While installing my WDH brackets on the trailer last night, I had to loosen the gas and electrical lines. Started really looking at the gas lines under the trailer and found a major kink...like when you over bend a garden hose and it kinks flat. This was the major supply line at the aluminum manifold where the other lines split out. FR had turned this line 180 degrees back toward the front of the trailer and not allowed enough length of the line for the bend. The hose was flat at the bend! When using the stove, I had noticed a very long delay for the gas to get to the burners and we were having fridge starting issues on our trips using gas.....makes wonder if this was the problem. I re-positioned the manifold and lines as best I could to reduce the kink considerably. It really needs a longer hose to make it right. Eager to try to the gas appliances now. ------------- Mark Concord, NC 2017 RP 179 "Podzilla" 2011 Silverado 1500 4X4 |
