RE: Getting Started - Longer Distance Camping

I would take my dog. I can never recall a dog making excessive noise on a trail. Mine is always busy with her nose buried to the ground taking in all the new scents. I always heal my dog when we approach other people on the trail. While I love my dog I don't assume anyone else does. She loves the adventures and we love having her along. Maybe teenagers and little kids should be restricted also, they are a noisy lot.

RE: Surge protector and water filters

Progressive EMS. Lifetime Warranty, rated for your rv 30 or 50 amp. hardwired or portable is a matter of choice. I like the portable. I don't use water filter since we only shower and wash dishes with campsite water.
Not to be a buzz kill but Progressive will almost always come up with a reason to deny claim coverage.

RE: Ev charging in camps expectation of availability, cost

Probably gonna get scolded here but at State parks I just plug into the 120 volt receptical on the power pedestal. Been told I can't have a wheel on the grass but no one ever said anything about the big black cord running to the side of my car. The charger draws less amps then an AC unit which I have only one of. No washer, dryer or dishwasher.

RE: RV Magazine

Hoping it will improve but not holding my breath. No technical section but with the differences betwen MM and TT it just seems like a losing situtation. I will give it till the end of my current subscription and probably drop it after that.

RE: DVD Player Recommendations?

I agree with APT. I bought a Bluray player that I have plugged directly into the TV. If you really want to replace your wall unit you can try here. They are very helpful if you have any questions also.

RE: does a detached over-the-air television antenna help?

Did basically the same thing as Old-Biscuit. I bought 3 peaces of 5Ft 1 inch thinwall conduit and 2 conectors to make a 15 FT mast. I mounted a ClearStream 2V antenna to the mast. At the back bumper I pound it into the ground a few inches and zip tie it to the back bumper. Aim in the direction of the TV towers and pull in more stations then my RV antenna ever did.

RE: Accidentally winterized the water heater

This is what the pink antifreeze is made for.
Agree it won't hurt anything but people normally don't put any in their hot water tank. Thats way most have a bi-pass valve for the tank

RE: Schwintec Slide

Yes it turned to be a loose wire on the motor itself. I got lucky and was able to solder the wire back on. The motor has wires that tell the controller that both motors are running. If it doesn't detect both running it shuts them off. As long as the wires supply power and ground are good the override will allow the slide to run

Schwintec Slide

One side of my slide will not move unless I go to the override mode on my controller. At this point I assume either a wire is loose from the motor or its the wiring harness. My question is, is it best to access the motor and harness from the inside or outside of the RV? Thanks

RE: Water Pump Being Weird. Is it dead?

Another thing to check: If there is a short hose for sucking anti-freeze into the lines, check for a loose cap on the end. (The cap on mine was loose once, letting the pump suck air into the lines with what sounds just like your problem.)

RE: GM trucks outsell Ford first quarter !

????? You have 1000's of hard working working people through no fault of there own now out of work. As an older person through my lifetime I have accumulated a decent nest egg to survive on but when i was young with a family we basically lived from pay check to pay check. I'm sure there gonna run out and buy frivolous things like food, medicine, and gas.
Just curious, how will you spend the check(s) you are getting?
Things like food, medicine, and gas. :B

RE: GM trucks outsell Ford first quarter !

The stimulus package will be a double edge sword, giving away money to even those that don't need it or deserve it won't teach responsibility.
Excellent point. It will help some people. It will give others more money to hoard things they don't need.
What ever happens, I think the world as we know it has changed forever.

RE: Water pump warning... a little long but may be worth it

Never understood 'quick connections' on an RV water pump.
Just have many times do you need to remove/replace one that it needs quick disconnects
???????
