What distance do you have (nor need) between the trailer dolly tires and the trailer jack? Wondering if tight turns might allow the dolly tires to run into the trailer jack?

Did you find it difficult to turn on concrete? Because there's no differential on the axle but instead it's a solid shaft and the wheels are not independent. I noticed in your video when you were turning it you were actually pulling kind of hard did you find it difficult as well?

it can be at times when NOT moving as i need to turn it 90* quickly but its not terrible by any means

Just my opinion. A holding tank is supposed to be just that. It is not and should not be treated as a septic tank. What does that mean? It means no breakdown it needed. Happy camper even said it is for septic tank. For those that use these, I’m pretty sure you are also saying that the sensors don’t work because they are no good. Mine work just fine.
@smorescampingadventures8158
@smorescampingadventures8158 2 месяца назад
it is 100% a holding tank and dont disagree with that but emulsified will always flow better and less chance of clogging or leaving "Stuff" in the tank. you really just want to break it down for flow reasons. great point!

Is the 178db water heater electric or gas ?
@smorescampingadventures8158
@smorescampingadventures8158 6 месяцев назад
the first few years (20-22) were gas only. 22-24 can be gas and electric. however the layout should be the same except for the 24s with a new kitchen layout it might be slightly different i hope that helps

it will just turn a tad slower id imagine as a dual axle will scrub on any super tight turns (90*)

Isn't it just easier to insert the trailer jack stand into the hole instead of attaching the tow ball?
@smorescampingadventures8158
great question. yes you absolutely can do it that way its just harder to get the nubs lined up correctly and tighten it down is alot easier with it out of the dolly as it needs to be perfectly straight up and down. also the instructions state to do it out of the dolly also. they do have another attachment now with extra wheels so you dont need to tighten anything just like its on a vehicle even easier but another 400-500 bucks thanks for watching!

I only use double ply toilet paper. Cottonelle. Try using a double ply TP for this experiment. Then, it would be more accurate. That single ply you tested with, is way too thin and anything will dissolve that. A double ply would have been a more accurate testing subject, with better results in saying which brand is best.
@smorescampingadventures8158
thank you for watching. it was 2 ply , not cottenell fluffy level but sply great value (walmart brand) . .yes different paper will react differently . this is just how i tested it with what is used in our trailer. results can and will vary with paper, environment, chemical levels, size and shape of tanks, ect. thanks for watching!

Thanks for making this video. I found it very helpful for us. We are wondering which product to buy, this has helped a lot. However, I am not sure if it is wise to mix 2 products together. As you mentioned, one of the products (Happy Campers) says NOT to mix other products with it right?

I mix the tst pouches mentioned in this video and rv digest it in my motorhome. I follow directions of both. Works like a dream! Been doing this for over a year in my class a. I did a similar test as this video using mason jars and mixing rv digest it with tst, thetford, etc... 6 different brands. Found that the tst orange and rv digest is by far the best. Breaks down everything

It's interesting that you installed it on the negative cable. Most every professional installer installs it on the positive cable.
@smorescampingadventures8158
@smorescampingadventures8158 2 года назад
i have years of automotive background and always shutoff the grounds. marine is primarily positive. they both accomplish the same in the end though.
@smorescampingadventures8158
@smorescampingadventures8158 2 года назад
"Primarily when replacing or working on the battery wiring, if the negative is not disconnected you can cause a short circuit if you touch the positive lead to the RV frame. This can be avoided by disconnecting the negative first or if the battery disconnect is installed on the negative lead the risk is mitigated." for reference no ground, no flow
@bonusking1224
@bonusking1224 Год назад
Id wager that the instructions say to put it on the negative side as well.
@mikefranklinjr123
@mikefranklinjr123 2 года назад
A few things I see that could lead to an issue. One is the end of the bolt's will eventually ware on the battery. Second is the opening of the disconnect should be pointing down so you get less water in that area. Third, should you connect the disconnect on the positive terminal side?
@smorescampingadventures8158
@smorescampingadventures8158 2 года назад
i appreciate the feedback! 1. i have added a foam block in the battery box exactly for that reason since. 2. i have rotated switch so wires come out the bottom at the end of last season (no signs of damage or water intrusion and was just looking at it and thinking snow over the winter 3. i have an automotive background and ALWAYS disconnect the ground . with out a ground a circuit can not be completed . i have noticed marine is usally on the positive side but at the end of the day either way produces the same result. thanks for watching and the feedback!
