    Slide out, leveling jacks

    The jacks are hydraulic both ways and yes, they did fully retract before, I usually do a last minute walk around especially after being in one place for a while. I suspect something electrical because big slide doesn?t work now either. I am currently not at same location as MH now so don?t have...

    Slide out, leveling jacks

    First, thanks for all the input on my genset, haven?t totally figured it out, but able to use it when needed. I have a larger problem now with slide and jack systems caused by a large brain fart! Freightliner chassis, went to move after retracting slides but forget to pull jacks before shifting...

    Glow plugs

    The preheat on my Onan 7500 seems to have quit working just as AZ nights are turning cold! This is on my 04 Gulfstream, I checked the F-3 fuse and it is good, my question is does anyone know of a good shop in western AZ that could change the glow plugs? I looked and don?t see any way to get at...

    Heading South

    Ok folks, did the route, if you are like me and enjoy a less traveled road without a bunch of trucks, this might be right up your alley! Maintained a steady 65 with tow, no problems. It is quite slow and windy between state line and Wildhorse reservoir tho, but only about 15 miles so take that...

Looking at a little different route, 93 has been good, did 95 couple of times, has anyone followed 78 from Nampa,ID to 51 and 225 to Elko? Got lots of fuel range and set up for boondocking so don?t need...

    New day, new problem... smelly grey water in my shower

    Maybe drain valve is leaking, try unhooking drain line and put a throw away container under drain and run water through sink to check, leaving valve closed.

    Portable solar panels

    I have been boon docking quite a bit last couple of years with above mentioned solar panels and just 2 12v deep cycle with a 750w inverter for tv and dish receiver. Just now installed 4 Duracell 20AH golf cart batteries and hooked up a 2000w Voltworks pure sine inverter, made pot of coffee with...

    Portable solar panels

    Quick question for you solar whizzes, right now I have two 100 watt panels on roof which seem to keep the batteries up just fine but they are not mounted so I can change the angles easily so was thinking about a 160watt or so to have as backup now and then. Any recommendations on brand ? Did see...

    Battery shortages?

    Don?t want to sound alarming but bought new 6 volt set at Batteries + in Spokane yesterday and the salesman was saying there possibility might be a shortage on these also. Did see another 4 purchased while in store. Just saying if you are thinking about getting some might be the time!

    Overton snowbirds

    Anyone here spent any time boondocking near Overton, NV? Drove through on way home last spring but didn?t have time to stop.  Am interested in how gold prospecting is in those parts.
