Re: Trailer Battery not charging
rjxj wrote: It could be shorted but it may be that the battery is so dead that it keeps blowing it. Remove the cables from the battery and try a regular charger on it. Not good for the battery if it sat not plugged in. It may have sucked the battery down to nothing. Be sure the charger is unplugged when making connections at the battery. X2 Also make sure the cables are connected correctly (in case they messed with them)282Views0likes0CommentsRe: My turn for Delamination

Wow I took his comment as a shot to the manufacturers, sort of sarcastic, not at the OP. Also I thought he meant that it's a sad that some people finance these and have issues like this, by his "to think some folks finance this stuff. How very sad." comment. He even said he was "sorry, really sorry." So Idk why you guys are assuming he meant it all negatively at the OP? I don't consider myself a glass half full kind of guy either, but that's how I took it. What did I miss? Sincerely, not being sarcastic. Hell I'm even one of those guys that financed mine, I'm hoping I don't have serious issues like this, not sure it is more hope than I'd have it I had paid cash for it... vjstangelo wrote: There are plenty of articles on how to fix delamination. Likely culprits are windows and the roof penetrations. Eternabond tape and Dicor caulk will do wonders, also get a cover for when stored at home. My K-Z leaked at the rear corner due to a poorly installed roof at the factory. Since the unit was 5 years old, I knew K-Z would not fix, so I rolled up my sleeves, and did the fix myself. I agree with the above and would be how I'd tackle it.336Views0likes0CommentsRe: What's your RV's Name???

The vehicles are: 93 Dodge D350 (the TV) = Butch (she's a pretty tough girl) 69 Charger = Midnight (paint color) 01 Grand Marguis = Papa Merc (old man's car) 99 Dodge Van = Tanner (interior color)613Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012

Re: Thinking ahead re: back problems---UPDATE---
So sorry to hear of your issues. I blew out a disc and have been on worker's comp for over a year. During this time, my teenage boys have learned a lot and stepped up to the plate to help out and repair things, like car maintenance, house stuff, etc. It is hard for me to just verbalize what we need to do, and it's something I enjoy, so it's hard to just watch. So sometimes I get wrenched up doing things I shouldn't. I too scare people around me with my random groans and grunts. I had the fusion surgery, it helped but caused other issues. I do however feel better being 9 months post-op. I still can not walk far normally. I do better in stores pushing a cart, without it I don't last long. Some days I need to use the electric carts. As for driving, I have to frequently adjust my position, even as a passenger, but I do better as a driver. I think because of the steering wheel adding support and enabling me to pull myself better to re position. I would think with the GKs getting older, they can help out a bit with setting up and learn about it at the same time. I let my boys go off on their own for hikes and kayaking. Lots of times, the DW will join them. I keep my phone handy for questions and pics of things they think I'd like to see. Meanwhile I stay back and prepare meals and take life slow and easy. I push myself when I can on "good" days and rest up on the bad ones. We are all different, I'm 45, overweight and very much out of shape now that I had been laid up for over a year. I am slowly getting back to living again. Pain management is usually good, has been for me. There are options out there for people like you and I, besides narcotic meds. Perhaps a spinal cord stimulator. It's minimally invasive and 100% reversible. Also they do a trial period before committing to the full procedure. Perhaps some meds combined with therapies that are relatively safe, Gabapentin is one that has minimal side effects, there are others. I've been off the Percocet for quite some time since I started it after surgery. Prior to that I was on Norco, but it was pretty ineffective. I am unable to take anti-inflammatory (Nsaids) placing a large limit on effective meds for me. My pain management, monitors my blood for functions and effects of meds (IE Liver function, etc) and adjusts things as needed. Hopefully you will have good results with your Doctor. Best of luck and wishes for you and yours!422Views0likes0Comments
