LEDs

These are the ones I ordered from 2011_led for my Hideout's interior lights;
10x-T10-194-921-168-Bulb-Lamp-24-1210SMD-LED-Warm-White
I needed 15 LED's so I ordered 2 sets @ $17.88



LED is on the left, regular 921 incandescent on the right;



Every one clicked in easily, the entire changeover took less than 5 minutes, and now I've got 5 spare LEDs and 15 spare bulbs just in case.

One little thing I had to fix is the fuse panel door, the small 'clicker' latch a the top center appears to be broken, it doesn't latch and the fuse panel ends up falling open.

(right in the top center of the panel is the little clicker-latch;


When we bought it the PO had a strip of electrical tape holding it closed,

I ended up connecting with John at WFCO tech support and he sent me over 2 new clickers, one worked like a charm and the other went into my 'spares' toolbox.

I wish other companies had such great tech support.

Here is the plumbing setup I used to replace the Lakeview RV Supply Model 1000 vacuum break valve that sprayed all over the inside of the cabinet the first time I tried it.. Discussed here and here..

Replaced it with two sharkbite 90 bends and a sharkbite checkvalve plus a vacuum break at the attachment outside when I'm using it.



Also tracked down the proper propane fittings to allow me to run both a Coleman stove and our BBQ off of a 20lb tank at the picnic table, It's got a QCC for the bbq and a POL for the stove;

Spent the evening cleaning out the trailer and wiping out every corner, now anything in there is our mess

Realized that I had missed the stove light while I was LED'ing everything- happy to find it was another 921 bulb so I already had a replacement LED for it.

I've dewinterized and am currently sanitizing the tanks..
btw, this forum is awesome, I'm glad I found it.
