    checking on pets left in trailer alone

    Does anyone have a way to monitor the temperature or how the pets are acting when left alone. My concern is electricity failure and it getting too hot for them.

    Fantastic fan constantly opening and closing

    Sometimes it does not open immediately but you can hear the motor trying. It will stop and start up again. If and when it opens it will still move between open and close positions but not closing all the way. We lubricated the seal and it is still acting the same. It is about 5 years old.

    Surge protector may have gone out

    We went out to check it today, but first we bought the new surge protector and when we connected it to the post it read "reverse polarity" and "ground fault". We ended up moving the trailer to a spot with good power. It looks like my first surge protector was doing it's job. However we like...

    Surge protector may have gone out

    Can the RV store test the sp to see if it is bad? We didn't test the pedestal but a worker at the park did. It is a highly rated park. Unfortunately all this happened after 7 tonight. I guess tomorrow we will have to get over there and look into it further.

    Surge protector may have gone out

    While getting set up on Saturday the power went off and we waited a long time and the surge protector finally reset, longer than it should take. So today DS gets back to the trailer and power is totally off again and hadn't reset. He had someone from the park look at it and after testing the...

    No hot water?

    toilet drains out.

    Thanks Chuck for your write up, it was instrumental in getting our toilet put back together. Our flush ball was stuck open so we pulled it all apart per your directions and cleaned it up and now it is working great. No parts needed.

    Stove top cover storage

    On the stove we have the metal folding cover. We have the two pieces for the sink that we store on top of the stove when we are not using. Sometimes when there are four of us in there we cover one sink for more space. We are not rolling in counter space in our bighorn.

    Why the heavy chairs?

    We replaced the sofa sleeper with a love seat wall hugger with recliners. We replaced the chairs with some Euro style. Love the new set up.

    help!

    We tend to do sandwiches or if I had time to prepare something to leave in the fridge. Many times before I leave home (not fulltiming yet) I will make a big batch of chili mac or bean soup and freeze ahead of time. While on the road it is thawing in the fridge.

    We are looking to head out on Christmas Break and find a nice place to see the stars. Looking for any good ideas of places that will be dark enough. We are so lit up in the city, someone suggested Pedernales Falls.

    Should I get a topper for my slide out?

    I am happy our dealer called and 'really' recommended them to us. At that time we decided to add them and I am glad we did. I will start pulling in the slides to dump them after the hard rains, thanks for the tips.

    2psnapod1, we only live about 45 minutes from there. We are just not all that familiar with quality of campgrounds around here since we live here but were hoping to find something nice and close to get away sometimes. It is just different than being home where things need to be done. We are...

    New Orleans Campgrounds

    We are looking to go to New Orleans this summer and wondering if anyone has stayed at French Quarter RV resort or at Ponchartrain Landing. Both look real nice online.

    2nd a/c freezing up

    After reading lots today, we took off the cover and realized the cold air tube was loose and we were losing our could air back in with the return air. That is now fixed and is staying on. It does need some cleaning so maybe in the morning we will go up top and see what we can do with both a/c's.

    2nd a/c freezing up

    We have a dometic a/c unit installed in the bedroom and it tends to freeze up and shut off or not blow hard, if we catch it before it cuts off. We actually had chunks of ice fall out the other day, usually it just drips periodically. This a/c only has dials for blower settings and how cold. It...

    Water Leak from Shower Skylight

    We recently noticed our skylight was leaking and when we could went up to check it out and noticed several cracks. For now we have used caulk and other sealant to better waterproof it. I was told by someone that they do not last very long and we should plan on replacing every year.

    Safety Inspections... Fellow Texans

    Never heard of this until now. You learn something new everyday. I guess maybe it is time to get the rig inspected. And to share what we have learned. Thanks for sharing.
