14 states, 15 campgrounds, 5,000+ miles in RV and 3,000+ miles via auto.

Just an Update. i have removed DirecTV. Installed a RoKu Premium which is a sound bar and RoKu interface to/from TV via HDMI. $99. Much better sound. Does require internet. Total monthly cost is less than DirecTV including internet, PBS, and Netflix. We have Amazon Prime, so no additional charge. We won't be going back to DirecTV.

This is very true. I installed three led lights. One had the color of wires reversed from the other two.

Are there any other 12vdc devices on the same circuit? Maybe exhaust fan? If so, are they working? Maybe a loose connection in that circuit that opened due to the accidental short.

Most auto parts stores sell double sided tape to attach trim and molding. Great it is removable with great difficulty. I had to remove my small FMCA logo off my towed auto when I traded. Cut through the center of the tape. It is thick. Then I was able to peal the remaining tape from the rear window and the logo.

X-2. Amen.

Thank you for correcting the IP: address. When I had mine, I changed the address, added security of only the MAC addresses of the devIces I would allow. I know that isn’t in the realm of normal users, but I did network and user support before I retired. Since our lifestyle has changed to less long distance travel, I returned that device and have added more robust internet service for our home. For the short weekend trips our cell phone data plan works well for us.

If I remember correctly, in your web browser enter 192.168.10.1. Login as admin and use password that was given to you, may have been on a label on bottom. Look through the menus to find the usage.

If you decide to have an outlet wired, I suggest that you install a three outlet campground type box with breakers. The outlets would be 50 amp, 30 amp and 20 amp ground fault. I think they are about $100-150 at big box stores. The wire from you main panel will probably cost more , but once done you will have electrical service for future RVs.

I understand that Jason has left FMCA, but does do contract services for FMCA. That is why I posted the general answer to let the receptionist route the call. Who knows when someone is on vacation or that a different employee can assist.

The answer is it depends. What items are you going to have on? If you are only charging the batteries, a #12-3 extension plugged into a 20 amp outlet would probably be enough if within 25-30 feet. Be sure that the outlet you plug into does not have other loads on it. Also, avoid a GFI outlet, some don’t like RVs connected. If you plan on operating a space heater, go up to a 30 amp extension and have a 30 amp outlet installed. Even if an electrician installs it, check the voltage between all the terminals to be sure it has not been wired as 240 volt not 120 volt you need.

Call 513-388-5217. The receptionist should answer. Ask her to direct your call to the person that handles problems with Tech Connect. I think it is the Membership Department, but I am not sure.

If you have the FMCA app, when it opens tap on the Forums button to open the Forums also works. Additionally, when talking to someone about joining FMCA, the benefits button is easier to use than the magazine to help in convincing.

That should work well, also.

Yes, get out a magnifying glass and look on the 120v plug end. Probably, it is 5 watts. The one supplied is 15 watts if I remember correctly. Since we are not traveling across the country anymore, the 60gb hotspot on our phones is enough to stream while at a chapter rally. At home we have Verizon wifi network that is unlimited and runs 30-50gb. So we canceled and returned equipment.

Herman is correct. It happened to mine. I installed a new battery and charged it to 100%. Then I used one of those little white cube chargers that came with an old cell phone. That charger's output was just enough to maintain without overheating to damage battery, so I could then leave it on charge 24/7.

This is true, but remember that WD-40 is really a cleaner and doesn’t privide lubrication. Since HWH states that you can use Automatic transmission fluid in their hydraulic system, you could after cleaning us it sparingly to lubricant.

I have my jacks down. Will not be using motor home until next May. So 7 months all together.

So, is the problem that the top doesn’t fit between the seaty to make the bed? Another post stated that the top should fit on cleats If the cleats are missing orneed to be extended, buy enough 1x2 pine at a big box store. Cut to length and screw it to the seats allowing for the top to drop level.

Do you have the table top? If so, you might try Rockler, a woodworker supplier. They have stores all across the country. Don't think they would have the strip that mounts to wall. The top has a matching strip to hang the top on the wall. A folding or a leg that unscrews from top should be available at Rockler.

There was some discussion about discontinuing that service a few years ago, because there were fewer than 15 a year. Also, the service was provided by an outside firm. I do not know the status, but tomorrow call FMCA and ask for membership services and ask.

It is not unusual for there to be a difference, especially if the odometer has been repaired.

We are able to use our iPhone’s Personal hot spots with RoKu without any problem.

Since you will have WiFi, you might want to consider a TV that has ROKU streaming service. It us free, but they link to other services that charge. We disconnected DirecTV and added ROKU. Since we have Amazon Prime, we linked that at no added charge. Wife wanted PBS which we added for $5.00/mo. We added Netflix for $14.00/mo. So for $14 for Prime, $14 for Netflix and $5 for PBS the total is &33/mo which is much less than the $85/mo for DirecTV.

Bulging batteries are usually caused by users leaving the unit on charge 24/7 which is warned not to do. I had that happen. Removed battery to get part number and ordered one online. Replaced battery with new one, charged to 100%, removed high amp charger and switched to low amp charger that came with an old cell phone. I was able then to leave on charge 24/7 without any further problem.
