gmsboss1 My Discovery outside receptacle is controlled by the GFCI that is on the bathroom wall and used for a shaving/hair dryer outlet.  Check and see if you have one there and it's tripped.  There is no light on it just the red pop out tripped button and black reset button.

Not all Onan generators require AC to be present to continue running.  Mine ran fine but wasn't producing any AC, even internally, until the regulator was changed.  Onan Marquis 6500 LP

larbailey I did the same thing with my 25 foot main awning and ended up with about a foot and a half bend.  I got it closed and then when home I set it out so the bend was horizontal and convex to the coach and backed my Jeep Liberty into it with a bunch of blankets cushioning it until it was...

dm914 If it only occurs when you are filling the main tank and it's above the level of the tank then you have a hole in your non pressurized filling hose.  There is also a vent line from the second tank that goes up parallel to the fill line that might also have a problem.

The proper dual foot air chuck for these wheels is not the one shown.  It should be a 180 degree dual foot. 

I just polished my '98 Discovery headlights with headlight defogger and they came up just fine.  I also have put in HID's and they were the answer for the lack of light from the Ford headlights.  Had to install a relay set to make them work properly as my coach has DRL's on low beam so there is...

Bob I never said that any Toad will not increase stopping distance.  I said that you don't understand physics with the statement you made.  The coach when it is under GVWR, even with a Toad, still has enough braking power according to the manufacturer.  By your inference all coaches should have...

Bob But what if you are going down a 7% grade - and you failed to tie that extra weight down -- and have need for an emergency stop. If not tied down, the toad inside would ignore the rig braking and continue down the hill. If nothing stopped it, it would go crashing through the front window...

topdownman As I said I am under my GVRW with the dinghy in tow so how would a lawyer have field day with that.  If I were carrying the same weight inside my coach would you still make the same statement.

Jeff My dinghy weighs less than 15% of my coach and the brakes and tires on it are designed for a lot more than I am loaded to so I am not worried about stopping.  Others with lower GVWR and heavier dinghys should consider them for sure.

Any of the front wheel drive GM's cars can be towed.  Either automatic or standard by putting the transmission in neutral, the key in steering wheel unlock(off position) and pulling the IGN sensor fuse.  Contrary to popular belief you don't need aux. brakes on a motor vehicle being flat towed...

Gary RV Roamer Will have to wait until I am near my coach and check it for a model number.  I looked for that number in the website posted by path but nothing starts in HG. Thanks

Ned I know how all my systems function.  I diagnose problems with coaches for an RV dealer when they run into problems as I am an retired electronics technician.  If you are happy with it working the way yours does then fine by me.

Maagk If you don't hear the click of the spark generator it is usally caused by the control module getting "cold soaked".  Either replace it or take it off and bake it in an oven at 150 degrees for an hour and retry it. 

Ned If you have to shut off your engine and dump your air bag to level your coach what happens when after you have done all that and have your coach set up just perfectly on the jacks you restart your engine, as you are supposed to with a diesel every two weeks, while you are camped for say 3...
