The idea of trying something stupid...

[2airishuman]

hey good follow up toasty!

i'd suggest adding antifreeze to all the drain traps and 1/4 gallon or so to the toilet bowl...

antifreeze in the traps helps reduce odor migration from the tanks...

and the rubber gasket in the bowl will dry out and stick...

so next year the bowl won't seal well

or worse even leak poo smell

have a not too cold southern ohio winter!

cheers

Hi 2air,

Already did the antifreeze in the drains thing. We're hoping to make a small trip south this winter, which will break up that southern ohio winter, so we didn't want to do the pink stuff til January.

Actually, we _like_ winter. I just wish we'd get a little more of it here. Been warm and very very very dry here in the Ohio Valley. Drought stinks.

Whatcha been up to? Galavanting around the US of A as usual in that beautiful coach?

yep.

off to texas soon.

i made the mistake of not having enough water in the toilet bowl for 2 weeks this summer.

the water evaporated and the gasket stuck to the trap door...

so now i keep a little antifreeze in the john, for summer use too.

i passed thru cinci' into kentucky 3 times this year. pulling the 34 in rush hour was interesting....

see ya camping soon!

Thanks for the tip on the bicycle hand pump to pump out the lines. My partner suggested that this fall, it sounded good, but a neighbor lent me his compressor. Now I know!

Just to be extra-absolutely-sure, we blew out the lines at 45PSI with an air compressor last night, and darned if we didn't get a coupla CUPS of water between the faucets, toilet, and lowpoint drains.

blah blah blah

My manual says to blow the lines using 60 PSI. Why are you guys using less PSI? Inquiring minds want to know

HAVE USED 60PSI SINCE GETTING THE CLASSIC....NO PROBLEM

RE Pressure to blow out the lines:

Umm, the only reason I used 45 pounds was pretty much a wild guess. Figured 45 couldn't be too much, and I was too lazy to look it up.

Also, my dinky little compressor tank doesn't run outta air quite so fast at that pressure.

Lata,

as i recall the water lines are 'pressure tested' to 90 psi during construction...

so the issue is, how much air pressure is enough to move water, working line by line...

while the manual says "at least 60 psi" i question this and have done fine with much less...

i've also over shot and ruptured the pre pump filter/screen thingie...

the interior volume of the water lines isn't great and doesn't expand much, so a compressor can over shot quickly.

we discussed this issue some in another toasty's dad thread last spring...

IF using a compressor remember it should be one without internal oil lubrication...

which is another nasty taste 4 the water lines...

cheers
