Hello, I am testing to see if my profile updated after I made a change earlier today.

It looked like he was planning this trip some time ago.

I saw it at Gillette. I don't think there is a real problem with the conventional slide topper if it is adjusted correctly. If it flaps in the wind the tension is too little. The price of the True Topper was around $5000 which I thought was high.

Low voltage on display when operating jacks
desertdeals69 replied to deanie8's topic in Type C Motorhomes
Check the voltage at the battery terminals and at the pump motor. Should be at least 12.4 volts at both locations or not more that 1/4 volt difference. -
I would never accept an RV until everything was fixed to my satisfaction. Only sign a binding agreement to buy if everything is fixed. If the dealer won't do that run away from the deal. They probably won't fix it like you want.

I use to use Centrimatics for years and it seemed never quite right. I switched to beads about 10 years age and have been more happy with the balance. Being the tightwad I am when I changed tires I scooped out the beads and put them in the new tires.

Freightliner XCS Chassis wheel alignment?

You should check the toe-in. If it is 0 it will wander. -

Have you serviced the burner? Is it trying to light? -
Chevy Silverado Tow Question
desertdeals69 replied to KB9VGD's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I use M&G for braking on my Silverado 1500 4X4. It works great, wouldn't have any other system. -
Anyone going to Tucson that's on the tech advisory committee? I would like to get together.

I will answer your questions in order. It was fairly easy for me because I had several friends and business associates pass away in their 50s and 60s. They were all looking forward to the day they retired, counting the months, days. I thought between 55 and 60 would be right for me. As it turned out it was 58 for me. My overall plan was to keep busy building or repairing different things. I was a teacher in the seventies which allowed me to take my family in the motorhome every summer. We went through all 48 states in 3 1/2 years. We had opened up a repair shop for boats and rvs. I started to think about retirement when I was about 30. I decided not to charge or finance anything except a house. I paid cash for cars, motorhomes, and boats. When the time came to retire everything was paid for. I built my current home in 87-88. I was an owner builder. I paid cash for materials and traded some labor for things I couldn't do such as cement work, framing, roofing, plumbing, and electrical wiring. We moved into a paid up house. I am so busy now I wondered how I had time to work! My current project is solar power for the motorhome. I just tested today in my driveway. The big test is Tucson in a couple of weeks. We still enjoy traveling. Done almost 300 nights of cruising around the world, been to 7 continents and dozens of countries. Still enjoy motorhome travel.

Operate Residential Refrigerator While in Storage??
desertdeals69 replied to fagnaml's topic in Systems and Appliances
I would contact the manufacturer of the refrigerator for their recommendations. -
I tried one several years ago and couldn't get it to work. They replaced the unit a couple of times and the harness and I tried using the connection at the engine and nothing would work. I have one on a Prius and it works. I now have Bluefire on my coach.
