    Salvage Titled MH

    water damge in the walls will likely need new support members. as far as a salvage title, I would suspect it would have to be a total loss. JMHO

    Just weighed the MH

    If you are concerned about PSI changes, try having nitrogen put in all tires. Works for me.

    Is this Bounder Mine, the Dealer's, or Fleetwood's????!@!

    Sounds like you need another dealer. They break more than they fix. I agree 100% calling directly to Fleetwood would make things happen quicker. Or at the very least, you know they are aware of your situation.

    Tires again

    I was informed today by an Rv'er that one can expect MH Class A tires to last 5 years. Trailer tires 2 1/2 years. Anything after that they will be more likely to blow. He knows from past experience. I trust his judgement, he has been Rving for many years. Something to really consider...

    What is needed to tow a toad?

    Thanks for the reply Gary. That is way more than I want to spend just to bring a car along. I would do better just towing an enclosed trailer and bringing my motorcycle along. Thanks again!

    Hot converter

    I too would suspect the starter batteries. They are designed to produce a higher output for starting and have fewer plates than a deep cycle battery. I would start with changing out the starter batteries with 2 new deep cycle batteries. They will still produce the power that you need and are a...

    Black water tanks?

    Do you need to re-fill to 1/2 to 2/3 full? What is the purpose of adding ice cubes? Thanks for the quick replies to my 1st ?

    Water tank, gray water tank and black water tank

    My question is this: when I am hooked to an external outside water faucet where does the water go? Into my drinking water tank or straight thru to the fixtures? Same for the gray and black water tanks. Do I fill the black water tank half full and then use? Does the gray water tank fill by using...

    Driver's Door Poll

    I have a driver's side door and love the ease of getting in/out. What I do find that could be better is to have a wider step so I could climb up the steps sideways. Like a step that would fit my foot. Other than that, I like mine.
