If no shore power, turn off when in storage. I have 50A in storage barn now, I leave inverter on and should the main or sub source of electric go out, my generator will come on automatically after 10 seconds and turn off when electric comes back on. By Christmas we will have 2 back up, propane generators to run house and outside in case of elect power lose. Brett snuck in...good ? My water pump has always been 12Volt.

My Hummingbird brain, tells me that Marcus has no wish to acquire FMCA! Why would he? Not because of Insurance or roadside assist, etc. there are a lot of FMCA members who already pay for that via GS! Most of us, me included are life members of GS. ML today, is indirectly worth about 2.5 Billion. CW went public, but the majority of that stock is owned by a holding company, that is owned by Marcus L. My personal feelings for ML as a business man, is that he's very good at what he does....I just don't like the way he does it. He's taken a lot of small businesses and group them together under his umbrella company, by helping them from bankruptcy, he takes 50.1% because he has the cash flow. The original owners, have in affect lost their business forever.

So much for FamCamps, Linda and I both carry at all times, one reason we have not been back to Canada of late. Linda is working on that, as we want to go back to Alaska....she has a Federal carry permit (another life). Do appreciate the heads up!

I had the invisa brake before on a Jeep and the problem is that if you use the jeep for off road and I do...it gets wet and it does not work anymore, it does not like to get bounced around and it don't work anymore! I think that most brake systems work well, it just depends on the vehicle you wish to tow 4 down. Off road is a different animal, than a Honda CRV or a Caddy. Bill E. I had a 10,000 pound Blue Ox, as Herman can attest to, and when I sold the Silverado, I went back to Roadmaster...I was not found of the BO! Will not make that mistake again.

Linda told me, hers also would all off a sudden come on...found a crack in the door, Duck tape fixed it...Dyson fixed it better!

I have no problem understanding, why some OTR drivers can't stand us, coach or trailer! Most owner/driver of a RV don't have a clue and should not be trusted with anything bigger than a Civic! Even that is debatable!

Got tired of messing with mine, so I got a Dyson Stick on sale at Low's. Linda got one for her coach also, then the house and my Dyson Ball now lives in the shop! Both our (she has a 40 foot Phaeton, DP 350 Cat) central vac systems are in the other shop!

Since I also run with gen on, I turn my AH off, get plenty of hot water from engine. I turn mine to diesel for showers, electric for dishes. Only had the AH on one time for furnace while driving, got caught in Ice and Snow in Utah, 3 years ago! 54,300+/- pounds + toad, 45 foot American Coach. 6.2-6.4 avg. mpg.

F94273S. Welcome to FMCA and the Forum! If you have your fathers cast plate, just paint a small S and use them!

Wayne. Probably Snail speed & it's amazing how many people there are that don't know, or have that sixth sense of how wide their car is...now their in a RV! Good luck! BillE. If your hauling the long trailer...you can have some fun!

Herman. That's a real good thought.. Here I thought you said your brain was a little simple!

Common sense and courtesy, got replaced by "me first"! Time to add bleach to the gene pool and get rid off "Stupid"!

Tom. Coming to your ex Gander will be trailers and coaches for sale...think CW. Ugh!

Kevin. Welcome to the Forum! Goggle...Maverick RV Resort, Lajitas, TX. at Black Jack Golf Resort & Spa. Very nice RV Park at $37.50, full hook ups, wifi and cable!

Your a Eagle...I'm a Tradition. TCC found that my solar panel was not hooked up...just a coil of wires! Thank you Allied. Yours is also a 2014 !

USAA will insure your furniture, etc in a storage unit and it's reasonable...also, whoever you go with, get a separate umbrella policy. All State and USAA is $40 per million, per month. Cheep !

Yes, loss ground at the starter switch was my problem. Did the Tech look at and check the terminals to see if they where tight and none corroded? Make sure your getting a good solid and tight ground connection at starter batteries...bare metal contact.. A lot of coaches do not charge start batteries from inverter/converter, charge house batteries only. I suspect yours is set up like mine. Both Fleetwoods! I have a separate trickle charger hooked up to start batteries with a 15A extension cord. There is a Solar panel on my roof, but it's only hooked up to my house batteries (8)!

Pedal power bikes or motor? I have used a sail (sailboats) making shop in Clear Lake, Texas for years. I give them the dimensions and they make me canvas covers for anything. BBQ Pit to Bikes and Motor cycles! Very cost effective and water proof !

Call another company. Compare rates, do not fall in love or friends with your agent !

N2. I have M&G, had it done at the Perry, GA. Rally and love it. My front bumper is 3/16" steel and I use the same holes as my D rings fit in for towing, no base plate to get in the way off my skid plate.

Rich, they have 4 slides and it is a HWH system. As Herman said, the contact switches under the slides, inside bay doors, will prevent slide from moving until the switches are closed. Had the same problem on my Allegro Bus! They could also call the REV group, tech dept.

Welcome to the Forum! Magnum is on as long as you have power...I have 2 inverter/converters, 2,800 each and the management system is on as long as you have a charge in batteries or until you have batteries disconnected. In your battery bay, you should find 2, 300A disconnect switches. One is for house and one for chassis (starter). You also, might have another switch in engine compartment...mine is behind starter batteries. When all are turned off, your whole coach is dead... Better to get a solar panel with a controller and start your generator once a month to exercise it, take it all the way to full load and run for an hour...that will also charge your system!

My engine is a 2009 and has the Particulate filter, when it goes into regen mode, my # 1 and 2 exhausts heats up to 1,200+ to 1,400 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes and only works while I'm driving at 55 + mph! Therefore I'm a tad concerned about having open LPG.

CHARLIE8210. As on another post. Welcome! Let's hope that this time, more than 1% of the membership will VOTE ! One vote per F#

casuall454. Everyone ages differently. Only difference in travel now as compared to 20 years ago, is the distance I can and will comfortably drive, also speed that I drive has decreased.
