    Jacks up or down in storage?

    Undoubtedly this has been a topic before, but I couldnt find anything. So, what is best for the tires when in storage? thanks

    Hydralic Jacks wont go down

    I blew a fuse once and they wouldnt go UP while dry camping! I have carried a drill with the correct size socket ever since to manually raise or lower them in case of problems...

    Really confused - disconnected house batteries and still have lights and power?

    Just went out again to look around now it is hooked up with shore power and the batteries are charging. It APPEARS that the coach battery is also getting charged as it is now showing over 13 volts which we would not see if it was not getting a charge from the shore powered charger. So I guess my...

    Really confused - disconnected house batteries and still have lights and power?

    On the dash there is a boost switch that I think is only on when you hold it down and that is for "jumping" the chassis from the house batteries. But you did make me wonder if perhaps that switch isn't working the way it supposed to. I completely disconnected the house batteries and still had...

    Really confused - disconnected house batteries and still have lights and power?

    Ok, the plan was to put an on/off switch on my house battery cables (ground) so they would stay charged while in storage (I started disconnecting the ground each time and decided that was a bunch of baloney - but it did work!). I put the switch in on the ground side but there was still power in...

    Outside flood light replacement bulb cant find 1295...

    One of the bulbs was out and it was a 1295 which I believe came originally. When it was under warranty the other side went out and was replaced by Giant RV (I REALLY don't like those guys!) and I checked what they used and it was a 1147!? Looking on the Internet it describes the 1295 bulb as a...

    Removing decals made fun and easy!

    Not really, but I thought if I shared this afternoons adventure it could help others. Not having a shaded spot in sunny So Cal has taken its toll on my decals. The good news is that someday I will have all new ones that Newmar gave me a couple years ago when i crabbed about them. The bad news...

    Help my radio antennae mast is broke - cant find right size

    I was up cleaning the rubber roof and noticed my radio antennae mast was broken. The good news is it is just the screw in mast so I just need that part. It appears this mast has a 3/8 inch opening to screw into the base. None of the local auto parts have masts with that large an opening. I...

    Leveling Blocks and Jack Pads

    I went to Home Depot years ago and had them cut a a piece of pressure treated 4x6 into 18 inch lengths. I then went and bought some cheap cabinet handles that I  mounted on the end. They stack easily in storage and the handle is very useful and I  always place them under my jacks unless we are...

    Spare Fuses

    my fuse panel is hard to get at so I decided to go with Smart Fuses. They are supposed to light up when they kick which makes it real easy to see and replace. I blew a fuse when my batteries went dead and decided these fuses where the way to go after the fun I had replacing earlier ones. The...

    Dash air vents only blow thru defrost vents on Ford chassy

    Since I have the same motor you do, I bet yours is in the same place! The line that broke goes up around and down to another gizmachee that is lower and right below the passenger seat. I hope you are as lucky as I was.

    Dash air vents only blow thru defrost vents on Ford chassy

    [b][b][size=24pt][size=18pt]FIXED IT FOR  $.42!!!! [b][size=14pt]spent a lot of time searching on line and it appears this is not an unusual problem. Somewhere I saw that the hoses connect to a semi round plastic "ball". I remember seeing something like that! Right there in front above the...

    Dash air vents only blow thru defrost vents on Ford chassy

    I know someone must know what to look for. I pulled the engine cover off and opened the front hatch and everything seems pretty accessable. I cant hear any sounds of a leak but I guess that would make it too simple to track. I looked hard and nothing seems obvious...
