    Where do I find a double male connector or converter for my 50 amp plug in?

    I agree with DonTom. My brothers Winnebago has a cable from generator that has to be plugged into power inlet in order to provide power.

    Telescoping table problem

    I have a 2012 Winnebago 30A with a telescoping table leg to make dinette into bed. Problem is lower section collapses but upper section will not. Do the two sections have to be clocked the same?

    Diesel Pusher Gas Mileage

    Our last motorhome was 38' Tiffin with 340hp Cummins, we got up to 10mpg on long snowbird trips. It's all about weight, Tiffin weighed 24,000 lbs and 2004 Beaver before the Tiffin was 33,000 lbs

    Change power cord or water filter?

    Think that is an adapter. You can see cable under motorhome

    Change power cord or water filter?

    I have a Winnebago with same setup. I removed water filter and connected plumbing with appropriate permanent fittings. I then purchased an inline water filter to connect to faucet and hose going to my water inlet. Electric cable and control box are isolated from now water system.

    Tiffin Phaeton Onan 7500 diesel generator won't stay running

    What year is your Phaeton? Earlier generators had vented fuel caps. If not working correctly could cause generator to run for some time before starving.

    Throttle Position Sensor

    Thanks all. My symptoms are sporadic lack of throttle response after stopped at traffic light, or in stop and go traffic. Also, milage has dropped signifyingly.

    Feedback on "Pop Marketing"

    Every time I have been in the market for a new motorhome I have started with RVtraver and RVT. I would suggest selling there too (a much larger audience for your ad). You also know the cost to you up front.

    When deciding on an RV are there an makes, models, or model years to avoid?

    We bought a NEW Forest River Coachman class C last year and it was lacking any kind of Quality Assurance and Quality Control. We could see daylight thru base of bathroom wall. I unloaded it and purchased an older Winnebago, tremendous increase in quality, fit and finish.

    Motorhome not level.

    We recently downsized to a 2012 Winnebago Sightseer 30A. When we brought it home the wife said it was leaning to the right going downing the highway. Of course as an understanding husband I just dismissed it as crown in the road. After being reminded by spouse several times I measured frame on...

    Towing Concerns

    Why worry if you are at towing limits and may overheat engine and transmission. Sell the Traverse and get something much lighter. I towed a 2010 Hoda CRV (3386 lbs) for years behind a DP, no problems. When we downsized to gas motorhome I purchased a 2015 Chevy Sonic (2727 lbs) and you hardly...
