Much has been said about the accuracy of the tripping point of some home breakers, even brand new ones. Stories of 20 amp breakers not tripping until well past 40 amps. This now makes me wonder how accurate these older weather exposed pedestal breakers in many campgrounds are, and whether there...

Do all other propane appliances work good, or could there be a problem with a regulator? Lite the stove or a burner and see if it will remain on for the same time period. Just a thought.

I carry this one; (http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/air-compressors/2-hp-4-gallon-115-psi-pancake-compressor-95499.html), as well as a 12V 150psi. Only problem is that Honda 2000W gen. wont start it if I don't have the 120v power. Time to get the second generator! I seem to depend mostly...

Mike-Oak Plantation (http://www.oakplantationcampground.com/), is a good clean campground to base camp from if you are visiting the Charleston area. Too many speed bumps though. It is a ways from Rt. 95, but if traveling hwy 17 south from the Myrtle Beach area and you don't mind the traffic and...

We chose the 3500RL because of the room and comfort. I tell the CG that I'm 40 ft. and so far I've been lucky except for a "garage of trees" on Jekyll Is. Ga. Couldn't use the awning. Even the notorious tightness of Fort Wilderness at Disney worked out to my surprise. Access for parking is what...

My Dodge dealer told me that they had done a lot of recall inspections on the tie rod issue, and mine was only the second one they had to re-build. I was told the issue was with the clamps or U-bolts in the tie rod-drag link areas. The problem was they could "break" or "come loose", causing a...

aatauses, I too have a Husky and I'm wondering what the stressing was on your overhang that was caused by your hitch. Maybe this is something I need to look into. I have noticed some side to side movement of the cap area that is different than the pin box, or cover, while driving, but I assumed...

I have to agree with GOTTOYS my 08 is avg. 11.5 up and down the east coast this last trip with a combined gross at 23K. I also have 3.73 gears, and the truck, even though it knows the weight is there it handles it without breaking a sweat and hums along around 1700 rpm's around 65mph.. I love it!

Even my Freestar's have that scrubbed look on the outer edges. They are kept at pressure and have had their share of tight turning lately but seem to be doing good. They catch my eye all the time, thinking something is wrong, but the temps have been good. I'm running heavier than usual, (around...

Yes I did mean I-95, and thank you! Great sites to have bookmarked on the lap-top.

Has anyone traveled southbound 95 from South Carolina to Florida lately? I'm looking for a construction report, and things to be aware of. Were heading out next week. Thanks.

Pure silicone spray, or Aerospace 303 protectant. I had a problem with my slide seals sticking to the slide and pulling out with the slides. Someone on this forum recommended the silicone and all is well so far. It might bring them back before you have to replace them.

If your looking for him, he's with me right now. I sent him on a mission to get me some new tires and suspension for my BC before next month!! Somehow I don't think he's worth a darn!

So sorry to hear about the explosions. I'm wearing out my mirrors in fear of the same. Check out this site, the prices don't seem too bad for replacement wheels. http://www.trailertiresandwheels.com/site/1284278/page/45029. I have the 7K axles w/235 85 16 G rated (bombs), and the rim is a 16x7...

Some get a gold watch when they retire, but this is the surprise I got from my co-workers, a couple of which are in the pic. Shame it won't fit in the truck while we are camping! Designed by myself and a co-worker a long time ago and built by my co-workers to specs. Great guy's!!
