Re: Ideas on places to visit in Pennsylvania
Dick_B wrote: If you don't get enough ideas from this Forum do a Google search for `________tourism' and put Pennsylvania or a city of interest in the blank space and read what the specialists recommend. For a 10 year old I'd look for the closest theme park with lots of rides... Ofcourse I can search from google but folks here will wealth of information and I can be interactive with thoughts and ideas. Hope you did something also this long weekend taking out RV.

I have been trying to take different electric scooters, Ninebot mini pro etc and was not satisfied for my running around and sightseeing 5 or 10mile radius especially on hot days. I finally took a plunge on to OJO electric scooter which has a range of 25 miles on a charge and 20 miles max speed is good compromise. I had a aluminum motorcycle carrier which worked out perfect for me. It weighs only 65lbs, only bummer is it does not fold. I made a video of it you can see my review on it. https://youtu.be/j2F7HfChwKI Enjoy and ask me any questions you have Smokey 2012 view 24j3.1KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Toad and auxiliary brake stop and go testing

Any inputs are appreciated. Smokey we call that a "light check". the wife sits behind the wheel of the MH and I stand back behind the toad. using walkie-talkies we test everything...brake lights, turn signals, 4-way flashers and tail lights...ensuring that each functions correctly on both the toad and MH. she then pulls the MH/toad forward a few feet to ensure that the toad wheels are turning freely. this is always the next to last thing we do before leaving a campground or park (the final thing being a final walk-around the MH and campsite). and we may do it again depending on where we stop for lunch on a travel day. there's no right or wrong way to do it or a rule on when and how often you need to do it other than a daily check before you break camp. if it makes you comfortable to check it more often then by all means do it. I know that when we first started to tow back in 2003 I did it everytime we stopped for more than a few minutes...nervous, I guess. but over time I've become comfortable towing...comfortable but not complacent. every now and then when we're doing our 'light check' I discover a problem. that's happened often enough after 14-yrs of towing to keep me from becoming complacent. Thanks for your reply my question was more towards do I need to retest the auxiliary brake system, e.g. If I stop for lunch or bathroom brake.

Hello All, I purchased full Tow vehicle Roadmaster braking system , I have everything figured out but there is this brakeway switch connected to brake controller box and there are four wires come out of the box, two of them are already wired properly to switch but there are two suppose to hookup to battery terminals. I want to make sure I connect positive and negative properly. There is red and white wire coming out, Red I hope is positive and white is negative. I also heard that it doesnot matter what wire you connect to positive or negative. Can some confirm please, I am posting the pictures. Thanks in advance1.5KViews0likes5Comments
