RE: More efficient propane furnace As mentioned earlier in this tread; a big part of the equation is the lack of insulation in the average RV. The average home has at R values of at least 6 in walls and 13 in the ceiling and HVAC ducts are insulated. Most RVs have little if any insulation in walls and ceiling and none on the undersized duct work.	prichardson	01/08/22 09:59am	Tech Issues
RE: Electric Chevy Silverado Debut Even without trying to tow something I doubt if you will get 400 miles in the real world. Running the air conditioner or heater will take a bite out of it.	prichardson	01/06/22 10:12am	Tow Vehicles
RE: How to see grand canyon Not sure of your rig; but if you are not over 25' and willing to dry camp, there is the option of Desert View Campground at the east entrance to the park. Not nearly as crowded as the village area.	prichardson	12/30/21 07:51am	RV Parks, Campgrounds and Attractions
RE: 2022 Trip Planning- Advice for Newbies I always carry at least a 1/3 tank or more of water. This way you can make rest and lunch stops at your convenience. For provisioning, stock food as you would at home and clothing the same taking in mind the climate you will be visiting. Plan to have a day every week or so for grocery shopping and laundry. Over night stops can usually be accomplished without reservations. Longer stops may need reservations depending on where they are especially on holidays.	prichardson	12/29/21 07:43am	Roads and Routes
RE: Looking for a campground around Sarasota Unless there is a specific reason to make a stop in Sarasota you could overnight further north where your chances for a spot should improve.	prichardson	12/03/21 07:32am	RV Parks, Campgrounds and Attractions
RE: Weekend Warrior Converter Issue Hard to tell by picture what is going where, but this is the way they should be wired. https://i.imgur.com/m157b2rl.jpg	prichardson	11/15/21 08:30am	Tech Issues
Scary GMC commercial This topic has been moved to another forum. You can read it here: 30294723	prichardson	11/07/21 07:53am	General RVing Issues
Scary GMC commercial While watching football yesterday I saw a GMC commercial promoting its' hands free driving feature that is very scary. It shows it being used with the driver not paying attention and also in traffic and towing. We have enough distracted drivers on the road without manufacturers promoting it.	prichardson	11/07/21 07:53am	Around the Campfire
RE: Furnace flames cycles off before temp is reached Sounds like it is cycling on the high limit which is an indication of an airflow problem. Make sure that nothing is restricting the return air and that all registers are open and unrestricted.	prichardson	11/07/21 07:42am	General RVing Issues
RE: TX HWY 21 Have not been on that route; however, most Texas State highways are in very good condition.	prichardson	11/07/21 07:31am	Roads and Routes
RE: Mildew pre treatment A cover will defeat the advantages of having the roof vent and a window open for cross ventilation.	prichardson	10/25/21 07:26am	Beginning RVing
RE: Wheel Bearings - re-grease? My biggest concern would be the tires. OP stated they were installed in 2019; however they could be older. Best indicator is the date code on the tires.	prichardson	10/20/21 09:38am	Tech Issues
RE: plastic sky light over shower If even tinted has more light/heat transfer than wanted, put a coat of white water based exterior paint on the top most part of the cover.	prichardson	10/17/21 08:32am	Do It Yourself Modifications and Upgrades (DIY)
RE: Propane tank cover modification As said cut a hole in the front. If you don't like the idea of an open hole; make a cover with a piece of plastic a little larger than the hole and attach with one pop rivet above the hole. Now you have a little door to swing open and see the indicator.	prichardson	10/17/21 08:23am	Do It Yourself Modifications and Upgrades (DIY)
RE: Mildew Ventilation is the key. Leave at least one roof vent open and a window at the the opposite end partially open. With good ventilation you shouldn't need anything else. In mold prone areas (like showers) use Mold Armor.	prichardson	10/02/21 07:13am	General RVing Issues
RE: Figuring Mileages Use your GPS the way you are using Google. I would not use the route laid out by any GPS or other mapping program without doing a review of where it is sending you. Even with a GPS if you enter the whole route to get the overall distance and then later you run it in segments there will be differences in the results.	prichardson	09/27/21 07:31am	Roads and Routes
RE: Natchez to Abbeville Not sure how far down LA1 you plan to go since you are heading to Abbeville. I suggest that once you get to US190 you go west on it then to Lafayette on I49. The area below Plaquemine was hard hit by hurricane Ida. For eating - pick a local restaurant and you won't go wrong.	prichardson	09/22/21 07:43am	Roads and Routes
RE: Help troubleshooting TT AC airflow Right. The "dump" vent on the unit itself should be closed except when you want extra airflow in that immediate area.	prichardson	09/16/21 10:49am	Tech Issues
RE: Help troubleshooting TT AC airflow That is because you have increased the static pressure in the system to the point that the blower can no longer move the air. Keep all the registers open. If you have an area that has low airflow; first check that the register there is properly sealed to the main duct. In fact it wouldn't hurt to check all of them. Depending on how the duct work is laid out you may be able to add an additional register in the bedroom area.	prichardson	09/16/21 07:40am	Tech Issues
RE: cleaning 7-pin receiver connector on truck Fine emery board or if you are near your trailer, plug in and unplug several times.	prichardson	09/15/21 08:23am	General RVing Issues
