Sorry I never replied to this topic.  Either the furnace or Motoraid will work, once the mods are done. Fran

I drilled 4-three inch diameter holes in the side wall of the rear-most curbside under the kitchen slideout storage bay into the water pump bay.  I put a round plastic soffit vent (HD) into each hole.  The photo shows the left vent, located near the bay door.  It should be about 2 inches lower. ...

What kind of camping to you do?  What type of equipment? NH:  Danforth Bay in Freedom (open year round) ME: Acadia National Park (35 foot limit) MA:  Salsibury SP and Scusset SP (but you probably already knew that) Fran

Keep in mind, most MH come equipped with highway traction rib tires and aren't the best for offroad situations.  If you decide to go the MH route, you may want to change the rear tires to traction tread tires like a 4X4 might have. Fran

Maddie, Go here and download your wiring diagram.  It will give you a GENERAL sense where your wiring is run. http://www.winnebagoind.com/diagram/Wiring.htm Fran

I just went and measured my batt box.  It's about the same size as your box, but mine is 14" high (to the base of the batteries).  I have 2-6 volt CG2's coach and 1-12V chassis batteries in there.  There's about a 3" step down to where the batteries actually sit.  Did you measure to very bottom...

Have you thought about something like a Winnebago Via (25 1/2' Class A) or View (24 1/2' Class C)?  They are built on the Sprinter.  Either should get into the mid-teens mpg. Fran

My Itasca is a bit newer than your MH, but I replaced my Group 24 12V batteries with two 6V GC batteries (bought at NAPA because they were closest--approx 15 miles away).  There are 2 mods, which I did.  1) Rewire for series connection and 2) bought and installed longer threaded rod to hold the...

According to my '06 Itasca manual, the steps, leveling jacks and my 3 slides all operate off of the chassis battery.  There is probably an ignition warning/interlock for these three items.  I'm guessing your chassis battery may have been low.  It does not charge when plugged in unless you have a...

Here's a link to a "typical" Dimensions Owner's Manual that's equipped with the battery charger (800 watts or higher model).  http://dimensions.sensata.com/Manuals/122000.pdf When outfitted with the charger, the Dimensions has a transfer relay to switch from inverter to shore power.  Any...

Probably a local campground!! Fran

I guess my questions is:  Who has the upper authority, WM or property management?  I would go back into WM and ask. Fran

My thought is if your contractor can get his 10 wheel dump truck and trailer with excavator up the driveway, you shouldn't have issues with a pickup truck and 25' 5th wheel.  Ask him if he has any trouble getting the above up your drive.  Your future home will need contractor deliveries for...

I can't directly answer your question, but a more important bit of data is not the angle of the turn, but what is the radius of the turn to the center of the road?  I have a 450' uphill (19% grade at one point) driveway with a fairly tight left hand turn (I don't know the radius).  The driveway...

Hi John, I was trying to wrap my head around how turning on the W/H would keep the water pump from freezing.  I looked up your plumbing diagram and found your W/H and W/P are mounted near each other forward on the passenger side.  My W/H is mounted in front of the driver's side rear wheel and...
