Gang: I thought I would share this with all of the newer members of the forum who are running their air conditioners a lot in this hot weather. I have been in the same spot for 10 days, air conditioning running most of the day with outside high temperatures in the high 90's. Suddenly...

Gang: This problem seems so freaky to me, but also so dangerous, that I thought I had to post it. My disk brake system was installed in 2014 at Mor Ryde, I had one major frame repair in 2016(?) which involved work on the disk brake system. I just know that as a final step on that repair...

Gang: I had the door to my rig replaced years ago due to side damage, I used a reputable RV repairer and a Progressive insurance adjuster, so I think I have an OEM Lippert door, although I cannot find any markings on it. Anyways, my exterior access door has been getting harder and harder...

I just came across this on Yahoo News. NEW Generators, ATV's, chain saws, etc. banned. On edit: "The new rule will be implemented by January 2024, or as soon as regulators determine is "feasible"" . This may make existing small engine stuff (like generators) a LOT more valuable. Maybe we...

Gang: Well, after 12 years, I FINALLY upgraded from my old Dometic 200 series toilet to a Dometic 300 series, mainly for the improved ball valve seal that can be replaced/cleaned without disassembling the toilet. I was pretty dismayed when the install was complete to find that the 300 series...
