Another option if you can is to go every couple of weeks and crank up the generator let it run for at least half an hour, or longer, under load. This way you can recharge your batteries and exercise the gen. and A/Cs at the same time. Herman

What GS card gives you 8 cents off a allows you to use a CC to purchase fuel. I get the discount with my Pilot/Flying J RV Plus Card. But you have to charge it on the RVP card. Is this something different?

John, Sorry, "To Whom It May Concern" I will partly agree with you. The Pure Same Wave inverter would allow for more choices, but one of the biggest considerations is size. You must consider the space were the refrigerator will go. The Samsung RF-18 will fit width wise where the Never Cool 1200 goes the height is the issue. We didn't have a heater below our 1200, just drawers. I was able to sit it on the floor and put a door above it. Herman

Jeff, Welcome to the Forum. You should have a battery disconnect that would allow you to cut the power. Three should be 2, one for the house and one for the chassis. Herman

Sundance, When our Never Cool die 2 years ago I installed a residential refrigerator. I installed a "Samsung RF-18". It is a 17.6 cubic feet unit and it has run for the entire time on on our Trace RV 2012 Modified Sane Wave Inverter with no issues.I had one issue when I installed the unit. It would not make ice. I pulled the unit out far enough to take off the inspection cover. I found that the two wire to the ice maker solenoid were just dangling there. The water is supplied through a clear plastic tube. The minute i plugged the wires in I saw the water flow. Never another problem. The reason I told this is to let folks know that before they install the unit check to see if the wires are connected.

When ordering new tires set a maximum age on the DOT date 6 months max, 3 months preferably. Check them before mounting and not after. Also be sure and have them monut the tire with the DOT stamp facing out, That is something you have to tell the installer or it will just be how the tire falls on the rim. Herman

eagle, Start by checking if you have 12 volts to the pump. Then check if you have a good ground. If you have 12 volts in and a good ground, I would check the Micro Switch. I suspect you will find a bad switch. You should also check your relay to make sure you have 12 volts there. If all fuses are good it has to be either the micro switch in the pump, the relay or the momentary switch that engages the relay. Herman

I learn something new every day. Herman

Ron, Welcome to the Forum. Have you contacted Monaco? I have an 02 Dynasty and they would be the first place to call. I have seen where the TV has a door on the side of the slide that swings up to allow the TV to be watched, but don't recall seeing a screen that drops down. Does it come out from the bottom of the slide? Herman

Ross, Texas Toll Tags and the Oklahoma Pike Pass have a reciprocal agreement. Oklahoma has the same with Kansas but it doesn't carry over with Texas. I had both a Toll Tag and Pike Pass before the agreement between the two. I have a Toll Tag on both the coach and my truck now. Herman

This topic was started in 2011 and the last posting was July of 2014 until yesterday. Herman

When a coach joins FMCA the membership office sends out a notice to all Chapter in the Area where the new member resides. I can't speak for other Chapter but in Lone Star our Secretary immediately send a letter and an email to the new member. We have had a number them come and join Lone Star. We feel it works for us.

dp26, I may be reading your message wrong about reprinting your ballot. But let me stress to everyone. Only one ballot per F number. Each ballot will be recorded and any duplication will be thrown out. Therefore to make sure your VOTE counts only vote once. At our our rally this past weekend I printed 30 ballots and a envelope addressed to firm. I am not sure how many of our member voted but after I sealed the envelope there were 19 blank ballots left. Herman

Bp29, Welcome to the Forum. If you will contact Lon Cross, Western Area Nationl Vice President at lcross@fmca.com he will help you locate a chapter to fit your needs. VOTE Herman

Tom, As DD69 said, be sure there is slack in the cable. And if you have enough slack put the cable in a loop before you plug it in. the loop will absorb much of the vibration. Herman

Carl, I don't even want to know why an RV macerator requires a larger fuse than a boat. Herman

Scott, Make and model of your coach? If it is an American it may be the broken spring in the mechanism. If it is a Monaco it may be the dead bolt pin broke. Did you lock both the handle and the dead bolt and you have unlocked both and still can't open the door? If it is the dead bolt you can pull back the rubber trim and take a small screwdriver and push the pin back until it clears the door jam. This is how I got my door opened. We were inside and I had to crawl out a window. Are you home or on the road? If at home, before breaking a window l would look at the door frame. Mine is held in by about 15 screws. I would remove the complete door before breaking $500.00 window. Besides you may not be able to open the door once you are inside. Herman

Ed, In my opinion if you have an issue with your chassis flexing because you have leveled the coach, then you have raised the coach to a very unsafe level. Leveling jack are to level the coach and to keep you from getting sea sick from the swaying. Herman

It is now up to All Chapter Presidents, Chapter National Director and especially the membership to be informed on this issue. I have said it before and will say it again it is up to the membership plain and simple. Vote your conscious, but PLEASE VOTE! Chris, let me thank you for being open and honest to the members in addressing issues and defusing rumors. We have needed this for a long time. Thank you. Herman

Carl, I am sorry but I believe this is a fabrication just to stir up trouble. Herman

Was this person truthful when he applied? Herman

That would be the true meaning to BoonDocking. Herman

10-4 my bad. Herman

Bobby, Thanks for the update on your issue. Anytime a topic has a good outcome it is nice to know the how, what, when and where. Again thanks. Herman

If you haven't started it how are you sure that it is not true? Not trying to smart just asking. Also all this time I had been thinking you had a "V" belt. Sorry if my questions sounded strange. Herman
