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!!

We will be stopping for a one night on the way to Disney next month at Savannah RV Resort @ Red Gate Plantation, (http://www.savannahredgaterv.blogspot.com/), just to check out the place, then after Disney a couple of days wind down at Jekyll Island...

You know I watched it again, and can't help but think how much that tow vehicle look's like Jim Beletti's ! Could it be? Would have made a great commercial for Heartland !

Mine was replaced under warranty last year due to water also. It turned out to be the horizontal seams leaking . The front cap had been re-caulked earlier, and water still got in. Since replacement and new caulk, all has been well, so far! I also heard that water can get in when towing on rainy...

My best guess it's just for the adventure. What some Heartland owners will do to reach a campsite. Got to give him an "ataboy" for his tenacity. Bet it was a great weekend! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAC4s1v8gDU&feature=related

After I made my post I looked up the J-35. This was a post from the Diesel Truck Resource web site: " EMISSIONS RECALL J35 REPROGRAM ECM – REGENERATION STRATEGY Dear: (Name) Chrysler has determined that some 2007 through 2009 model year Dodge Ram 2500/3500 trucks equipped with a 6.7L diesel...

It sounds as if the J-35 flash is leaning out the mixture somewhat if there are higher engine temps, and better mileage. Any effect on performance? Also they, by leaning the mixture, could be reducing the amount of sooting in the turbo, thus eliminating the "turbo lag" engine fault some...

Shocks doing their job. Most of us with these large fifth wheels have the shocks mounted at such a steep angle by the factory, that they couldn't be working as they should, putting most of the bounce, (and stress) on the tires. Therefore reducing the margin of error on load capacities on the...

JohnDar I'm like you. My Freestars, (build code 4507), stayed at pressure, look good, springs still have shape, and u-bolts have remained tight. Although I can't help but think the rust on the nuts helps. I only have had to pack the bearings due to the lack of lube originally put in. I wonder...

I'll never forget that infamous saying, "I'm gonna beat the tar out of you boy!" ........just as the belt came off!

Had the Freestars balanced today, and the DGF and I will have to flip a coin to see who sacrifices what for the weight gain due to all the tire weights added. She say's I'll have to leave some beer at home. I've never seen that much in weights added to tires. By the way , this was the first...

Remembering how bad traffic can get on I-4 in and around the Orlando area, I am contemplating going further south on I-95 towards Titusville and taking the 528 toll rd. and also using the 417 toll rd. straight into Disney. Toll costs are said to be $7. Has anyone else used this way around...

Just some food for thought, while troubleshooting my converter behind the basement wall I did discover a ground loop that had come loose from the bug on the chassis. This would have disconnected the grounds for whatever area of the trailer it fed. I hadn't noticed anything wrong, but I'm sure...

Unfortunately the closest beach camping as SouthernNights said, is Edisto, or back north towards the Myrtle Beach area. James Island Park, (http://www.ccprc.com/index.aspx?nid=68) is a great great place if you can get a site, and is the closest to downtown Charleston. The beaches (Folly Beach)...

debh- From what I understand reservations should be made 6mos. in advance. I got lucky I guess, and called them 2wks ago. But them again that's 5mos. Maybe the economy is holding some folks back. I pray they don't loose my res. I've been hearing that the new changes in sites have made most of...

I too am glad to hear the park re-did the sites. My last camping trip there was 25 yrs. ago in a SOB MH. Like Wharton said, they were tight! I can't wait to take the grand daughter this Oct. I hear Halloween is a fun time there! From what I understand, if you tell them your rig size they will do...

Dodge lists the 2010 Cummins turbo 6.7L @ 350HP, 650 ftlbs torque @ 1500rpm. Same as my 2008. No DEF required! I understand that Dodge Chassis Cab Cummins will have the DEF system. The Heavy Duty 2500/3500's do not. Proven engine with lot's of pulling power, why mess with it! As long as they can...

What a trip down memory lane! Childhood memories of climbing those gun towers, especially down near Indian River. In those days there was nothing but beach and a couple of parking lots. We used to tent camp there. From the look of one of your pictures, they look to be building a highrise bldg...

ct0218---We are planning an early fall trip to your area this year and I'm wanting to know what your hometown suggestion for a good, quiet, roomy, full hookup CG in that area would be? Don't mind a little day time traveling. Haven't been up there in awhile, and have always loved the NC...

JohnDar that might be it. I haven't thought of that but now that you mention it, the roof is dotted all over with small gray spots that came after this spring. We had an early and heavy spring this year, plus I guess the sap from last fall was no help also. Camped under pines last year several...

Have for the last few days been doing the "spring cleaning" thing. Roof clean and treatment, wash and wax. Noticed while on the roof that when I opened the slides the top seals seemed to be stuck to the flanges on the slides. The largest slide even pulled the seal partially out of it's track...

Congrats!! Your also going to love the way it tow's. That 6.7 is a stump puller!!

As much as they didn't work as well as expected, and were discontinued, you can still buy those little buggers "for display purposes only". Yeh right!!

Jim B-- Sorry I haven't learned how to quote just a section of a post yet.

Sounds fun. I've shot clay pigeons as a youth but nothing in many decades. No longer own any long guns. But hey, if I can pick them out of the air with my Sig P229, I'm good to go Seriously, sounds like fun if someone cares to make any arrangements and is willing to share their shot gun...

Never thought this thread would start here, but boy am I pleased at the responses! Seems a lot of us carry and transport our personal choice for protection, but I wonder how many have given thought to following penetration of those pistol rounds out beyond the intended target. Camper walls are...
