    Hoist for hitch

    Since I can’t fit the truck in the garage (too much stuff + the wife’s car) I use a set of folding aluminum ramps and a dolly that converts to 4 wheels as needed. I use it in the 2 wheel position to load and unload and then set it down in the 4 wheel position to store the hitch. I thought about...

    winter campground, is texas warm enough?

    Depends on what “warm enough” means! No winterizing required is common even in the Houston area. Rig is at Lake Livingston and have not winterized this one or last one in 7 years. Most folks pull out as it is a recreational area but it is still close enough to Houston for a day trip. This is not...

    Cable hook up?????

    We have had cable hooked up for just over a year and everything was OK. Then the feed cable was mistakenly cut by the service tech and had to be repaired. Retuned the TV and got the 60 channels back. Then 2 weeks ago went to the RV and found we were down to 20 channels. Thought the park owner...

    Battery Goes dead over night

    I was going insane chasing my tail with batteries going dead and not being able to find the culprit. Bought the Augusta in March and by October had convinced myself that the dealer had installed “bad” or “old” batteries. Went out and bought 2 new ones and replaced them. By late December they too...

    washing/waxing your 5ver

    Like I posted in another thread I did mine by hand as well with the 3M wax. It may be difficult to find but most boat dealers carry it. I started out trying the 2 buffer method but quickly found out that it actually was easier and faster to apply with a terry cloth rag, wipe off with a towel...

    This is where we ordered all the blinds for the house and was very pleased with the service and delivery. http://www.selectblinds.com/wood-blinds.html

    Mitchell Guist

    I wonder how Glenn (Mitchell’s brother) will do without him around. I think they have lived together all of their adult lives if memory serves me correctly. Yes I too am a big fan of the show. When Troy Landry speaks if I close my eyes I can hear my Grandfather. RIP Mitchell.

    Got it waxed!

    One 16 OZ bottle. I had purchased a second one just in case but have not opened it yet. Probably will use it on the boat later this year.

    Got it waxed!

    Suprisingly 1 bottle did the whole rig. At about $30 per bottle I was skeptical but had a little left at the end.

    Got it waxed!

    This is what I waxed ours with: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Marine/Home/Products/Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECIE20S4K7000000_nid=GSQPSZNL4HgsH8PTZGX97RglGSJS11T0NCbl I used a cloth to apply it, light buffing with a towel and orbital buffer for final polish. I found out that...

    towing vehicle

    I have the 2010 2500 4X4 with the 6.7 and the pin weight on the Augusta is 2150# empty. This is about 250# more than my last 5er. I added the Timbren overloads before the first tow and pulled level. http://www.timbren.com/timbren-application-guides/application-pdfs/DR2500CA.pdf This took me...

    Sewer Smell at Front A/C

    We purchased the Landmark second hand from a dealer. I have read of this issue in several different threads but have not been able to find the thread that discussed the raising of the vent pipes AND the sealing of the A/C. This is only happening with the forward A/C and it could be prevented by...

    Sewer Smell at Front A/C

    Ok, I have a few questions regarding this subject. We have noticed the same issue with the forward A/C only and I have to get it fixed. First, has anyone found that one or the other fixes (seal the inside OR raise the vent pipes) actually takes care of the problem or is it a case that both MUST...

    Do I need air bags

    While I don’t really want to say I know my pin weight is over the load capacity I read about the Timbrens and bought a set. 10 minutes to replace factory stops and the truck surprised me. Did not squat at all and never really noticed the additional 200# on the pin. Now I am running a SRW 2500...

    Safety Inspections... Fellow Texans

    When we bought our RV I immediately noticed an inspection sticker on the side of the pin box. I asked the dealer about it and they told me it was in fact a law in Texas but little enforcement was being done. Apparently some agencies are more aware of the law and dealers are trying to comply but...

    dometic fridges

    In our previous 5er (SOB) we left the Dometic on ele for the better part of 6 years. Went out in November and caught fire when I tried to light off on LP. Dometic paid for a new cooling unit AND all labor for the repair. They have had their issues with some units from what I have heard but I...

    LP water heater only?

    Thanks all, I found the switch. It was in the lower left corner and upside down so that the on position was down.

    LP water heater only?

    Just recently purchased a gently used Landmark Augusta 38, VIN 5SFBG37229E202252. Did this unit have an LP only water heater originally installed at the time of manufacture? I have not located a switch on the external access panel for the WH and when the internal ELE switch is on have no hot...
