Hello, just looking for some idea/thoughts on this problem-

I'll do both. I will first put water in the fresh tank, then dewinterize the system using the pump. When I unbypass the hot water heater, I'll use city water hook up to fill the hot water tank, then...

Makes sense. My old TT had a ceramic lined hot water heater, and an anode rod wasn't necessary because of that. What about draining after each trip, what do you think of that practice? I mean if...

Repairing scratches to the linoleum floor

Hello all,

Totally taking a stab at it, but try looking inside your storage- in my Xlite I can take the wall down to access the underbelly/goodies that are underneath the floor, at least slightly. If you have a...

John,

I wish mine had that access panel; I have a solid wall on that side of the undersink cabinet. That would have made things a breeze. (Actually, that's where I'm probably going to create my...
