RE: Lipppert 6 point level system
Leveling system needs a full battery work the hydraulics. A low battery should at least give a grinding sound. Check your fuses. Try hooking up a battery charger directly to the battery and then try the leveling.

RE: A drone while camping
I thought about using a drone on very remote BLM land to check the rough road conditions ahead and look for suitable campsites. Also can check just before dark if other critters have set up camp close to me, etc. I go to very remote locations for true peace and quiet and privacy off the grid when in the mood. However changed my mind when I learned all the drones were made in spying China so no longer interested. Like always go to higher ground and survey area with binoculars. Works for me.
If drones become too numerous and intrusive of our privacy many people will start wearing disguises with brim hats to thwart facial recognition software. Just musingGuess where your cell phone was made?

RE: Blue DEF
DEF is DEF, buy whatever has the lowest price. I do have concerns with dirty nozzles at truck stops, but many use it with no problems. Walmart most likely has the best price on their own brand.
As noted DEF is DEF is DEF. It is all the same, save yourself some money and buy the $7 stuff from Walmart.
So you are both certified chemist that have tested all brands of DEF on all counts including purity.
The effects of less pure DEF likely will not appear right away, the same as using cheap engine oil will only build sludge which leads to issues down the road.
As often as I need to add DEF I will use a brand name.So, you are the DEF expert? lol
I use the cheapest. Never an issue.

RE: Long trips
One thing we absolutely dislike about our 5th wheel/toyhauler is the bucking at bridge approaches. In the motorhomes I drive at work the bridge approaches are much easier to negotiate. Had a diesel that rocked up so far I was looking at the sky.
All the wife knows about cross-countries are on the back of a motorcycle hauling a tent-trailer and our 5th wheel. We've done 5-6000 mile trips on both. I drive a lot of cross-country at work in motorhomes ranging from Bs to diesel pushers so I get to see the other side.
5th wheels are the absolute best in the wind. Between the 6 tires on my truck and 6 on the trailer, the rig is ultra stable in crosswinds.
I like the motorhomes for their maneuverability and ease of parking. I imagine my wife would enjoy being able to move about while traveling. I also enjoy the comfortable motorhome seats and roominess. Someday we might make the trade for an A gasser and tow our RZR on trips.

RE: Propane tank
I top off both tanks before a big trip just to be on the safe side. If we're only going to be gone for a week and won't be using the heater, I'll just lift them and if one of them feels full then I won't top off.

RE: Is there any difference in DRIVING a gas class A vs diesel?
Working for an RV dealer I don't see much difference in the diesel/gas debate except for the length. Other than that they are the same to me. The mechanics are different but they are still the same. I must admit that when I'm driving them I forget what I'm in at times.

RE: Help! Onan 4K generator refuses to start and stay on
My genny did the same thing, start for a short period and stop. Cleaned out the carb and all is well. It's really very easy.

RE: Is there any difference in DRIVING a gas class A vs diesel?
If you get a diesel learn how the air brakes work. There was one person who actually believed that if he lost his air he wouldn't be able to stop.

RE: Auxiliary tank - full or empty?
If it's empty, it's empty. I wouldn't fill it and I don't with my tank.

RE: Salt Lake to Albuquerque on a 40 Pusher then to Florida.
Don't sweat the indians. I'd be more concerned about the NM Gov. closing down everything, which she just did. Avoid NM at all cost.

RE: Flying to the USA and shipping car
99.6% survival rate. Don't believe the hysteria. If you're afraid then stay home but the rest of us should be able to lead our lives, we'll even stay in your empty camping spots.
