End of summer with no real trips so we are gonna go up to NC to Deep
Creek near Boone for some whitewater tubing. *Camper is still about
two weeks from completion so will be using the tent (this is tent #4
and is almost worn out).
My wife is taking me to California and I hear the water in Tahoe is
pretty cold. I don't plan on jumping in anyway.
I experienced some cold water this evening.
the water heater in the garage quit last week so until I get a new
heating element, after work showers are a bit nippy.
Both elements went out?

If it is just the top one you can jumper out the top thermostat and
run off the bottom one.

I know, but this is a single element 15 gal. job.

15? *Damn, that's small for a house in your climate. *My office has one
that size. *Does that hold up for two showers? *I have a 40 gal and the
water enters it at over 65º all year.

I have a heated garage, that we could actually live in. *concerning
the water heater, mine is a simple 120v, that hides neatly under the
counter in the garage. it's all it's used for , for me to take a
shower and clean cook-out *utensils.

Slide in camper weighs roughly 900 lbs. I levered it up and slid 2"
rollers made from pvc pipe under it to roll it out of the carport.
This went well. The job now is to get it up onto the truck. The
camper jacks will not go down far enough to allow me to lift it from
the ground with them. So, I tried to use an inclined plane made from
2 4"X4" X8' posts, couldnt get it up onto the ramp well and then could
not get rollers under it.
Plan B. Gonna lever it up bit by bit getting it onto concrete blocks
till it is high enough for the jacks to operate. Of course it is 100
effin degrees out and 99% humid.
