Since then we have been admiring the beauty and prepping for first, a 3 night shakedown without any hookups at the beach, and then a round trip from RI to Austin, TX for 3 weeks in October. That trip will be Harvest Host stops while enroute, 7 nights in CG in Austin, and more HH stops on the return trip. We might do a 3 night with hookups in between.

The list of what we have bought for her (IRVina) is extensive, including:

2022 GMC Yukon SLT (Diesel) (Irving) to tow with
Anderson WDH
LevelMatePro
Anderson Leveler blocks
MasterLock Trailer Lock (so no one can hitch and run)
TireLINK TPMS
EZ Coupler Valve Cap w/ Handle (for waste drain)
AcuRite Digital Wireless Fridge and Freezer Thermometer with Alarm
Ultra ES Pro Bluetooth Electronic Lock
Clearsource Premier RV Water Filter System
RV Cup Holder Button Guard and Cover for Thomas Payne
Camco Heavy Duty Double Battery Box with Straps and Hardware
12 Inches Battery Iverter Cables Set with Terminals
2nd Interstate SRM-24 81AH 140RC 690 MCA Deep Cycle Battery

This list does not include several incidental security, kitchen, bedding, decor, etc items.

Everything but the battery were purchased through Amazon.

Correction: The new door lock came from RV Locks and More

Few weeks back my AC Compressor froze and some foam and the belt went up in smoke as I pulled into driveway. The model #TM-1was barely readable, the brand ZEXEL was highly faded and rest of info was unreadable and so I took the unit to NW cummins, they no longer stock compressors for the 400 motors, nor could they identify what model is is. Off to Valley Freightliner, they looked thru several catalogs for 40 minutes and came up with nada. Went to several auto parts places including 2 Napa's, could not identify unit. A couple auto shops that do ac but they said the compressor is too big for them. ??
Got online and found Auto Air Online (florida), called them about 11 pm eastern time, left a message expectating a call back the next day and 10 minutes later a guy called back. Told him my delima and he said to send him a side view pic of unit. Did that and 5 minutes later he called and told me what I had. Said he could sell me one for $235. He gave me measurements and it looked right. Came quickly (shipped from Reno next day) and it was a perfect match.
Zexel is now Seltec

It is a Seltec TM-16HS Compressor With Clutch & 2/ Groove Pulley 12V

Installed with new belt. This belt only goes to compressor so no issues with anything else.

I can recommend Auto Air Online https://www.autoaironline.com/

11 towel hangers, 6 of which have actually been installed in the MH. The kitchen had no place to hang towels. It now has 2 bars & I may add a third. The bath had one ring and one double hook. The double hook was replaced with a triple bar swing out hanger and 12", 18" and 24" bars were added. The ring was poorly located and is now unused.

Flush ball gasket. DW complained about the smell.

A new relief valve for the water heater. It kept leaking after blowing off some pressure. Then I bought another relief valve as of course the first one was the wrong size.
Second one fit. Upon inspection the original seemed to have a bit of debris in it which was preventing it from closing. So it was probably OK but it's "blown off" a couple of times and I wonder if it wasn't a little weak. Going on 30 years old.

The hose I replaced had started leaking at the female fitting where the two pieces are crimped together.

This is the hose I bought a few years back. Male end is one piece machined fitting. Female end nut is very heavy duty have left it hooked up for weeks at a time pressurized never a leak. Fittings look like stainless steel but are nickel plated brass.

Those pesky little grommets in the wash machine hookups. Of course you buy the fittings to rob just the rubber washer. Lowe's sells sharbite brand and they come unassembled so no damages to the new ones getting them off the fitting.

???? No context for the question. Its best to quote the post you are referring to. I went back two pages and still had no clue. -Bill

Three purchases this month.

• MicroAir thermostat, old Coleman thermostat took a dive
• Blinker switch, right blinker functionality no longer worked
• "Portable" RV garage. We moved to a new place that has room for the Grizz, so no more paying for storage. Only took four of us a day and a half to put it together.
