Purchase a second power cable for the IC 7000, disconnect and take it in the house. Russ-WB3FQI

It has been my experience that filling the black tank up does not clean it out any better.  When I have filled the black tank the clean water comes out and the stuff at the bottom comes out when you are near empty.  therefore I don't fill it anymore.  We use plenty of water when we flush the...

HI, We went to Goshen about 3 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  We would have taken in others since then but they conflicted with other activities.  We are currently in Monterey Calif and looking at the calendar to see if we can make it to this years rally in Goshen.  Not sure if we...

We have a small Geogre forman and cook hamburgs, steak, pork chops, and chicken We also have a small crockpot and it is great to come in after a day of sightseeing and have supper ready. You can do a pork or beef roast, hot dogs, meatballs. Frozen pot pies are nice, frozen lazagne.  Canned...

Next to my hose connection is a lever, city water, fill tank.  My motor will run in the fill tank mode but you barely get a dribble.  Mine has to be in the city water mode for the pump to pump water from the holding tank. This may not apply to your unit.  However, work your lever back and forth...

I have a Ham antenna to my rear ladder.  It requires running a long run of cable but it would work.  another possiblity is a mag mount on the dash or behind the seat on the heater air vent.  The CB is low power and I doubt the amount of use and the RF would do any harm. I see them mounted on...

Sorry to hear about the damage. We had the same problem and it ruined the A/c's.  If you have roof A/c Give a good look at them. We were fortunate to be able to put the Mh inside before the cabinets got wet. Hope it works out for you. Russ

I've read most of the rubber hoses need replacing at ten years.  Also applainces start acting up around ten years.  The ten year mark has not been the case for us so far.  If your looking at a gas model you can probably do the oil, antifreeze, belts and filters yourself and save a good bit of...

I'm running a 1998 Winnebago 275 Diesel, 36 foot.  I purchased it new in 2000 with 2200 miles on (mostly from the factory to dealer).  I just turned 88000.  Other than normal maintance we have not had any major problems.  I would prefer to buy a Mh with some miles on it as I believe the...

After I dump I put several gallons of water in the black tank and it doesn't hurt to put some in the gray tank. The water keeps things from harding and becoming a problem, the sloshing around helps clean the sensors off so they claim.  However, water in the tanks after dumping is a good thing...

If you decide to take in Hershey, HD and others in the area you can also see Gettysburg.  There is ample parking at the new Gettysburg visitor center.  Not to far from the visitor center is a minature horse farm that your son would enjoy, it is just off RT 30 West of Gettysburg.  From Gettysburg...

It will be hot either way in July.  Hopefully your Ford has a transmission cooler. I don't see a problem with either route.  I don't recall problems with Flagstaff.  The Interstate grades are usually not as bad as the non interstate.  Don't try to maintain the speed limit up hill and save your...

I've seen them advertised at rallies.  I understand most fires in MH's are from the engine. I'd check with the manufacturers and ask about your unit's installation. Russ - WB3FQI/KL7

I have found when my breaker tripped that I did not reset it properly.  They need to click off then back on and I was doing it incorrectly. I suggest changing the fuse on the genset or check the continuity.  sometimes they don't look bad but are in fact shot. There is a transfer switch for the...
