    Is CA41 ok for a 34 ft Class A Motorhome?

    What Lou Schneider said... 46 west all the way from 5 to CA 1 then north to San Simeon. I just drove 46 from 101 to a couple of weeks ago in a 31'er, no problems except that the Shandon rest area is closed.

    A couple of basic MH questions about leveling (no onboard leveling system)

    Cut yourself several pieces of 2x6 to use for leveling, in multiples of a standard length of say, 9" (9, 18, and 27 should be good. I'd start with at least 4 of each. I leveled our last 2 motohomes this way. If your rig is heavy enough, running one dual up on a block will only flatten the...

    Any good places on the central coast (Big Sur, Monterey area)

    California has 20,698,000 acres. As of now, 1,470,637 acres has burned this year, or 7.1%. Hardly "most" of California. And, the majority of that acreage has already burned, not actively burning.

    Hints, Tricks and Gadgets/Tools --- small ones.

    Here are the larger sized one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078X3VWJF/ and the smaller ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078X3VWJF/ I've been know to pull the wick out of an existing wax pillar candle and bore a cavity to fit one of these, as well.

    Hints, Tricks and Gadgets/Tools --- small ones.

    Cheap, easy, portable, night lights.... LED votives/tea lights. They are self powered (no plug in to 12 VDC or AC). I get them in bulk from Amazon and look for the ones with built in timers (8 hour preferred. I've seen 4 and 6 hour too.). Also get a card or 2 of replacement batteries. If the...

    Considering upgrading 30amp to 50 amp

    If the goal is to run 2 A/Cs, intercept the wiring from one A/C, and add an outlet and a plug on a pigtail. Then, at the park, use an extension cord to plug the A/C into a 20 Amp outlet. Easy and inexpensive and safe. I did this on our Suncruiser and used it many times.

    Do I need a VPN?

    It's unclear to me how you are using AVG and Avast. If only one one the other on each machine, OK. Don't use 2 AVs on a single machine.They will fight with each other. Also, my experience (Nord VPN), some secure websites like one of my banks, don't like it and I have to turn it off. Otherwise...

    Rear A/C unit not getting power from coach

    I think we need more details. Has it worked for you in the past? Are you plugged in? Does it work on the generator? Does the front A/C work? Plugged in? Generator? And, what happens in those scenarios when the switch is flipped the other way? (front/back/generator/plugged in)?
