    Should we replace our 20 year old "Air V" Air Conditioner by Carrier before it fails?

    Wow! Thanks for the encouraging feedback. It looks like we'll run it until if finally gives out. Thanks, Phil & Karen

    Should we replace our 20 year old "Air V" Air Conditioner by Carrier before it fails?

    We have a 2004 Alumascape TT that we've owned since it was new. It's coming up on 20 years of annual/seasonal use and the unit is still running fine but... We're thinking of replacing it before it fails on the road and perhaps at the most inopportune (hot) time. We have no idea how long an RV...

    So much to learn..

    Heck, getting them from point A to point B is the exciting part. You'll miss half the fun if you just leave it in one spot ;).

    Surge Protection Necessity

    We have the EMS-PT30X RV Surge Protector. Just one less thing to be concerned about while out enjoying this great Country of ours. After plugging it in you can close the outlet box it's attached to and lock the box (there's not enough room to unplug (steal) you protector when the elec. box is...

    Looking for Part # L5096-28 EL/AH or Equivalent (2004 Alumascape TT).

    We are getting no feedback for the levels of our holding tanks. I've checked with https://www.revgroupDOTcom, which is where we generally get parts when needed (and many other RV parts suppliers). I've also swapped rocker switches on the panel to make sure it wasn't a switch problem and checked...

    Dometic refrigerator won't switch over

    I will ask. I believe he ended up going to the manual and online (which is where he should have started in the first place).

    Dometic refrigerator won't switch over

    A friend sent me this question. All I know is that he purchased a used class C a few years back. On our TT we have a mode selection; propane/elec/auto. "Hey Phil, how’re you doing? I have an RV question for you. My Dometic refrigerator won’t switch over to the gas mode when I stop the RV...

    boondocking in rest stops and Wal-Marts

    Just a word of caution about any sticker that might indicate you carry a weapon in your RV; thieves notice things like that. Guns are very desirable to thieves. Thieves know when you're away. These stickers are also noticed by LE and as you mentioned, border crossings.

    I like the look and I'm getting used to navigating around. Good job!!

    boondocking in rest stops and Wal-Marts

    We use truck stops 90% of the time while traveling XC. They have fuel (we always fuel up), food, water, stores, etc. We look for areas around the perimeter that are not marked for truck parking to stay in. Truck stops are usually large open areas. On the rare occasion that we can't find a...

    Paralleling two Honda EU3000is generators - expert feedback needed.

    OK, here's the skinny on my now resolved generator debacle. The old(er) 3000is, bought new in 2001, would never work with the new 3000is.  It was setup to work with a whole different paralleling system.  In fact, the old system didn't even have a part # or name,  It was called a "special...

    Paralleling two Honda EU3000is generators - expert feedback needed.

    Thanks for the feedback.  I did try, with fingers crossed, running the two in parallel.  I had the wife turn on the AC while I stood by at the generators.  The older model (w/3100 hours on it) kicked-out immediately on 'overload'. I'll be talking to Honda today to try and get to the bottom of...
