Grey Wolf 26DBH Water Pressure Regulator


Use a water pressure regulator on your city water connection!  Why wouldn’t you?  Why would you risk hooking up to a water system that the water pressure is 150 psi and blow your plastic RV water lines and possibly cause extensive damage?  You can get a regulator that restricts water pressure to about 40-50 psi at Lowes, Amazon, or an RV supply store for around $9.00.  So please protect your investment and use one.

Grey Wolf 26DBH - Replacing The Kitchen Faucet

Image
While prepping food on the counter near the sink we bumped the cheap faucet handle and it cracked and came off.   While looking for ways to get under the sink to remove it and replace it with a new one I decided to remove the outside refrigerator and work through the outside access.   With the outdoor access the change was simple.   It could have been a lot more difficult if I had to go through the cabinet doors or drawers.   The fittings on the new faucet are brass and not plastic like the one I removed.   The new faucet came from Lowes and cost $99.00.

Norcold Automatic Refrigerator (Models N611V/N811V) … There is a lot of talk in the RV community about whether to travel with the refrigerator running on propane.   Many say it’s a fire hazard.   After talking with my dealer, I was assured that the refrigerators were much safer now than in years past and are designed to operate while traveling to keep food cold.   Note: It is illegal in the United States to have any propane cylinder on while traveling through a tunnel. I chose to run with the propane on and the refrigerator cooling; however, it took me three outings to figure out why it was not working. This model refrigerator has one button On/Off.   The refrigerator first looks to see if shore power (120v) is connected.   If it does not detect shore power the unit will attempt to fire up the propane burner. If propane is not available it shuts down.   The light will burn one of three colors: green for 120v, amber for propane, and red for neithe...

Grey Wolf 26DBH Holding Tanks … As most of you know travel trailers usually have three holding tanks: fresh water, grey water, and black water. Fresh Water   -   The 26DBH fresh water tank holds 46 gallons and is used when you don’t have city water hook-ups.   One gallon of water weighs approximately 8 pounds, something to consider when you are concerned about total weight of your RV.   When full the 26DBH fresh water tank holds about 368 pounds of water.   I only keep about 5 gallons of water in my fresh water tank mainly for flushing the toilet for travel stops. I suggest you run the fresh water tank near full or near empty.   The fresh water tank does not have baffles to stop liquid surge so a partially filled tank allows the water to move back and forth and could cause trailer sway.   There are plenty of good articles on the internet about how to keep this tank sanitized. Grey Water – The 26DBH grey water holds 38 gallons of water ...
