Today I had the pleasure of selling a beautiful fifth wheel to a wonderful family. He taught me about an RV Campground called 49er Ranch. (http://www.49rv.com/) It's located just North of Columbia, CA. There are a lot of things to do... but best of all it sounds like the perfect place to get away and do absolutely nothing! Check it out if you're going to be in the area...
Thanks again!!!

Hot Water Heater Sputtering Issues
I found this tip to be quite helpful and wanted to pass it along:
To avoid sputtering from the hot water faucets:
Purge the water through the hot water tap that is farthest from the hot water heater. Then pull the test lever on the safety valve to insure that the tank is full.
After the SYSTEM is full (that's good flow without air gaps at all appliances), turn off the water at the city source or pump, then pull the test lever on the safety valve. This will create an expansion bubble in the tank that will help keep the safety valve from releasing from expansion as the water is heated. This only works if the hot water outlet is below the expansion bubble.
Afterthought... -- Why do we call it a hot water heater? Do we heat hot water?
