I know it is a long shot, but check the output on your battery chargers. I had to replace two of my six, 4-d batteries due to a over charging charger, it boiled them, and they were glass mat batteries. My charger did not step down as it was supposed to, and was delivering 18 volts when plugged...

Was parked accrost from a 90 Marquise last month that was well maintained, and while talking to the owner he stated that he had just bought it in April, and drove it from Washington State straight through to Little Rock AR with one problem. (Broken fan belt) It had 115,000 miles on the...

We have not found many state or national campgrounds that would not be ble to accept our 40ft Bird. Some may have some short sites , but most can accommodate a 40ft wide body. I have found that some campgrounds have some rather tight turns, so slow and easy in the parks and use a spotter while...

Check your starter ground strap, a friend of ours has a diplomat, and had a problem after setting up his rig for the winter. When checked out, it was discovered that the ground point was not making good contact. Also check all your battery connections for sulfate build up. If that is your...

Most people don't know it, but almost all U-Haul dealers have Propane delivery tanks and can fill your installed tank. When in areas where I cannot find a regular refill dealer for propane I look up them in the local phone book, and get their location. I've only found one or two locations...

Sounds like you plugged into a 220 volt line. Did you use the plug for your laundry dryer? Most of them are 220 volt single phase, and use the same plug as the 110 volt 30 amp RV cords. Check out the voltage of your wall receptical. You should have 110 volts from the two angled slots, if you...

We rode 20 miles on the Trikes today wearing shorts and T-shirts. Not in Arkansas! We are just outside of Austin Texas till the end of March. Lee

Three weeks ago I-35 was heavy construction from just north of Waco all the way south to Round Rock.(We turned off at Round Rock) with narrow lanes through all of the construction areas. We had times when there was just a couple of inches clearance between my mirror and a semi's. Not fun at 65...

You could do as one couple who was staying at the same park we were at. They used a car hauler with fold up bunk beds. They put the car in the trailer while traveling, then just folded down the beds as needed when stopped. The front of the trailer had a bathroom in the first three foot of the...

For the last 14 years the wife and I had been operating a USCOE Camp Ground outside of Scott Arkansas and usually there was just a small number of full timers staying with us. Most years there was a pot luck going on at at least one site. Where we all congregated. One of our regulars was a...

Remove your inside filter cover on the A/C with the broken shroud, and look inside. You should be able to see a label telling you the make and model of your unit. It will probably be the same as your rear A/C. Most coach manufactures usually use the same units for both front and rear positions...

Or else buy the clear plastic elbow that threads into the hose. Camping World sells them and usually has them in stock at a reasonable price. Lee

USCOE cancelation procedure is, sight is held for 24 hours, and then cancelled, for which the person with the reservation is charged for a no show, plus $10.00. The USCOE uses " nrrs " as their reservation system, which can be accessed at www.recreation.gov . Their policy of cancelation is given...

Don't tag or insure the unit until you are ready to depart. If one of the relatives insist on using it tell them that they will need to tag and insure it before putting it on the road. You will probably be the first to use it! ( Remember, the registered owner will be responsible for tickets for...

I started with home made tow bars,(made my own) and adapters (also made by me. I mostly used them for towing the second vehicle. When I went to a Motor Home someone convinced me that a dolly was better. Since I was loading and un loading by myself, I soon went back to the tow bars. For me that...
