    Doggie door

    Going through the door and falling down onto the steps could possibly injure the dog. If you’re on your own property why don’t you make a little platform (porch) that’s the same height as the bottom of the indoor bottom step. The dog could walk comfortably and confidently outside and then go...

    Correct Hughes Autoformer?

    Thank you Kirk & John. Also, I recently cut the shoreline near the entry point and put a male plug on it. I put a female on the shoreline. This provides 1. not having to wrap up the whole cord for just a quick trip to the dump station and 2. Now the autoformer can be in the shoreline compartment.

    Correct Hughes Autoformer?

    Do you have to carry two Hughes Autoformers, one 30 amp and one 50 amp to match whatever your site provides? My coach is wired for 50 amp.

    Mystery switch!

    If it's a Step Switch, in one position when you close the door, the steps retract (road position). In the other position, the steps stay out (park position). May or may not, also control step lights. Also, if the switch is in park position, there is a safety over-ride that retracts the step if...

    Do my sofas look bad?

    I recently had to replace my refrigerator. When they pulled out the side window in order to make the exchange, I had them pull the sofa bed out and we threw in a recliner. Now I am much more comfortable.

    Where do you hand wash your RV?

    I have a selector valve. I pump freshwater to the white hose with a nozzle on it. I then fill a bucket with gray water and wash one side of the motorhome with a car wash brush. And then rinse that area off with fresh water. Then I do the other side the same way. And then the front and back. This...

    Stackables

    We have a Splendeaid. Wife would like stackables. My question is: will the washer hold more clothes or are you merely gaining the ability to run both simultaneously with no increase of washer capacity?

    Onan Quiet Diesel inappropriate shut down issue

    The fuel pump was in spec but, at the lower end. I went ahead and replaced it. Reading comments elsewhere on the web; I also had the 20 year old fuel line replaced back as close to the tank as possible with out dropping the tank. Just got back from 2 months on the road with no occurrences of...

    I thought the fire truck was also gas and possibly one police vehicle.

    Onan Quiet Diesel inappropriate shut down issue

    For 4 years my Onan generator shuts down occasionally. It is now more frequent. I currently have about 5600 hours on a 2000 generator. It runs like a champ, frequently up to 24 hours without a glitch. It seems to shut down when certain bumps are noticed and also occasionally when starting the...

    Noisy Air Conditioner

    RE: Noise. I had a unit that was noisy. The next time in to my RV guy I mentioned it. Thought I may need a new one so we could get some sleep. He found a defective component, possibly a start capacitor that was causing the unit to be noisy. Now we sleep better.

    Which Winterizing Method Do You Use

    The last three motorhomes I never winterized (35 year period). We use it in the off months and there is nothing worse than going without water the first 2 days (we dry camp [overnight park]). I have a little disc heater next to the fresh water tank and set the furnace to 40?. If the temperature...

    driveshaft disconnects (or 4x4)?

    I Had one on installed 2 years ago. Can't remember the brand. Only two issues. When engaging or disengaging you must push the vehicle several inches backwards and forward. At 73, that will be a future issue. Also, get underneath and lube it often. In the spring I had issues until I realized the...

    LP vs. Diesel

    Availability! LP requires you to find a purchase location. Some refill stations are difficult to access with a toad. Diesel is everywhere. You can even bring it back to a boondock site in a can. I vote Diesel.
