I just bought an adjustable water pressure regulator. What is the maximum safe water pressure? What is the ideal pressure. We have a small Jayco Class C.

We live in SW CO and tow a trailer with two ATVs. Had a 2018 22' Forester Class C on a Mercedes chassis. I hated it! If you plan on towing in the mountains, I would not recommend it. Just not enough power. If you are towing on flat highways at low altitude, it might be OK. We traded it in for a...

Has anyone driven this stretch of 1-17 recently? We drove this in our Jayco Class C in March of 2023. One of the most teeth-rattling, bone-jarring stretches of highway that I have ever driven. Pavement was so torn up and full of potholes that you couldn't go over 45 MPH. On our way home to...

Yes, usually get off at New River exit. So, from Flagstaff south it is nice, new, smooth pavement? No giant potholes and busted up pavement? Last year we came back across I-40 on the way back because I-17 was so bad. It was even worse! People pulled over changing tires and dozens of broken off...

Has anyone driven this stretch lately? We are thinking about doing a trip from Montrose, Colorado to Wickenburg. This last spring we made that trip and it was 120 miles of the most bone jarring, teeth rattling, stretch of potholes and busted up pavement that I have ever traveled. We have a small...

We took our Lance truck camper on a road trip from CO to the Oregon coast. The big advantage of the truck camper is that you can get it into almost any space. Coming and going on this trip there were nights where we might not have found a camping spot if we had a bigger rig or trailer and tow...

OK, so for some strange reason the radio decided to start working again. I replaced the chassis battery and the next day it started working. Don't know why changing the chassis battery would make any difference as I don't think the radio is connected to that circuit. Maybe it just took a week to...

I guess if you are sitting along a major Interstate highway near a major city, you might have a chance of getting help

OK, so recently is Monday 9/13. Not Labor Day weekend and yes I belong to AAA Colorado, my local chapter. The bottom line is between AAA and Progessive Insurance they kept in touch and were very good at calling me back. But no help arrived. So I was forced to do a self rescue.

We recently camped at Miramonte Reservoir in SW Colorado. It is 17 miles from the nearest town. After we got set up, I noticed that the left rear outside tire was flat. This is a small 24' Class C. I didn't have a three ton jack and an impact wrench to change the tire. Plus, being an old geezer...

If it is a small finger line I wouldn't worry about it. In the commercial roofing business, the general rule of thumb was if the loose area was larger than one square foot, it needed to be cut and patched.

I agree with Gary that if it is stuck tight, don't try to pull it off. In the commercial roofing business we generally used acetone for cleaning TPO and PVC membranes and white gas (Coleman lantern fuel) for EPDM. I like urethane caulking such as NP1. I believe that Home Depot also sells a...

I agree with Gary. A large bubble is a concern as wind can continue to further delaminate the membrane. It is possible that air infiltration from the A/C unit can put pressure under the membrane but not likely. I stand by my original recommendation to slice open the membrane and re-adhere with a...

Regarding the issue of possible inverter damage by disconnecting the negative cable first, does that apply to the chassis battery, too? When changing the chassis battery, would it be a good idea to turn off the main power switch for the house system? I have a Mercedes Sprinter chassis and the...

Bubbles under membrane roofs are usually caused by moisture under the membrane which turns to vapor and expands, causing the bubble. A large area of loose membrane is susceptible to wind damage (such as going down the road at 65 mph) which could cause the entire roof membrane to delaminate from...
