So I was going to post about an hour ago looking for help with what could be wrong with my slideout. Hit the switch and could hear the motor but the slide went nowhere. Decided instead to have the wife hit the switch while I poked around. I could see a shaft through the frame turning but...

Just got home last night. Lots of construction in I81. GPS said 10h15m, I figured 12hours, took 13+ to get there and just under 13 to get home.

I will take a look at that, thanks.

Good input, thanks. I'll be checking everything that is caulked. Of course, it is pouring today. Not sure what the best thing to use is, I have a tube of silicone that I was planning to use at the lights but wondering if acrylic latex caulk would be better at the antenna...

Just one leak, definitely was the marker light on the front, looking at it from the top, there was a clear gap. Planning on recaulking the rest before they become a problem its just that there are a lot of lights and I did not have enough daylight to do them all last night. Water system has...

Got the one taken care of last night, will try to get the other 13 or so done this weekend...

Last weekend my wife showed me an area in the front of our unit where the wall is bubbling in seemingly random spots but only on one side. The only thing I can figure is that there is a leak and thinking about it, the most likely location I can come up with is the marker light on the top front...

Just wondering if anyone can fill me in on how hilly I84/I81 is. Planning a trip to DC and want no part of I95 through NY/NJ so was planning on I84 to Scranton then I81 to Harrisburg and either I83 to I695 around Baltimore or staying on I81 to Hagerstown then I70/270. Hoping the reduced stress...

OK, so it seems most of the traffic here deals with 5th wheel stuff but...my current hitch is just a husky round bar with no sway control. It has been fine on back roads and whatnot but we are planning a trip down to DC this summer and with a lot of highway between here and there, I want...

This is what I was thinking. Yeah, I don't plan on making this mistake again... Thanks for all the replies, heading out to make the connections (since I think today is the only nice day we will have this week). edit: OK, I probably should have looked more closely before I even asked, the...

Thanks. And now that I think about it, the tape is on the red, not the white.

OK, stupid question (but I hate electrical so I'm going to ask it anyway)... I do not remember which wire went to which terminal on the battery. Red and White wires, I would think red would be positive BUT there is a small piece of electrical tape around the white wire at the loop that goes on...

OK, so the steps have always been very tight. When I folded them up after winterizing it was far more of a chore than it should have been, in fact I am dreading folding them out. Is there any easy way to make them easier to operate?

Good information, we are considering a trip either this summer or next. It will be our longest trip so far.

I am a long way away from that possibility...
