Rany McNalley no longer supports any of the RV GPS units. They exited the RV market several years ago. I have obsolete two RM RV units that are basically useless today. Rany McNalley now only makes products for the commercial trucking and boating industries. There used to be aftermarket websites that sold Rany McNalley RV GPS map updates. I never did because you have no way of knowing if they are legitimate, or simply stealing CC information. I chose to buy a cheap Chinese unit named OHREX through Amazon. It is a trucker GPS and very accurate. Updates come on an SD card and cost $25 ea. I never buy an update, instead buy a new unit every other year, as they only cost $60 ea. I see today OHREX has a 9" model with free lifetime maps for $89. I don't know about anyone else, but those prices sure beat any name-brand sold, and IMO are just as accurate.

In addition to what wildbill suggested,(and I suspect he's right) inspect the exhaust manifold for any leaks. There will be black soot at a leak/crack.

For FMCA members only, there is a link on the home page to volunteer drivers for special situations. Otherwise, if you must hire a driver, they are required to have a CL, thus wildbill's recomendation to contact an RV dealership and inquire.

Right! Your Equinox owners manual has a paragraph "recreational towing" describing in detail. It is the only accurate source.

There are presently only 2 RV weighing business's, more will be very welcome. FYI:

Ya, their rules are strict. I got a demerit for including a hot link to this forum, 2 more and I'm banned. Yet they have a specific forum for FMCA, go figure??? As to cold, you bet! It's been around 10°every morning for the last 4 days, will be lower the rest of this week and never above freezing until Sunday with temps rise 30° above present ones. No wonder many here are sick. Don't allow yourself to get chilled, I did right after Christmas, was sick the month of January, still have a terrible cough.

There are 2 different Kwikee systems; pre-IMGL and IMGL. You must have the correct components. Kwikee Products Service Training Manual

At this point about all you can do is obtain written statements of their position on this matter for future substantiation in case of further damage. Keep in contact with Grand Design customer service, kinda like the squeaky wheel analogy. Communicate via email or snail mail, so you have everything in writing. Document everything said JIC this goes to legal action.

The Splendide service manual is no help. It just says to remove the retainer clip and pull the diaphragn back enough to replace door switch. I suggest you call Westlandsales @ 1-800-365-0766. They are excellent with helping.

Yep; DW had dining room, kitchen, and both bathrooms remodeled 11 years ago.$$$$$

I normally don't listen to speeches, but I agree- yesterday was a good day.

Ugh; stuck at home; 5°F at 13:25 hrs. That's improved, -1°F at 07:00 hrs. Considering Southern building designs, you guys are having to winterize your homes

We're nearly over "the crud'. Now that we're feeling good again we have so much snow we can't go anywhere. The state and county had the highways in good shape, so it snowed again all day Friday and into Sat morning-snowed in again. We've gotta make a grocery run, plus I'm about out of Kerosene for my garage torpedo heater. I do have a slight case of cabin fever...

It's RSV. Look it up, it's highly contagious and easily transmittable, more so than COVID-19. There is no cure, it just has to run it's course. The vaccine doesn't prevent one from contracting the virus; supposedly makes it milder. I guess now is the best time to be down with something, we got 3" light snow today, followed by a rain/sleet mix for a few hours. It began snowing heavily about 21:30. I had my tractor ready for pushing snow, loader bucket on, yard box on 3-pt hitch, fuel tank full. Then I needed to move some heavy timbers last week and switched to the pallet forks, got sick and couldn't put bucket back on, now I can't switch back because of this darned RSV, and my heart rate is running between 43 -55 BPM. DW is sitting on me like a mother hen.

I begin each days driving at 8AM and try to arrive at a CG for that night by 3PM. This somewhat insures I'll find a parking site. This fits my daily driving limit of 300 miles per day. When you get in FL, from the center of the state and south, locating a parking site might be unsuccessful in Feb. unless you have reservations already. BTW, if kaypsmith is still RVing, he's an expert on MCI bus'
