Re: Norcold 9182 Constantly Pulls DC

The refractomer could be better as you would not have to disconnect the batteries, but I haven't used this m...

Re: winterizing 1998 39' safari sarengeti

' I am not sure I understand completely. But I had no problems with the coach over winter. I usually left a heater on a few hours most days during the day at 750 watts. I have the coach at my house and worked on it most days so I didn't let it get cold or damp inside. I just made sure the tanks were...

' Jim I think you're right. I overlooked the patches being on the outside. I do know we used to bond sections into conveyor belts but they didn't carry air.
