I have a small bedroom slide that operates on hydraulics that lacks about three inches from sliding out all the way on the bottom.  Top appears to be extending fully.  I can go outside and pull on the bottom and it will slide on out but when it is released it drops back in.  Any clue what would...

It will cause you to loose a lot of interest but I did tell Cummins I would pay the cost but was not by any means going to drop it.  If they didn't mean "Regardless of the warranty status" then what did they mean.  Sort of like you can keep your doctor and your insurance, but that's not exactly...

Cummins contacted me today and said they would agree to pay 75% of the cost.  Even after I showed them an invoice from their shop in Houston that stated they had installed the pressure sensor that would generate an alarm if the crankcase pressure increased and you could then take it to a shop...

I am seeking others who have experienced a wrist pin failure on the Cummins ISL engine.  I experienced a failure recently and it totally destroyed the engine.  Requires complete replacement.  It is on a 2006 Tiffin bus with 49000 miles. The serial number is in the range of the recall for this...

I got them ugly mirrors also and I like this idea.  Do those ugly mirrors come off easily?  Don't want to tear something else up in process.

I do have a motosat dish and also the Kingdome in motion dish that came on the rig, which I haven't used in years.  Possibly the Motosat would work at times up there.

I have a Direct TV system in my RV which is in the inactive mode at this time.  Was going to activate it when I headed to Alaska but I have heard that it will not work traveling through Canada and Alaska.  Is this correct?

Thanks lots for the tip.  The straps from Home Depot worked great.  It's ready for the Alaska trip now.

I have an AFO on another vehicle I tow but I purchased another toad and another AFO for it.  It is a 2002 jeep liberty with 3.7 liter engine.  I cannot find a good place to locate the control unit.  Thought I would locate it behind the grill like the other one but no room there.  Was hoping...

Making the trip to Alaska this year.  Worked there three years, vacationed there twice, but never drove there so going to get that done this year.  Just have a couple of questions for you veterans.  What is be best time of summer to cross into Canada? Hear the permafrost can be a problems if you...

Thanks for all the info.  You answered all my questions.  Who needs books when you have friends.

I just purchased a 2002 Jeep Liberty 4x4 to tow to Alaska this summer.  Only problem is it does not have an owners manual. Found some on line but Jeep website starts with 2004 and not sure if the 2002 is the same.  Other sites requires me to purchase them and all I really need to know is the...

I have two slides giving problems.  The hydrolic slide retracts fully but after a day or so I notice one side will be out a few inches. I think, but not sure, this means I have a leaking solenoid.  Is this a big deal to replace or a simple task? I also have an electric slide that retracts fully...

Want to purchase another toad and am looking at a Honda CRV.  Does this vehicle have to be a four wheel drive in order to tow it on all four.  Do not want to have to add any pumps etc. 

Planning on making the drive up the Alaska Highway next summer and spending a month or so around the Kenai Pennsula.  Have a 40 foot motor home and will be towing. If you have made this trip we would appreciate any advice that you think may be helpful to us.  Have already purchased a copy of the...
