RE: leaving the house empty in winter
Leaving a house empty in the winter has several dangers. The ones listed above and the major problem is if your insurance company finds out the house was empty all winter and not being lived in, than most will refuse any claim.
If you think not, than ask your insurance company and tell us what they said. If they say it's ok, please tell us what insurance company. Our insurance company says some one must be living in the house at least part time or we must hire a security company to check the house daily. It costs us twenty dollars a day for the security company. I don't even know if they show up every day, but I do know from my neighbor who lives about a quarter of a mile down the road that when he see's them go by on the way to the house it is no more than five minutes when they go by on the way out.
I'm not saying there is something wrong with the security company, just saying they hire these people at minumum wage. And you can't expect much at minumum wage.

RE: Run the trailer Converter from an Inverter?
accsys is right. Get rid of the middle men and go direct from the truck battery to the trailer battery with a jumper cable from the positive posts only. That is if the trailer is connected up to the truck. If not you will need the positive and negitive cables.
Don't make things more complicated than necessary.

RE: Water King USA Water Softener
I'm not sure where the confusion came from about the name of the product I am asking about, but it is not WATER KING it is WATER KING USA. They use two different methods to soften water. In effect the first uses salt the other uses electricity. I'm only intrested in the Water King USA which uses Electricity.If you have an opinion about the electric method please share it with us. Pro or con.
Thank You!

RE: Water King USA Water Softener
The doctors tell myself and my wife that we have to much sodium in our diet and need to cut back.You're planning on drinking a lot of softened water then?
Yes, I drink between one and two quarts a day and my wife drinks about the same.
The humidity on the Colorado River in Arizona is between 2-10% if you don't drink a lot of water you will dehydrate.

RE: 2004 Alfa Sun Stabilizer?
Thanks to "johnrbd" I believe I have now the start of a system that will work on a Alfa. John was good enough to send me pictures of his his own design and instructions.
That is the way RV.NET used to work in the past. We need more members like John.

RE: Water King USA Water Softener
The problem I have with these softeners that use salt is the fact that even though you no longer taste the salt in the water it is still there. If it wasn't the water would not be soft. Only the taste is washed out. The doctors tell myself and my wife that we have to much sodium in our diet and need to cut back.
That is the reason we are looking at this Water King USA.

2004 Alfa Sun Stabilizer?
We have a 31' 2004 Alfa Sun fifth wheel. With the front jacks cranked down and the rear scissor jack down it still rocks and bounce's. I've given some thought to raising it high enough to get the weight off the tires but not sure that would be the best treatment for the frame.
There are more than a few stablizer companies out there who swear by there methods but we tried that tripod and found that some what lacking. No returns if installed. Most of these companies seem to have the same rule. That says to me they know there system doesn't do what they say it will do for all applications.
I know the Alfa's are not built like other rigs thats why I need referals from Alfa owners.

RE: Water King USA Water Softener
Well, finally some one who has first hand experience with the Water King USA system. I knew someone must have bought one of these units. No company stays in business for over 4 years with a 100 day money back guarantee unless there units work. That doesn't mean they will work every where, but at least there is one positive vote and no negative votes as of yet. Negative votes only count when they have first hand experience.
Thats not to say I don't want every one's opinion. You have to look at both sides.

RE: Refrigerator choice
I would have to agree with the Moderator. Go with the LP-110V The 12 volt addition is not really a good thing in reefers though. The 12 volt will run your battery down to fast. Best to buy a inverter and run your reefer on 110 Volt when on unlevel ground that will not let it run on LP.

RE: Water King USA Water Softener
Well,It seems no one has had any experience with this Water King USA water softener, at least no one I can find. When I go to WK's web pages and they have a great many, I find only praise for there product. But no independent sources have anything to say, and no reviews.
Now these people have been in business for over 4 years. You can't stay in business that long without selling your product. But no one other than WK seems to carry there product. That in itself is some what strange.
Those who were willing to comment called it Snake Oil but freely admitted they had not used it themselves.
I guess It is just another product I will not buy, at least not until I have the opportunity to read some reviews pro and con.

Water King USA Water Softener
I see these advertised in the latest Good Sam and wonder if they do what they claim.
We are set up near the Colorado River at Mohave Valley, Arizona. The water here is totally bad. High calcium and high magnesium. You have to buy bottled water to drink or feed to animals and it ruins water heaters and leaves calcium deposits on anything it touchs.
The Water King USA System sounds great but the question is, is it just hype or is it for real. The cost is $349 plus $20 shipping.
If any one has tried it give us all your opinion. Pro or con.
If you haven't tried it give us your opinion any way.
