You might need 2 wraps. Bill

The extra material is removed and stored before you retract your awning. Bill

You are correct Carl, however some jack company's call it out by name. I think it works more as a cleaner. I use the dry silicone to reduce how much dust is attracted and sticks to wet type lubes. The best lube is the same hydraulic oil as is used in the system. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I couldn't find anything that works like that(rolling up in the awning tube). I would look at a sunroom to give you more shade. Something like this. https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/search?categoryId=&query=sun+room Bill

Welcome back. Bill

All hydraulic jacks need the shaft cleaned and lubricated, especially if they have been extended for very long. Some have a grease fitting that needs a little shot of grease to make them work properly. I think that the jacks like the rest of your systems benefit from frequent exercise. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately I don't have your acess so I had to make my pads. Where are you we might drop by and pick up some spares. Bill

Which is the best flat towing vehicle?
wildebill308 replied to rvhd's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
Just shift into neutral from drive only. Check the owner's manual for his year and model. Bill -
Don't have time to dig all the research I did out as on the road. I do remember they are the number 2 rated on Consumer reports Michelin was number 1. I got great service from the ones on my CR-V. I had a article that they are a top tire in Europe and a gut feeling. We will see how they run, so far they are excellent. Bill

I believe the brakes on the tow dolly will be enough. I used a tow dolly on one trip to Canada and had no problem. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your service. Bill

Yes. Bill -
Let me help you Carl, If you are off the grid and you run the generator it will pass 110 through and not draw 12 V off the batteries to make 110V. Hence the statement "It will also pass 110 through if it is available." Bill

I tow a 2014 CR-V easy and I don't know it is back there. Bill -
Steve, I bet he just let it cykle through the fill cycle to bleed out the air. Bill
-
Yes it is Carl. It will also pass 110 through if it is available. Bill
-
Yep $500.00 each is what I payed for Continentals. I generally think they are a better tire. Bill
-
Well maybe. One side is 110 only and the side the icemaker plugs into is powered by the inverter. Otherwise you couldn't make ice cubes when on gas and no shore power. Test it with all 110 off, shore power /generator check both outlets with a meter (make shure your inverter is on). Let me know what you find. Bill

I would be more concerned about the floor plan. Either roof will work if properly maintained. Bill

Did you know you can have Blue Ox rebuild/refurbish your towbar at a FMCA rally for about $30.00? I have had a couple of them done. Bill

While it is important to monitor engine temps. I keep a close eye on EGT temps as they can rise much quicker than engine temps. You hear about the super hills the super steep ones but I have seen over temp on long gradual climbs. My first experience was going from the Grand Canyon toward Vagus. I was running on cruise and all of a sudden had warnings for high engine temp. While I was able to maintain speed in 6th gear on cruise the computer was all in trying to maintain that speed. It was like you were driving with your foot flat on the floor to maintain speed. I slowed a little manually shifted down to 4th and the temps started to drop. When they were acceptable I tried 5th and drove the rest of that section in 5th. This is to show not all over temp problems happen on super steep hills. Bill
-
Well if it is 13.4 V not 134 V it shouldn't be a problem. I would want to know why that circuit breaker is causing a problem. Bill
-
Some of the newer super"C" coaches have that as a option in the longer ones. I think I remember a Jayco with that option. Bill
-
Like Carl said, just remember to shift up once you get to the top of the hill or the grade improves where you can pull/accelerate in a higher gear. You want to go back to 6th gear(selected) at the top. Next timeout try experimenting a little, you will get the hang of it easy enough. Bill

2004 Safari Simba Black Tank Flush
wildebill308 replied to miaaron's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
Welcome to the forum. There are people who offer that service (pressure washing inside the tank) They were at a rally I was at last year, so that is an option if you can locate someone in your area. I would try a easeyer method of using one of the commercial tank cleaning/dissolving chemicals and add some Calgon water softener fill it full of water and let it set for a few days. You may need to do this a couple of times depending on condition. Bill
