That won't work. With the breakers in series, the 30 amp will trip when 30 amps flows through it and that opens the circuit. You might think that putting them in parallel than would work but you can't guarantee that 50 amps goes through the 50 amp breaker and 30 amps goes through the 30 amp...

We're staying at Val Vista Village in Mesa, AZ. It'll be our 5th year there

pitch black You should see a model label on the awning when you pull it down. It'll be toward the end of the tube.

I don't know. I've never experimented with it. The antenna is powered by the receiver. When you have an antenna that feeds two receivers vs an antenna that feeds four receivers, I know they have a different switch. So if you connect two receivers to an antenna without the proper switch I don't...

Another thing to consider is that the cube has one output. Since my wife and I watch different shows, I wired our Landmark so we use two receivers, one in the bedroom and one in the rear lounge. We use an antenna with two outputs.

medic9016 We have a Landmark so the studs are probably not the same. However,you can see where the studs are if you take a look along the outside wall especially in the morning when it's cool outside. You should be able to see the studs outline as you look along the side.

I have direct TV and have found that I can align the antenna by listening to the sound from the TV a lot faster than by using the signal finder. The signal finder has to be constantly adjusted as you align the antenna. Could use three or maybe four hands to do it all. I have one of those...

Jopa I had the water completely stop on the toilet in my Landmark. I found there is a screen in the entrance to the valve. You have to turn the water off, take the valve apart and open the water line to get to it. Mine was plugged with calcium. I dumped it out, put everything back together and...

I tried a tripod and found that it didn't do much. Another solution is to purchase a pair of scissor jacks. A lot of the bounce comes from your suspension so if you can get the weight off of the suspension you'll bounce less. When we're set up for a long period of time, I put the jacks behind...

vrugt I have a macerator pump. The problem was with the campground. They didn't want any more water in their septic system because the campground was flooded. After our tank was filled I went to the office and they let me dump. They just wanted to control how much water was going into the sytem.

I use a Swiffer and/or the air compressor, either sweep it off or blow it off.

We use a little domed charcoal grill and love it. I tried a small gas grill but didn't like it. I couldn't control the heat well enough to roast chicken or grill ribs. There seemed to be hotspots and coldspots across the surface. I don't grill the last night we're at a place so I can empty the...

Not sure what your question is. Your picture is of the drain plumbing with a 3-1/2 inch pitch.

Hi Jim We're not having any problem with the power. The boxes you saw are for the new sites they're building. Water is the problem. We can't dump anything into their septic system right now. They've got us dumping gray water on the ground and can't dump black at all. They've asked us to come to...

Jim It looks great. You'll enjoy the feeling of having a truck that is not imtimidated by anything you're towing.

Chopper Bill Don't use WD-40 on the slides. It leaves a residue that collects dirt. Use a dry silicon spray.

tdharley I had the same problem with the underbelly tape. I cleaned the area with alcohol and then heated the tape after applying it to ensure bonding occurred. It didn't. I don't know how long it lasted because I didn't check it. I had to get under the rig after about 6 months and found all of...

Since I am not able to attend the rally, can someone ask for any special techniques to us for the Monticello with three axles?

Heartland has to hold to the axle manufacturer's recommendations so you can't fault them. Al-Ko says not to jack on the axle. I went round and round with their engineer and couldn't get any where. I explained that with the Monticello, which has three axles, that I couldn't get a bottle jack to...

Another thing to look at for bracing is Unistrut. You can get it at Home Depot and it's a lot cheaper than steel angle. I used it to brace my gray tank. I ran it accross and bolted it to the frame on each side.

We have Direct TV and are using it as full timers and it's working great. We have two receivers, one in the bedroom and one in the rear living area. I connected the cable connection outside to the bedroom cable and use the sattelite connection for the rear living area. I started our service...

I've had two valves go bad already on my Monticello. The first one I called an RV Service. They came out and checked it and declared it to be the valve. After replacement water heater worked. About 9 months later, water heater stopped working again and fuses were blowing. This time I decided to...

landmarkbuilder Yes, I assume the same thing. It would be nice to have a wiring diagram to determine what's going on. The 10 amp fuse wasn't the problem. It worked for a while because there was no call for heat. As soon as the water cooled off and the heater called for heat, the fuse blew again...

Scott I've found the problem. The 10 amp fuse for the monitor panel/TV amplifier was blown. When I replaced it everything went back to normal. My water heater started heating with gas, the leak detector quit beeping. Not knowing how it's wired I can't guess what's wrong but there must be what is...

Scott Can you tell me how the propane leak detector is supposed to be wired? Mine appears to be wired through the Propane Water Heater switch. We found this out today when the alarm started going off. When I turned the Water heater switch off, the alarm quit. That just doesn't seem right to me...

The receiver’s Green LED will blink to alert the operator to the following: One blink with one second interval, frost control active. Two blinks with one second interval, DC voltage high (18VDC and over). Three blinks with one second interval, DC voltage low (9.75 VDC or lower). Blink ON for 1/2...

Hi Jim Sorry I haven't answered sooner. My computer crashed and I've been slowly rebuilding. On the propane, when it's cold like Holbrook, AZ was (12 degrees) I'm using a 40 lb tank in 4 to 5 days. We set the furnace at 60 degrees at night and augment with electric heater in the bedroom. So...

I don't know about staying warm. Last night here in Holbrook it got to 12 and tonight it's supposed to get to 14. So far the Landmark is doing OK. I fill our water tank, put the hoses and the water filter in the storage compartment and set the furnace at 60. So far we're surviving. I got...

Hi Jim We're in Holbrook, AZ at the moment. Touring the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert. We're on the way to Mesa, AZ for the winter. We left Lehman's on the 7th and took the trailer to Collier's for some work and then went to Princeton to see our daughter. Then it was off down to St...

Well, I finally got signed up. I had to use autofill to get my email in. Then to get the cursor in the field, I had to move it until it turned into the text cursor. This didn't happen at all places in my email address. After I got the cursor in, I was able to Shift-Tab to get into the name field.

John Were you able to sign up for the newsletter? I could not get my cursor to enter the fields so I could put my name and email address in. I tried both FireFox and Internet explorer. Neither worked.

Here's another site that gives gas prices. http://www.gasbuddy.com/ Look for the map showing the county's prices.

Boy, that's a tough one. I would say if you have a alignment shop near by it might be worth it to have them take a look at it. If not watch the wear on your tires and you should be able to see if there's any problem.

I thought that was the way mine would be. The cable goes into an aluminun cylinder and the other end of the cylinder is attached to the valve shaft. I couldn't see any set screw on the side toward me and I couldn't feel any set screw on the back side. That's why I decided to ask the group.

Tank Locations Cris provided a pdf file showing the locations of the tanks on the Monticello. I used it to try and find the valve for the Galley tank. The dimensions shown on the drawing appear to be correct but the outlocations, at least for the galley are not correct. According to the drawing...

My Grey water tank #1 (Galley tank) is not closing all the way. I've taken the plate off in the docking center and looked at the handle end and also opened the belly and looked at the valve end. They look OK, in fact I had the better half open and close it while I looked at the valve. Looks OK...

RV Today did a segment on tire pressures when they covered weighing your rig. They referred to the tire manufacturers load rating guide which describes the pressure to run for the weight you carry. You need to get your trailer weighed and adjust the tire pressure accordingly.

I would think either method 1 or 2 would work. The only thing Cris mentioned was not to lift on the flange, stay in the middle of the frame. If you watch any of the History Channel programs on moving things, they usually show blocking under the jack. It's probably more stable to have the blocks...
