    RESOLVED: 120V AC Outlets stopped working (Defective Surge Guard)

    Re: 120V AC Outlets stopped working in multiple slides - Landmark Augusta Thank you, Danemayer. I was looking at options and read about Progressive, but don't have any experience with their products. They get excellent ratings on Amazon. The SurgeGuard was 9 years old and I like the...

    RESOLVED: 120V AC Outlets stopped working (Defective Surge Guard)

    Re: 120V AC Outlets stopped working in multiple slides - Landmark Augusta No generator prep. Yes, there is a cord reel. Plugged power cord directly into pedestal - no SurgeGuard - everything is working just fine. Looks like something is wrong with SurgeGuard. Appreciate the help!

    RESOLVED: 120V AC Outlets stopped working (Defective Surge Guard)

    Today we moved our RV about 1/4 mile to a new site in the same RV park. After getting set up in the new site, none of the 120V AC outlets would work in three slideouts - Kitchen (except the microwave outlet), Entertainment, and Living/Dining slide. All of them were working before we relocated...

    Gear Vendors

    GSGRAPE, I have had G/V installed on 2008 F450/6.4LDiesel/4.88 rear for 5 years. When it works, it's a dream!! I calculated about 30% improvement in MPG with mine engaged. The only thing I would caution about is towing with the G/V engaged. When I bought mine, G/V said it is good for...

    A big no no......warning

    Hate to hear about your experience - glad nobody was injured. During lot's of towing with a new roll-top cover, the pull strap would flop around in the turbulence until it finally broke the hook (not the strap.) It caught my attention when the strap started slapping the back window -...

    Pre-Nashville 2010 Mini-Rally & Convoy

    Gus - Thanks! Something unexpected came up with our college student daughter and we had to leave for Nashville yesterday. So, we hooked up the rig and headed west to see her. We made it to the Cumberland Mountain State Park off I-40 Exit 322. It's a beautiful campground. We called KOA...

    Pre-Nashville 2010 Mini-Rally & Convoy

    Boat to 5er: Do you have a planned departure time from Baileyton on Wednesday, July 14th? Pam & I live 25 minutes from this park, which we stay at frequently and enjoy. We will be heading to Nashville on the 14th and may consider joining the caravan. Also, there's an incredible country...

    Water Pump Pressure

    Open the Arteries on Water Pump to let it Flow! I had similar disappointing water flow when using our water pump in the Landmark. It has a 5.7 GPM pump with sensor flow control, but it ran full throttle all the time and delivered poor pressure and volume in the kitchen. I made two...

    Antenna information

    Thanks for sharing that. Just thought I would admit that I've done the same thing, thought the Wingman would add some range to our rig's reception when traveling to less populated areas out West this summer. I too, returned the unit to the retailer after a short, disappointing climb up to the...

    Direct TV Dish

    We have DirecTV in our rig, too. We use a KVH dish mounted on the roof. If you are inclined to use your home receiver(s) in your RV, I suggest Cookie's approach with a 5LNB slimline dish. If you want HD reception - and who doesn't when the rig's have HD capable TVs? The 3LNB that comes with...

    TV Commercial Rant...

    The only good thing about these high volume commercials is that they provide us with a 'wake-up' notice if for some reason our attention has waned while watching the primary program? LOL

    Docking Station Drain

    While we own a Landmark, I've noticed that there is not caulk around the UDC bottom opening which allows any stray water to drain from the floor quickly. Your Sundance may be similar. Sorry to hear about the behind the wall leak. We had ours in for some service and apparently the technician...

    6.4L - Sounds like a Helicopter

    UPDATE: Helicopter Sound After a listening ride with a mechanic, he describes my helicopter sound as: 'Turbo Bark.' He says it is the turbo turning so fast that it is causing cavitation in the turbo due to lack of air (I had this happen with a power boat propeller before but hadn't thought...
