    engine compartment door latch keys ( barrel style )

    I bought one from a local locksmith for less than $5.00 It should not be very hard to find one.

    New Dimensions 2000w Inverter Problem

    I would not get a upgraded Dimensions Inverter.  Back in 2008, our Dementions Inverter fried our nice (to us at the time) Sony TV, and as John did, replaced it with the Xantrex 2000 inverter/charger.  It has not given us a moment's concern in the intervening 6 years of operation.  Only if you...

    What's that doohickey called....?

    I suggest you investigate that privacy curtains for rvs in McKinney, Texas and get some really nice curtains.  We like ours. Wendell PS: and they have a plethora of styles available.

    Now that Flying J is disappearing, where can one get both diesel and propane?

    Many thanks to all who have responded.  I remember when our first fill up with diesel was $1.419 per gallon in October 2003 in Indiana.  There have been many changes since then, both procedural and personal.  Time passes.  We want to continue enjoying the lifestyle, but we see little changes as...

    How Others See Us

    The other day my wife of 56 years and I entered a Jeep dealership.  The sales manager referred to us as a "cute couple", probably because we were holding hands to support each other in our walking.  He was probably thinking affectionate (true, but not the primary reason) It worked.  We now have...

    It does cost a bit...  Does it locate RV approachable propane? The description included is sketchy. Wendell

    Now that Flying J is disappearing, where can one get both diesel and propane?

    But, back to my original question:  Where may one obtain PROPANE along with Diesel.  I do believe I could get into a regular automotive filling station (one of the larger ones) for diesel fuel, but do feel the need for propane from time to time.  Propane at campgrounds can be more expensive...

    Now that Flying J is disappearing, where can one get both diesel and propane?

    As to FJs are closing, the FJ at Walton, KY is now a Pilot without propane being sold.  Also over the past year Walton FJ had been repainting parking slots for rvs.  I asked the attendant, they pointed to a remote location on the lot where one could park rvs. It was a normal setup for autos, not...

    Now that Flying J is disappearing, where can one get both diesel and propane?

    The Header says it all.  Any Ideas? Today I stopped at a FJ for Diesel; my Visa card was allowed for $75 twice, after that I had to go inside (it is difficult for me to walk) and sign for more diesel.  Upon returning to the pump, I was allowed to pump another $75; after which I was told that...

    Installation of Roadmaster Brakemaster Towed Car Braking System in a Freightline

    Thanks, gentlemen. I did not keep the compressor from the Southwind when I traded it in for this Journey.  Didn't think I would have a need for a second air supply.  Now I am on my second Brake Buddy (got the red one this time) and will probably keep using that unit.  My new JGCL has a...

    Installation of Roadmaster Brakemaster Towed Car Braking System in a Freightline

    I have a new toad; I would like to use a Brakemaster Air over Hydraulic braking system instead of a Brake Buddy system with it; but the manual for our Journey indicates that using such a system will invalidate the warranty, and probably be dangerous and prevent the towing vehicle's brakes to...

    Can the front air bags be dumped independent from rear air bag?

    Thanks, all. I can see that it would be quite prohibitive to install the extra air bags and/or controls for separate air bags. I had also considered planks; wide and thick, with ropes to pull them out of the way.  I often wonder if I were to remove the steel wheel roller on the hitch if that...

    Can the front air bags be dumped independent from rear air bag?

    My motorhome's rear end scrapes the street when exiting our driveway.  A couple of inches would help, and perhaps prevent our hanging up when we exit our driveway.  We do have a steel wheel, but it leaves a track mark on the street.  The DPW recently renewed our street's pavement and I would...

    Leaky slide hydraulics

    I don't know if I mentioned on this forum before or not, but our 2004 Journey sprung a hydraulic leak in the rear slide last summer.  It sufficiently soaked our coiled AC cable, to the point that I cleaned it up, then replaced it in the compartment below the closet slide in the bay there after...

    ?Imitation? Sleep Number Bed ? Hate It

    We love our sleep number matrices (matrasses); have had one for over 15  years, the other only 8 years.  Neither leak, hump up and are easily moveable.  We have the conventional matrass (matrix) in our Journey; never has it deflated, shifted, nor bitten us back.  Simpler is usually better. (take...
