As others will suggest, Crutchfield.

RE: Bad city connection check valve cause low water pressure?
It's probably a defective check valve. The valve may have come out of the the mount, missing retainer clip. That's why it appeared crooked,out of place. With the pressure from the city water, it's pushing the valve piece too far and obstructing water flow. It probably doesn't stop the water from leaking out when using the pressure pump either.
Relativity cheap and easy to replace..

RE: door latch replacement
" Presently not locking off the electric door lock system and Ill figure that out" I've had similar problems with our 06 Outlook. In the coach door jamb, there are electrical contacts (to avoid a wiring harness through the door jamb). Unscrew the contact plate and check the back to make sure that there is a wire connected to each terminal. I found that one wire would fall off due to vibrations. I squeezed the connector tight, reinstalled and voila. It works.

RE: Longest lasting batteries
Motorcraft Ford. I just changed the OEM chassis battery in my 06 E450 chassis. Only 13 years. For the last 6 or 7 years I've used a trickle charger on it, to compensate for usage by the step, interior lights going on/off when using the key fob to enter the coach.

RE: Fresh water system
They are not separate systems, just separate sources. The threaded city water 'source' connect to your interior water system between the pump (supplied by the gravity filled tank) and your fixtures, including the hot water system.
There is a check valve in the pump that should prevent the tank from filling. Also there is a check valve in the threaded city water connection to prevent water from coming out the side, when the pump and fresh water tank are used.
Either one can go bad, in your case it is probably the one in the pump.

RE: Starcraft Star Stream 2007 Leaking Skylight
I would definitely pass on that one. If you can see some mould, that maybe all,it may just be the tip. The finished ceiling material is usually laminated to thin Luan (plywood) and that is against the white block foam insulation. The water moisture could have gravitated several feet away from what you can see. I'm not saying that it has, but check the ceiling for soft spots or discolouration. That could lead a big repair. Run

RE: speakers to add to the tv
Most likely yes. If your TV has an audio output jack (either 3.5 headphone jack or RCA connections, then yes. Connect one of those to appropriate inputs on your sound system. My headphone jack is plugged into the dash radio and and then I use the rear speakers, which just happen to be close to the TV.
Some RCA jacks maybe labeled fixed audio , volume controlled by secondary amplifier or marked variable level, then volume could be controlled by the TV
Ken
Edit added Yes the sound bar would be the best option, connect to TV the same way, even a available with sub woofer

RE: Canadian side Niagara Falls Questions
Here is the link to Niagara Parks Canada, it gives all sorts of info about the Niagara area, public transit geared for the tourist and parking info.
Another spot in the Niagara area to visit is Welland Canals, very interesting to see how ships, the length of two football fields are lifted the height of the falls.
Cash, the easiest way we found is to make a purchase at Walmart or virtually any business using your debit card and ask for or click the button on the Walmart register and get the cash in Canadian currency. Your bank will do all the exchange rates automatically.
U.S. currency is accepted at probably 95% of establishments in the Niagara Toronto area, maybe not the best exchange rates. Even here 2 hours north of the border, I and others have never had an issue using U.S. currency 5, 10, 20, 50s and even 100.

RE: Flat tow setup
Yes, it seems like a high, very high price. It takes about an hour or so to remove and replace the plastic fascia on the front of the CRV.
By the way, for a 14 CRV, same as my 12 CRV, it depends on the driveline whether or not it can be towed on a dolly. Front wheel drive can be towed 4 down or on a dolly. If it is All Wheel Drive it must be towed 4 down or on a trailer.

RE: Winter camping
One RV campground we have used are converting some of the RV campsites into stick and brick cabins or vacation homes. We were quite satisfied with it as a campground but cannot comment on the 'homes'
Theme World RV resort, They are centrally located in Florida about 20 minutes west of Disney.

RE: Best In-dash nav and camera system for Minnie Winnie?
For in dash components, if you really want to go that way, go to ‘ Crutchfield.com ‘. They have a very large selection of products and adaptors plus good customer service.
When entering your vehicle information, you can use Econoline. The dashboard is is same in a 150 Econoline to the E450 cutaway.
Others will suggest individual units for dash cam rear view monitors, your choice on products available and $$.

RE: How do I find parts for my Minnie Winnie?
Yes, the cab/engine driveline is Ford. Your size model 322 would definitely be on a 450 chassis. It is an ‘E’ series not the F series, there are differences.
You would look under ‘E-450 cutaway ‘. Some cab body components, windshield wipers lights are the same as an Econoline, but engine, chassis parts are much heavier.
For Motorhome components, go to the Winnebago website and look under resources for your particular model, they have everything listed.

RE: 2 wheel dolly or flat tow?
What year and what driveline in your CRV;
"Thinking of towing a Honda CRV behind a class C. CRV is wife's everyday driver, and will likely be replaced within a couple of years"
Our 12 CRV AWD can NOT be towed on a dolly, only 4 down (or on a trailer). Newer ones after 2014, with the new CVT transmission canNOT be towed behind a MH, either 2 down Dolly, or 4 down.
As for older models with the 4wd designation (as opposed to AWD), is a different storey again.

If it's like the Winnebago site, there are new units of that particular model out 'there' on dealer lots. But they are no longer producing that model.

RE: Bed struts
I haven’t done it, but considered it after adding the extra weight of 3” mattress topper. The extra weight made it a very heavy lift. If It lifted relativity easy with the original struts , stay with them. If it was a heavy lift, go with the heaver ones.
