Tony, I've been looking at these. My concern was the WIFI access. Do you rely on the campground WIFI or do you use cellular access? If you use campground WIFI does that mean you have to do a setup each time you move. Would really be interested in a review of the product after you've had time to...

Currently truck shopping, and everywhere you go, the dealers want to "find your model" at another dealer. I've never asked but, do RV dealers "swap" inventory like car dealers do? If they don't why not??? We sort of ran into the same thing as John, when we bought our BH

I think they more likely went out of business because of the type of product. RV's are luxury items subject to the whims of the economy. Couple that with the fact that it is a limited luxury market. Not everyone who can afford one enjoys the life style. Market became saturated and only the...

But customers would see fewer problems on new trailers. So customer satisfaction would go up and the company would see a 5% increase in future sales - an additional 2500 trailers. But the executives are concerned about whether they can really capture that 5% projected increase in sales. Several...

Our first RV SOB of any size we owned for over 7 years. Other than the normal maintenance and service you have with any RV we never had an issue. The doors opened, closed and latched. appliances worked as they should, cabinets still looked as good as the day we got it. The last unit before our...

Just be glad you didn't turn on the electric hot water heater without switching the bypass valve back to normal. No water in tank = fried heating $45 element. And I've been RV'ing for years!!!!! Sometimes stuff happens. 2 years ago, we were at a campground when the MH across from us got hung up...

The ones I've seen built by a MH manufacturer were hand built on premise by tech on a separate line. He all the wire spools on a big rack, connectors, looms, etc.. So basically all he had to do was pull the wires to the right length attach the connectors with pneumatic tools, put it all inside...

RV wiring issues are as follows. They do not have a custom made harness for each unit.....they are not cars or trucks. Cars and trucks wire harness's are made as a "one size fits all" so to speak. They all have weather pack connectors. Each model RV is almost hand wired like a S/B home. Bob...

Our BH will turn 3 this year and still looks better than this. However I doubt it has ever experienced the devastating effect of chemicals on the road either. Over the last few years the chemicals they've come up with to keep the roads open, have become even more toxic to anything metal. We ran...

While there are always "road hazards" along the way, I think this excuse is used a little to often for shoddy work or poor design

Dave, several years ago I was asked by a Japanese owned component vendor to a Japanese car plant here, to quote on shuttle services between plants. They made an interior frame part which once assembled would NEVER be seen again by anyone. Their finished parts were perfect with an immaculate...

Tony, I'm thinking of making some of my own, using thin acrylic and non skid shelf liner. Out of curiosity what the dimensions of yours (thickness, length, width)

That was quick. The DW is "vertically" challenged so hopefully this will solve the problem of her being able to open the bathroom vent

To cold to be outside so I spent a couple hours building my DW the "Fork Thingy" she wanted for the BH (that's what she called it) Anyone care to guess the purpose and be nice now.

Truth is the RV industry as a whole has failed badly in handling warranty issues. Yes they don't make the refrigerators, A/C, microwave, etc., etc., etc., but their designers spec them for the application. As such for their warranty term, they should have an obligation to replace them promptly...

Ok, I'm assuming that the two thermostat wires you touched, we're the ones at the furnace.? If so measure the voltage of the red power wire coming in from coach. It should read 12 volts MIN and nothing less. If it measures 12 volt or more, pull the red blower wire from the board and run a...

And another what could go wrong!!!!!

The answers depend partly on how long you plan to stay in the cold. If just passing through headed for warmer climates then the steps you take would be much less than those for an extended stay. We've stayed up to a week with overnight temperatures down to 13, and daytime temperature slightly...

Don, I've towed a lot of different trailers, with single rear wheel trucks, but never one as tall and long as our current 5th wheel. The stability factor with the dual wheels, is superior to what my mind remembers towing with the single wheel :cool:

John, after measuring carefully and determining I have a whopping 3/4" of an inch clearance you may be right.

See anything wrong with this picture????

Hey I resemble some of those!!!:o

Back and forth . . . . Back and forth . . . . In and out . . . . In and out . . . . A little to the right . . . . A little to the left . . . . She could feel the sweat on her forehead . . . . Between her breasts . . . . And, trickling down the small of her back . . . . She was getting...

A chicken farmer went to the local bar. He sat next to a woman and ordered champagne. The woman said: "How strange, I also just ordered a glass of champagne." "What a coincidence," said the farmer, who added: "It is a special day for me ... I'm celebrating. "It is a special day for me too...

Have a Reese Hitch (now called a Titan series). Now that they upgraded the rubber bushing wouldn't trade it for anything. We originally had more than enough length but I built in a closet, and might have miscalculated

The existing shed/cover next to my shop is only a few steps away from the house, so being in the garage is not absolute necessity. We had large doors put in when we built in anticipation of parking a larger truck, however I'm not sure that we calculated right on the length. Will need to take...

Ok I've got the fever to upgrade. Currently have a dually, but seriously looking at a single rear wheel, with a short bed in hopes of fitting it in the garage (dually currently resides in the shed). I'm really concerned about the stability of towing my fifth wheel, because right now, it's as...

Asian Beetle. More orange than red. They bite and emit a strong oder if crushed

By "batteries" I'm assuming you have more then one. A battery with a bad cell can cause this also. Have you had the batteries checked?

I think they're buying the cute little lady bugs, not these ugly critters, that bite and stink. They were supposedly introduced by the Feds in PA back in the 90's to counteract an aphid problem. Since then it is suspected they came in via the port of New Orleans in a shipment. With no predators...

Cash payout over 30 years.

Re: We are locked out of the bedroom! Unless they've changed the design, there is no lock on that door.

Unfortunately they hide in the fall and when we go south in January they come out every time the temperature warms up. Which is why I'd like to obliterated te little buggers.

The built in vacuum works, but you no sooner get rid of a few then there are mote to take their place. I'don't like to dispose of them permanently. Anyone used the pesticide foggers? I've got a residual spray that I'm going to use between the inner and outer sealspace on the slides when we get...

Anyone have a solution besides vacuuming for another irritating pest - the Asian Beetle? We have been fighting and ongoing battle with these things for over a year. We tried sprays, sticky traps, etc. Nothing seems to stop them. Every time the the temperature goes up, they come out.

Tried all thE soap shavings, peppermint oil, etc tricks and they still come. Best solution is to plug every hole you can find then go back and look for more. I keep Dcon bait traps under the trailer, and set traps inside.

I use 4 screws. I use distilled water in the batteries. A cheap turkey baster from the cut throat store makes the job a lot easier.

And sometimes you just have to ride it out. Back a few years ago we were in a MH in Marietta, GA when when the weather alert came on TV. According to radar there was a tornado tracking straight at us. There were tall pine trees all around us and the buildings in the park were all metal that...

First thing I'd do is check ALL the fuses, the Heartland employee that wired our coach, didn't pay any attention to the labels on the fuse block. I am assuming that the shop checked "all" functions on the board "including" the blower relay. If so, then pull the blower power lead off the board...

The Bridgestone link I posted earlier stresses using the proper inflation for the "load" to maintain the correct sidewall profile based on the load you put on the tire. While 110 psi may be the "max" psi cold, your actual inflation may be less. Most manufacturers publish a chart with the psi...
