12v outlets, quieter AC, move BW flush

When you mention water spewing every where, was it inside or outside?

The fans in the furnace and a/c are both annoyingly loud; but, I think that's almost unavoidable in a small camper. In our homes, the fans are in another room and/or on another floor. In a small camper, they're only a few inches or feet away.

I'm not sure how it is on other models; but on our 173, the black water and gray water have two separate drains. It is an absolute pain to have to hook up twice to dump, and it makes things a litte trickier to park the camper in just the right position to avoid having to move for the 2nd dump.

Originally posted by waterflaws I forgot to open the outlet on the other side, when I turned on the water hose. The pressure ruptured the seal (or something), and now it sprays all over the place unless I hold the hose just  right.  I'm hoping I can fix it, somehow, or replace it.  Should I have used the pressure-reducer?

Forgetting to open the outlet would not cause this-  if the outlet was closed you'd just fill up the tank and eventually have water coming out the roof vent..
Have you checked to make sure the rubber washer is in the fitting?   Same as in a garden hose female fitting.
The hose to the tank also might have a kink if water is spraying out with a good rubber washer.

my late '14 (built January 31st 2014) has the blackwater flush on the curb side of the camper. They moved that to the street side? I too wish I had that.
