Re: Wintering in potentially freezing conditions, watermaker?
Just found the answer to the dehumidifier drainage question in another thread about wintering. Use the depth transducer hole. Perfect!

When to use Running Back Stays and Onan Control Board PCB
Alan,
Probably about $2k NZ for the board. I recently helped an owner source a OEM board for about $1300 US.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your reply. Great to see an Amel that actually uses the Spade. Your additional roller is very clever, it seems to really improve things.
