RE: chassis batteries drain - Beaver Patriot Thunder 2002
We have a 1997 Patriot and found the generator would drain the chassis battery when running and the inverter charging system was not set up to recharge the chassis batteries when plugged in. We added a Xantrex Echo Charger and it solved the problem.

RE: Ft. Wilderness Premium vs. Preferred
We stayed on a preferred site in the 300 loop last time and son stayed on a preferred site in the 500 loop. The remodeled preferred sites are much easier to back into for bigger RV's and have a wider concrete pad that extends back to the rear of the site. Cable is the same but there is a hook up for a cable modem for internet access but costs $10 per day.

RE: 05 Beaver-Does not acknowledge Honda 2000i Generator
Your generator probably has a GFI and the 50 to 30 plug adaptor will cause a GFI to trip.

RE: TVs in all the bathrooms, now I've seen it all!
TV set was on the weather channel in the shower when we stayed there.
We stayed on the longest site there. I would guess a 200 ft paved pull through with a concrete patio with table, porch type swing and clay fire pot. Along with cable, wifi was grassy and open and quiet for the location. Rate is actually reasonable for the area and ammenities and the management was very nice.

RE: Air Dryer Filters Replacement
wp4hj and Wolfe10 gave good advice.
The reman is a good idea if you do not havae a spin on filter (main) and colasing (small inside) filter. We had an older unit without the spin on feature and involved getting several O rings just right and requied a very clean work area. To get to our spin on requires the removal of the air and electric connections. We installed bullet electrical connectors to ease removal. Theses normally last a number of years so can take a lot of force to unscrew the large filter and it is on top of the housing.

RE: Rear Camera Replacement Access Point On Monaco Knight
We removed our camera and moniter and had them tested and found out it was only a dirty connection. You might want to clean the connections first.

RE: REBUILDING SEALAND TOILET
We have a Sealand in our '97 Patriot and have had trouble free operation since new. No rebuilds or anything. We just keep it clean.
Wipe the edge of the seal with a piece of TP fefore dumping or you can use a tooth brush (not the sme one you brush your teeth with). After dumping and as we pull out on the road or the last few hours before we get home or stop we dump the ice maker contents in the black tank along with the gallon of so of water we have already put in it. Cost is zero dollars and less tha 30 seconds of time.
We have done it over the last 25 years and 4 motorhomes (one 12 years) and never had a seal or holding tank problem.

RE: need a shower door - beaver
Beaver Ambassador Club Forum
Join and post your question. Someone may have been there and done that. Worse case a glass shop may want to replace the whole surround if you cannot find a replacement door glass which would be cheaper than having one custom made.

RE: RV Directories
RV Park reviews above is a good internet source but the Trailer Life is the most extensive. Buy it as a Good Sam member and you can get a "deal" of 50% off plus shipping of $4.00. If you have a friend you can get two with one shipping charge.

RE: Which Disney Park
We have been to Ft Wilderness 5 times so far this year. Where does your interests lie is the big question. The "Disney MGM" is now Disney Hollywood Studios as they have split. Epcot has "Soaran" at The Land that is hugely popular and out of fast passes by 1:00 PM. A non advertized tour of Epcot is on a Segway tour (but I do not know the minimum age) that is neat.
We park hop and are fortunate enough to be able to take our time to enjoy each one.

RE: RV Ceiling material
Most of the DP's we have looked at are going to vinyl ceilings. We have the hull liner mentioned above and it has lossened in some areas but is still OK. We have had it cleaned by a carpet cleaning service and it responded well. Vinyl seems like it would be easier to care for and you have more leeway if you want to do patterns.

RE: Savannah GA
We have stayed at Hilton Head a few miles North at the ORA Motorcoach resort. Or the Mariana if you have another type of RV. We then commute South to Savannah and Tybee Island and North To Beaufort and Hunting Island and even Charlston is under two hours. Campgrounds are deluxe.

RE: Disney in April?
We had a good time in January, April, May, twice in September and October this year may not go back till January. Each time is fun just some times its more crowded or hotter or both than others.
The Preferred sites in the 500 loop (pet friendly) are open and completed and very nice.

RE: Florescent Lights - 2001 Dynasty - source???
We had a problem with a Thin-Lite and removed the cover and found two small diodes (16 cents each) replaced those about 7 years ago and had no more problems. If the ballast is bad it is normally cheaper to replace the whole light. CW and other RV supply sell replacement lights and the paper specfications are on a seperate sheet of paper supplied by the light maker as Monaco may change brands mid year.
