Coach Pulls To The Right When Towing 4 Down
huffypuff replied to USARVTours's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I tow a 2006 Jeep Liberty with no problem. What tow bar setup do you have? I use Roadmaster Falcon all terrain quick release and the Roadmaster brackets on the Jeep. -

2015 Western Area Rally - Info and Arrival Instructions
huffypuff replied to wajames's topic in Area Rallies
Thanks Warren, we plan to stop by at least one day. -
The basement heater got a good testing last night and today as temperature stayed in the low 20 F. I caught it running giving out heat and later cycle off and on. I need it to work so we can make it over the passes in at the end of December. I haven't installed the Camping World heater yet as I can't decide where I want to run the wiring from. Now it's too cold for me to get on it.

This is a nice upgrade. I went with a 40" up front. Good luck and enjoy!

2015 Western Area Rally - Info and Arrival Instructions
huffypuff replied to wajames's topic in Area Rallies
We already will be at a nice RV resort just 30 minutes away at Desert Hot Springs area. It won't make sense for me to move my coach and dry camp but I may like to attend a couple seminars and kick a couple of tires. What would it cost to stop by in my toad? -
Dash Cam - Do You Have One, Would You Purchase One
huffypuff replied to JakeR's topic in Electronics
Finally got one uploaded, won't let me get another uploaded yet. This one is getting parked at FMCA High Desert Sun Redmond, OR. If I can do it so can anybody, um follow direction. If you look at the bottom picture you can see the dash cam right above the wipers in the middle. -

tetonchef, Where I'm going this winter there are many snowbirds that is going to be there. As there are 4G lte there as well as concentrated users in one area in the thousands. That will overload the towers as I already been warned. I hate to set up an hot spot with it's high cost only to be disappointed.

rwilli I believe what is best in the future is above for all cars. If there is a sideswipe of motorhome and car it is the driver of the motorhome responsibility to avoid the accident. Wayne I'm glad that the GoPro works for you but I expect more than the GoPro provide and look for the future when 4 point drive cam become standard. -

I replace the front 26 inch wide flat analog and rear 19 inch tube in bedroom. I replace them with a 40 inch smart in the front and 32 inch in the rear. I used angle iron to mount solid and flat and Velcro to keep from rattling where it touches the cabinets. I did this before summer end and works great even on antenna. The WiFi works great on them but I haven't tried them at a campground yet. If it does have a good connection at the campground that's not so limited we can watch Netflix on them. I have a repeat router with power antenna to get better WIFI connection. I hate the low grade cables that the campgrounds provide because resolution is very poor. I know I'm spoiled.

I just noticed the galley lost most of it's caption. No need to tell you Brett because you can figure it out without words. I will add the missing caption so others can know what I did. Before the end of today hopefully.

My wife was complaining about diesel smell and dirt getting in the drawers of rear cabinet. I removed the cabinet and was shocked of why. The coach builder felt that thin carpet was a great filler for a 1/2 inch gap across the back wall. Then they hid the gap behind a cabinet. I fixed it and here are the pictures.

The coach builder hid their sin behind this cabinet. If it wasn't for my wife I wouldn't know there was a problem lurking behind it.© ray huffman

RV back wall had large gap at bottom allowing soot and dirt get in.

Cabinet is screwed back to the wall with the repair in place. You can notice caulk line to both side of the cabinet but it is better than an air leak. If you look over to the right there is a couple of ink spots on the carpet. Those ink spots won't come out and was left by previous owner.© ray huffman

I had to make two passes of caulk allowing it to dry 24 hours between. Notice that I did all the way across with the caulk as well as the caulk backing.© ray huffman

From the album: Back wall
Since there is an 1/2 inch gap there must be a filler and backing before the caulk. This is a 1/2 inch rubber backing made for this purpose. I did this all the way across the bottom of the floor and down the side of step area.© ray huffman

The next thing to do is remove the carpet from the raise step area. This step is here because the coach has a stacked radiator and charge air cooler in the rear and this makes clearance for that. Notice the 1/2 inch gap through the back wall. That is the coach makers quality at it's best. NOT© ray huffman

My wife complained of little diesel smell and draft at rear of coach. Also there was dirt getting in the rear cabinet drawers. I removed the cabinet from the rear wall and found that the coach builder thought that this thin carpet would fill a 1/2 inch gap through rear wall.© ray huffman

Dash Cam - Do You Have One, Would You Purchase One
huffypuff replied to JakeR's topic in Electronics
Both rear and side cameras are useful. I first check if a car is next to the toad, then I use the turn signal to see if a car is next to the coach. One day we will have a four point drive cam recording at all times. Are you listening Silverleaf? http://www.silverleafelectronics.com/
