Re: Replacing the Fresh and Gray Tanks

Thanks, Twistedskipper, I was under there yesterday afternoon and discovered just what you describe. The "vents" are actually heat ducts. Since my future instillation won't have the tanks encased, I decided to pull out the ducts and cap them off under the closet floor. I don't plan on usin...

Re: Stabilizer Bars

IMHO I have modest needs, a few "always on" USB plugs, I want to be able to charge my computer, I want the stereo to be "always on" and I might want to use my blender for a few minutes every day. So far the bid for two panels, new batteries and all the wiring, labor and such, is ...

Re: Member Sighting?

I'll be driving around Boulder for a large part of this coming September! Honk and stop me, I'd love to tell and hear stories.

Re: Stabilizer Bars

Just now I removed my overly large and close to the differential and ground, fresh and gray water tanks. I'm figuring out where the holes go and I will order them from Plastic Mart.com soon. Given that I now know that I will be able to fit the Hellwig stabilizer bar without hitting the fresh water t...

Re: Replacing the Fresh and Gray Tanks

A buddy of mine has a much more extensive metal, welded "tray" that holds the tanks. It's nice and bombproof but I'm having a hard time getting a local metal shop to take the job. I can't really draw exact plans for it so it will be kind of a build as you go kind of thing.

Re: Replacing the Fresh and Gray Tanks

It looks like yours are just the raw, not protected tank held on by those metal straps. Is that the case?

Re: Replacing the Fresh and Gray Tanks

I'd really like to see how the original tank was attached. The thing now seems pretty hokey. It's encased in sheet metal and hung via pop rivets and odd sections of "C" shaped metal.

Re: Replacing the Fresh and Gray Tanks

It certainly seems excessive. I was in construction for a number of years and a full blown home toilet or shower needs that kind of vent but I just can't see it for the level of water I'd be using in my RV.

Replacing the Fresh and Gray Tanks

The tanks in my 97 B-190 are third party. I suspect a previous owner drove over something, ripped them out and replaced them. The Fresh water tank hangs quite far below the differential and is only 5 or 6 inches off the ground. I want to replace it and the Gray tank. I've noticed that the Fresh wate...

Re: Floor Mats

I don't have the invoice anymore so I can't tell you exactly the ones I ordered.

The material is nice but I wanted more coverage.

Re: Floor Mats

The ones I got didn't give me as much coverage as I wanted.
I ordered them here.

Re: Upper Window

Andy from Inland RV Supply called the shop and set it all up yesterday. The window was $700 including the shipping and gaskets.
