Tips and Tricks from the Experts!! Well, and frequently asked questions.

Smelly water? No, really smelly water - like sulfer smell? Most likely it's coming from the water heater, but the fresh tank maybe too. 
The cause of this varies with the source of your water and the temperatures outside. Stagnant/standing water and heat/no circulation = yuck! 
 
Ok. So here's what we suggest you do.
 
1. Turn off and then DRAIN YOUR WATER HEATER COMPLETELY and put plug back in
2. Drain fresh water tank 
3. Add some bleach to where you fill your fresh tank (depending on the size of the fresh water tank) 1-3 cups. 
4. Fill fresh water tank, if smell is really bad maybe only fill it about 1/3 - 1/2 full
5. If you can drive it around now and let the water slosh around in the tank it helps more so. 
6. Now go in and run all faucets on the HOT side for awhile, then the cold.
7. Drain water heater and fresh tank again and refill. 
 
Generator ran fine and now it cranks but won't start?
The first thing to check is that your gas tank is above 1/4 of a tank.  They have automatic shut offs at 1/4 of a tank, so you do not run yourself out of gas! 
 
A mental note for you regarding your rooftop A/C and extremely hot temperatures. 
A RV rooftop air conditioner only cools 20-25 degrees below the ambient temperature. That means if it's 100 degrees outside the roof-air will only cool the air down to about 80 degrees. So hopefully you already know the drill, turn it on early in the morning for it to catch up, keep all blinds shut, open main and window awnings for the maximum amount of shade, do not cook indoors, and clean or replace the air filter when needed. Oh! and keep kiddos from going in and out and in and out.... =)
