If I am not wrong (sometimes I am not right) there are two types of systems. Pac Brake which is in the exhaust system and reduces the exhaust flow. And the Jake Brake is internal in the valve train. My Cummins 400 ISL has a Jake Brake. And then I may be off base. Herman

We where at a Arkansas Travelers Rally in North Little Rock at the River Front RV Park. We were all sitting around visiting (where the first liar doesn't have a chance). There was a gentleman in a rented Class "C" leaving the park with his awning all the way out. We hollored, screamed and waved our arms. He paid us no mind and went right on out the very narrow entrance with two tall heavy fence post on either side. He didn't understand us as he was Asian and we don't think he understood english. He got out looked at the coach and awning, cut the awning off and tore off what was left of the supports, left them on the ground in the road in front of the office and then drove on out the gate. Nonetheless we couldn't stop laughing.🤣 Herman

I would start with the inverter. Check that all connections are tight. I like to back off a bit then retighten then check to see if the inverter is charging correctly. It sounds to like your house batteries became low. Herman

Rich & Mitzi From Tampa to Shreveport I can't give you much information on Parks but here goes from Shreveport. In Shreveport There is Diamond Jack Casino with a nice RV Park for $20.00/nite and you may get it for free if you get a players card. In Tyler, TX close to where you pick up Hwy 69 off I-20 there is a nice park on 69 south about 3 miles "Tyler Oaks" Just as you get into Oklahoma on I-35 there is the WinStar Casino with a really nice RV Park and 1 or 2 nights free if you get a players card. On up North of Wichita, KS in McPherson there is a nice park the "McPherson RV Ranch & Horse Motel". In Kearney, NE there is the Kearney RV Park. In Sidney Nebraska there is a Cabela's that has an RV Park with full hookups for (last I heard) $10.00 on a first come basis. They also have a free dry camping area. In Cheyenne Wyoming there is a nice KOA right on I-80 plus Warren Air Force has a RV Famcamp. In Rock Spring there is a nice (all gravel) KOA park. Then it north to Yellowstone. Have a ball. A bit of information about Military Bases and Famcamps: As of the first of the year, 2020, bases and Famcamp are open to all Retires, Active, DoD employees and Disabled veterans. In the past a vet had to be 100% disabled but the change has added any veteran with a "SERVICE CONNECTED" on their VA ID card are permitted to go on Base and use Famcamps. What a new and great Benefit. Herman

Jerry, I looked in Southwest Harbor and found quite a few Park. One thing to look at is the date of the review. Some are as late as this summer while other are many years old. Herman

jerrycheek, Welcome to the Forum. A good place to start looking might be on campgroundreview.com. There you can look at every state in the US. Herman

twopeas Welcome to the Forum. The route I might take to avoid mountains would go like this. I-75 North to I-10 West I-10 West to Lafayette, Louisiana and pick up I-49 North I-49 North to Shreveport, Louisiana and pickup I-20 East I-20 East to Lindale, Texas and pick up US 69 North US 69 North to Bells Texas and pick up US 82 West US 82 West to Gainesville, Texas and pick up I-35 North. I-35 North to Wichita, Kansas (I-35 in Kansas is a Toll Road for 45 Miles) to Exit 45 where you pick up I-135 North I-135 North to just past Salina, Kansas where I-135 turns into US 81 North US 81 North to York Nebraska and pick up I-80 West. I-80 West all the way past Cheyenne, Wyoming to Rock Springs, Wyoming to US 191 North US 191 North to Jackson, Wyoming. From Jackson continue on US 191 to the South Entrance to Yellowstone National Park This seems like a long way but the only area where you will run into any mountains is between Cheyenne and Rock Spring. However they are not steep but gradual climbs and you don't go through any large cities with the exception of Oklahoma City but it is all Interstate and not bad traffic. Along the way you will see lots of beautiful country, bayous, timber and wide open spaces. There will be New Orleans, Shreveport and the Municipal Auditorium where Elvis performed. There is the Winstar Casino, just as you get into Oklahoma and the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. The Aircraft plant in Wichita Kansas. Cheyenne where they hold Cheyenne Frontier Days and Jackson (Jackson Hole), Wyoming and the Antler arches on the square. Let us know if you need and more help. Herman

Good thought Ray. Disconnecting a Battery helps many time on many items especially in cell phones. Herman

Ken, Welcome to the Forum. Contact Dan Ball at FMCA 513-474-3622. Dan is the Director of Membership & Marketing, and he can explain what you can do. He may be out until Monday For security I have removed you email from you post. Good luck,Herman

Bobbie and I would like to wish each of you and all our Troops and First Responder everywhere a Happy Thanksgiving ! If your are on the road drive safe. Herman & Bobbie

That ok. If I were going to use a tarp or made for an RV cover I would place a couple of large size beach balls under the cover/tarp to allow as much air circulation as possible. That may keep down the possibility of mildew. Just a thought. Herman

Ok, now lets get back to the OP "RV Cover" Thanks Herman

Check with Adventure Travel they may have trip insurance. Herman

Rob, if you will google Flexvision you will find many places that have parts the Flexvision system. Herman

Rolex, We have also found that the Emergency ERs are quite helpful when on the road. Just be sure and ask if the take Medicare before treatment. It can get quite costly if they don't. Plus they are much quicker than a hospital ER. Herman

sweenrv, Welcome to the Forum. By the way you asked the question it appear you do some of your own work. If so remove the hose take it to a hydraulic shop and have them make one for you. You will find that they can make the hose while you wait and for a lot less them a shop would charge for a factory hose and a much shorter wait time. Herman

Rolex, Welcome to the Forum. Another thing you can find at WalMart are parts and supplies for you RV. If you have a name and or part number they have item most available in stock or pickup. I have found many items there and very likely at a good price. Some items may have to be shipped directly to you but many times prepaid. Give them a try sometime. Herman

Just an off the wall thought. If your back up camera has an outside microphone it may be turned up and your can hear everything from the back. I say this with tongue and cheek. My hearing is marginal but in driving a 40 foot diesel motorhome there is no way I can hear or feel the slight rattle of my hitch coming from the rear of my coach. All I can hear and feel is the roads as I am traveling on these well maintained () highways and byways of our great states. Of course I came from the era when Shake Rattle and Roll ment dancing to Bill Haley and the Comets , not driving through Shreveport Louisiana on I-20. Herman

My 92 Dynasty doesn't have GFCI outlets in the coach. I has a 20 amp GFCI breaker in my AC power panel.It protect all my outlets except the Microwave which has it's own CB. It became weak and I replaced it about two years ago. No issues since. Herman

Keith, Have you checked the fluid levels? Herman

A good two sided tap is good you can put it any where. Front, back, sides, high or low. One nice thing about tape is if you don't like it you can move it easily. Just display it. Herman

Any where there is a good shade tree. Herman

If you take off the top of your air filter you can remove the filter and get the number off of it. Herman

anna, Welcome to the Forum. I checked with M&G Engineering and they do not make a unit for the 2017 Ford C-Max. I would check with Invisabrake and see if they make a unit for your vehicle. Blue Ox makes 4 different setups for your vehicle with removable tabs where nothing shows when you are not towing. Herman

10-4 on that Rich. That is why when I am looking for what I think is a blown fuse I will check them all if the correct one is not obvious or labeled. You never know what the factory decided to put on with another circuit. Herman
