If feces left behind is a concern, maybe one of those dryer vent brush sets you connect to an electric drill would get it loose. They typically will extend(sections) to about 15 feet. Just be sure to always run the drill in the drive setting, not reverse, even when backing it out. If you reverse...

If you have one of the earlier versions of the Anderson valve, it may be leaking water to the tank even though it’s set to City water. Was a common problem a few years back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lifting with only one jack risks twisting the frame. Not a good thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The effluent from the gray kitchen tank can smell just as bad as a black tank if its left too long. Organics decompose and generate hydrogen sulfide, just like poop.[emoji1785] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Temporary toilets. They make a seat that you fit over a 5gallon bucket with a plastic bag liner for hunting. When we had a pontoon, I kept a small porta-potty on board for the wife to use so we didn’t have to run to every shoreside facility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When we had our 3670, I moved it and the surge suppressor to the side of the bedroom step frame based on others postings about flooded electrical from that PoC anti-siphon valve. When it failed, the devices were high and dry, so I only had to mop up and run a dehumidifier for a while to dry...

Use the higher blocks on the rear tires then shim under the front ones with boards until they are snug under the tires. You could use a long level to find how much you need front to back to make the slope “level.” In essence, you’re making a long wedge to incorporate both axles. Sent from my...

Search repairing a tear in vinyl tile. There is a YouTube video that fits your problem with minimal effort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can buy an inexpensive handheld gas detector device on Amazon to check the gas fittings for leaks rather than slopping soapy water on them. The one I used when we had a rig is what found the not fully tightened furnace fitting following dealer service on it. We, too, would get a wiff of...

The only reason I put water in the fresh tank was to flush the toilet during power outages in the campground. The city water from the CG well was good quality made better via my filter system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When we had our 3670, the OEM detector above the steps would go off when we used the toaster. Removed it and installed better units on the bedroom and living room ceilings. Added a CO detector under the island. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t address the oven, but as for the smoke detector, what’s the manufactured date and when did you last change the battery? Unless it’s one of the more recent models with a built in LiH battery, they need to be changed at least annually. Unless the oven fire generated a fair amount of...

Is there a Studor valve under the vanity sink? Could be stuck open and when the water from the shower stirs up the tank, you’re getting odor coming out of it. On another note, sometimes a “musty” odor indicates wet wood somewhere. Check your drain and water lines for leaks, too. Sent from my...

If you haven’t already, remove the element and see if it’s caked with mineral deposits. If it is, you can soak it up to the threads in white vinegar to clean it off. And check at its terminals for continuity. I think there is an instruction in the Tools section for checking the thermostats...

The gas detector is normally wired direct to a 12V source so it’s always active. Because it activates does not stop it from working again once they’ve been cleared with fresh air. You can actually test them with the gas (no flame) from a butane lighter. Check the manufactured date on the back...
