Thanks, but we already bought that extra plastic several months ago.

Heater anode with one year on it.
also just ordered an undersink reverse osmosis filtration system with dedicated tap after seeing and replacing the whole coach filter cartridge. Will be nice not having to buy drinking water any longer

Ugly as it is, that's got time left on it. That said, I would have replaced it also.
I always have 2 on hand, 12 bucks off amazon is a no brainer.
I just dont like to see the rust development on the heater tank bung threads so I take the time to hit it with anti seize and teflon tape to prevent the rust before hooking up to the utilities. Also gives me a chance to flush the water heater.
Yeah, I usually wire brush the threads.
I had a really itchy hemorrhoid after I got covid. That thing would have come in handy.
Just ordered a Dish network Wally receiver for the coach since I already had a Wineguard 1000 system on the roof.
just in case any of you want dish in an RV or Van you need to talk to "Dish outdoors" as opposed to the normal Dish network numbers and channels, might save you a half hour of transfers and dept hopping.
Receiver was 99 bucks and they wave the shipping fee.

GFF: as we killed off our service I have a portable Tailgator self locating sat antenna that does dish and Direc if you want it
Thx but I am good, the dish on the coach is a $3k setup that is hardmounted and push button. I am sure someone would pick yours up on Facebook marketplace since the season is starting up for the RV crowd.
Started replacing all the incandescents and halogens with LED bulb equivalents in order to lower my wattage consumption and calculate my usage before I jump into solar. I opted for the one sided LED arrays since I can "tune" them and bounce the light rather than have it in the face. Much better light compared to the dull orange of the lava hot incandescents.
The Dinette (work station)
I didnt feel a need to replace the sconce fixtures so just bounced the LED array off the wall.
The vanity was a huge difference
Also replaced all 4 of the exterior docking lights that also double as security lights when parked, huge difference
After replacing 10 incandescents at 18 watts each for a total of 180 watts I am down to 21 from 180 watts with more bulbs and fixtures on the way.

I think just in lights I will save over 900 watts when done with all the change outs
Another 100 watts or so down thanks to todays prime delivery. These old puck fixtures would literally get hot enough to burn yourself if you touched them. Tried a 4 pack for 17 bucks to see if they would fit, winner!
12 more puck lights on the way
Matched up to the same holes perfectly but cut back those stupid inline wire taps and actually used butt connectors.

“Butt Connectors”.
Tee-hee.

Better than the alternatives
Ass union
sphincter solder
cheek clasp
bum crimp
Starfish bond
prob going to set up at the Virginian
Cool. Happy to grab a beer or some tacos if you wanna.
Seen this in my feed today,
Barstool desk with televator
I think I will add a folding top for more desktop/editing space. Swiveling barstools allows them to be tucked in when the slides are in.
Already shopping for parts and calculating the largest size TV I can fit since I am blind AF

In the bedroom, want some?

Water heater tid bit
TLDR: Dont buy a tankless (instant) heater for your RV,
Rewind two+ weeks ago.
Some slick mobile RV tech rolled through the park and put adverts on every rig in this RV park for tankless heater and installation specials. I warned a couple of them not to do it and explained the issues with them, 4 of them went ahead with getting them.
Today,
All 4 of those tankless heaters failed in less than two weeks due to clogged exchangers from hard/mineralized water.
One guy even paid a shop $600 to paint match the exterior of his heater cover to match his coach.

Meet Campula, a Cadillac Hearse Turned Into a Spooky Camper for Two
I bet you haven't seen a camper like this. Based on an original Cadillac hearse, this RV has enough space for a TV, a lounge, and a fireplace

I keep meaning to ask how you get your kayaks up on top of the camper? I've considered adding crossbars on top of the van (which is 9' up with the pop top), but my Sea Ghost is heavy AF. Atomic Wife hates helping me carry it from the garage to the bed of the truck, so asking for help getting it up that high is a no-go.
FYI I can load it without help. Kayak is 70 pounds
I don’t think I have seen one of these with a topper before.
S had to drive an El Camino through high school when they were seriously unpopular and uncool.
I should see if she wants it

Must have been a fancy High School because those were always badass to a certain crowd.
