    Had an accident with my new camper yesterday, I removed the door when i put the slide out.

    I've got bungee cords with the 1" diameter plastic balls on about all my cabinets. If 2 pulls are close enough to each other I bungee them together. Also use them on the wire shelves in the pantry. I'm looking to replace all the latches. Maybe with magnet style. 2018 OSHKOSH.

    Turn the refrigerator off?

    Thanks! That worked. Turned the breaker back off and turned the inverter off on the interior panel. Apparently i'm wore out worse than I thought. LOL

    Turn the refrigerator off?

    Me again. 2018 Landmark Oshkosh with Insigna refer. I can't figure out how to turn it off. I want to have the 5th plugged in to run the A/C, lights, etc. But, I want the refer off so I can leave the doors open to allow it to dry out after use. I have done this before by turning the breaker off...

    Drums to discs

    We just had Performance Trailer Braking do a drum to disc brake conversion. They came down from Norman Oklahoma to our home near Houston Texas. Got here about 10am and finished around 4 pm. $2800 for parts for our 8000# axles and $1000 labor. Preston and Alyssa knew what they were doing and had...

    Upgraded TMPS

    I just tried that. I will say it was just a bit better, but I was in my garage, not out in the sun. I have removed the tire transmitters and packaged everything back up for shipment. I'll call TST next week and see what they want to do. I want them to test it and be sure it's set-up right and...

    Upgraded TMPS

    So you are using it mounted in the center? You can see it from the drivers seat but your wife in the passenger seat can't? That is strange. I'll try it in the center. I really didn't want it there though.

    Upgraded TMPS

    I bought the TST color unit a few weeks ago. I need to call them (again) about not being able to see it. I had to go in a dark room to set it up initially. Using the vacuum mount on the windshield with the monitor low on top of my Ram dashboard close to the A pillar I can only see an occasional...

    Washer & dryer choices

    We didn't have a wall in the closet, just a clothes rod all the way across side to side. I put side by side Magic Chef 2.0 cu ft washer ($269) and 3.5 cu ft dryer ($311) in there. The dryer barely fit front to back. Got them from Home Depot. Also bought extended warranty for about $75 each. No...

    Lug nuts

    Well said. I was thinking if a man could grab a 17.5" wheel and LR H tire and run with it, he can keep it. - - - Updated - - - I could use that $4,000 somewhere else but I'm doing it.

    Lug nuts

    Good idea. I have an ongoing email conversation with them about a disc brake conversion. That would be a good time to put the new lug nuts on. They did mention that they owned a Heartland. Do you think your new lug nuts are duplex or solid? 7/8" or 3/4" ?

    Lug nuts

    I have found this: Bulge Acorn Lug Nut 9/16-18 Chrome 3/4" Hex Flat Top 1.9" Tall — Lug Nut Guys Looks like the fakes (duplex) are 7/8" and the solids are 3/4".

    Lug nuts

    My lug nuts are apparently separating which I guess means that they are the cheap 2 piece style...a lug nut with a fake cover. I am concerned that they will strip and spin at the worst possible time..on the side of the road. I went to my local ORielly auto parts and they had Dorman brand but not...

    Switch??

    Yes it is. Can't believe I stood there turning the switch off and on and didn't see lights. THANKS!!

    Switch??

    I now recall reading that the front exterior outlet is switched. Could be it. I'll test that soon. It's not the awning strip LED lights.
