I've got 3 weeks leave in July 2018 and our destination is Yellowstone/Grand Teton (from California).  My parents are in their 80's (-amazingly- fit), I'll be 7 months pregnant, and we'll have a 2 year old.  Oh, and a dog.  This will be our second multi-week trip in our 23' motorhome (we've...

I didn't realize that the electrics don't have the same bracing construction.  So... new question, can I make my manual less sucky to operate? My biggest complaints are: - unlocking/locking the tab using the little metal stick.  This never goes well.  Always stuck.  Often someone gets up a...

Thanks for the responses.  The key seems to be not holding the button down and waiting.  (Coincidentally "not waiting long enough" seems to be the root of most of my computer related issues too).  Understanding that I basically get one massive battery from all batteries in parallel helps a lot -...

EDIT - I realize I used the wrong terms for the batteries which made it extra confusing.  It was 2AM and there was no coffee.  Updated my post. On a recent trip I have managed to encounter all of these conditions and in none of them did the emergency start button on my dashboard do anything. -...
