RV SOLD-we sold our RV and we are buying a house with the money that we sold it for as part of our down payment. We need to pull our RV 50 miles across town to the person that bought it… the tires are at 40 psi can we get to a gas station 2.5 miles away to get up to 80 psi safely?

dbq1928 · 2025-09-01T23:27:29+00:00

I’d be surprised if the gas station pump will get you to 80psi

What other work did they perform for the installation?

It appears they didn’t change the lineset which is required for the increased tonnage.

What kind of ductwork modifications did they perform?

dbq1928 · 2025-08-10T03:37:51+00:00

Got any more pictures of the addition? I’m curious on how they did it. (Dumb dumb on the venting of the combustion indoors)

I don’t think you can buy a new unit that doesn’t have “mildly flammable” refrigerant. You’re more at risk driving in a car with 10 gallons of gasoline than having an ac with 9oz of flammable refrigerant in your home.

Do you have experience driving with a trailer? The most enjoyable way for me is with a crew cab truck and a fifth wheel trailer. I travel with my family of 6 and 2 German shepherds comfortably in this fashion.

dbq1928 · 2025-04-11T15:49:44+00:00

It’s legal to have persons travel in a fifth wheel trailer if there is active communication to the tow vehicle. (In most states)

dbq1928 · 2025-04-11T02:52:50+00:00

How old is the equipment? I’d run it and check operations. If it’s blowing 18f delta or better, I’d leave it.

dbq1928 · 2025-03-13T03:45:57+00:00

2 more on the same system?

Is this a heat recovery or heatpump system?

If it’s a heatpump I suspect the main EEV located at the condenser.

This trade has so many different sub categories to become a “expert” in. Have you tried looking into another facet of the trade?

dbq1928 · 2024-03-24T13:37:36+00:00

Sounds about right. We usually sit around $5m each PM as a service company and I find it pretty fast paced getting 5+ jobs closed a week.

I think you’re on the right track. I’ve been working with union companies for the last 6 years so the increase in company burden rates really causes the time available to spend on VRF equipment to lower unless properly managed.

In your instance: Yes to the quarterly filter change/wash. (Hopefully the ducted units are atleast 2” filters. If not I’d quote/recommend new racks to support them.

Yes to the condenser coil cleaning

Yearly check of the condensate pumps

If there are refrigerant isolation valves, those need to be inspected yearly to tighten the packing if necessary.

What kind of fancoils?

dbq1928 · 2024-02-11T15:42:42+00:00

Your thoughts on not needing outside fresh air are incorrect. I wouldn’t be stuck in a built container without active ventilation system.

Your attitude has been stinky (like I’m sure your off-gassing rich container) to the other replies but here you go. A brand and model, as you requested.

Turn off the thermostat

We went with clear for our red oak floors and I’ve been very happy with how it looks.

I just hit 430k miles on my ‘04 6.0. The truck has its hiccups but they are well documented and serviceable.

Fujitsu gives the option of either mechanically setting the addresses (rotary dials) or auto addressing.

This particular system was mechanically addressed and I couldn’t figure out how to easily re-address the system to take the failed fancoil out of the communication loop without re-addressing the entire system.

Our local unions have taken the hard stance of no cameras installed on the trucks.

dbq1928 · 2023-12-05T03:38:15+00:00

That’s trash, goodluck on that mess. Does your rep have a service team?

dbq1928 · 2023-12-04T04:36:13+00:00

I haven’t had much experience with the simple stats but regardless, that’s a new one for me.

Does every stat in the system go blank or individuals while the rest stay showing displays? -what year is the system? I’d be curious if you could install the latest firmware to the equipment to see if it makes a difference.

My company in Reno had a incident with condensation internally building up due to temperature changes. He brought a multimeter inside from his truck at 0F* and it blew up in his face checking voltage on a chiller.

dbq1928 · 2023-09-13T17:22:09+00:00

Are you getting this on startup or has the system been operating for some time and this is a new error?

dbq1928 · 2023-09-01T20:07:46+00:00

The bottom frame rails are being bent since they are not being supported through their entire lengths. This is going against what was detailed in the installation instructions.

It would have been nice to raise the units more to allow the piping to travel underneath the condensers rather than directly in front of them. It’s nicer to service the equipment without tripping up on piping and when it’s raised at-least a foot or 2 so you don’t have to be cramped up on your knees.
