Are the power outlets on the outside? Did not see any on my "brief" tour of the MH.
Salesman had no clue!

Tom:
There is a power outlet inside the basement on the wall on the left.

Also, is there an outside connection for a portable sat receiver?

The wires from my satellite antenna come through the roof into the cabinet above, and just behind the co-pilots seat. It is wired into the switch box so I can select to watch Directv on any/all of my 3 TV’s. I also store my Directv receiver in this same cabinet. I had to drill a hole through the shelf to more easily route my wires. I also have my Blue Ray player in the same cabinet and hooked up to the same switch box. There is an external connection for connecting campground cable or an external antenna and it is located in the wet bay where the dump valves are located.

You may be using the small water restrictor that is sold as a regulator. The one I am speaking of is about 1" diameter x 3 - 4" long and is installed in-line between the supply and your coach water inlet. If you were to use a pressure gauge in the line downstream from the unit you would find that with all flow shut off the pressure in your coach will climb to the same pressure as the supply pressure. Do yourself a favor and get a real water regulator like a Watts.... one with a pressure gauge so that you will know what pressure you are sending into the coach. I think you will be happy with the results.

Thanks, I have the one you described as being about 1" in diameter x 3 - 4" long. I'll try a Watts. Is that the H560 model? Do you still connect it between the hose and the water outlet from the park?

Jerry, my blowout was caused by a inside rear tire flexible stem to air up the tire. It was clipped to the wheel and evidently came loose and beat a hole in the tire. The tire changer told me to get rid of them and get the solid ones used by 18 wheelers....I did.

I see the newer units come with a more professional fill tubes. My Bounder is a 1999 and had none...a tire guy added them for me. If your inside tire goes, most likely it will take out the outside one too.

I was running my normal curuse speed of 62 and it went off like a bomb...(I have heard a few) my unit went back and forth and I thought I was going to crash...but got it under control.....busiest 6 seconds of my life...as I was on a Dallas interstate and it was busy at 5:00 in the evening rush hour...I was lucky.

Good luck. George Lewis

Thanks George, good info on something to be careful about.

I use the Watts H560 regulator on our system. There is a lable inside the water compartment that states max system pressure is 100 psi.
Our older class c was 30 psi.
I have the Palazzo set at 60 psi and get great water pressure inside. Could not find in the manual what the max water pressure is.
