    My dash A/C on Aria runs dash Temperature when I first Start up of 62 F . The condenser fan motor wont turn on to cool down condenser , so dash air temp will rise quickly . I can run a garden hose on condenser and it will cool  dash A/C very quickly. I need to find out if there is a relay or fuse for condenser fan . A/C compressor and condenser are Freightliner (just out of warranty) Do not know about wiring and fuse or relay is Thor. Thor is hard to to get an answer from  and Freightliner says it is a Thor issue. Anyone have a clue where the the fuse or relay would be or how to check for bad fan?

    Has anyone traveled in a Motor Home with a toad from Niagara Falls to Port Huron going through Canada?  It looks like the routes would be 405, 403, 401, and 402.  Not sure the rules and guidelines.  Not sure about diesel stations and RV Parks to stay in.  It's much faster then going back around the lake but wasn't sure what the border patrols are like.  Nor the roads.

    We traveled that exact route about 4 years ago. Entered at Niagara and exited at PH. Didn't concern ourselves with staying overnight as we made the trip thru Canada in less than a day. The roads conditions were excellent and smooth. Wide open and flat terrain. No problem if you need fuel either. Border patrol did enter my MH in Niagara for inspection but that is expected due to my previous employment and places (with lots of sand) that I have traveled. I also returned the same way after a beautiful stay in the Upper Peninsula and the border entry and exit was seamless. Do not try to hide anything from Border Patrol and definitely no weapons of any kind. Cost me about 30 minutes from start to finish.

    Thank you for your response.  A couple more questions.  Where did you sightsee once you were in Port Huron?  We are wanting to travel all 5 lakes but once you get there, we weren't sure where to stay or visit.  We also thought about going on up to Sault Ste. Marie then we could see Superior as well.  Otherwise there isn't much up there to go to unless you go clear across to Duluth.  Camp grounds seemed scarce.  Did you need your passport?

    Thank you very much for the information.  That helps us a bunch.  I had checked out the resort you mentioned, was hoping for something a little closer but understand.  The ones I have found, don't seem to have very good reviews.  All mentioned it was very pricey which I was not surprised, but was hoping since they are all in such a resort area, they would be nicer parks.  Thank you again.  Barb

    My husband and I are thinking about going to the Grand Tetons on our way back from Astoria Oregon.  Our directions take us across Hwy 20 to Idaho Falls then down Hwy 26 and up through Jackson Wyo.  Then up to the park.  I have 2 questions:  Has anyone taken that route, any thoughts?  We have a 35 ft motor home and will be towing.  Also, it is very limited in the RV Parks to choose from near the park.  Most of them that I am finding are not rated very highly and comments are leaving little to be desired.  Does anyone have any experience with the parks in that area?  One would think as beautiful as the area is, there would be a number of decent campgrounds to choose from.  Thank you, Barb

Talk to 3 guys at Thor Diesel Rally ,Oct. 2017 that had same problem. Can anyone think of someway I could try and secure it myself ,since it is out of warranty?  Any help on how to secure it myself would be appreciated. Robert.

    Does anyone know what kind of repair shop would fix hail damage on roof ac cooling fins and rear engine diesel radiator cooling fins. My insurance will cover cost ,no deductible. Can the ac cooling fins always be fixed, they are pretty smashed from hail. Any information would be helpful . I have a 2018 Thor ARIA 3401 Diesel pusher. Camping World would not do fix and could not recommend anyone. Does anyone know of any kind of hail protectors for roof ac units or some kind of protection for read engine diesel radiator?

    Did you read my post? There are only two manufacturers that are currently licensed to use the TRW patented Comfort Drive System, Newmar and Newell. AC is American Coach owned by the REV Group. I'm not familiar with their steering system.

    Thank you for your reply, I am new with a DP and appreciate your information.

    Manholt ,in Galveston ,TX. says "Newmar is not the only Manufacturer with "Comfort Drive"! Just called by a different name and been around a long time! I have a variation of it on mine & FIVE has the same ,both AC,s!"   What are AC,s and what is the other manufacturer with "Comfort Drive"  that Manholt said had been around a long time. Any information would be  appreciated.  ROBANDBARB.

    This is not the correct place this response on the forum, but what I mean by positioning with your mirrors is this. To focus a mirror correctly, left mirror should be positioned so that the left rear of your vehicle should be visible enough that no more than 15% of the mirror shows the rear end of your vehicle, the same is true for the right side. Now while driving when glancing at the mirror, as one should do on a regular basis, make a mental note that the right rear of your vehicle is the same distance from the either line or edge of the road as it is to the line on your left side. Once anyone gets used to this method, they will automatically correct the steering so that this happens. Just something that I learned 60 years ago, that was the first time that I drove a truck, has worked well for me ever since. And focusing further down the road is a good trait, that also contributes to defensive driving.

    I will try and digest what you've said here.  I do look out my mirrors a bunch, of course, but not sure if they are setup as you mention.  Nice tip, thank you.
