RV Hot Water Heater Maintenance /Winterization, how to get scaling out of the anode rod opening.
Descaling the inside of your hot water tank is easy with a vinegar solution, but that solution can’t reach the anode rod threads. This video shows an easy way to get that white crud off the threads, making it easier to replace your anode rod.

Tap into a GFCI receptacle to add an AC outlet in my RV, an Rpod model 180.
Просмотров 1842 месяца назад
The Rpod Model 180 is notorious for not including power outlets in the sleeping area, so I added one! This video shows how I tapped into a central GFCI electrical outlet to safely add an AC/USB outlet into the sleeping area. This is a great project for the off season, so have at it and I hope it makes your camping a little easier and more enjoyable!

    In case you didn't know you can also get a bypass valve to bypass your waste tank and dump it directly in your home sewage line. This will prevent your tank in your RV from collecting sewage and it's a fairly easy install.

      Go to the 1min 10 mark on the video and see the screen shot of the email I sent to AP Products. I mentioned in the video that yeah you could pry the window off but you'd probably damage the existing window frame and possibly the door doing so. I highly recommend getting the white tab tool so the frame separates easily. Up to you though!

    I’ve been doing a lot of research on this, and although the AD model stands for auto detect, according to WFCO spec sheets has the same output voltage for the standard model and the AD model, so the AD model still can’t fully charge lithium batteries. I’m not an expert nor an electrician, just going off what the specs say.

    My WFCO converter in my Model WF-8735P Power Center just died in my 2015 TAB S Max trailer, so this video was very interesting. I still have a lead acid battery in the trailer, but converting to lithium soon is my goal, so I want to replace my current failed power center. I've heard there are two choices in replacing your power center when you upgrade to lithium: One is the WFCO Model WF-8735AD as you show in this video, and the other is the WFCO Model WF-8740AD. I am wondering if the WF-8740AD is a newer version that has come out since this video, which might now be what I should replace with?

    • @gregoutandabout
      @gregoutandabout 6 месяцев назад

      To my knowledge the only difference between the 8735AD and the 8740AD is the amperage rating. 35 max for the 8735 and 40 for the 8740. Since I wasn’t upgrading anything that required a higher amperage, I replaced straight across with an 8735AD. You might consult the T@B manufacturer for their guidance.

I definitely want to make sure I get the newer V.19 (or possibly V.20??) firmware, however, when I order the power center. Now that a V.20 firmware is available, would that be the best one to get? I still have a lead acid battery in my 2015 TAB S Max, but would really like to change over to lithium at some point. Would the V.20 firmware then be best? Is the company you ordered your power center from able to determine which firmware number they are sending out if you specify the firmware you want?

    General rule when pitching waste pipe, it should pitch a 1/4 inch per foot. On a level, that is the line past the level line. The edge of bubble should just touch that. They make levels to show the correct pitch. If you pitch the pipe too much, the water will leave the paper and waste behind, causing a blockage over time.
