My access port is a little smaller but I think it's going to work. I'm thinking of doing the install myself if I can find someone to help remove and reinstall the box. The rest of it seems pretty simple. I've got 4 fans sucking air out at the top now. Think I'll leave them there like you...

Wow, thanks for that XRated. Perhaps you can tell me about the 6 1/2 inches of space needed 'behind the refrigerator box'. Where is that measured from. From the pictures on their website it looks like the condenser coils stick out of the back a few inches. Is that correct? Did you add any...

Weird thing. I turned it on today and it's working perfectly. All I did was to scroll through the settings for that zone. So........... Never Mind. No problem.

Tulecreeper was 100% correct. The AC unit has stopped cooling again. Symptoms are pretty similar to last time. The only thing missing is the smoke. This time I'm going to use Capacitors made in the USA and the best rated motor I can find. Still cheaper than a new unit. I'm hoping the...

There is a 6" 'space' under the refrigerator. As far as I know there is nothing there but I think I can get a bore scope in there to find out before I commit to a residential. Right now I'm leaning towards an Amish cooling unit. This one lasted 18 years in spite of the all the bad press...

DonTom, I did the magnet trick. After 2 hours the flue was hot and the heat exchangers and recovery tank were stone cold. I'm 99.97% sure the yellow residue means it's dead. ( I'm surprised that Gary hasn't commented on this yet.)

It's not a Cummins, Lou's Journey has a Caterpillar C7. Part of the basement air conditioning is in the way. I looked at the air filter from above and didn't see an easy way to get it out. It was hot and I didn't want to lay on the pavement.

We're heading out on a short trip Wednesday morning. I got the rig out of the storage lot last Friday and turned the refrigerator on Saturday evening. Everything seemed fine. Until today when the DW went to take some stuff out to put in the refer and found it beeping and displaying the...

I wish I could tell you what vest it was. I remember that the hook was right at the bottom of the vest. It had a belt that kept it (mostly) from riding up. It may have come from West Marine but that was so many years ago even if it did there's little chance it's still made. I gave away all...

When I was first learning to windsurf I was too macho to wear a vest. Until the day I was launched over the front of the board and cracked a rib when I hit the nose of the board. After that I always wore a vest designed for windsurfing. 10 years later someone else's mast 'conked' me on the...

I prefer to avoid IRV2 completely. Things are much better here.

We recently received a bill for two cortisone shots the DW got in her knees. $1,300! The total cost is over $8,000, which was billed to Medicare. We've been trying to prove to the provider that they mis-coded something. She can get a knee replaced for a $120 co-pay. I'll be referring back...

My DW has dozens of nicknames for me. Nope. Not going to tell anyone. Some of them would get me booted off this site. ;)

Did you clean the jet/orafice? Is there debris on the burner? Either of those can cause intermittent ignition issues.

I use my leveling jacks if necessary, usually it's not. The jacks are mechanical. I wouldn't trust hydraulics quite as much.
