OT - What are you doing right now?

I'm about to be standing in a plumbing aisle trying to figure out exactly what I need to plumb up my trailer. Then in the electrical aisle working that out.  

I decided to go with a deep cycle marine battery and a 4 stage charger mounted on the trailer and run 12v rope lights, 12v water pump (which has an automatic pressure switch that cuts off when the faucet is turned off) and a 3 outlet cigarette lighter port so I can charge my cell phone or run a small inverter to power a stoker for temp monitoring.  I'll rig 3 switches. One for the lights on the bottom of the trailer frame. One for the task lights. And one for the water pump.  

Plumbing should be a bit easier. I want an inlet for a hose, I have the pump for the 55g tank. And I just need to get it all to work right with the tankless heater.

I'm pretty sure I can do all this myself. (I want to get it done before Feb 9, so I'll have about 3-4 days to figure it out. And I'm off 3 of those days.

You probably know but the shark bite fitting make plumbing really easy. Not cheap but man it's nice to just push them on.

@Lit Was the Rambler just sitting there or what caused the failure?

I had just filled it with ice water and was drinking out of it when it happened. Sucks they aren't open on the weekends to file a claim. 

@Lit ... from your picture it doesn't look like there is any sealant nor welding involved in keeping the air out ... just the vacuum itself and a press fit ... yes/no?

Duct tape will allow you to limp into next week ... can't believe a Yeti owner only has one though!  

Just the vacuum keeping it on. I have 3 20 oz and a colster only 1 30 though.

Man, I don't know squat really. I've done a good bit of aquarium plumbing but that's it.

Home Depot sells shark bite brand lowes sells some called blue something. They are compression fitting for your pressurized lines so instead of soldering you just push them hard onto your copper pipe and that's it. Really easy and even nicer say your pump goes out they are removable with a tool they sell for like $2 so you slide it off switch the pump and push it back on.

I'm sure come Monday they'll make it right for you. Please update. I'm curious if response time. And also if they require a receipt. That would suck. I gave a lot of these for Christmas and obviously didn't give them a receipt with their gift.

My 30 oz rambler died. Heard a pop and the bottom came off. Hopefully their customer service is as good as I have heard.

Get an RTIC next instead.  Not sure if you've heard of them though.  Like half the price of Yeti, and better. 








I kid....  

Yeah, when mine gets here next year, I'm pretty sure that won't happen. If it's the correct size, that is.

Just stuck a beer into a pretty new cooler.  Better ice retention than Yeti and was MUCH cheaper too.  

If it wasn't so seasonal, they'd drive them right out of business.

I thought for the prices you pay to join the YETI club that you get an embossed gold card with the CEO's personal cell number for 24/7 access.

Shark bite fittings are great but make sure you really clean and smooth the ends of the pipes and the fittings are seated to the proper depth.

I am pretty disappointed that they aren't open on Saturday.

Have you tried a rub called Everglades? A friend from Florida is visiting and he raves about it. However I trust Floridians about as much as I trust liberals so I thought I would ask you brother Husker.

@NPHuskerFL - I forgot to say above, great looking grub my friend.

Thanks for compliment. And I haven't tried it.

I I think he was referring to the exploits of Florida Man and the fact that it's the worst state in the Union.

Worst state?  ****, Illinois can't even get that right.

Got 2-10 lb. pork shoulders on the XL.  Just hoping they finish sometime soon.  Been going since before noon.  Would like to get to sleep before the sun comes up.

They might get finished by 0300?

I thought I was finally going to get them off a little bit ago.  Maverick showed 203.  But when I thermo-probed them, they were still in the mid 180's..  Maverick probe happened to be in a hot spot.  So I moved it.  Oh well.  Have to see what's on the tube.
