    Replacing the city water inlet question

    Hi. We noticed a leak related to the connection to city water. Found the part to replace it (see link below). Reviews indicate it is easy to replace. It was not on our 21 due to no play in the length of the pipes so you're working in a really tight area. Anyway, the replacement part is on...

    2016 - 21C Heater Issues

    We had a similar problem with our furnace. RV repair tried replacing the sail switch and determined that it needed a new motor. Here's a link to the discussion: https://www.escapeforum.org/forums/f9/atwood-furnace-not-working-random-problem-with-the-fan-blower-24301.html

    Fogged rear picture window. Replacements available?

    Our rear window is fogged too, as well as one pane in each of the kitchen and side dinette windows. We don't have the tools or skills to do our own replacement so will get our trusted RV shop to do the work. So I'm following this thread to see what you do in terms of replacing the glass vs...

    Gas stove vs induction burners

    We carry a portable induction burner that I use instead of the propane stove any time we have hookups. Most of the time I plug it in and use it outside to keep mess and smells out of the trailer. It works so much faster than the propane stove and I don’t get overheated like I do when cooking on...

    Replacing a Dometic RMD 8555 Refrigerator

    For the last 2 years when we have been at Tumalo in Bend our fridge has stopped working on AC. I switched it to propane and it worked fine. After waiting a day or two I try again on AC and it works again. Go figure. We have not had a problem in many other locations including much higher...

    Traveling with Full Water Tank

    A related question... How low do you let the fresh water go before you replenish just so the pump will work properly? We always do 1/3 but I wonder if we can go much lower.

    Sticker/decal removal

    Introducing the new Escape 7! ? Well I removed the decals today and am so happy with the results. Yes there is a shadow but it's a pale greenish color that actually matches some of my interior decor haha! I used a hair dryer and found that it required quite a bit of work to pry off (using the...

    US West Coast Fall Trip Advice

    I’ll do the middle [emoji6]. You can’t go wrong at any of the state parks in Oregon but our favorite on the coast is Nehalem due to the ease of getting to the beach, nice trails, and proximity to the cute town of Manzanita. Another option is Harris Beach in Brookings which has some beautiful...

    Question about Joshua Tree NP campsites

    Also which campground are you looking at? If it’s Black Rock Canyon then you are probably ok. But the rest of the campgrounds in Joshua Tree have pretty tight roads and sites. It can be done, but not easily. Also I have to say that I used to love Black Rock because it has great hiking...

    Dogging the country

    Thank you!! I’m hoping to get another couple of years out of her. She is a fabulous camper and has been a wonderful companion.

    Dogging the country

    My little Ellie in the eastern sierras. At 16 years old she is definitely slowing down but it was just last year that she did a 5 mile hike with us in Bishop and I had to leash her on the way back down the mountain as she wanted to race back to the car to get her treats! Now she can still do a...

    Houghton A3400 install

    It should perform much better than that. Is it cycling every few minutes? If so you need to do the mod to detach the temperature sensor and move it closer to the air input. There's a separate thread on that. Here's a link to it...

    Haughton 9500, 21C, Performance in Texas Heat

    We did this mod too and it made a huge difference. I'm attaching the only pic I have of the sensor. Inside the trailer, remove the large white plastic cover. You will find this sensor on the driver side, near the back corner. Examine the styrofoam carefully and you will see it. We just...

    Sticker/decal removal

    Thanks all. Based on advice found here I watched some youtubes on this and we're going with the hair dryer and plastic razor. We won't do this until the next time we get the trailer out of storage which will be late August. But I will report back on how things went. We don't have a front...

    E2 Fastway questions - backing up and noise...

    I just saw this and realized I never followed up to my original post. We did end up getting the Fastway and I have to say it has made a night and day difference in our towing experience. We have a 2 wheel drive 2.7 F150 and in retrospect, with this light of a truck we should have had the WDH...

    Sticker/decal removal

    I'm thinking of removing the front decal on our 21. What did you use to remove the decals themselves, and how did that process go? I've never really liked the look of the front decal (it's so big on the 21) and now that it has faded, the trailer would look better without it. On the other...

    Houghton 9.6K AC Temp Mod

    Just wanted to follow up that we completed the mod and it has made a huge difference. We actually left the sensor detached but inside the housing close to the intake air. The first time the AC ran for 30 minutes without cycling. So I adjusted the set temperature to near room temp to be sure...

    Houghton 9.6K AC Temp Mod

    Oh I just figured it out. You moved it to come out the opposite side of where the final zip tie was. Duh! We will try that.

    Houghton 9.6K AC Temp Mod

    We are trying your mod and have clipped the two zip ties but are not getting any more wire. Did you have to remove anything beside the plenum in order to access the extra wire? I know it has been. While since you did this. And possibly the design has changed some. There is a thin wire that’s...

    CA | 2023, 28 Sep-1 Oct: B.A.R. (Bay Area Rally - "Light")

    Bummer - we will be camping in Oregon at that time so will miss it. But hopefully this will become an annual thing and we can join you next time!

    Prices Don't Reflect Current Exchange Rate

    I wonder … what about a Canadian citizen living in the US? My guess is that if you take delivery in the US you pay the US dollar price regardless of your citizenship. But maybe if a Canadian living in the US takes delivery in Canada and does the importing themselves they can get the Canadian...

    If You Could Read My Mind...

    It's impossible to see that title and not hear the song it came from. Same with many of the others listed in the replies above. He was definitely an icon. Fortunately we have his music to remember him by.
