It is a violation of code to connect to city water systems without a check valve. What if you had mold or disease in your tank and you sent it to the guy parked next to you becasue you do not have the safety feature of a backflow preventer?

This filter can be wall mounted anywhere in the coach, and the cartridges are standard 4.5"x10" available at most outlets (HD, Lowes, etc.) I mounted in the adjacent bay, with a backer plate for vibration resistance. Use Pex-B because vibration may crack CPVC or PVC if not perfectly strapped down. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GBZ83HH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1T0M1TJHCGEMZ&psc=1 I use a 10 micron sediment filter and 5 micron carbon (coconut) filter and depending on the water you either get 6 mos. or less per set.

Without a Soft Start, the current required to start the AC motor approaches 34-35 Amps., then settles down in the 11-14 Amp range. Most breakers can handle this brief surge, but aging components can cause a trip. With a soft start kit or option installed the current to start is more in the 18-20 Amp range. with a longer spike but still within the capabilities of a breaker to handle without tripping. Because the running current is 11-14 Amps, a qualified engineer would specify 12 gauge wire for this application. I am certain you will find 12 gauge in your coach.

Deer wife is correct. 😆

I do this on all my vehicles now - works great. The hard part is finding the right grade of steel wool.

And fuel has not come down either. $3.79 in Georgia, but I bet it is higher elsewhere.

We had a Tiffin and the build quality was good. First year IFS was introduced. Ours was 2005 model. Any coach that has sat will need a thorough inspection, as you said.

The final solution for me is the Line-X spray on truck bed liner. You can match the color or use black. There are some DYI kits available on Amazon (Raptor). You will have to scuff the clear coat to get better adhesion. Watch your over-spray. Lots of work. To remove the adhesive, use oven cleaner, but be careful as it will attack any adhesive it makes contact with.

Sounds structurally sound. If you choose to use 1" construction screws to keep the squeaking down, try dipping them in epoxy before installation. This will help keep any moisture from getting in and keep the screw from backing out. Wouldn't it be nice if coach makers would use better subflooring to eliminate these repairs? I would gladly trade the marble and tile (and grout, weight) for luxury vinyl tile with a good base.

In residential construction, underlayment is screwed to the subfloor every 4 in. Do you have 2 layers under the tile? If you want squeaky proof use adhesive.

A pump having to lift 1,000 ft. will be stressing. Maybe put 2 pumps in-line in case one fails next time.

The most important take-away I got from this story is that Steven has a dedicated beer refrigerator.

It is not recommended to staple category cable as it interferes with the transmission speed and could cause retransmission errors. Instead use plastic zip ties with a screw hole and leave them loose so you don't crimp the cable.
