Just being polite! Don't want the MH to think we are calling her that "yellow" thing.

X2 on all the previous puns. Also Carl, I live close by. Would you like to borrow my knife and get rid of the toppers?

I feel for you. We call our Winnebago "Citrus."

All the above. I have also parked on grass, but not for that long of a time. However, it rained and if you have leveling jacks think about putting something under them. Once with 12x12" 3/4 plywood the wood still sunk into the ground about 2-3 inches. The wood did keep the jack from sinking in.

Is it still under Winnebago warranty? Wow is right. I would definitely contact Winnebago for help.

You do know that you have to hold your mouth different for each software applications and if it is not correct - well it just doesn't work well.

You be safe, and be very careful when parking. Put on the tennis shoes so you can run fast to put the chocks in place, or hand them out the window to a neighbor and ask them to chock the wheels. Hope you get it fixed soon and please so keep us informed.

I also have hot water when we arrive at a camp ground and about 50 miles down the highway when we depart. I don't have the AquaHot, but I do have the Motoraid Water Heater. "The Motoraid uses heat from the chassis engine cooling system to heat water in the water heater while driving. Hoses are routed from the engine to the heat exchanger surrounding the water heater tank" I personally would opt for the Motoraid instead of the AquaHot because: I have basement AC/Heatpump. In the temperate climates it has worked very well but it is augmented by the propane furnace. If there is a great temperature difference the furnace and heatpump are activated until there is a temperature balance and the furnace goes off and the heat pump continues. Should the AC/Heatpump fail, I have the propane furnace to continue to keep us toastie. The unfortunate side is that when purchasing a new motorhome, one may not have a choice without expense on removing or adding an item. A lot of the newer MH's come prebuilt with the AquaHot.

Mark the transmission fluid stick with a scribe or something and then just tell the mechanics to ignore the full mark and use the scribe mark. But as a safety I sure would check it anytime it comes out of a shop! That is fascinating.

I didn't use FMCA's program but I did use the one I have (GS) and I needed to get towed 40 miles. I asked the driver of the wrecker when I arrived what it would have cost if I had to pay for it myself. He stated $750. Glad I have it.

Jerri, Could it be possible that the circuits in the bedroom are in series with the GFCI plugs? Look to see if there are GFCI plugs, anywhere from two to three or maybe more. You can spot them by the reset button between the sockets. Press the reset and if you hear it click it was probably tripped. Hope this helps and that is the problem.

ObedB, I'm a proponent of Firefox. I have used it on both Windows and MAC and it is the browser of choice. It has many add-ons that make it more attractive, like adblock plus and Ghostery (Both also available for other browsers) Just a matter of preference. I also keep Safari and Chrome as a spare in case something doesn't work. Not all programs are written for every browser so when there is a video that will not play on one or the other I just switch to one that does work for that video. It is not going to hurt the system to have both Firefox and Chrome on your system. Personally, IE is just so filled with useless stuff, but again that is my opinion. I never liked it on the Windows machine either.

Dyson Animal V6 - What a great little vacuum. It only has about a 20 minute battery but it charges fast and the 20 minutes lasts for us to do the entire MH. We have an 80 pound Husky and the hair is, well everywhere. The Dyson Animal has many attachments and there is a small beater brush that can do car floors, trunks, and pick up any kitty litter you may have. Expensive little machine but worth every penny. IMO We also use it around the S&B for other small jobs. Big dust mop then vacuum the dust mop, great for rugs and other items. works great for the cars.

I have been using he SMI Air Force 1 system for 8 years and switched cars during that period and switched the AF1 over. It has worked very well. Just connect the lines and go. Nothing needs to be put on the floor inside the car when you move - the system stays there. Good luck.

Maureen, If you are traveling alone think about the chocks. Someone needs to keep their foot on the brake and someone needs to go out and put chocks under the front and back of the rear wheels - both sides. Be careful and stay safe.

I'm not going to tell on myself! Sheesh! Let Todd and the Minions delete my wise-crack words of wisdom.

I believe it and glad I told you about it. You'd still be searching for a spot. It's silly but that is the way it is in NE. Happy trails.

....so be careful what you post!

Look under it and see if there is a big clamp looking thing around the drive shaft. Have someone engage and disengage the parking brake. If that clamp moves, that is the parking brake and it either needs adjustment or the pad needs to be replaced. If not, other help will be along.

I got mine from miniinthebox.com. Yep, out of China, but what the hey isn't everything now-a-days.

Yep! Experience varies considerably. I had Window computers since Window's for Workgroups and I think even on back from that. In all the years I let it update I never had a problem. Go figure. It just happens. Hey folks, even the MAC has a few problems with upgrades. In my case I have to go back in and reset everything that they think everyone wants as a general setting. It just happens.

I also run Ghostery and it blocks trackers and ads. I very much dislike ads. Yep, people have asked me what I did at NASA and I have two stock replies. One is, "I was an astronaut, I took up space!" and the other, "I looked at porn all day" (Remember, forensic analysis on misuse cases. That wasn't the only misuse though.) For clarification I did do other IT functions but was the primary on misuse.

p.s., I can't visit the site you listed because of all the ads it has. It wants me to turn off adblocker. No way Forbes, no way.

Rich, I use a program on the MAC, and it is available for Windows, called 1Password for Windows. It keeps all your logins, software licenses (keys) and a bunch of other items. I have been using it for several years and it has been wonderful. I keep the "key file" in a place that any of my computers can get to it so that I have access no mater where I am or which of my computers I am using. My wife's iPad and iPhone are also liked to the key file. The key file is password protected by a very strong password. I have had to re-install a few programs on the MAC, and the key file has been invaluable in restoring the files. However, on the MAC there are other avenues that can be taken that are easy to retrieve software keys. Okay! Background. I worked for NASA as in IT Security Specialist and my forte was investigating misuse cases and performing forensic analysis on those cases. I WAS very familiar with Window platforms. At the S&B here I had Window computers. Anyone at that time could call me for help with a problem and in many instances I could help them from my arm chair in the living room. One time I help a friend when he trashed his video to a black screen and I did it from the arm chair without ever looking at a computer. I'm stating this for a point. In 2007 I retired. Later that year my wife retired and she asked if I would get her a MAC as a retirement gift since she used them in her earlier days and liked them. I did, I bought her a 24" iMac. I started using it and I finally kicked her out of the computer room, well, she just did an attrition on her own because I was always on it. I never looked back and I am so happy to have, even though more expensive, MAC systems. They are 99% less troublesome than Window Systems. Okay, I guess it's time to hear it from all the Window users. Funny that I still get calls for Window problems but I have not gotten a call for a MAC problem. Oh, BTW, we die have a few MAC's at NASA, quite a few. At the time MAC and Window systems did not communicate well with each other. Think Word, Excel, PPoint, etc. where one cold not be read on the other. (That was then!) So the CIO of the agency decided that all office users would use the Window's system - mostly for cost and a few of the graphic entities could keep the MAC. MAC had better graphics at the time whereas now they are fairly equal. Oops! Sorry for the rant. Try 1Password - it is a fantastic program.

I'm thinking out loud here, but doesn't the '94 Southwind use a drive shaft parking brake? (Gasser maybe) Clamp goes around the drive shaft and the clamp has it's own brake pad. Yep, chassis make would help.
