    Ltx ms2 a Michelin drop!

    I bought a set of Yokohama Geolander a/t a year ago. Really rate well on snow, ice, and wet. Quiet! Wearing well so far, but not a huge amount of miles. WB

    Cold water flow ok, hot water missing

    My bet is a piece of debris in a check valve in the hot water line near the faucet. Had thaat problem on both at the kitchen sink when trailer was 6 yrs old - wood chips. WB

    truck mods

    Yes I have. They effectively shorten the rear axle travel. IMHO - for towing first class equipment is far better when all aspects are considered. If you try air bags on your truck you will never go back - I promise. As I stated before - there is a reason the bags are the solution of choice...

    Purchaser outside state

    Most states have a "temp" plate good for 15-20 days for a modest charge. Your agent may be able to give you a temporary "Binder" of coverage until your registration is done. Don't let the dealer charge NY Sales tax. It's rediculous! WB

    truck mods

    Air bags are adjustable for different loads. Perfect for on-off with a trailer. Just leave 5 lbs of air in them when not loaded. Timbrens are not adjustable qnd make the truck ride substandard qt best. Air bags do cost more but there is a reason they are the goto for our Heartlland owners...

    One last item to check - the vent in the fuel cap - if the gen sucks a vacuum it will die after a few minutes or worse. WB

    Leak under refrigerator and air intake

    Disconnect the host from the drain tray and blow through it with your mouth. You can feel if any restriction or hear if there is a leak or if in doubt dump water through it with a tiny funnel. WB

    2018 Bighorn traveler mattress

    We put a residential queen in ours. It is a "Personal Comfort" dual zone air adjustable - like a sleep number but less than 1/2 the price. Love it! Would buy again. On sale we paid under $700 delivered 3 years ago. WB

    Hi Janet, Please let us know your opinion on the tank heaters. I've had them in my "Cart" for a while but am sitting on the fence. Please also include price and source info if you don't mind. Thanx! WB

    Screen Door Handle Reinforcement

    The reason it broke is primarily because that is a left hand hinged door latch and it's on a rt hand hinged door. I have two just like it - both broke. (I inherited them when I bought a used Cyclone) I just replaced with the ones for a Rt Hand hinge and the outer plate is MUCH thicker and...

    Propane Flow Problem

    One other thought? How cold was it last night? My Cyclone will not always light when it gets down to the low-Mid 20"s - usually happens in the wee hours. If there is ice on the outside of the bottle when the unit doesn't fire, the problem may just be low propane pressure due to temperature...

    My nightmare began in April

    IMHO.....This type of roof issue can almost always be explained by the factory installers not using enough glue between the Luan and the Rubber membrane-or by letting it dry waaaay too long. Either way it's a mfg defect. Even if you just have the bubbles glued down - not a bad solution - it...

    Brake Help Needed

    IMHO...I'd bet that the slack adjuster was in backwards or for the wrong side (One of the reasons that there is a Left and Right side assemblys) causing the adjuster to tighten up a little bit every time the brakes were applied. Not unheard of. Factory and DIY people have both been known to...

    Wrong roof caulk or just poor product?

    Looking to buy

    IMHO...Spend the money for a Cyclone or at a minimum a Road Warrior - IF you can find a floor plan in these that fits your needs. You will be glad in the long run - there is a reason these models have beter resale values. WB

    Where can I get Slide wiper seal for a 2018 North Trail

    IMHO...The best slide rubber protector is "303 Aerospace Protectant" Works for anything plastic or rubber and decals so I pretty much use it all over my Cyclone to protect from UV damage from the Sun. I use about a bottle a year in spray form - buy from Amazon. It even helps my EPDM Rubber...

    Screws breaking

    Be sure to squirt a little caulk in the screw holes before putting screws in. This is a common water entry point otherwise. And also remove and caulk all screws on all door and compartment frames. WB

    Bones Gateway 3650BH

    Congrats on the new rig Bones. Hope all goes well with it - with your experience, I'd expect it to. As Jerrod said - "You better stick around" - We've all invested too much time getting used to your humor to have to start over with a "newbie Bones" - shudder to even think of that LOL!!! See...

    Ut oh!

    I had a total knee replacement a couple of years ago. Getting my muscles in shape around it made recovery hugely faster and easier on the patient! Ride a bike (No -The other kind-Bicycle) as much as posible until surgery. Less impactr than walking / hiking on your damaged one. Good Luck! WB

    Rear generator rack

    I would only consider this if it is a very small/lightweight generator. Anything heavy is going to mess with tongue weight and a lot of other things you really do no want to learn about. Just MHO. WB

    Hot Skin And Grounding

    I grew up in the South in an area with LOTS of lightening. We were taught to turn everything that used A/C power off, and unplug, during lightening storms. Most folks in our area employed this successfully so Sherry and I still practice this to this day - At home as well as camping. WB

    Replacing the bathroom fan. An adventure.

    I have installed a MaxAir vent cover over both of my Fantastic fans. Gives the all weather capability and only $50 something each. Worked great in all weather for over three years and easy to swing away for cleaning(only did that once so far but don't tell anybody, LOL. Install was about 15...
