Jerry's Hurricane mods

Hey Jerry is that a wood shower mat? I got a feeling your going to cost me more money...

I like that idea if it is... better shower floor support, since we know they flex a little.

I have yet been able to figure where my access panel is to build a better support the shower floor, if this is a wood shower mat, can you share link?

Anything you do or don't like about it?

Thanks

Yes it helps a lot. Only negative is water and soap accumulates under it. So after showering we lift it up and lean it against the back shower wall

To accest the pea trap and "soft spot" look above the rear tires. You'll see the screws and access panel. I never opened it or reinforced the floor

Did the old shower door break? Or do you want a new look?

I'll order the new Nautilus shower door and will update this when installed

Right now I have to remove the old caulking and clean the sides and bottom of the track area. It's pretty gross. Amazing what can accumulate under the track. And Maria scrubs the shower like crazy

I just got one today. Never thought my shower would be smaller than yours…. But it is. Oh well should have measured.

What are you all using for OBD engine monitoring? I want to be able to see mpg through an app on my phone. It looks like many were using Torque Pro but it looks like it doesnt work any more? Also what bluetooth OBD device are you using?

[halfprice]

I use Scan Guage. Not Bluetooth but works well. I monitor engine, tranny temps and mpg

It's on all the time when driving and sits on the dash by tge Guage

I try to keep up with Jerry, but he is younger, faster and even more mechanically inclined than I.
The latest is a temperature and pressure balanced shower valve that really works. DW is very happy and she is an interior designer.

I think I disagree with your first statement

Can you tell me more about shower valve. How does it work

During our last trip the toilet started acting up. It worked but when you flush it made a loud clicking or popping sound. Have no idea what it was. Also you had to lift up on the foot pedal to make the flapper seat into the gasket to hold water

I found the following video on youtube on how to rebuild the toilet He does a good job showing the steps

https://youtu.be/1PeP_Ci0xa4

Ordered the parts and today replaced them all

Also decided to replace the seat with a slow closing one I got at camping World No more waking Maria up when I let the lid slam shut

Fairly easy job. Hardest part was putting the seat on because I did it after installing tge toilet back in the mh. My fat hands had a hard time getting behind and under the toilet

Lesson learned put seat on while toilet is out. The other real problem was the new seat was for a dometic toilet. Had to cut the decorative back cover plate to make it fit properly You can't see the cuts they face the wall

It's now smooth and quite No more clicking or popping

Sorry bad pics I had already cut power to the mh

The left end is the flow control. It regulates the water flow into the mixing chamber. It contains two separate valves then ensure the hot and cold water pressure entering the mixing chamber are at the same pressure. To illustrate, if someone opens the cold water faucet and the pressure to the cold water side of balance valve changes, the valve decreases the hot water pressure going to the mixing chamber the same amount.
The thermostat is on the right end of the shower valve and it monitors the temperature of the water leaving the mixing chamber (it is calibrated in centigrade (30C = 86F; 40C= 104F etc) and adjust the hot water flow to the mixing chamber to maintain the set temperature even if the cold or hot water temperature changes. The red pin is the temperature lock and when out is only allows the temperature to be set from 20 to 38 C degrees. Pressing the pin down, allows the temperature to be set up to 55 C degrees (131 F). This is an anti-scald feature.

Interesting. So you remove the old shower valves and this unit comes with the fittings that screw in where the values were. Am I understanding that correctly
