JFN, I've talked with seller 3 times and he can't figure why I'm having the issue following his directions. I stopped by a foreign car repair shop yesterday and they were not much help either. The mechanic indicated that the systems go to sleep on the car 30 min after shut down. The steering...

No key, a fob, I guess they call it. Place in slot, then push in, press start/stop button; car cranks. I have found that if you just place the fob into the slot but not push in, the steering wheel seems to be unlocked. If you start and stop ignition then that function ceases for a time, have not...

Just purchase a 2007 Mini Cooper S, 6 speed manual trans, already set up for towing 4 down; Blue Ox equipment w portable Patriot braking system. Purchased from ad in the RV Forum for sale section. Great. My issue: battery dead each time I reach my overnight stop. I have followed the instructions...

Gary, side note. Headed to Crystal River next week then on to Fort Myers area.

Gary thanks for your response and all your responses to RVers. I read much of what is asked and responded to in the forum. Great information and great reading. The Avalon is front wheel drive. The dolly is a Stehl Tow. Dolly is basically new, less than one year old. I have read their manual and...

I used a tow dolly many years ago w/o problems. I have only been RVing for a year and just purchased a tow dolly w brakes. I can't seem to get good information about pulling our Toyota Avalon. The manual is no help on using a tow dolly. Four down is an absolute no-no in the manual; the reason...

No forced plug in. See want I wrote back to you below.

30 A RV receptacle that was wired 220V.The outlet was labeled as 125V RV outlet. See more I wrote to wackymac.

That is exactly what happened. It was a 30A plug exactly the type as MH. I should have been smart enough to used my volt meter and checked the voltage prior to plugging into it. I was parked at my sons new house in the mountains. The location had two outlets one for 50A and one for 30A. They...

Smoke came from inverter the best I could determine. Everything inside is working; tried all equipment. Furnace is running at the moment. As I stated earlier the only breaker that tripped was a 15a, listed as inverter in my elect panel. I hope that saved something or everything. I have not...

Stupid me. Plugged into 30A outlet w 220v power. Got inside unit to find smoke everywhere. Ran back outside and cut off power. Aired out the MH. Checked out everything I knew how to check. Only found breaker to power inverter tripped. Reset the tripped breader. Found the correct plug for 120v...

Sorry folks but did not spend anytime on this site the remainder of our travels so I'm behind. Great comments since my posting Aug 15. I'll have take a few minutes to review my process long w the comments and questions before I place an answer. Be back in a couple of days.

Tom  If you pick this up; is there away for me to take the question off the site once I have gotten my questions resolved? JTH

I need to learn to ask much earlier about travels. This last minute asking isn't helping me at all. Any good RV stops around South Lake Tahoe? From there we are headed south in California. Any suggested sights on the trip toward San Diego? John & Brenda, N. Myrtle Bch, SC
