    Ohio to florida gulf coast

    Capt, Where are you staying in Palmetto? We leave on Tuesday to Fiesta Grove in Palmetto and will be there until Apr 1. As stated, I-75 is the route and Atlanta is the biggest headache of the entire route. We generally stay on I-75 through Atlanta as we haven't experienced any less traffic...

    St. Louis (Fenton area) campgrounds

    The two Fenton campgrounds (Covered Bridge CG and Bellevue Mobile Home) were flooded last year. Does anyone know the current condition of these campgrounds. Have they recovered satifactorily as far as safety and sanitation? RVparkreviews does not have any recent post so any response is...

    Sewer smell in camper after packing up and moving

    When I was getting the odor through the studor valves was when I would have the gray tank valves open (which when set up with sewer I always have the valves open). The smell evidently was the sewer gases coming back through the gray tanks. Water in the traps prevents the smell from coming...

    Sewer smell in camper after packing up and moving

    My rig would release foul odors through the air admittance valves whenever the air condition or the fantastic roof vents were operating. Replacing both the kitchen and bath valves did not help. I finally replaced the valves with plugs and have not had any foul odors since and that has been 4...

    Timbrens

    I had them on my past two F250's and was completely satisfied with them. Both vehicles had 3/4 to 1 inch space when not loaded so they had no impact when truck was not loaded/hooked up. I did not put anything on my current Ram 3500 SRW as no spring help is needed.

    Fla campground recommendations

    Hey Capt. If you are talking about Frog Creek in Palmetto its a decent and friendly campground for the price/area. We stay at Fiesta Grove Campground next door to Frog Creek and really like it also.

    Should I be able to get my brakes to lock on cyclone 3110?

    To check the voltage, the brakes have to be connected to something. When I check my voltage at the jbox at the pin, brake controller set on heavy electric and 10, using manual slide I only get 8 volts. As it is a proportional controller, so far no one has been able to answer if this is normal...

    Should I be able to get my brakes to lock on cyclone 3110?

    Bobca1 I believe its an inherent weakness with the Dodge integrated brake controllers. My brakes on my 2013 are the same as yours, very weak. The trailer brakes are good and check out both mechanically and electrically, and I have taken the truck to the Dealership twice about the brake...

    why is there a vent under bathroom sink?

    I have found that when running the a/c, it sometimes creates enough vacuum to cause the valve to open emitting odors. I replaced the valve and it did not help. I finally took it off and put a plug in. Whalla.....no more odors and everything drains as normal. I'm not sure why its there to...

    Campgrounds around Clearwater, Fl.

    Thanks Cjackg, I'll look into that CG. I agree that getting in some place may be tough. Fortunately we've still got our reservations at the same place we've spent the last 6 or 7 winters. We just thought we would try somewhere different for part of the time.
