Working on a packing list for my camper. Easy to bring along a decent tool box that will allow me to fix a lot of stuff. Trying to decide if I need jack stands, a jack, and an impact wrench to be able to change my own tire. If I'm willing to accept I might wait most or all of a day to get...

2015 Grand Design 27RL. There is a molded piece of plastic on the side at the wheel wells. On one side the clear coat is peeling. looking for advice on how to fix this. Removing clear coat is fine, no clear coat would look better than what I got now. thx to anyone offering advice.

Thx. good info. I can't help wondering why the OEM's don't make a turbo version of their big block gassers. My 4 cyl 2L turbo edge has noticeably more power than my wifes slightly older 3.5L V6. Can't see why a towing oriented turbo for the big gassers wouldn't expand the market for those...

Update. Provided the repair receipts to tire place owner and he paid without argument. I own a business and have occasionally had to cover the costs resulting from a real bonehead mistake by an employee so I was glad the owner stepped up.

which engine and rear end ratio?

... some learning curve there with 10 spd trans.

Tow/haul on down grades automatically downshifting. Yes to cruise and shifting. Some learn

my training came from motorcycle track days. I clearly remember a video where a rider went down in a curve and slid to the right. the following rider with the camera followed the downed bike to the right and ran right into it. target fixation.

4800 miles 8.8 mpg overall. low day of 6.8 mpg high of 10.1, typical day 350 - 400 miles. Ford tow/haul very helpful. 10 spd shifts too much, in roller coaster areas I just disabled the highest gears which eliminated a lot of shifting and didn't seem to hurt mileage at all. new F250 was great...

Target fixation - a normal human response to focus on a threat. Many times in a video you can see someone wreck when the driver had ample opportunity to evade. Takes training.

Not tried yet. Waiting for big snowstorm to pass. Symptoms match description of lost motor sync.

thx. resync is exactly what we need to do.

slide brand is "Schwintek". noise is not a relay. however, it does seems more present when operating the slide on the battery only. (usually we plug in 1st so slide motors have more volts to work with.) only does it on the largest slide even when camper is quite level. even when making...

thx everyone. antifreeze AND the ice maker. I missed that.

Grand Design Camper. used 50psi to blow out each hot and cold line to faucets and shower. ALso water line to commode. removed plug from water heater. removed low point drains one at a time and blew those out with all faucet valves closed. poured RV antifreeze into sink drains to fill traps...
