No! Maybe on the same side or even same bay of the rv as the sewage connection, but fresh water has a completely different water connection. You should also used completely different hoses, ie fresh water hose and sewage hose… keeps you healthy. 😛.
Tis a good idea to do. We’ve had a few none working pedestals in our 8 years fulltiming.. No big deal if we had to move 😝.. but we often do the surge protection hookup and check while the diesel engine is cooling down and if good, then dump air bags, level rv and shut down engine. 🤗
To me this was never camping to me camping is backpack into your campsite and the middle of the Grand canyon and passing out on the side of the trail not once but twice
Is it preferable to keep the sewer line open or drain and then close? Would one want to drain the sewer and gray behind, right, for optimal flush effect.
Chuckles, for us, we do different jobs. While hubby checks and does hookups, I’m setting up the inside for living, writing down the mileage/engine/fuel info for our records, watching the tachometer to reach shutoff, then shutting down engine, etc. By us doing the same jobs every time, we get set up or broken down with ease.🙂. And yes, we know how to do each other jobs🤣…
so that surge protector just has the mains power hookup exposed to the elements? seems like a bad design to me. Rain will for sure drench that entire plugin.
...but before you go to all that trouble, be sure you have the supplies you need so you don't have to undo it all to run to the grocery store for a jar of mayonnaise. My mom and step-dad camped. We learned some lessons the hard way. 😊
@@GratefulGlamper :) I've just never seen so many in one viewing session. RU-vid seems to present certain themes sometimes. Its odd. Best to you! Safe travels.
I actually thought this before I was going to say something but that is so disgusting that you keep your sewer line hose in there next to your hose used for your fresh water. Just grosses me out
Ours doesn’t not have a built in one as it’s a 2004 model. We’ve spoken directly with Fleetwood and the ones on the new units protect against low voltage and reverse polarity but do not protect against lightning strikes, etc. In FL we wouldn’t be with out it.
You're wasting money on water pressure regulators and kinda on the surge protector that's what a ground is for besides electronics but you only need for them and not the whole system but you really don't need a water pressure regulator at all that's a waste of money and if they told I needed that I wouldn't buy that RV it's just gimmick though
