Anodes in water heaters. Easily over looked.
(

(Preview)
I admit I should have checked this a year ago. Gas HWS in motor home. The anode was nearly all sacrificed, and caused a weird odor in the hot water. Most anodes are cheaper on Ebay. Got to it time before tank corrosion sets in. -- Edited by Vanderee on Tuesday 4th of November 2014 12:17:24 PM

(Preview)
Has anyone tried either of the common types of air flow modification to reduce drag? The two I am aware of are: 1. Rooftop mounted deflectors, designed to push the fast moving air stream higher thus reducing the air pressure on the front of the caravan. An example of this would be Aeroplus, which is desi...
