Hello Landozoor,
Thanks for the picture. It looks like you've done some nice work on your plumbing. I'm beginning what will be a major make over of my 1992 Excella and the plumbing is definitely on the list. I have the old quest supply lines which I intend to replace with PEX. I appears that you've done that and added in a brass manifold of some type as well. I'd love some details if you can spare the time.
Thanks,
Pete

Yes it requires drilling new holes. A little caulk on the threads seal them good. The gasket is 1/4” thick, so double sided tape was ruled out. But, if you didn’t use the gasket, you could use VHB tape. You could not remove it though.

That is one expensive set up!

Replaced the ten-year-old WFCO Converter main board when it failed while travelling. Found a good solution. See the whole story at:

Got the SeeLevel 709 3P and started the install this weekend. I can actually see what the fresh water level is for the first time since purchasing the trailer (and it is accurate). Black and gray tanks this week.

I upgraded both of my fantastic vent fans to have a variable speed control and a reversing switch so the fans can suck air in and out. Then variable speed control is awesome, as the fan speed is now infinitely controllable. I stole the idea from a few folks that have posted, and give them credit in my summary that can be found here:

I also added new FF fans when I had the roof coated with Bus Kote. The fans have the variable speed and reverse but not the rain sensors. I have the covers so I can leave open in rain and transport.

New bathroom sink. Got this idea from a custom 27FB AS model at the dealership.

Thanks much. It was a labor of love. The sink is by Kohler. Similar style as the Kohler one used in the new 33’ Classic bathroom. I used a vendor connection to acquire the sink. However it’s widely available online. Be aware of shipping options. Best to opt for it to be shipped on a pallet for safer delivery.

Good luck!

rfequity.....that table is absolutely gorgeous. I bet there will be a lot of owners of the Pendleton or Tommy Bahama editions that would love to know if you made it or purchased somewhere. Really great looking table. Congratulations!

Yes, the table came out real nice. One of the things I love is how you can feel the relief of the design. It feels a little carved.

Rebel water pump

After a few freshwater tank overfills when connected to city water (with proper regulator), the NEW Shurflo pump came out and the new Remco Rebel went in. Amazing performance and quiet.

Installed a Victron BMV 712 battery monitor with blutooth and bought a Renogy 100w suitcase solar.
We are 12v thrifty dry campers and after testing yesterday this is going to be just what we need.
