Most Gas absorption refrigerators have too little air flow to keep them working properly. Suggest you add one maybe two more cooling fans to the back of the unit. Herman

Jim I looked but couldn't find my paperwork on my service call. Sorry. Herman

I will start it off, We were on our way to the National Convention in Indianapolis and had engine issues. We limped into Joplin MO. and got to the Cummin Service Center. They ran a preliminary test and determined it was in the fuel system. (I had changed to filter just before we left home) They had 2 50 amp full hookups and we stayed the night. The next morning (Friday) they got it into the shop and found our Hi-Pressure pump was going out. They call around and found a pump in KC and that they would shave it ready for the new pump when it arrived that afternoon. It arrived around 4 pm and they finished the install at 1:45 am Saturday. Just as I paid the tech came in to say they found a leak. They said that they would stay the whole night to finish. I told them that I didn't need to be on the road til Monday afternoon so to go home for the weekend and we could start it up Monday morning. We had already planned on staying several days in Joplin since we were meeting friends there. They got the job done by mid day and we were on the road. What I didn't say was that their shop was loaded but since we were traveling on a schedule they worked us in. All of the service people and the tech couldn't have been better and helpful. I give them a 10! Herman

Carl brought up a great point. We hear all of the horror stories about how bad this service, how we couldn't get exactly what we wanted when we wanted it. Well now let's hear the good stories. We had a great time at ***** RV park. The service was great when we had **** troubles here. We all have had a great RVing story, now it the time to share your good fortune with us all. Only good stories, bad stories will be taken off. Lets hear some!!!! Herman

As Brett said, Welcome. It would also help to know what the issues is. Wont dump, just dumps one bag? And yes we need to know the coach manufacturer, year, size and is just a dump and jacks or air leveling. Let us know and we will try to assist. Herman

Sorry Jim, I can't remember what the issue was. I will try and look up the paper work and will let you know. Herman

Jim, I had mine repaired in the coach, however I had to pull the unit out of the recess and have it where the tech could get to both the front and back of the unit. I had the part replaced and only had to pay for the labor. If I remember correctly the labor was about $300.00. You might call Samsung (800-726-7864) and ask if there is a service center close to you that can do warranty work. (if your unit is under 5 years old) Good Luck, Herman

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
