Go to Camping World and they have many colors and styles that clip on and hose off.

Linda I live in WA and been across Canada border many times and the biggest thing they look for at the crossing is fresh fruit and vegetable. They are very worry about fruit flies and for good reasons. See Bill's list as you said you be crossing from Washington into B.C.

When a circuit is overloaded those breakers will pop. My wife and her friend had a coffee pot, another pot to make tea and a toaster going at the same time and popped one of those breakers. Remove the output wires and see if the problem goes away. If so shorted wiring in the coach, If not problem is with the inverter and needs to go back to the shop.

One reason you don't want to mix different size tires front to rear is if the coach has ABS, traction control and/or stability control. If it kicks on in an emergency you want to be sure that it does what it's expected to do. ABS saved me from a crash once during my Christmas holiday trip when a woman changed lanes and stopped in front of my coach.

Workhorse, Chevy P-30/32 Chassis Handling Solutions I have to keep both hands on the steering wheel, even on good roads, with no wind. Solution: The OEM bell cranks are notaries for being out of tolerance. These should be replaced with a roller bearing bell crank such as the SuperSteerTM HD bell crank. This will greatly improve the steering, and handling of any P- 30/32. Proposing, bouncing, harsh ride, and floating front end. Solution: Upgrade to Bilstein HD Shock absorbers. This will improve ride quality and control. Excessive body roll on winding roads and windy conditions, passing trucks blowing you around the road. Solution: Install a front HD Sway Bar, and rear polyurethane bushing kit, for much better control and safer handling. This will reduce body-roll and sway of the vehicle. Sagging front end due to fatigued coil springs or damaged airbags. Solution: A Hellwig Transverse front helper spring will give you back the ride height and steering geometry needed. It will also help prevent bottoming out. The back end feels like it is moving sideways when trucks are passing, in high gusty winds and on rutted roads. Solution: A rear TigerTrak Track-bar eliminates the rear axel shifting, resulting in a much better handling coach. No more tail wag. I am concerned about a Front tire blowout. Solution: A TruCenterTM Steering Control will hold you in a straight ahead position, even with a front tire blowout. I have to keep both hands on the steering wheel, even on good roads, with no wind. Solution: A TruCenterTM Steering Control will hold the Tie Rod with up to 135 lbs of pressure. This will make your vehicle go straighter without constant steering wheel correction. It will be much easer to drive with less fatigue, and all front end parts, and tires will last longer.

You gotta save money somewhere to pay them high payments.

Welcome to the forum and good question. That sounds like a very nice feature on a 4x4 pickup. If transfer case goes to neutral I don't know why the transmission shouldn't be in park. That would prevent the transmission from spinning and getting overheated and damaged. If I was you I would be sure to contact Ford about that also.

If you use horsepower to back the toad you could over do it adding stress to the tow bar and break something.

I don't back up the toad but only release the parking brake and push it back until it locks. Human power won't break as much as horsepower.

If unhooking and won't unlock, I just use a claw hammer to pull the pins. Very easy just make sure you applied the parking brake first.

I copy and pasted this from Blue Ox owners manual 9. Disconnect the towed vehicle from the towing vehicle before backing up. Do Not Back Up while vehicles are connected! Damage to both vehicles and the towing system may occur. The towed vehicle may jackknife causing abnormal stress to the tow bar, car chassis, baseplate and/ or pintle hitch of the towing vehicle. These abnormal stresses may cause damage that may go undetected 3. On the towed vehicle, disengage the parking brake and set up the transmission for towing and unlock the steering wheel. Pull forward with the towing vehicle until one or both of the locking handles are engaged and locked (When locked they will “pop” up). If only one locking handle is locked, turn the towed vehicle’s steering wheel towards the unlocked tow bar leg approximately 1/2 to 3/4 turn, before continuing forward. Drive the towing vehicle forward until the second leg locks into place.

I copy and paste this from Roadmaster owners manual. DRIVER MUST NOT BACK UP MOTORHOME WITH VEHICLE ATTACHED Backing up with towed vehicle attached easily causes the vehicle to "jack-knife" and will damage the tow bar, mounting bracket, hitch, the towed vehicle front end and/or rear of the motorhome. This is the primary cause of tow bar damage and will void the warranty. step 6 Now slowly pull away in the motorhome. Your tow bar will self center and the AUTOLOK system will "SNAP" into position as you drive away. Visually verify that the locks have engaged before taking your trip. TIP: If the BLACKHAWK™ arm does not automatically lock when you pull the motorhome ahead, try turning the motorhome left, then right as you pull away. This will pull each arm in the necessary direction to engage the locking mechanism.

I only had one problem with the kitchen on the slide. The sink p-trap nut came loose enough to leave a small puddle on the floor. I think it was due to road vibration not the slide. 5 minute fix on a double sink.

I do what dgwieb does with my Jeep Liberty and work everything except when I forgot to unlock steering wheel. I didn't get out of the campground before catching it but imagine how stupid I felt.

I had stayed at flying J not taking up two spots or running generator but for rest that next to impossible. Why, the constant flow of big rigs 24/7 coming in and out to fuel and stop for a few hours. That is where most of the noise and smell comes from. Yes I rather stay at a campground and have quiet night sleep if I can find a place at close by area but sometimes flying J is where I end up. I didn't reply to complain but please don't blame us if you pick a 24/7 truck stop for your layover.

Before I swapped my tires last year I had same problem with full length mud flap. What I did was swap out the clevis and rings for smaller ones to raise a couple of inches. Then I put on same size tires and have no issues without making a large $ mistake.

Is the cooktop on a slide out. Maybe the hose or line pinches when the slide moves? Just a thought.

I will fill the diesel tank before I enter so I have plenty of fuel to run the generator if needed. My wife is ready for an adventure.

I could be wrong but I think 295/80R 22.5 is a bit smaller diameter than 305/70R 22.5. I think better to go for 315/80R 22.5

Great to hear about rules and no need for toad. Dogs is well behaved but I will bring along wireless fence so young one don't escape. I'm signed up now for Redmond, OR with electric.

I have two dogs that travel with me. One is 13-year-old black Lab and is slowed down but in good health. The other is 2-year-old pointer/American bulldog mix who has a lot of energy. I'd like to attend the rally but have to bring the dogs, for I can't leave them at home. I think I need information on lot of rules, for I have never attended one of these rallies before. Also, do I need to tow my Jeep or is everything within walking distance? F434302 is on card and 434302 is the number on the goose egg.

I hear you MadHungarian as so many gas vehicles has gone to recess plugs. Another good method is to blow compress air into the recess to blow out debris being sure you have your safety glasses on. I worked government fleet for 30 years and I know how bad the operating conditions can be.

In my shop I have the extractor tool, taps for new seats and 6 mm camera to see what I'm doing. I expect at least one at each spark plug change. Brett what Rich is talking about the Triton 3 valve engine with the extended spark plugs. The non Triton engine have normal spark plugs and not without problems. The non Triton have only a few threads to hold plug in and strips easy. Hint for Triton 3 valve engines, pull vacuum line and suck a can of seafoam slowly into engine at idle and then let set overnight before removing plugs. I never had plugs break after doing that. Use Champion replacement spark plugs for replacement for they are solid not crimped on like Motorcraft. When installing put anti seize on both body and threads of spark plugs so no problem to remove later.

Contacting the dealer and manufacture how? Was it by phone, email or instant message? To get serious attention you must send them a certified letter to the owner of the dealer and management of the manufacturer. State that they must fix everything in a timely fashion or you will explore lemon laws. Back in 1994 I bought a Ford Thunderbird that had a transmission that would wind out before it shifted. The dealer kept telling me it was normal and the way it was designed. After a run around from the dealer for almost a year I sent a certified letter to the General Manager of the dealer and to Ford motor company. Less than a week later I got a phone call from the dealer that the parts to fix the transmission was in. The replacement was new valve body and computer and that fixed the transmission. The dealer and the manufacture knew all along what was wrong with the transmission but tried to stick me with it because it was costly to fix it right. When they knew that it was going to cost them the entire price of the car they fixed it. My demand to them is to fix the transmission of replace the car.
