All very true, but you'd still have to seal the hole some way to keep the dust/dirt and critters out of it.
 
I like the idea of digging out the dirt if no other options fit.

I had the qt accum in my other trailer,I removed it to put in the 09 and haven't done it yet.I also used the braided water lines  and thought together my pump wasn't bad.I may get this done this winter.If nothing else the accum cuts down the run time and that helps also.I don't like my pump, it needs a wider span on the pressure switch.But I think I have spent enough money and time and not going worry about a little noise.Its not like it runs all the time.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:39:42 +0000 http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1248&PID=12206#12206 Upgrades and Modifications : in search of a quite water pump!! http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1248&PID=12205#12205 Author: Stan

Seems to me about two years ago this was discussed and some bought a new pump that were designed to be very quiet.  Not sure what the number on the Shurflo pump was but I recall them saying the difference in noise was significant...no pulsation.  I added an accumulator tank to stop my T&P valve from dripping in the back of the water heater.  It made no affect on the pump noise.  Mine is bad as well and someday a new pump will be installed.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:30:21 +0000 http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1248&PID=12205#12205 Upgrades and Modifications : in search of a quite water pump!! http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1248&PID=12204#12204 Author: pulpwood007

Doubt that I'll remove all the noise from my 12 volt water pump, but I'm at least trying to quieten it down a bit. 

Crossroads now supply's flexible tubing from the water pump to the rigid PEX tubing.  This certainly helps dampen the vibration.  I added several pieces of the foam pipe insulation where the PEX tubing goes through walls to prevent vibration, and also put 4 mouse pads (foam backing) under the water pump to better insulate it from the floor.  So far I can tell a remarkable difference.

Has anyone seen any noise reduction with the water accumulator tank?  I'm aware it is primarily used to prevent the pump from cycling so much, but I'm wondering if it will do anything to reduce noise. 

Unfortunately in my 29RK I don't have a good place to mount a 2 gal. tank, and I'm really wondering if the ShurFlo 1 qt. tank would have any benefits at all.

Here are the battery boxes in our CF30SK.  They are for size 24 batteries.  I drilled two large holes in the covers to vent any gases from the batteries.  On the left of the battery compartment is the vent connection for the original battery  box.

They claimed our 5er was 11' 8"   and that is just what it measures. I have a 12 ft. door. When we were looking for a unit that was one of the requirements----it had to fit through my door.
We had a HH a few years ago and I fought it tooth and nail trying to make it fit. Finally ended up renting storage for the off season. If you do try and make it fit, make sure you're not backing up hill to get it in. That will raise the rear more. Also remember, when and if you get it in there, you still have raise it up MORE to get out from under it.

Al:
That's quite a list you compiled. Did you miss HH--- Nu-Wa? Maybe they fall under one of the ones you have on your list. All said, there is some pretty big names there.

Well the good news is that every death seems to have spawned new start ups. For example, the re-birth of Teton Homes, Pilgrims designer's and materials people started Everlite (all composite, no wood products), Glacier RV has started a direct-to-consumer high end 5th wheel product, Weekend Warrior may restart under a another group...
 
Thankfully THOR and Cruiser have done a fantastic job floating above other's in the economic downturn and seem well positioned to gain more market share.
