Indiana reached the century mark today, with a heat index of 115 to 120. Staying in the mid to upper 90's through next Monday. Might drop to the upper 80's for a couple of days, then back to the lower nineties. Hasn't rained for a couple of weeks. Even camping isn't fun in this heat...

Two years ago I checked with Maxxis and they wanted around $190 each at that time. I went to the nearest Discount Tire store and they ordered them and got them for $135 each. Got the valves replaced and balanced. Replaced the Mission tires.

Re: Need clarification on leky toilet About one year ago after I got my BH out of storage, I replaced both the floor and middle seals. The year before (09) is when I noticed water starting to leak from the toilet bowl. Then last year when I first applied water pressure to clear out all of the...

In the middle of Indiana it's ranging from $3.19 at Murphy's to $3.29 at Marathon. I've also seen news reports that by summer it will be above $4.00. We'll wait and see.

Late last year I realized that I had a problem with the refrigerator which is in a slideout. The temperature inside the refridge hovered around 40 degrees. I was told to disconnect the thermistor, which I did and turn on the refridge and leave it one for several hours. If the refridge section...

This happened to me last October. Took the landing gear down and found the right side stayed up. Found both the bolt and the nut. Took the left side back up, replaced the bolt and nut, made sure it was tight and placed some silicone on them. Workes fine!

Couple of years ago I lost the lens to the step light. I called Heartland and they did not carry the lens itself, but I could buy the complete light (housing, bulb, and lens). That's what I did. I placed the lens on the housing and kept the rest in the box just in case.

As you can see on my signature, my unit is four years old. So far it's been a good one. This year I had a couple of problems with the toilet. First the bowl itself wouldn't hold water, Then water started coming out from the base. Found both seals worn. Dometic sent me the seals and both are...

Glad I found this, since this is the first time that I've got this problem also. And I agree that the heat wave we've been having is a contributing factor to this problem. The half gallon of bleach just might solve the problem. As far as using a drain cleaner in the P traps, might have to find...

I made the PVC setup couple of years ago after having the same problem, same as Cookie's pic. Three years ago we were up in the U.P. of Michigan during a windy day, and it kept "flopping" and was real noisy inside. The setup works with both problems. Easy to make. Just don't glue the parts...

I remember seeing that rig on the show "RV Crazy". They put a lot of work into that. They are lucky that the good Lord warched over them and walked away from it. From the way the pictures looked, it could have been worse. You never know on the open road. One mistake by someone can ruin a...

I got rid of the analog thermostat last year and replaced it with the Hunter digital. There was one part of the instructions I had last year which I questioned where it stated "One switch wire is soldered to the base of terminal G on the back of the circuit board." I didn't want to place a...

This happened to me last October after we pulled into a campground. Noticed the right side wasn't coming down. Never had that happened before. Bill is right! Found both the nut and bolt, evened the landing gear back up and tightened everything up. Learn something new every time. I do check this...

Bill, I'm glad I'm not the only one that has that problem. The bad part is I've also got apartments across the street. You never know who moves in and out of them. Tonight a woman was chasing her kid down the street and cussing up a storm. I've got a double drive where I can park the complete...

There's nothing wrong with being paranoid. I agree with Ray. After 33 years of being in law enforcement, I wouldn't stay in a WM lot overnight either. Even with all the camera equipment they have monitoring the lot, some people will do anything and everything to get their hands on anything...
