    Hydraulic Breaker???

    That won't work. With the breakers in series, the 30 amp will trip when 30 amps flows through it and that opens the circuit. You might think that putting them in parallel than would work but you can't guarantee that 50 amps goes through the 50 amp breaker and 30 amps goes through the 30 amp...

    VuQube portable satellite experience?

    I don't know. I've never experimented with it. The antenna is powered by the receiver. When you have an antenna that feeds two receivers vs an antenna that feeds four receivers, I know they have a different switch. So if you connect two receivers to an antenna without the proper switch I don't...

    VuQube portable satellite experience?

    Another thing to consider is that the cube has one output. Since my wife and I watch different shows, I wired our Landmark so we use two receivers, one in the bedroom and one in the rear lounge. We use an antenna with two outputs.

    Distance on center of wall frame studs

    medic9016 We have a Landmark so the studs are probably not the same. However,you can see where the studs are if you take a look along the outside wall especially in the morning when it's cool outside. You should be able to see the studs outline as you look along the side.

    Dish or Direct

    I have direct TV and have found that I can align the antenna by listening to the sound from the TV a lot faster than by using the signal finder. The signal finder has to be constantly adjusted as you align the antenna. Could use three or maybe four hands to do it all. I have one of those...

    Toilet Water Flow

    Jopa I had the water completely stop on the toilet in my Landmark. I found there is a screen in the entrance to the valve. You have to turn the water off, take the valve apart and open the water line to get to it. Mine was plugged with calcium. I dumped it out, put everything back together and...

    Tripod under the kingpin

    I tried a tripod and found that it didn't do much. Another solution is to purchase a pair of scissor jacks. A lot of the bounce comes from your suspension so if you can get the weight off of the suspension you'll bounce less. When we're set up for a long period of time, I put the jacks behind...

    Uh oh - I went and done it... F550 and Chariot RV hauler bed

    vrugt I have a macerator pump. The problem was with the campground. They didn't want any more water in their septic system because the campground was flooded. After our tank was filled I went to the office and they let me dump. They just wanted to control how much water was going into the sytem.

    Grills

    We use a little domed charcoal grill and love it. I tried a small gas grill but didn't like it. I couldn't control the heat well enough to roast chicken or grill ribs. There seemed to be hotspots and coldspots across the surface. I don't grill the last night we're at a place so I can empty the...

    Question about plumbing

    Not sure what your question is. Your picture is of the drain plumbing with a 3-1/2 inch pitch.

    Uh oh - I went and done it... F550 and Chariot RV hauler bed

    Hi Jim We're not having any problem with the power. The boxes you saw are for the new sites they're building. Water is the problem. We can't dump anything into their septic system right now. They've got us dumping gray water on the ground and can't dump black at all. They've asked us to come to...

    Jim It looks great. You'll enjoy the feeling of having a truck that is not imtimidated by anything you're towing.
