RE: Roadtrek fridge performance
thriftydutch: In addition to how big is your all electric fridge, do you have solar panels or just batteries? I too am getting tired of a warm fridge in hot weather and also having to worry about how level I am. I do a lot of "urban camping" and cannot put leveling blocks about or I will not be stealthy anymore.

RE: Tank level sensors
I have a 2002 Chevy 190P and the black tank lights never have shown what they should. I used an idea from "Click and Clack" and put a strip of black tape over it. I know how much is in that tank anyway, so I just ignore the lights.

RE: Question about covering the tires
What about the spare? I remove it from the van around town and keep it covered in the garage. On trips I sometimes take it along, but not always. It's hardly ever been used and has very good tread, but 7 years old. The other tires were replaced last year. Am I taking a chance?

RE: Leaving cap off drain hose on Roadtrek
I was happy to simply raise and lower the hose to drain the last of the liquid out too.... Until I came to a dump site that had a tall curb around it and my van (2002 RT 190 P) was too low to the ground for the stuff to drain uphill. Since then I put in a macerator in and it makes all the difference in the world. You might wanna look into it.

RE: Need help with fresh and hot water tanks on 2004 Roadtrek
On my Chevrolet 2002 rt 190 p the water filler is located in the rear door on the passenger side. As the water enters the van, it enters the tank under the bed area and flows from there into the tank under the floor. You can isolate the two tanks by a valve coming out from the tank under the bed. I assume this could be called the "winter" tank as it is inside the living quarters and can be kept heated in the winter. Both tanks can be used at the same time by keeping the valve between the two opened. The water just gravitates to the lower tank and the pump draws from that tank.
The valve on my van by the hot water heater directs which tank the pump takes its draw from. I refer them as interior and exterior tanks. If the valve is in the exterior (lower) tank and the valve between the tanks is open, the pump can draw from both tanks until they are empty.
If you adjust the valve and draw from the interior tank it will draw from that tank only until it is empty.
This may be different from yours, but thats how mine is set up.

RE: Tables and beds
We have a 2002 roadtrek 190p. The rear bed is a permanent mattress from IKEA and the table is under as the support. The cloverleaf table is rarely used, as we are used to using lap tables with beanbag bottoms from our previous camper.
By the way, since we use the cloverleaf rarely, I removed the "clovers" from it and just have a basic table. I was surprised that the pieces I removed weigh so much. When/if I ever sell it I will put it all back together.
