    Time to visit Yellowstone?

    You must see Wade Lake and Cliff Lake near West Yellowstone. There is a state campground on Wade Lake near the logde. You can go to their web site to see what I mean .. Wade Lake Cabins. It is a bit out of the way. Have been there twice and must go back again.

    Weight and Balance

    I do have a wt distribution hitch. Will reweigh ASAP. Think the tanks were empty when I did the last run thru the scales. Stay tuned for the next sequel. Thanks

    Weight and Balance

    The Cat Scale does not weigh each of the two axles separately so the two axles on the trailer total 6460. It does ride level with the stabalization bars. Something must be wrong because I do not have it packed to the gills at all. I think I need to re-weight at the Scales hitched up. For $9 it...

    Weight and Balance

    Know that this has been covered but need help making sense of these numbers (the truck was weighed alone and then the whole rig was weighed) : Cat Scale: Truck alone, Steer Axle: 3900 Lbs., Drive Axle: 3340 Lbs.,Total: 7240 Lbs Hooked up: Steer Axle: 4040 Lbs., Drive Axle: 5020 Lbs...

    Converter not converting

    I had similar problems. It turned out that neither the input or output wires of the converter were not tightened at the terminals. One of them burned at the terminal and would no longer conduct anything. Cut about an inch of bad copper and re attached. All has been fine. Was a factory oversight...

    Furnace running non-stop

    Don't know what the problem is but am posting before the tech people solve the problem. Had the trailer (de-winterized) in the yard with the furnace set to come on at 58 because we had a few cold nights. Have a shore power connection but had it disconnected to avoid...

    Escapees

    If you join and go to one of their parks get ready ... all kind of strangers will insist on ringing a bell and calling others out to hug you. The first time I thought I was in some kind of commune with the hug from 5'3" elderly women (I'm 6'2") the secret membership ritual. I paniced and my wife...

    Satalite Radio

    Got and installed an XM radio. It is absolutely great. Got help installing so the total cost was about $100. Was totally remote this past weekend and had my favorite music on the whole time. Got it thru the recommended site mentioned above ... xmradio.com. This site is amazing. Thanks for the help.

    As Yoda would say, "pricy that". Does anyone know an inexpensive source for a signal booster for my Verizon signal?

    Internet a must

    Don't know where to post this but I am sure someone will move it to the correct area. For business reasons I need to be able to get to the internet where ever I park the house. Verizon works well when I have a cell I can reach and wifi also is good when available. I do know I will then...

    Poll: Overall Dealership Experience

    REVISION ON Rocky Mt. RV and Marine in Albuquerque ... Change from a 4 to a 3. The sales portion of my transaction was good (Jim Henderson, the salesman was great). Subsequent service has been poor. The major thing was an improperly replaced brake controller that was never tested after...

    On Board Pump

    I have the same problem. I think it is mounted against the frame for the counter top. The problem for me is that it is too difficult for this 65 year old, 6'2" body to get to it. Probably will have to get it fixed at the dealer. Regards

    Satalite Radio

    Want the ability to receive satalite radio. Don't want to talk with a dealer because I am not sure the info will be honest. What equipment do I need? What system is highly recommended (have no interest in the likes of Howard Stern but would like to listen to Rush when I want) ? Any input?

    Strange Occurance

    I recently had variable power problems. Tech removed the cover of the converter. Turned out the terminals were loose on the converter input and output. Finally one of them carmelized to the point that there was no conductivity. Problems solved. This is a brand new trailer so it is obvious that...

    Help! - Front jacks quit working.

    This is getting better still. We now have a catalog of the interstellar selection of fuses ... and the rig is still blocking the neighborhood, as far as I can tell. This ranks right up there with the crab and the black water tank story. Please continue.

    Help! - Front jacks quit working.

    Just finished reading this post from the beginning. Felt like an RVers version of 24! The part about the arm in a cast was the best. Could not make this stuff up.

    Tires

    Through this forum I was advised to put metal valves stems on my tires if I was going to use pressure sensors. Did that. While there I noticed that they were putting 65psi in the trailer tires vs the 55psi that my dealer put in them. Their comment, "dealers don't sell tires". While there I was...

    Dead converter?

    I was the guy who posted the comments about the loose terminal connections. When one removes the cover one can see the input and output wire connections. The random nature of your problem seem to be like what I experienced. The tech simply flipped the breaker, cut and removed the bad end of the...

    Has anyone replaced the manual jacks with electric ones on these trailers? I am happy with the electric one I put on the tongue.

    Thanks for your kind words. Every aircraft has what is called a 481 manual which is a history of maintenance on the aircraft. It is often a long list of ongoing problems but none of them are "safety of flight" issues. These two problems I wrote about ARE safety of flight (drive) items and that...

    Brake Controller

    I want to give a shout out to Al at Johnny Walker RV in Las Vegas for taking me in immediately. His people had it fixied in less than half an hour. If you need anything worked on in Las Vegas this is the guy to see.

    I am angry. I have owned this trailer for slightly over a month. We are in the first week of a three week trip. Last night I noticed that the battery level was decreasing even thought I knew we were connected to shore power. This morning it was in the red zone. I checked the battery...

    Brake Controller

    Thanks for your imput. Had it checked out today. It was wired wrong so that the brake pedal application did nothing with the trailer. The slide application was wired correctly. I am not happy wiith the maintenance people that put it in. Drove over 700 miles and some 7% grades like that ...I am...

    Brake Controller

    This is first trip I have made with a new Prodegy Brake Controller. Everything seemed to be normal until yesterday. For some reason the reading would range between what I think is normal (0.0) and .3, .4 all the way to 1.4 with no application of the brakes. When we stopped for the night I could...

    What the manual doesn't tell you...

    Here is another "what the manual ....". The battery(s) needs to be checked for the level of acid. I checked yesterday after having the trailer for only 3 weeks (a 5 day trip included). Wound up adding about a Qt. of distilled water, total, to the two batteries. A suprise.

    Downsizing, etc.

    Need some advice: 1. We are downsizing on the way to retiring. Our idea is to move into a rented appartment or condo in the area here while we travel in the trailer to find the area we want to retire to (probably the Carson City, Reno area of NV). We have a house full of life long accumulation...

    Wireless Tire Presure/Temperature Monitors

    This is the second rig I have had tire monitors on. Here is why I am a believer. On an early trip with the other rig I was taking a walk with the dog in a camp site. While passing the entrance a new arrival drove in to register. I saw that his rear passanger tire on the trailer was totally...

    Still another plumbing question

    After reading about this subject over and over again I got a product called "Flush-King". It works great and allows one to back flush the tanks and see when the flow is clear. I think it is a great investment. Good luck
