  1. If DW starts complaining I'll do that. Now why don't they put a thermostat on the hot water heater. Dang it is hot.
  2. High 60's here at Port Hueneme, CA Hight got up to 71˚ today.
  3. Same one I have. Never leave home without it. However, right now I'm at a park that has 30 psi of pressure. Oh well.
  4. Yes, the duct work could have come loose and sucking warm air. I have found with our basement air that approximately 15˚ below outside ambient temperature is what to expect inside, so 90˚ outside should be around 75˚ inside. The AC will most likely not cut off. Once when we were in temperatures above 90˚ we went to Lowes and purchased some "space bubble." It comes in rolls and I cut it to fit each half of the big window. Half a window at a time because it was easier to manage storage. When I put it in the window the temperature dropped inside to a comfortable level. Even though the windows are double pane the heat emanating through them is very high when the sun is shining in.
  5. Until reading this I always thought it was discoloration from rust on the steel wheels.
  6. If he wired it to plug into a standard house "dryer" plug it was wired for 240v and it will fry the components in an RV. Here is a 30 amp circuit for an RV 30 Amp RV Wiring
  7. I think any type of good tape would work, like package tape - not scotch tape - to thin.
  8. I posted somewhere else but I'll post again here: I had a problem with the thin door seals tearing. I used black Gorilla tape and carefully taped the tears overlapping the tape to both sides of the seal. Unit is 8 years old and still going good. Knock on wood.
  9. My Norcold 1200 door gaskets tore the first year. I fabricated a gasket using Gorilla tape over the old gasket and repairing the tear. I had to do that a couple times in the last several years and the refrigerator is still cooling well. Don't overdo it with the tape. One piece folder around the old gasket will do the job. This is just FYI for anyone that has a torn gasket. It is my understanding that you cannot replace the gasket but have to replace the door(s).
  10. Carefully reach up under the dash and check to see that all connections are firmly engaged in their sockets. Could happen.

    Steer Safe

    Absolutely! Both are very good and a matter of personal preference and price. There are even other options and we are all wise to check out the reviews. Thanks.
  12. ...and what goes around comes around. I really believe that. Kudos to the campers that went out of their way.
  13. I don't believe that Winnebago sells direct to consumers, however there is a company right next door to them who have come across for me several times. Give them a holler: Lichtsinn RV

    Steer Safe

    Anyone interested also look into Safe-T-Plus steering stabilizer.
  15. Besides yourself, please name one that thinks "ok." I have only once (evacuation for IKE) been running the generator when the gauge got down near a quarter tank. we had been running for 3 days when power was lost at the CG due to the hurricane. (Nope! Did not evacuate far enough and 100 miles was not far enough.) The generator was running when we decided to find an area where there was electricity to pump fuel so I shut the generator off as we traveled. I barely made it running on fumes. So I am going to "assume" that our generator would shut off at 1/4 tank. I really don't want to test that theory again.
  16. Roof mounted cross bar with the lights on it. I would just prefer to have all the available safety items to keep the idiots from ramming into my vehicle.
  17. Tom, As a point of interest, many many years ago (And I mean many) a gentleman was given a citation for doing 55 in a 35 zone. He was leaving a town and the speed limit increased from 35 to 55 so he started to speed up and when he got to the 55 mph sign he was doing 55. He took a court hearing and at the hearing he asked the judge, "If approaching a sign doing 55 mph and the sign says 35 then I must be doing 35 when I reach the sign, so if I'm doing 35 mph and see a sign that says 55 mph can I not be doing that speed when I reach the sign?" The judge dismissed the case against him and in his favor. Just saying, and precedence set. It is a stupid law that one must be doing the lower speed limit, down shifting and braking but one cannot increase in the reverse.
  18. Well, I have been lazy and did not use the Wash Wax All before we left and now the dirt/grime is really built up. Tomorrow is wash day by a mobile rv wash company. I'll try and keep up with and use the Wash Wax All in the upcoming trip. Something I used on my motorcycle and also on my cars was a product called Capt. Richard's Best. This stuff worked great but it is more pricey the Wash Wax All.
  19. Pictures or it never happened! (Please.)
  20. We have stayed at Railside RV park and enjoyed it. Nice doggy sitting service - the (at the time) would come and let the dog out and the fee was extremely reasonable for doggy service.
  21. We have made the trip from Texas to Mass several times. I don't know how much time you have but there are places along the way that are so very interesting. We have headed up to 40 and picked it up in Arkansas. Headed East and picked up 81N. Here is where we vary because the one place we visit just about each time we go that way is Gettysburg, PA. Unless you have an inclination of visiting DC and travel the much dreaded by us I-95, I-81 is the better route. If you have no intention of visiting Gettysburg then I-81 to the Scranton area and the I-84E. I-84 will take you all the way to Sturbridge, MA. Regarding campgrounds in MA, not many good ones and they are very seasonal so prices go way up in the summertime. There are the weekend campers and reservations are necessary ahead of time - way ahead. Happy trails Edit: p.s., if you do go to Gettysburg you can pick up Hwy 30 off of I-81. From Gettysburg we take Hwy 30E to US-222N, I-78 for a little ways to Hwy 33N to I-80E for a little ways the US-209 up through the Delaware Water Gap to I-84. We traveled in a 40ft MH towing and previously a 40ft 5th wheel and did not have any navigating problems. The Water Gap is a two lane, like country, road ut the ride was enjoyable.

    Login

    Wow! I had a login experience yesterday that was perplexing. I typically have the "remember me" feature enabled on forums and yesterday when I tried to log in I could not do it. Got a weird message about bookmarks and other items that may have been the cause. I sent the error message to the 'contact webmaster' and this morning I had an email that he reset my UID and PW. Works now or I would not be posting. Thanks web master team! After 24 hours I was having withdrawal pains.
  23. Whichever you decide to go with make sure you check the specifications for diameter, width, etc. Here is a web site that once you have the numbers you can find out the differences in the tires. Tire Size Calculator
