    HWH 625 Leveling System on Allegro Bus 2001 will dump air, but not extend jacks

    Call HWH. I have not talked with them in 2-3 years, but their tech department was really helpful when I called.

    Any way to defeat wind sensor in awning when deployed.

    My unit has a switch where the wind sensor can be disabled. Mine is located in forward basement unit. I usually leave mine off since I don?t leave without bringing the awning in.

    Best route from NE Georgia mountains to Chattanooga

    Since I have a daughter who lives in the Knoxville area I travel I 24/I 75 often. I have found that stretch of highway not as bad as many other stretches of highways. Only real problem is if there is a wreck on I 24 on the stretch with the river on one side and the mountain on the other. There...

    Will anything get rid of ants overnight?

    From an old veterinarian: Use flea bombs. You must leave the MH for about 2 hours and you must turn off any open flames. Open all cabinets so the spray will get to all areas. Then air out MH for 30 minutes. I place a 4 ounce can in the MH and a 4 ounce can in the basement. This will kill any...

    $30K class A gasser of $55K diesel pusher - what would you do and why?

    I have owned both.  Biggest advantage is the engine brakes and air breaks on the diesel  you can drive slower and still get there. Stopping and not hitting something is more important.

    Best route in Nova Scotia from Baddeck to Cape Breton

    We were like the blind pig finding the acorn. Went to Fortress Louisburg for their 400 year anniversary. Even if there is no special occasion it will be a great stop. Great road around Cape Benton. However, I agree on taking the car. Besides the inclines one would need to make several stops...

    Generator while running down the road

    Kind of a simple thing, but are you sure that you are getting power from the generator to the unit? Would be sad to run that far with the breaker on the gen off.

    WATER

    I was on my was to Tuscaloosa, AL when a tornado hit. I was able to get into a campground but there was no power or water for 2 days. I was glad I had 2/3 tank of water and a full fuel tank. Never wrong to be prepared.

    nc outer banks campgrounds

    DW and I spent 2 weeks on the Outer Banks 4 years ago. We camped in a 38' motorhome. The National Campground (NC) at Okacoke  (sp) is right on the ocean. All the other NC had walkways so one could walk to the ocean. The NG were basically dry camping with dumps and fresh water. Many of the...

    Electrical Brown Out -- Inadvertent Problem caused by Surge Protector

    While in Vietnam I worked closely with the dinning halls with food and dinning hall inspections. One of our biggest problems was brown out. We could not keep our refrigerator units going because of brown outs. When the voltage got low the overhead fans would start to slow and we would go and...

    Freightliner XC Chassis Air Filter and Air Dryer

    I had to change my whole blower at $1800.00. I though that it had been changed 3 years ago. However, it had been 5 years. I will be sure to change mine ever 2-3 years now.

    Indy to Outerbanks via Asheville NC

    Biltmore is nice. Plan on spending at least 1/2 day. We took the ferry from Cedar Creek to Okracoke and then took the free ferry to Hatteras.  However, we spent 2 weeks. With only 5 days I might head to Hatteras pretty quick.

    Oh boy, do I have a mess! Help?

    Make sure that you always have at least 1/4 tank of water in your black tank before dumping. Since you may still have some hard matter in your tank I would continue to put some water into the black tank after dumping. If you are traveling I wound travel with 1/4 - 1/2 dark tank of water for the...
