Someone I know has a Ford Expedition. She got the paper recalling hers 2 years or so ago when it first became a problem. She took it to Ford and they disconnected the switch from the master cylinder. In her research as to why it needed to be done she found that the only ones reporting any...

Thanks for answering. I think I'll try it. I'm not expecting to be able to make extended stays in frigid weather. I'm just trying to insure that if the temp dips this year I can keep things warm enough with the insulation and a trouble light to keep from freezing a tank. We have made covers for...

Which type? The plastic or the felt? If it's the plastic do you know if there is any other insulation or just the plastic.

I know that some TT's have a bellypan or covering to enclose the waste tanks. Our Z290 doesn't. The wife and I are planning a stay in Northern Alabama in late December.

My Z290 has a soft, black spongy seal around the slide. Not the one that stays on the trailer and deflects rain but on the outer rim of the outside wall of the slide. When the slide is in, the seal contacts a plastic seal which covers a row of screws around the slide opening on the TT wall. If I...
