Re: Electrical Questions

Re: Electrical Questions

I am also assuming I won't be needing/using the 100 amp breaker that came installed with this panel? I really don't plan on using anything that will necessitate any breaker more than 30 amps, but I'm...

Re: Electrical Questions

Every time the heat rises, say 80's, I smell gas vapors escaping from the fuel tank. I am not sure exactly where to begin...

Thank you everyone for the feedback!

I have a 366 in my bus. We drove down to Arizona from Montana back in November, and along the drive I got anywhere from 3.5 - 8.5 mpg between fill-ups. It was a 1,100 mile trip. A few times it was...

Re: Been reading for a year and not one wall up

Lorna, I dig that door idea!

I want our layout to be as open as possible, and to use the least amount of material as possible. Finding used doors is simple, too. I may steal this idea...

Re: Bus Hydronic Heater Issue

I got it working. :D

I let the bus warm up pretty well and then turned the heater on high. It gurgled and I could hear air leaving the heater. As soon as the heated coolant ran through the unit...

Ah! Thanks. That's a great point... I didn't consider that when I was working on it yesterday.
