Need help with water heater
We need help! We just moved our 93 Innsbruck travel trailer to a piece of property. Mind you, this camper has not been moved or used in about 11 years. We are using battery power for lights, but are trying to figure out how to use propane to power the hot water heater. Any insights?? Not sure how to activate it....or even use the propane for the refrigerator or hot water heat. Any other Innsbruck owners out there with some insight??
Many Thanks, Kris in Michigan

RV Converters
Please bare with me, first time on a forum. I have an Alfa Gold that came with an 80 amp converter which is having problems. I no longer use the belly air or the two RV refrigerators that came with it. Is there any reason I cannot use 50 or 60 amp converter?
Thanks so much, David

Water pump replacement on a beast of an engine.
Changing out a water pump on a 7.3 diesel looks intimidating to say the least,, Its just a massive beast of an engine shoved and stuffed under the hood. And with any diesel engine, everything is super extra heavy duty,, no whimpy parts there. So I tackle the job with a positive attitude.
With my poor eye sight, I apply common sense approach, a bolt,nut or screw has to hold everything in place, the trick is locating them. I first find the drain on the lower part of the radiator and get…

A "Gem" of a Campground Find near Salisbury, NC
After my 'full-timing' adventure of last year, poor Juno found herself neglected in the yard most of the summer. I think I suffered from a little RV PTSD. As the temperatures grew and the humidity descended on our little piece of mountain paradise here in Asheville, NC I was content to enjoy not worrying about my electric consumption, not having to pack up my home every time I needed to go to the grocery store, and poo that just goes away forever when you flush!
Finally,…

Camper Jack Replacement Part
One of my jacks was leaking really bad, so I took it apart to replace the 'O' rings.
One part stripped. It's the pump cylinder, and it is made of light aluminum.
I have the jack at a local machine shop, they are going to make replacements for that part for all the jacks. The new parts will be stronger, they are making them from brass.
If you have a jack similar and need this part then let me know, I can have them run off more.
It…

Fireball Lovers
Hi All,
I just bought a 72 Dodge Fireball Class C Motorhome - Sweet Gypsy Rose aka Rose aka Queenie. Are there any Fireball lovers/owners out there who would like to start a group - both Trailers and Motorhomes? I'd love to hear from fellow Fireball enthusiasts.
Thanks much,
Cheers!!

My 1992 Toyota Warrior towing our 1994 Mercury Capri
WePulled our Capri from Inverness Fl. to Pittsburgh Pa without any problems. It was a little slow going over the mountains in West Virginia and Virginia. We did manage to pass a few tractor trailers that were going slower than us.
