I agree with Herman about add ons, they are pretty expensive. Proper driving habits cost nothing extra and can save a lot of money, if not already following this rule. Kay

New federal guidelines require that you see a doctor monthly to have SOME of the pain medications rewritten, the doctors are not allowed to write a refillable prescrition for the ones that are on the list.. There a few alternative medications, but they are not as effective. Thank you BIG BROTHER??? http://www.koco.com/news/new-rules-make-hydrocodone-painkiller-prescriptions-harder-to-refill/29002078 Sad to see such drastic measures which are caused by abusers.

What engine does she have? I am quilty of overlooking some info in the title. I like yourself have worked in the computer industry probably too long HA-HA, IT engineer ???

Not related to this thread, but jleamont's post above brought back an old memory. In the early sixty's, I drove a gasoline International R185 tractor/truck, for a glazing company. Making my way back from Macon GA, to Birmingham, the truck stalled. I looked for problems, and found that someone had golfballed the fuel tank. When the gas worked it's toll on the ball, it came apart, looked just like rubber bands in the fuel filter.

This is not meant to be any kind of an endorsement, I do not now own one, nor know anyone affiliated with the company, but have observed many, the Acme is in my list of things to order. I like the concept.

That was my exact thought, that is why I recommend having someone to follow. I noticed that there is a one year warranty on the product against defects in parts and workmanship. If it does not swivel, it would certainly qualify if within the time frame. Personally, and this is not meant as a solution, I would pin the swivel, and try towing with the steering wheel unlocked, it would probably work better for the application if there is enough clearance to accommodate this.

Welcome to the forum, congrats on all of the above. Hope you enjoy your new membership, Kay

Welcome to the forum dhharris. For such a request, you will need to post to the forum what location that you are in. The forum has a "pm" private message capability, making it fairly easy to contact another quest. Bluebird Wanderlodge FC-33 in reasonably good working order will make a great project. Congratulations on the retirement, and happy trails, Kay

Correction on my part, after careful observation, the American does claim to have a swivel table, and the pictures when blown up, does confirm this. It seems as if there could be some binding when the car is loaded. I would have someone follow and observe to see if that action is occurring while loaded.

The American tow dolly, and the Acme tow dolly look to be the same design. I have not seen an American, but have been around several Acme's. There is no pivot, and Acme tells up front that the steering wheel must be left unlocked. Go to Acme website and look at the utube video.

The only time that I have broken a strap was between Chattanooga TN and Gadsden, AL. Very rough interstate at the time, and I had put too much pressure on the strap, won't do that again.

As Rich pointed out, check the battery and cables. Fault code 13 tells to do this step according to the manual. I would certainly try a good battery with clean connections before committing to an inverter replacement. Good luck with this.

I have the raise and lower TV behind the fake fireplace straight across from the couch. We love this setup, I always hated turning my head to watch TV over the front windshield. Also use the jack antenna, works well if close enough to over the air stations.

There is a couple of 9100 motors listed on e-bay. In the search line just type in 9100 RV awning motor. Have replaced one that was ordered there, worked very well.

Can you hook one receiver directly without the 4X4 Matrix in line and verify the satellite antenna system is working? If it does, the Genie system may be a good alternative. I also have the Genie system at home, and we love it.

Very good report, glad to hear that it worked out well. Kay

Thanks for the info, unfortunately I have the auto transmission, which can't be towed four down. I wasn't even thinking about manual trans., as most manuals can be towed 4 down. The wireing mods that I spoke of are still true, any intentionally cut wireing of the harness, including to add diodes for the rear lights, brake, turn signal, and tail, according to the dealer and Kia motors will void any factory warranty. I only added this so anyone can check for themselves. Thanks again, Kay

Kia says no on 2014 model, which is the one that I drive. I use tow dolly for this one. Of course you didn't mention your year model, but I think it is the same on all of them. If your unit is still in the factory warranty, any mods will void your warranty, this includes wiring in the tail lights. I checked with the manufacturer and this is what I was told by them.

I have a Magellan, and I learned on the first trip not to tell it the shortest distance, it did the same thing in that setting.

Camp Gulf is beautiful at Destin Fl., Top Sail is a Fl State Park about 30 miles east of Destin on hgy, 98 it is a very pretty camp about half the price of Camp Gulf, and with your Florida residency, you will be entitled to half off of that.

If the transfer case is a manual one, has 4H 2H and 4L with neutral included with the manual shift, all you will have to do is put the transfer case into neutral, and the transmission in park, you will be ready to go. To test it, put the transfer case into neutral, shift the transmission into drive, if the engine revs, and the Bronco does not move, you should be good to go. Please remember to put the auto trans into park for towing if the above works. Kay

Been there and done that with dish many years ago, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Magnum energy claims to be pure sine wave. I wonder if it goes off and back on, on shore power, or only when used with the inverter power? Also when it goes off, does lights inside go off and the temp control reset itself?

Carl, have you tried a PM to Bill?

Carl, after vacuuming, try a magnet on the area, if not aluminum, or stainless, it will pick up much that the vacuum leaves behind. Kay
