Solar Power

[Solar Power]

Thanks for the input.

I had heard that a charge controller may be needed.

When would one be needed or would a fuse do the same thing?

[Solar Power]

I am thinking of getting a small solar panel to keep batteries charged (house and/or motor). what size would be better? do I need anything else to protect the battery?

[Touring Wyoming]

Thanks for all your input. We are coming from St Louis MO..

[Touring Wyoming]

But how is the driving, is it all 4 lanes?

[Touring Wyoming]

We will be at FMCA rally in Gillette and want to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton and on to Cheyenne, Looking for the best route with least mountains (first time in mountains).

[Allegro Engine Dying]

Thanks for all the input. When we go back to the Ford truck mechanic we will pass all info to them. in the mean time we do drive in the right lane so we can coast to the shoulder if it should happen again.

[Allegro Engine Dying]

No, not an unusually hot day, and if we sit for a just a couple of minutes it starts up.

Tiffin told us to replace the crank shaft sensor, but the Ford motor place didn't really think it was that.

[Front Wheels off the Ground When Leveling]

Will it help to put blocks under the front or the back jacks?

[Front Wheels off the Ground When Leveling]

When leveling our motorhome and the front wheels leave the ground, what is the best way to correct this (without moving sites)?

[Allegro Engine Dying]

We have a 2012 gas Allegro Open Road, 4 months old.

On our first trip while going up a hill, in first gear, high revs, all power shut down (eng./elec). It happened again last week on the interstate in cruise -- again, high revs. Shut down again.

So far dealer is stumped. Any ideas?

[Hurricane Causing Change Of Vacation Plans]

We ended up at Red Bay longer than expected and the Gulf was clear by the time we went. Its Saturday here at Orange Beach and beautiful.

Thanks for all your help.

[GPS Rand McNally]

Rand McNally has their GPS (7701) on sale.

Has anyone used this GPS and how does it compare to the Garmin reg. on truck version?

[Mountain View Arkansas]

Any recommendations-- places to stay, things to do?

This is a spur of the moment trip because of the storm in the gulf, plans had to change.

How are the road coming from Memphis and going back to St Louis from Mountain View?

[Hurricane Causing Change Of Vacation Plans]

i think we might head toward Arkansas, that looks clear of the storm. How are the road to Mountain View for a motorhome?

[Hurricane Causing Change Of Vacation Plans]

We are going to be in Red Bay Alabama Tuesday to visit Tiffin.

We were planning on going down to the Gulf after that but now am in doubt because of the weather. We live in Missouri, so whats to see between Red Bay and St Louis.

[Mobile Bay Tunnel- I- 10]

Thanks for the info.

Last time I went thru was many, many years ago in a car and since I don't like tunnels it felt like it was a narrow tunnel that went on for hours

[Mobile Bay Tunnel- I- 10]

How long is tunnel under Mobile Bay? Will motorhomes fit?

Height and width?

[From Madison to Montreal]

We have changed our plans for next summer/fall. Originally we wanted to go from our home in Missouri and tour the northeast United States. Now, we've decided to use the FMCA Madison 2011 convention as a starting point, travel to Sault ste. Marie and on to Montreal and Toronto and then home through Detroit.

Any suggestions for KOAs or local campgrounds, travel roads, sites, etc.? We are fairly new at this, so any help will be appreciated.

[Missouri To The Northeast Coast]

I went to the Northeast Sept 10 thru Sept 26, 2010...N.Y. Thruway to the Green Mts. of Vermont (Von Trapp Lodge in Stowe)...White Mts of N.H. (Mt Washington is a must stop) ...Bar Harbor in Maine was next...Then down the Maine coast to R.I. (Newport is beautiful), Mass. & Ct. (take RT 1 to bypass the Maine tolls: very expensive). Next time will go around the first of Oct to see the foliage at its peak.

Thank you. Any good parks with waterfalls, great views etc?
