Sprint MiFi -good or bad?
rossboyer replied to tommiefern's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
Yes, you can attach an external antenna. There are two small rubber plugs on top. The external connections are below. I did try this and found that reception actually decreased. Therefore, I do not recommend using an external antenna. -
Inverter / charger checks out, but not charging batteries.
rossboyer replied to sdllc03's topic in Electrical
There are several printed circuit boards. One of them, I think it is the 2nd from the front, has a small glass fuse which can easily be blown because of load and ambient heat. -
Many resistive devices do not tolerate the output of an inverter well: warning blanket, heating pads and hair curler. Don’t know about tooth brush though.

If you are close enough to Elkhart, Indiana, you can get a MRI number by calling Xantrex and then carry in for repair. It would be much cheaper than replacing. When I had mine repaired, the charge was less than $100, but I am sure it depends on what was repaired. As I understand, other service center is in the state if Washington, but it is drop off and shipped into Canada for actual repair. Because of the weight and sturdy shipping container required, shipping to have repairs made is very high cost. -

See if Salesman switches are on. If not, turn them on. If on look for a large 200-300amp fuse is good should be located in line coming from coach battery bank. Maybe a 30amp breaker in main power panel is off. -
I put all the required information in my phone as a contact.

FMCA Assist and passenger ? FMCA Associate?
rossboyer replied to John10ey's topic in Membership/Benefits
I don’t think you need to register as what. If I remember correctly, significant other is covered if listed on membership. But only two people may be listed on one membership. -

Why not list her on your membership? -
Sprint Hotspot battery swelling
rossboyer replied to mfinnesgard's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
I had that problem, because I was leaving it on charge all the time. New battery. Charged to 100% and switch to one of those small white cube chargers for an iPhone. Maintains, but doesn’t over charge. -
On my 2006, it is in the electrical bay where the inverter/charger is located. Look high on the left side wall. Identified with a lot of wire entering and exiting the black box. Measures about 8”Wx10”Hx3”D.

See if you can get reservations? We liked staying at Colter Bay in the Tetons. The campground is on the north end of the Teton NP. Easy access to drive into Yellowstone and/or Tetons or Jackson. I don’t know if you have to also have a reservation to drive through. There has been some discussions that dome NP are doing that. If you can take a float trip through the Tetons on the Snake river. Gentle ride. Like sitting on a large inner tube. We have done it 3 times and always took the last trip of the day. Best time to see the most wildlife. We liked the north end to center best.

I placed mine on the rear ladder using brackets you can buy online at the FMCA merchandise store. I used the license mount holes on the front for the other one. Some members have been saying they put the decal type on a piece of plastic and display in the windshield.

Tech recommends Inverter Change ($2,500 job)
rossboyer replied to obiwan_canoli's topic in Electrical
Many people do not know that Indianapolis is the orthopedic center for the USA. The doctor that did surgery on AJ Foyt was the same one that did scoliosis surgery on my wife where he removed all the discs from the base of the neck down to L3 and installed screws and rods. Her surgery was 31 years ago. Remained pain free until about 4 years ago. The disc between L3 and L4 collapsed and cause the nerve to be pinched between L5 and pelvis. Now pain is gone, but she has difficulty walking without additional support. Getting old is he… -

Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
rossboyer replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
I think all members that accept emails from FMCA received an announcement of the new FMCA Mobile app. I download it for my iPhone from the App Store. It is excellent. So easy to use. Tried it for a day. Because of the ease of use, I removed the two link icons I had on my Home Screen. One of those was to get to the Forums and the other was to get to the FMCA home screen. Suggest you download and try it out. One quick place to show member benefits to show potential new members. -
Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
rossboyer replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
I really would like to attend, but I have a conflict in schedule. Hope to see some of you around and about the convention. -
If the consignment dealer wants the motor home on their lot, be sure the insurance covers the RV on their lot. You may need to check if the current insurance covers loss to you while in the storage or if driven.

Use Motorhome Generator as Back-Up for Sticks & Bricks Home
rossboyer replied to fagnaml's topic in Electrical
But if I remember correctly, doing this does not meet the National Electrical Code where automatic transfer is needed. -
Attaching FMCA Membership Plate to Motorhome
rossboyer replied to Vegasmailman's topic in Modifications
Actually, dead center is the least air flow, but maybe it can be mounted to the side if it clears the radiator area.- 46 replies

Didn’t know that. As suggested, a thermostat and bigger fan may help.

You had the inside of radiator cleaned, but I would really think that the transmission cooler, CAC snd radiator sandwich needs to be cleaned on the outside. Search the forums for the cleaning process that FREIGHTLINER recommended to me.

Would OP be turning off what we call the Salesman switch? Possibly, 12 volt dc is needed for the air conditioner control circuit.
