Hello all. Just curious about enclosed Car trailer frames. I have seen both I-Beam frames and Tube frames for enclosed car haulers? Is one better than the other for strength and durability. Hallmark, USA Cargo, Colony all use a tube frame. The Interstate ones I've seen use I-Beam. There are...

Howdy all. Need some recommendations for RV & Toad storage in the Southern California area (preferably LA area). We will be staying in the Philippines for 6 to 8 months at a time and need some place to store the rig.

Howdy all, My 06 Tour passenger slide lock continues to malfunction. I just had the motor replaced and it worked two months ago when I picked it up. It has been parked for the last two months and the slide itself is creeping out at the bottom (continuous problem). So I tried to unlock the slide...

Hi everybody. I have a question. I have pets, both small dogs and cats. How bad are the coyotes and snakes in the Yuma area?

Hello all. I replaced my NORCOLD fridge with a residential one. I have been trying to figure out how to close off the exterior vent door for the fridge. The AC escapes out the vent part of the panel.I tried spray foam but that just made a mess. Anyone out there figure out a good way to seal it off?

Planning a trip in late Sep early Oct to drive from Fredericksburg, VA to the L.A. area. I have driven it 4 or 5 times over the years in a car but it has been a long time since the last trip. I've never driven our coach in the mountains before. It does have an exhaust break. My 06 Tour has a CAT...

Howdy all. Hopefully someone has some insight on my possible options regarding my Captains Chairs in my 06 Tour. I want to replace them. They are the original factory Leather (touch) seats. The driver's is electric and the co-pilots is manual. The co-pilots has a manually activated foot rest...

Thanks All!!! I have seen the HVAC guy use something like the "little guy" a few years back. Thanks for jogging my memory. http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif

What is the best device to measure the air temps at your air ducts and return duct? I read the posts from 2010 and need to do that before I can decide if I need to take it in for service. Thermostat reads about 85 - 87 in full sun with outside temps mid to upper 90s. All windows tinted with...

We have been members of Coat to Coast or C2C. Our home park is in GA and have never been there yet. C2C is a great deal if you use their affiliated parks. The member parks usually restrict the number of C2C campers per day and some really don't even honor the affiliation. I pay an average of $10...

Howdy All. So just finished the replacement of our Sharp microwave. It had intermittent difficulties working and all the metal trim fell off. Replaced it with a Whirlpool microwave. The one thing I found out during this evolution was that the Sharp's door actually did not go from side to side...

Called Winnebago. They informed me there is a 3' wide piece of aluminum plate in the ceiling that the mounting angle bracket in the ceiling is attached to. So probably the best solution is to make a new metal angle bracket that will extend back to where the original is mounted to the ceiling and...

Thanks. I'll try that.

Howdy All. I started replacing my old Sharp Microwave yesterday. It came out with out much difficulty. The replacement microwave is almost exact in size. The snag I hit is that the door is a full side to side door. The Sharp door stopped a couple inches from the left side. So the front of the...

We mostly run the generator while driving for the A/C so fridge will run on that mostly when not plugged into shore power. It can run on the inverter but mine is a modified sine inverter son not good for very long they say. I will eventually convert over to a pure sine inverter. We are using a...
