? Or does the lines clamp directly to the valve? There should be a nuts to attached to the faucet, reach up behind & unscrew it with the water OFF to the entire RV. There maybe some residual so a towel under.

Nearly all standard household faucets will work. As far as the water connections go, consider installing valves under the sink and use standard supply lines. When you are done you won't have to shut down the entire trailer to do work on that faucet. I added shut off valves on all my fixtures. What he said standard size find one you like maybe 15 minutes to replace.

I had a hinge break on my Dometic 310 toilet and bought a replacement at a hardware store, no it did not fit. The seat is specific to the Dometic and needs a cut out for the water valve. I was able to find a replacement on eBay for a mere $90 shipped, a deal from a broken unit that had been returned. The wood replacement, slow close is north of $150 every where I could find a new one.

Better yet go to Amazon and buy a torque stick of the proper torque and leave it with a 1/2 drive ratchet or that breaker bar. Cheap enough to just get another torque wrench to keep in my truck. :-) Lyle 100ftlb stick $14 last torque wrench was over $100

I could understand if the =hoses= cracked, but mine suddenly started leaking past the brass fitting. Lyle Better quality on the replacements you know they go cheap building.
