Sorry to be the one spoiler in the crowd, but at one of the rallies, we had a representative of Carefree there to talk about, along with other things, awning operation and care. He had some warning about staking awnings down, and had photos, of awning tracks being ripped away from the RV side...

FWIW, we had a leak around one of our small bedroom windows in the slide out that I could not find. There was caulking around the window, but only about halfway down each side and across the top. I knew that they left the bottom open for possible condensation drainage so was hesitant about...

I had a similar problem with my 08 F450...couldn't seem to find reason for intermittent "trailer disconnected" message. Then, during routine service, tech noticed my "cyclops" stop light, (the extra one on back of cab) was out and he couldn't find wiring problem. When I related trailer wiring...

I second the advice on making the cord straight on retraction to reduce the drag. I also "fold" the cord back towards the rig so the reel only has to pull 1/2 the weight of the cord, further reducing drag.

Jerry, my DW showed me your first photo and I was equally shocked. However, on closer inspection, IMHO, I think the slide was intentionally rremoved for some reason. If you look closely, there is no damage to the slide where it contacts the ground on the lower corner closest to the...

I have been using a Condor wheel chock for the last 7 years, we are full timers, without any problems, The "trailer" model is easily removable. It is nice to be able to ride the bike into the chock and then get off with the bike remaining standing on its own (as long as the floor is fairly level.)

Virgil, ours does the same thing occasionally. I believe it is a function of the A/C's "brain," used for energy conservation? Usually happens on very hot days when A/C is running for longer period of times. When temp at thermostat nears set point, within a degree or two, the A/C senses the...

Sorry if this is totally off the mark but with my "old eyes" I can't make out much detail on the pipe itself. Is this pipe ABS or metal? Since it seems to go out past the rig, could it be an exhaust pipe for a generator that is/was installed? I don't remember seeing any type fluid drain...

Glad you found it and, FYI, both my TV’s, LR and BR, have a strap near the edges of the screen that are used to snug them down while traveling. Maybe newer models are stouter and don’t need the extra support

Not sure of yours but, my small wall mounted TV in our bedroom has 3 “straps. Two of them are for travel and one, when pulled, releases the tv. I know there are many variations on the mounts so, good luck.

I agree with that assumption. IMHO, something struck that area. While I don’t have any experience with cracks in my unit, from those who have had problems with cracks and posted them on this forum, structural cracks seem to originate from a joint or opening in the RV. This looks dented and...

Any big box store, Lowes, H.D., etc., should have replacement blades. You may not be able to get an exact match so you may have to buy all new. Be sure to measure how long yours are.

Before I did any “adjusting” on the slide, I would check behind the fascia to make sure nothing had fallen down there to block slide from going all the way out or, for something like a screw hadn’t vibrated out to block it. On second thought, check on top of slide behind fascia also. I once...

Have you tried tightening the hose connections at the top of the jack? I know you said you thought it was from “the lower seal”but, when I developed a leak, a quarter turn on the connectors stopped the leaking. Worth a shot,and cheap fix if that is the problem.

We winter on our daughter’s property in coastal Mississippi, where we have our own 50A power supply. Since the weather is pretty mild, we tend to use space heaters most of the time and only occasionally fire up the furnace. We run the Fireplace, 1500 watt, and a 1500 watt space heater in the...

Sorry Mike, I can’t answer your question because yours may be different than mine. My gears, all 4 of them, were 15 tooth but yours may be different. I can say that all my gears were the same, so if you can see one of them clearly enough to count, the other should be the same. The other...

Check fuses on converter

Thanks for the info. I’m always learning about new stuff reading this forum, which is made better because of people like you sharing the knowledge.

Jim, I have found that the ambient air temperature seems to affect my awning. Seems like, at times, something makes the fabric tighten up and then it rolls up somewhat slower. IIRC, it is slower the farther out it is, and increases speed as it gets closer to the rig.

Relief valve may leak/?hiss if you have lost the air bubble (air cushion) in your hot water tank. Check in the tools section for ways to fix this.

I do this also, read stories about roadside assistance taking hours longer to repair waiting for the service tech to go and find the correct parts to do the repair.

Or, an 18 volt (or higher) impact driver and a good torque wrench

There is a branch office/warehouse of Tredit Tire in Fort Worth that may have the wheel in stock.

Hooked to Cable connection in UDC, try turn antenna booster on and off to see if one or the other passes the signal. I have a large outside house type antenna mounted on a pole outside our rig at our winter location and connect at the cable port in the UDC. I can’t remember which way I have to...

2Paws, you are correct to run your Genny every month or so and, when doing so, you want to place some load on the Genny to “exercise” it. However, IMHO, if you have the option, I would recommend unhooking from shore power before you apply generator power to the coach. At the very least, turn...

When we first bought ours, one of the bed platform plug ins did not work. Ended up taking mattress off, removed OSB that forms mattress platform and found junction box in that space. Durning manufacturing process, they tied 3 hot wires, three neutral wires and 3 ground wires together using...

Marty, no I did not trace the wire. I believe the wire that comes from the rear sensor goes to the box in the front compartment with the front sensor. That is where the power from the coach is tied in to the Level Up system along with several other connections. The rear sensor is probably one...

Bill, Physician’s, including VA/Mil, now have a Federal number that ID’s them and allows their Rx’s in all states. They need state licensure to practice medicine in those states. As a military nurse, I, like the other military health professionals, are exempt from the state licensure...

Just my 2c’s worth on this subject. While I was going through my treatment, I carried a Physician’s order for the lab work I needed frequenly and never had a problem. I do have Medicare and TriCare For Life so billing wasn’t an issue. After the intense treatment was done, all I needed was to...

Marty, could be a bad sensor, or it could be just a bad connection. I would check connections before I bought new sensor. JMHO. Lou

Dan, I only see your comment on this thread, not the OP’s???? Should be visible now. The OP edited the post after it was approved, which put it back into the 'moderated' status.

Good suggestion, thanks for sharing. If the connecting cord/rope is long enough, you can lay it over the hub to keep it out of the dirt and wet so it is dry and clean when you pull them out.

Jim, et al, the only difference I have noticed is that when I open a thread, from the list of threads page, and return to the list of threads page, I am taken to the top of the page instead of at the level I opened the thread from. (Hope that makes sense). This is not an ‘issue’ only a mild...

Anything smaller than an F450 :cool: Sorry John, I just couldn’t resist that one

John, don’t know about your Ground Control but my hydraulic sydstem works best when I use the manual control to raise the front of the rig up to disconnect and leave it in that nose high position when I begin the automatic leveling process.

Billy, I am having the blistering on the roof also. Did you just send an email to Dicor and what proof, if any, did they require?

You are very welcome Keith. I certainly get more out of belonging to this forum than I am able to give back. I live to serve.:)

I have found a rack with fairly short legs, a baking stone, and rotation help me get pretty good results. I place the stone (Pampered Chef) on the rack and then begin pre-heating. I don’t put my food in the oven as soon as it reaches the designated temperature, I continue heating just the...

As Lyle stated, both have barrel connectors but wanted to say thanks to Lyle for the explanation on why they are there. Hope this solves your problem when you get to it Keith.
