Blue Tooth Electric Brake controller
I have a 40 ft Class A MH. I am going to pull a trailer with electric brakes. Curt makes the Echo mobile Trailer break controller that plugs into the 7-way plugin on the back of the coach and then you plug the trailer brake into that Echo Device. The device is managed thru Blue Tooth as an app on your phone. I am concerned if Blue tooth will have a strong enough signal when my phone is with me on the dash. Has anyone had any experience with this type of set-up?4.2KViews0likes17CommentsRe: towing Prius with tow dolly
My 2009 Prius is a front wheel drive vehicle. I have been told a Prius should not be towed even with the front wheels on a dolly because the hybrid battery will continue to charge and could create an over charge which would harm the battery. I then asked a certified hybrid car technician from Toyota if I could simply disconnect the hybrid battery. I found it to be fairly simple. He said, you should be able to dolly tow the car without disconnecting the battery as the rear wheels have nothing to do with charging the battery.507Views0likes0CommentsFreon leaking in chassis AC
I am having to recharge my chassis AC every year. My class A MH has been checked for leaks using the dye/black light method and the "sniffing method". No leaks were found. WE live in a cold winter climate. The technician tells me that the leak is very slow and will be very hard to detect. He believes that temperature of the Freon determines when the system will leak. When the Freon is warm, it maintains pressure in the system. There is some type of little valve that seals the line at some place in the system due to the maintained pressure. When the Freon is cold due to winter storage in an unheated shed, it does not maintain pressure and hence the little valve does not seal tight and the system leaks. Have any of you heard of this? The tech feels it is better to spend $50+ to recharge each year than go any further in solving the issue. What the thoughts of you who have experienced this.1.9KViews0likes8Comments
