General Discussion / New flooring

« on: April 19, 2019, 01:55:33 pm »

Has anyone installed waterproof laminate plank flooring?  The manufacturers will not warranty the floors in an rv, but we were told to leave 1/4 inch all around for expansion, and we would be fine.  The flooring is beautiful but wondering if it would hold up and about more noise when traveling?  Thank you for your thoughts!

Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions.  We are off on a 30 day adventure ( 3 weeks in) and are dumping the traditional way.  As soon as we get home and clean everything out, we look forward to seeing why the maciator pump stopped and trying all of your suggestions.  We think at one time our rv had a mice problem, and we are finding electrical problems, perhaps the electrical to the M Pump died.  Or it is just stuck?  In a post I read that mice like to go up the A Columns, which I am assuming are are at the back of the cab on either side, and then mice got in the tv area........
I can hear Everyone’s collective shudder (electrical problems) but we paid so little we have a little left to put back into “her”.  We had forgotten how fun it is to be “on the road”!

Hi, I am a new Phoenix Cruiser owner.  I scored a 2007 PC 2400 with only 9100 miles on it and 2 hours on the generator — we are loving it, and we are off on a grand adventure.  Unfortunately when we went to dump for the third or fourth time, the Sanicon system failed — we rushed to Walmart and got normal 3” sewer hoses and emptied the tanks.  I want to confirm we did it right — just hooked up the 3” line and pushed the black tank button open, emptied, left the black tank open, opened the grey tank and emptied (thru the black tank, I think) closed both tanks and done.  I don’t want to “hurt” the system as we are miles and miles from home.  Also notice a little drip from the back 3” opening which we will stop at Camper World to get a screw on manual sewer valve so I don’t get any “surprises”.  Any technique comments are appreciated!  We rved for years and now my husband can’t drive, so I bought this and we are “on the road again”.  So happy!

Thank you, Ron Dittmer, for your post regarding your 2007 Tripp-Lite inverter.  I was thrilled to learn I could turn off the Inverter on the unit itself, and the disconnect cable to the battery was right where you said it was.  We were out on our maiden voyage in the forest and our battery drained within 24 hours (to our horror)!  Your post saved us $$ in a service call.  We are reading all of your posts and appreciate all of your hints and suggestions.
