RE: How screwed am I ? Boneheaded jacking mistake

My immediate concern would be the new 'bent' portion contacting that tire on a bumpy road. I can't really tell from the pic how close it is.

RE: Broken Leaf Spring

I recently visited the RV museum in Elkhart and saw a big poster advertising ATIS systems for RVs. Wouldn't they make a mint if they extended that idea and put air bags on heavy RV trailers the same as semis? https://www.psitireinflation.com/how-it-works

RE: Military Campgrounds

This seems to be very common any more: misinformation passed along by people who supposedly know better. From what I've seen, many of the RV newsletters and online RV advice columns are written by anyone who contributes. I doubt if there is any vetting happening now. To paraphrase a president: "Doubt, and verify". :)
I read the original article and responded directly to them trying to set the record straight. We'll see if they 'clarify' in the next issue.

RE: Pilot credit card needed ?

concur about their high price. Get an Open Roads EFS card if you need diesel and save a ton.
Fly J is the highest priced fuel on the planet , often 60 to 70 cents higher than other stations . I drive past the Fly J at Ocala on a regular basis and just down the road a mile or so is where I fuel . Last Friday it was $1.05 higher !

RE: Service

You should be able to talk to the manufacturer and find out where else it can be taken for warranty work.

I put my lightest road bike on a ladder rack and 2 other bikes in the bed of the truck between the cab and the hitch.

RE: Propane tank valve - stuck solid

I've had a couple of valves get stuck like that on #20 cylinders. I could never get them unstuck and cylinder replacement would cost about the same as valve replacement. The last time I was lucky and the valve was open just enough to finish using the tank before I trashed it.
If the good wrong way advice does not work, then the valve can be replaced. Call around to find a local propane shop that services tanks.

The Next Exit. Book form or app. It will identify all RV friendly businesses at each interstate exit.

RE: No power

Check underneath the slide. I had a 2006 bighorn and the wire loom would rub against the tires until the wires finally separated.

RE: Clogged Black Tank

As others have noted, make sure your valve is opening all the way. If it is, there are a couple of other possibilities. First (most likely) you have a big wad of TP sitting at the exit pipe in your black tank. Solution for this is to keep filling your black tank with water until it pushes the wad out. Second, you might have a tank cutout that floated to the exit pipe. For that you'll need to remove the valve, then remove the cutout with a pair of long nose pliers (messy job). Third, if you really do have a poop pyramid you could try a chemical like Tank Techs RX or a drain bladder like this (pushed down through the toilet): Drain Bladder

RE: Gas 11 years ago from a Forum memeber

Amazing how some people have to go political when politics has nothing to do with the price of fuel today.
