I think Bill is referring to a slide in truck camper he may have, or has, found. Its quite a shock to see $3K to $4K for a set of jacks for a truck camper. Charles

Prepping for another trip, dunno where though. Gotta figure out why th a/c compressor won't kick on. It worked after I installed the Easy Start, but I have not used it since then. We've not been north of Linville Falls on the Blue Ridge Parkway, might be a good ride up into Virginia, and the...

Yes, not having your bake light working is bad, might end up with uncooked food ;>)

Depends on the brand. Atwood was acquired by Dometic and the Atwood jacks have gone away, they have a few parts left. Rieco-Titan is making conversion kits for them, HappiJac makes several different models. It all hinges on what brand you have now. Charles

The gauge like Don showed above does not work. It is merely a pressure gauge and will show if you have propane, or will go to empty when the pressure drops off. Totally useless. I'm gonna suggest the Flame King YSN230 cylinder as it has a magnetic driven gauge on the neck of it. these cylinders...

The older Sprinters were only 24 gallons, he is lucky to have 30 on the newer chassis. Charles

I've always wanted to visit the Maritimes but thats a whole trip unto itself. Charles

Clearly you know RV's well but I will mention that you need to look closely at weights on truck campers, as many are too much weight when loaded, for a 2500 series truck. I was considering them but I am limited to about 3000 lbs and you would be surprised how many truck campers will, when full...

A DEA police officer stops at a ranch in Texas, and talks with an old rancher. From the first second he had a bad attitude about him, annoyed he had to muddy his clean boots out in the country. He tells the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher says...

Some tire monitors detect motion, and if they have been sitting, will simply show the last pressure before they went to "sleep". If you have a monitor like that, simply move the trailer/vehicle a foot or so to wake up the system, then check the pressures. I only have a warning buzzer in the cab...

I check mine frequently. Charles

Look right at the battery for a 30 amp fuse in a weatherproof inline plastic holder. This video shows it going to a junction box of some sort, but many are straight off the battery positive post, found just outside the battery box. Charles

Well, my wheel bearing repack job is done and all bearings were OK. I left the front left wheel off as that shock was leaking, so new one on the way, and will have it on the ground next week. I switched grease this time. I have used Amsoil synthetic grease with molybdenum but they no longer make...

There are a large number of COE campgrounds on the Arkansas River in Arkansas. I will have to visit Arkansas and Oklahoma some day. There is the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum at North Little Rock, the CRATER OF DIAMONDS STATE PARK at Murfreesboro, AR, just to name a couple of places worth...

COE parks are open to anyone. I think Judy was reading your question and answering Kirk's statement about the passes. Charles
