A correction here. We have a 2006 Saturn Vue with AWD and automatic transmission. Our manual states that to tow 4 down the engine must be idled for 5 minutes, transmission in neutral, and then remove ignition fuse. Leave key in the "on" position so steering is not locked. Idle again after around 600 miles. We have towed the Vue from Northern Wisconsin to south Texas and back four times without any problems, along with instate travels. The drive train is an Acura six cyl AWD on the 2006 & 2007 models ONLY.

Cash?

I did the conversion on a 2004 Newmar Mountainaire about three years ago so have no idea . Was not my coach. We have a Foretravel GV. Probably added about 1-1/2" to the existing height. Reception went from 9 channels to 21 and reception included stations never received before.

I replaced a crankup Wingman antenna with a Jack antenna ($45 at our RV dealer). The Jack comes with everything necessary to mount it on the two aluminum tubes that crank up the Wingman. I first manually elevated the Wingman assembly (the original elevating mechanism was broke and the owner didn't want to pay to have it repaired--$$$) and cut off the tubes so the Jack antenna would be just above the ACs. I bolted the tubes together using a piece of the cutoff tubes so spacing between the tubes was the same all the way up. Now the Jack antenna is permanently up, but can be rotated, and doesn't rattle when traveling. No worries about forgetting to lower it or breaking the crankup mechanism (plastic gears)

Be calm. Just pick up the "handwarmer" and then when it gets dark or the offender goes away, smear the poo on their entry step, the door handle or assist handle. And, if there is any left over smear it on their car door handle and then push the baggie or whatever down into their air intake. Some poo on the driver's side windshield is good also.

The DW made all the curtains forward of the bedroom. They are DOUBLE thickness room darkening material. Originally from Shopko and were purchased from the curtain department solely for the material. Originally were drapes with large rings for hanging on a rod. Really keep out the light and from the outside it looks as if we had gone to bed, unless I have the valance lights on for low lighting for Packer football games.

Of course it is beautiful! It's a Foretravel. But our 1989 might just be more of an "Oldie" than yours.

bmo2jti--Don't you mean servants?

Just Shoe Goo the plate to the coach. Use some duct tape to hold the plate in place until the Shoe Goo cures. Give it a couple days just to be sure. You can get Shoe Goo or its equivalent at a hardware store or in the shoe department at Walmart and heat does not affect it..

Please don't torch me here, as I don't know a whole lot about electricity. If I can't see it, touch it, smell it or sometimes taste it, I don't want anything to do with it. Having said that, I seem to remember that sometime--a long time ago--I was told to touch the battery cable to the battery post, pull away and then attach the cable back onto the battery. Why this was I don't remember but it might be something to try if your batteries all test good. Again, my disclaimer as to my expertise: I used to think that putting electrical tape over the outlets on the walls would keep the electricity from running out on to the floor.😊

I believe all roof AC units on RVs are mounted over a 14" square hole, making it fairly simple to replace one brand with another.

Our entry steps are hinged on the top, covered with ugly powder blue shag carpeting. Foretravel used the shag carpeting to act as a seal on the sides of the lift-up steps, which are only lifted to check the two 8D batteries in the compartment under the steps. I have racked my pea sized brain trying to figure out how to eliminate the shag carpeting and yet have a good seal and be able to lift the steps in order to access the batteries.

Mike, see my posts on iRV2 this morning.

I found Ortho's Orthene for fire ants kills ants "right now!" Available almost anywhere down south where fire ants exist. Regular ant poison up here in northern Wisconsin seems to just make the ants move to a different location a few feet away from their first nest.

I guess my "crappy" 30 year old coach wouldn't be allowed in?
