He said 3,000 answering operators across the country that do the answering for roadside service providers.

I called FMCA Roadside Assistance on New Year’s Eve for a failed door lock. Could not get in. Took about 1-1/2 hours for the locksmith to arrive and 20 minutes to fix. I am sold on using FMCA. The president of VAS when making Roadside Assistance seminar at Chandler stated there are 3,000 that answer for all road assistance providers. If you call and are not getting the response you expect, hang up and call again. Some of those 3,000 are great and some are not.

I have removed the Air Force One from my 2011 Equinox and installed it on my new 2019 Equinox. The 2019 requires a charge line. The 2011 didn’t. I have towed the 2019 about 1,500 miles without any problems. Wiring the light system takes longer to install than the Air Force One.

MagneShade made these covers for me. I like the twist latch’s, not snaps $320 I had a 3-1/2” open hem in the bottom I cut 1” pvc pipe, capped one end, filled with sand and capped the other end

Besides Rett, we also have a lot in Happy Trails Resort in Surprise, AZ. If the OP wants to PM me with his phone number, I will be happy to talk to him about Happy Trails and some others in AZ.

According to a Google search, Goodyear owns Dunlop & Kelly and Michelin owns BF Goodrich & Uniroyal.

I didn’t know Goodyear tires were in the FMCA benefit. Knew that Michelin, Continental and Hankooks were.

Some have a switch/push button to turn off the power to the over the air antenna. If the power is on, the satellite or cable signal will not be passed to the TV.

Best thing you could do. Those press to connect outlets are not what I consider to be quality. I had the same problem with an outlet for the TV in the bedroom.

The cloth I use was smoother than the canoe. Maybe because I coated the cloth with thick coats of the epoxy.

Not actually knowing where the outlet is located in your mh, have you checked the outlet with a meter. Some microwaves have internal fuses that will make them ‘dead’ and it’s not a problem with the incoming power.

Years ago I did this to repair a fiberglass canoe that during a storm had been blown off my trailer. Worked very well. My son is still using it. You can buy the materials at automotive parts stores. We have one in our town that specializes in body repair supplies. The items are glass mat, two part epoxy and plastic putty knife to apply. Put on a coat of the epoxy, while wet apply glass mat. Coat one or two more times with the epoxy. When dry and hard, sand edges smooth. Tint can be added to the epoxy as desired.

Unless your wife is running the washing machine.

My LED system was from Roadmaster which was a lot easier than diode wiring I did on my first two towers.

Please be very careful about using diodes. Several manufacturers are voiding the vehicle warranty if you connect using diodes. I just bought a 2019 Equinox and my local RV dealer and Roadmaster stated to not wire into the auto’s rear lights. I used LED system that did not use the auto’s electrical system. Roadmaster and Chevrolet also stated to not use a rock shield in front of the Equinox. I assume to not block air flow, but the reason was not stated. Both also stated to use a charge wire to keep the battery up. Not sure why this wouldn’t void warranty, also.

I just used Foxfire on my iPhone and it worked well.

Reading the description of the box as being 120/240, I think the 50 amp is a double pole main breaker. The mess of wires below the breakers concerns me more. Possibly, this is the cause of ‘hot skin’ situation the OP mentioned.

Besides turning on and off, can you see where the wires are routed? I have a switch that was added to be able to turn on the tire pressure system so ignition doesn’t have to be on.

Many RV’s have the same parts. Possibly, if you ask specific questions, someone may be able to answer your question that doesn’t have exactly the same RV.

Why not call FMCAssist. While a transport of a disabled RV is not covered, concierge service/information is. They probably can provide information.

On ours, I could remove the camera and plug it directly into the back of the monitor to test. If it works, you know it is the cable or connectors. Maybe yours would too. If you do remove camera, tie a cord onto the cable before you disconnect. If the cable falls down between the end cap and RV wall, it is difficult to locate. I have had to replace 3 or 4 monitors and 3 cables in 20 years.

Mine had seven years and 87,000+ miles without incident.

If it is like my 2006, it is under dash in the center. Should be two fuse blocks. Use a 12volt light tester. I think I got mine at Harbor Freight. Alligator clip on one end, clips to ground. Use the pointed probe to check fuses. If the fuse is good the light will be bright on both contacts in the fuse. If only one side lights, fuse is bad. If neither side lights there a power feed control elsewhere.

When you say regular, is it down stream from a GFI outlet? Also, try charging your batteries with an external charger with the RV unplugged and inverter off. After charge, turn off all breakers in RV except main and inverter. There should be two breakers on the side of the inverter to turn off. Unplug or turn off all loads on the inverter. Plug back in as you did before in a non GFI outlet. If problem present, there is a problem in your main shore cable, transfer box, wiring to inverter or something is causing an excess charge load. If OK to this point, turn on inverter. If Ok, turn on one of the two breakers on the side of the inverter. If ok, turn off that breaker and turn on the second. If one of the circuits causes the problem, you have isolated which is the problem circuit. If ok turn both on. I have 18 outlets on one breaker and had a problem. Went midway and with shore and inverter power off, I disconnected the outlet. Turned back on. No problem, the problem is in last half. If problem present, it’s in the first half. Keep dividing until you find the problem. Mine was a burned wire inside the third of those cheap RV outlets from the inverter. Installed an outlet box and home style 20 amp outlet with screw side wire clamps, not push in style. Trouble shooting an electrical problem takes a lot of time a patience. Good luck.

We leave Aug 5th for Minot. Three nights with reservations. Two are Pass Port at half price, one is full price, but all are full hook up. 350 to just under 400 miles per day. If we were not constrained in our schedule, we would travel without reservations. We don’t have reservations for our return home. May travel different route. We have a 38 foot motor home and tow an Equinox. I have always been able to get big enough sites. Even at Rocky Mountain NP that states 35 ft max. When the restrictions seem to be tight I do make a reservation stating our needs.
