RE: Order of operations

You probably have an owners manual that covers how to set up the trailer. If not call the dealer and ask for a review of the instructions. Good luck.

RE: How Many Miles in 2-Weeks?

If the 16 year old has a licence and you feel comfortable with him or her driving at least 3 of you will probably love the trip. There is no way you can make a better trip than what you describe. Go and enjoy the trip.

RE: Tires forTT

I did a search on hercules and found 12 post that basically said nothing about quality other than a dealer used them on his vehicles. Maxxis is rated as excellant. GoodYear has both good and bad reviews. It's hard to choose.

RE: Bent My Landing Gear - anyone else?

I had a simuliar problem and had to replace both legs. I could not find anyplace that would sell only one. I have come up with some lists of used RV parts dealers.

RE: Battery Sensor -- Accurate ????

I would get a good digital multimeter and check the batteries with one cable removed. Built in sensors are usually only a guide and if the above answer is any indication they are useless. 12.0 volts is basically a dead battery.

RE: Good battery???

I like Trojans. Many people have posted they have good luck with Sam's Club and Costco batteries.

RE: Rear Axle Differential Swap..Should we or not!!

A F150 is too small for the job you are using it for. Trade tow vehicles and get at least an F250 properly equipted for the job.

RE: Propane tank question

Is this tank a permanently mounted one under a motorhome? If it is take a trip to Camping World at 32nd and Youngfield or a Winnebago dealer. Good luck.

RE: Roof Sealer Options

If you don't have leaks leave it alone for at least another year. Depending on what is leaking Eturnabond Tape is great for sealing around vents and joints. You probably do not need to remove the old sealant if it is smooth and solidly stuck to the roof.

Wood Alcohol (Methanol) is available almost everwhere in the U.S. The price varies depending on the brand and the store selling it.

RE: Sam's Club 6 volt deep cycle

If you do a search you will find that there are only a few battery manufacturers, Johnson Controls is one, as is Trojan, and there are a couple of others, I did not have great success with Sam's Club batteries but maybe I stressed them by using an inverter. My Trojans have lasted 5 years but they also only had 1 year warrentees.

RE: Los Algodones

The store would probably prefer Mexican money but will probably accept any of what you describe. Depending on where you exchange the money you may save by payine with Pasos.

The TV and receiver do not know the difference between a sat cable or any other cable. Just use what you have.

RE: Tires rubbing underside of trailer

I would find a good RV shop and have the axles placed under the springs. They will take care of the necessary welding and insure that the axles are properly aligned. While you may be able to remove the axles and take them to a weld shop It is quite a job.

RE: radiator leak

Before you put anything on the leak do as Dr. Quick says and find a radiator shop. They may be able to repair it. If you put JB Weld or any thing of that nature on the radiator you may destroy the repair possibility.

RE: More Questions to my outlet outage.

It would help if you stated what model, year and make of motorhome you have, A call to the manufacturer may give you the answer to your question quickly. Another call to the chassis manufacturer may give you clutch information. NADA can tell you what clutches are available.

RE: Longer valve stems

The standard valve stems work fine for me. I inflate with a truck type chuck and check them with a truck type guage. I would think the longer stems would be more likely to break due to movement.

RE: Colo RV Boat Sports & Travel Show smaller and

Since many RV manufacturers are out of business there are also fewer dealer so it makes sense that the shows are smaller. My experience is that the dealers in the Denver area will deal just as well at their lot as at a show. The cost of being part of show like everthing else is increasing so some dealers are saving money by not attending.
