RE: fridge cooling

over night will be fine but I am one of those guys who do not travel with the fridge on. I use little reusable ice packs to keep the unit cold. haven't had any thing spoil yet. I used to be a fireman and I have fought some fires because of the fridge running. One guy gassed up with his going and the propane flame started the gas fumes to burning. That was one of many I went on. So you might say I learned from other peoples mistakes

RE: generator question

RE: A bad day camping...

nothing will get my dander worked up than have someone give my site away to another person. Like Seinfeld said in one of his shows, they know how to take reservations, just don't know how to keep them. Offer you a refund, plus gas money plus paying for your new site just for good PR, you know. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

RE: Toilet drip when flushing

you should be able to get a new valve, look to see what model and brand you have and take that info to your dealer and hopefully they will have the part. be advised, they are not cheap. I will say between 30 and 50 dollars.

RE: Sewer Question

personally I wouldn't use the awning tie downs, if you leave for a hike per se, the wind may come up and rip the awning right off the side of the TT. if you are at the TT and the wind comes up, just roll up the awning and safe yourself some grief and money for that matter.

RE: Rope Lights for awning

buy the ones wal mart have and they are a lot cheaper than CW sells them for. they usually have them with the Christmas tree lights. you might have to wait for them to come back into season

RE: Having generator problems got a few questions.

put a soft start in the A/C and it will not burden the generator so much

RE: Did I choose the wrong gear ratio 3.73?

you living back east is not a problem when it comes to pulling over the small hills. Now if you were living out west then yes you made a mistake. 4.10's would be a better choice. that stuff you guys call mountains back east are just rolling hills to us.

RE: electric tongue jack

This is just my opinion, but my barker lasted 20 years plus. The only reason I got a new barker is I bought a new TT and wanted a new jack. I highly recommend the Barker jacks.

RE: Help with how to

I have used rat tailed files and of course the grinding wheel on a drill is much faster. just keep checking to see if the jack will go through, no need to take to much off the hole. if you take too much off the jack will move and you will have too much movement in the TT when camping. the jack will wobble in the large hole.

RE: Painted my trailer tongue .... warning. Lots of pics!!

thanks a lot! You have gone and done it. You have shamed me, now I am going to have to paint mine. Or would it be easier to just trade it in before I get too far ahead of myself??

RE: It happened again!

you are doing your pull test with the landing gear too high. I would try it with them in a lower position
