Hot water and boondocking
Bill,
I don't know if my previous post made it, I got a bad message, so here I go again. Nice find on the Chilipepper. I may even install one in my house. I need to install a bypass for the hot water heater in the Bird for winterization, so it might be a good time to install one of these as well. I had to replace the ice maker module in the U-line, and the microwave krumped, so I don't think the Chilipepper will be on the imediate horizon. I was thinking I might paint the Bird Visa blue with Red ink trim. What do you think? Gardner 78FC33 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Bill" wrote: > > Hi all: > Back onto this topic.
