Blue Ox Patriot Braking System vs. Competition
elkhartjim replied to mapdlpurdy's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I have the M&G Engineering proportional braking system and it only comes on when I apply pressure to my brake pedal sending air to the Jeep brakes. I want all the wheels I can get braking when I apply the motorhome brakes and the harder I apply pressure in the motorhome, the harder the Jeep brakes are applied. The exhaust brake has no affect on the toad brakes. -
Baseplate Installation-- Memphis TN Area
elkhartjim replied to tguthrie's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I'm installing a Blue Ox baseplate on my 2014 Jeep JKU Wrangler tomorrow. This will be my third install - 2011 Malibu, 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ. The Jeep are easy. If your mechanically inclined and have a the necessary tools, its a doable DIY project. I prefer the separate bulb vs the diodes. I used diodes on the Malibu and they were a constant problem. I will install the M&G Engineering brake system next. Camping World has a special installation price if you purchase the baseplate from them. I believe its $29 or $39. -
You may need to check if your heater is working properly. My heater light comes on even in 90+ degree temperatures. The colder it is the longer it will stay on. At 30 degrees I would guess my heater light will stay on 10 seconds, maybe a little longer. Sorry...didn't mean to hijack the thread.

I did a chapter search and apparently this chapter never formed. A call to FMCA may get a better answer.

OP signed up May 2, made two posts and has not signed in again. Unfortunately, this is becoming more and more common for this forum. I wonder why? Any ideas?

Bizsmith, I think they are suggesting backing the toad only, not the motorhome. I always back my Wrangler to lock at least one arm, turn the toad steering wheel about a 1/4 turn in the direction of the unlocked arm and when I pull the motorhome forward the unlocked arm will quickly lock. This is the information provided by a Blue Ox customer service rep when I bought my Blue Ox tow bar.

Use the 50 amp and sell or give away the 30 amp. Keep the 30amp to 50 amp adapter for when you only have 30 amp available. Call Progressive Industries customer for verification - 919-462-8280

Gas Cook Top Lights Intermittently
elkhartjim replied to AnnAndrews's topic in Systems and Appliances
Do you also have an oven? If so, will it light? This is the link for service http://www.rvcomfort.com/suburban/service/repairs.php -
I installed mine. I removed the power cable from the transfer switch, decided the best location to permanently mount the unit, cut the correct length of cable from the power cable that would be used to go from the unit to the transfer switch, completed the wiring between the unit and the transfer switch and connected the power cord to the unit before I attached the unit to the service bay wall. I found it much easier to work with the heavy gauge wire outside the bay. Installation time was less than an hour. My point is, anyone with some wiring experience can do the install. If you are near me, north of Houston, I would be happy to help you install it. BTW...in my opinion, you made a great choice purchasing the Progressive Industries unit.

I didn't know a gas pusher was ever made, but here is a FMCA write-up. http://www.fmcmagazine.com/back-issues/2007/november/6288-winnebago-destination-37g

20% full sounds wonderful, unless they park the 20% all together. On a recent 5 week 3000 mi trip, most of the campgrounds were near capacity. I guess I'm not sure what a "camping club" is. Are you referring to something like Thousand Trails or Escapees?

Anyone Using "Car In Tow" Sign On Toad?
elkhartjim replied to Bluebirds's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
"I am having one made-- if it looks good, may start a cottage industry!" Just remember your less fortunate friends and those of us not smart enough to think of things like hula hoops. -

Anyone Using "Car In Tow" Sign On Toad?
elkhartjim replied to Bluebirds's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I've never had therefore never used a car in tow sign and I can't remember seeing one after driving 50,000+ the last 8 years. Never thought much about it and I assume its not a legal requirement. I'm interested to hear others experience. -
Water Pressure Regulator: Built-in or Add to Hose?
elkhartjim replied to gbellar's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
I use the Watts Lead Free Adjustable 263A-LF Regulator because it has the higher flow rate of 4 - 4.5 gpm vs 2 - 2.5 gpm. As Bill stated, if the campground pressure is 50 psi and my regulator is set for 60 psi, I will only have 50 psi available. I guess the OP moved on...again. I hope he found his answer. http://www.rvwaterfilterstore.com/PressureRegulators.htm -
Tip For Keeping Your Black Water Tank Clean

Gordon, By chance were your tires manufactured by Goodyear? There have been issues with front tires wearing like you're describing - rivering. It has nothing to do with alignment or balancing.

Its the added features I like with the Progressive Industries. It, Progressive Industries, doesn't give a caution light, it will not allow power to the coach if there is an open ground, open neutral or reverse polarity. There is a time delay for the air conditioners re-starting if there is a power blip. Huge added features as far as I'm concerned. If there should ever be a computer failure, there is a jumper wire so you can get service while PI overnights you a new board at no cost. They truly have a Lifetime Waranty. Its available at Tweety's for less than $200 and it doesn't hum.

I highly recommend buying a product not ony for surge protection but also power (voltage and wiring) protection. I installed the EMS-LCHW50 hardwired unit manufactured by Progressive Industries in my power basement upstream of the transfer switch. It has saved me numerous times from high voltage, low voltage and wiring issues. http://www.progressiveindustries.net/ http://www.progressiveindustries.net/ems_lchw50.htm

Water Pressure Regulator: Built-in or Add to Hose?
elkhartjim replied to gbellar's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
Are you concerned with pressure or flow? I bought my regulator from the RV Water Filter Store several years ago and I regulate the pressure to 60#. http://www.rvwaterfilterstore.com/PressureRegulators.htm Edit: To answer your question, I doubt there is a built -n regulator but I would think if you call Tiffin or join the Tiffin RV Forum you can get a quick answer. http://www.tiffinrvnetwork.com/ -
