    T-tap connectors

    T-tap connectors

    I do not recommend using them and I also do not recommend using the Scotch connectors that snap onto a wire. They both are susceptible to getting loose or getting corrosion in a damp environment and having the connection fail. You are much better off baring the wire and twisting and soldering...

    Unplugged wire connector under dash.

    There is a linear switch down at the bottom of your steering column above the pedals that is controlled by a rod from the ignition switch. I believe that it has a couple of plugs that go into it that look similar to your picture. Look in that area to see if it is missing a plug. Otherwise it...

    ventilation while stored

    For years people have used calcium chloride as a dehumidifier. So a search on the internet and you’ll find a lot of sites that discuss it. Some sell it with fancy names but it is cheaper to buy a bag of plain CACl2 and use it with a bucket to catch the water. Just dump the water periodically and...

    First indication that your getting up in years.

    Jim That reminds me when I was visiting my folks a few years back. They were both in their late 80s. One day they were telling me that they didn’t have any friends left as they had all died. The next day we were talking about their land line telephone. I asked why they didn’t cancel the service...

    Water heater element

    Actually the two should be the same temperature setting. The reason for two in series is because if there were only one and it failed in a closed position it could cause the heater to overheat to the point of exploding. With two in series if one fails in the closed position they the other should...

    Water heater element

    I would expect that you burnt out the heating element. You can easily test the thermostat. They should pass current until they get hot and open the circuit. A VOM set on resistance (ohms)or a test light should allow you to test them. Emery Stora > >> Are you talking about the thermostat...

    Isopad over tandem's

    I don’t have my GMC here to look at but as I recall there is an approximately 3” x 1/4” piece of aluminum beneath the floorboards running across the motorhome by each rubber spacer. I don’t recall one above the bogies so those two rubber spacers are likely just glued in place. Emery Stora 77...

    drain cock for Camco water filtration?

    I would think you could drill a hole in the bottom and tap it. Then use a radiator drain petcock. It should hold in the plastic. Use a little bit of Teflon tape to seal the threads. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick,CO > > I am wondering if anyone has ever found/installed some sort of drain...

    Iso pads- glue and lube

    I did mine quite a few years back but I didn’t use any lubricant. I found that Liquid Nails applied to both sides acted as a lubricant. I felt that if i put in a lubricant it would stay there and possibly allow movement of the pad in the future. I used a small block of wood and a hammer to tap...

    combiner

    OK. Let’s suppose that your converter is providing 13.5 volts or more to your house battery but you have a bad cell in your engine battery. Doesn’t that mean that it will keep trying to push current to the engine battery? What effect will that have on your house battery or your converter? I am...

    combiner

    It doesn’t make any difference if you connect it to the isolator terminals or directly to the battery because the wires from the isolator lead to the battery. I don’t use a combiner as it will allow current to flow either way when it is connected. So, if you have, for example a bad engine...
