Re: awning rolling up, arms and supports not aligned
First thing to do is to measure the amount of tube exposed with the awning extended. Both ends should be about the same. If not the awning needs to be pushed/pulled until the measurements are equal. This can easily happen if the awning has been out during high winds. It happened so often on a previous 5th wheel I owned that I put a small sheet metal screw in each end of the slot to hold the awning in place.574Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water heater, anode rod, electrolysis, and teflon tape
It is often stated on RV forums that you should not use Teflon tape on the anode rod threads as it could interfere with the electrical contact. While it may be often stated I have yet to see one that wasn't rapidly corrected. Everyone makes it too complicated. A voltmeter set to ohms will quickly prove that there is still continuity with the use of tape. you are dealing with microvolts so it takes very little contact.2.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Jacks During Storage ??
I don't know what system you have but the following is from the HWH FAQs: 54. Can I store my coach with my jacks extended? Yes, this will not hurt the system. 55. How long can I leave my coach parked with the jacks extended? As long as you want. We recommend operating the system occasionally if possible. 56. Do I need to do any maintenance on the jacks or slide-outs while the vehicle is parked with the jacks and slide-outs extended? There is no necessary maintenance for the jacks or slide-outs while the vehicle is parked. If desired, WD-40® can be used on the jack rods right before storing the jacks if dirt has collected on the rods. Refer to the following link for jack maintenance information ml47149.pdf. 57. If I’m parked for a month or two, should I occasionally operate my system? Yes, it is good to operate the system occasionally but it is not required.521Views0likes0CommentsRe: Nascar at Richmond Raceway VA
I don't want to disagree with ford truck guy. There is a dump station in the main campground. I have been camping there since 1988. The dump station is at the end of the 400s row. Or in other words as you come in the main campground, go straight ahead it will be on your right. A row of Porta Potties will be right beside it.457Views0likes0Comments
