With great regret, I have announced my resignation as Nor-Cal chapter Leader. John Dawson will be handling the Spring Rally this year. As many of you know, we have bought a house in Idaho, near Mountain Home. I am still working full time at Safari RV Repair at Shasta Lake for the time being and...

Just to add a bit. You MUST have at least 9.5 volts at the fridge for the control board to function. If batteries are low, it may not work. It should work if you are plugged in and your converter is working. I have never heard mine running, but I leave it in the auto mode and it switches at...

I can not believe you didn't stop and see me on the way by! :) Have fun! Can't wait until I get to be retired too.

AirLift has one of the only kits I know of made specifically for the B&W. We've used 2 of them now. One on an 05 f350 dually and another on an 08 f350 dually. Hope this helps. :)

Re: What Hppened? Congrats guys! Don't feel alone, I think it happened to a few people at the Gillette Rally too. Enjoy that new rig!

Depending how far north you are coming, A visit to Lassen National Park is a must-see. If you don't like roughing it, there are several nice rustic RV parks with full hookups within a quick drive of the entrance to the park. One of my favorite space saving laundry items are the Purex 3-in-1...

Let me make a few calls tomorrow morning when I get to work, and I'll see if our distributor has one in any of the warehouses. I'll see if I can find one close to you. I just sold one a few weeks ago, but there are none in our closest warehouse and I have to log into our system to check the...

RE: the pin box cover. We've got a guy that is proto-typing one for us now. Should have the first one by the time we go to Gillette. He can do them in just about any color, graphics, etc. I'll post here how this works out. It's for a clients Landmark.

On some of the appliances (refrigerator mostly) they can be jumpered to check. The HWH boards can usually be put on a tester. Microwave probably is an internal fuse. Get it to an authorized (Dometic, Norcold, etc.) Service center. Might cost you an hour of service time, but would be worth it...

There are 4 different hinges. They are all 14" universal replacements. My guess is that its either the newer elixir or the jensen plastic hinge. One has crimp ends, one has a screw that holds it at each end, one looks kind of like a piano hinge and one has the metal part on the base and plastic...

More tales from the Darkside (service industry): Our normal labor rate is $98 hr. We charge $110 for warranty work because of the extra paperwork, phone, and processing. I have never had Heartland question either rate. We charged them $110 in the beginning, but we do so much now, and I have a...

The Old Bag factory in Goshen is full of artisan shops and a good restaurant. If you like RV surplus, D&D is out about six miles from the fairgrounds on the same road as the Fairgrounds. Amish farm, big old barn chock full of parts. We got some $40 retail light fixtures for $2, cabinet doors...

Don't wait until 4:00, and the roads are pretty good. Last time we were there we were in a class A, but the sites are deep and wide with a lot of privacy. Windy and a walk to the beach. There are rows of bushes between the sites that kind of help with the wind. The lighthouse tours are...

I believe this is an excellent step for Heartland. As someone who deals with the warranty end of these trailers (Excellent department, by the way) I would suggest holding the dealers feet to the fire as well. I know they have an allowance to do a PDI before the unit is delivered to the end...

A huge thank you to each and every one that attended the Oroville Rally. It was a lot of fun and the rally wouldn't be possible without you. Special thanks to the KOA folks for taking such great care of us, and to my decorating "ninjas" that had all the decorating and wrapping work done in 20...
