Two-week review: Lights, Plumbing, Heating, Appliances
- A couple of days ago, the ring around the
dinette faucet base worked loose and gave us a dynamic blast of water from
ceiling to closet mirror and beyond. Repair was simple reassembly and
tightening. We’ll be checking it periodically from now on.
- There are plenty of lights and they work great.
We upgraded to the LED light package
- The water pump doesn’t really like our method of
stingy water use and turning the pump on and off all the time. It would prefer
owners who use water freely and leave the pump turned on between water uses. It
doesn’t like to deal with small bursts of water. We're changing our ways.
- We deleted the range hood and added one light
where the range hood normally goes. I especially like this light position
because although there are lights at each end of the bed which are good for
reading, I choose to use the extra light over the stove when I read at night
and Great Husband is sleeping. It doesn’t shine in his face, and it is easy to reach
around the wall by the stove and turn that extra light on and off without
getting out of bed.
- We like the location of the thermostat because
you can adjust it without getting out of bed.
- Oh, that Maxx fan! We love it! Open just one
window in the area where you are sitting or sleeping for the most pleasing draw
of fresh air.
- We’ve been mostly boondocking and
haven’t yet used the microwave which we had installed. Right now it is a great
bread box!
- The refrigerator is really easy to convert
between electric and propane operation.
- The kitchen faucet drips a small bit during
travel, and so far I’ve just punched a hole through the side of a paper cup and
slid that onto the top of the faucet to catch the little bit of water.
- Sometimes the water from our fresh water tank
tastes of plastic, and sometimes it doesn’t. We haven’t figured out why.
- We wish we had added a 12-volt receptacle inside
the camper so we could use the computer longer when we don’t have shore power.
- So far the limiting factor on boondocking seems
to be water, either running out of water in the fresh-water tank or reaching
full on one of the other tanks. Electricity and propane have not been
constraints.
