    Towing Speed in Cold Weather

    First of all let me say I always tow at 100 KMH or less and have a Tire Pressure Monitor System. My question is, if I were to travel South from cold Alberta in the winter can I bump up my speed safely in the cold weather with cold highways until I encounter warmer weather. I assume the tire...

    Fridge Alarm When Slides Extended & Retracted

    On our last trip, whenever weextended or retracted our slides our fridge would alarm. Has anybody run into this? My thinking is, my batteries are not up to snuff and there is a drop in voltage to the fridge. Everything still works OK but obviously something is not quite right. Doug
