You're right on that! I have a 1932 Chevrolet Confederate BA sedan that requires a lot of attention. Luckily for me there is an internet network of antique Chevrolet NOS and replacement parts suppliers. This winter I intend to refocus on the old car.

Welcome to the FMCA discussion forums!!! Happy to have you here, visit often. Try removing those fuses, re-charging chassis battery if needed, and try to start the engine again. Perhaps those 2 fuses were never present?

And without computers! It annoys me when something doesn't work as designed.

Congratulations! Perseverance pays.

I know from experience when things go sideways on the road it messes with your thinking.

Where is the other post perhaps more information is there?

Winnebago motorhomes for handicapped travelers.

I found this Richard:https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/garmin-outage-caused-by-confirmed-wastedlocker-ransomware-attack/ and this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/barrycollins/2020/07/25/will-garmin-pay-10m-ransom-to-end-two-day-outage/?sh=31aa7969316A Kinda sounds like RM is now in the same position.

I wrap a small black bungee cord around each lock lever, which holds them down. This way it's easy to unhook by myself.

Todays email sounds like RM has a complete systems failure, or perhaps a hacker locked their computer network and demands money for an unlock key.

I received this email Tuesday: "Dear Valued Customer, As you may be aware, Rand McNally recently discovered a disruption to certain portions of our computer and phone network.

I saw a bright side to that, I wouldn't have to get out of bed to go pee.

We have gotten used to the comforts of RV camping this would be a change: https://www.traveltipsor.com/extreme-camping-germany-waldseilgarten-camp/

Boils down to getting old sucks. Years ago someone asked Dad about the golden years; he said" feels more like lead to me".

Last year my battery charge readout behaved irregularly, Went tracking down the cause. When I checked battery cell liquid levels all were just below top of plates, filled cells with distilled water and my charger behaved normally. After the display read "float" I took hydrometer readings of each cell, one battery had a really low reading. New batteries cured all problems. Old batteries were 5 years old.

Herman listed the two largest salvage yards in the U.S.A. This is a list by state of smaller places. The list is not current, some are out-of-business.

Herman we have a permanent handicap hang tag in our MH due to DW's condition.We'll likely buy a handicap plate when the DMV issues new plates instead of an annual sticker.Handicap RV sites are a bit wider, leveler, with more concrete skirting for wheelchairs and walker use between RV and picnic tables. I think the MH's built for wheelchair/walker access inside are neat.

Winnebago built 484 Ultimate MH's between 1999 -2004.5, two models were built, the Ultimate Freedom and Ultimate Advantage. I was very surprised at the 5,000# load capacity.

I suspect I'll find out in the near future how much of my information was available to the hacker(s). As long as my apartment has wheels I can escape!

I received this email today, it sounds like their computer system has been hacked.

This is the only picture I could find; my computer has a mind of its own sometimes. All the details are in my signature, including the sales brochure. We bought in it 2013 from the co-owner of Speedco Indianapolis. He had it parked in his barn for 8 years after he became unable to drive.

I was lucky Winnebago did put weight information in the owners manual. My HWH slide basement compartments have a 300# load limit. I would expect 12V electric-powered to be less. Edit: my one slide is 24' with kitchen and sofa in the slide, it has basement compartments that are part of the slide-room, those are what has the 300# weight limit. Hope that makes more sense.

You do know some employees can drive their work vehicle home.

Concerning this thread topic, Mr. Walker is asking for input it seems: https://join.fmca.com/member-engagement/
