Re: Using Side/Rear Cameras for Security
I'm not new to Rv and camping, have had one rig or another for 35 year and not generally paranoid but a place we boondock and ride our Atv's and have for the last 25 years seems to be not as safe as once was. A girl was shot out there a few weeks back. Just figured it would be a stealthy way to peek around the rig at night when things go bump.523Views0likes0CommentsReady Brute brake cable routing Fiesta
Hi all, I just had my 2017 Ford Fiesta set up to be towed 4 down using the Ready Brute towbar. Seemed like a simple solution for towing a light car. I had the install done at our local Rv dealer. I got the car towed home and noticed the brake cable doesn't return completely and is causing the brake lights on the car to be on. I don't think its pulling enough to actually apply the brakes but is not right regardless. The car is going back later in the week to probably have the cable rerouted. It's super tight in there and I think the cable needs to be more straight than it is routed. Is anybody using this towbar with a fiesta or a focus and have a pic or suggestions on how they routed the cable?1.3KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Used class a prices on rvtrader
This goes contrary to what I've read here but we looked for almost a year and ended up going new. Every dealer we looked at were selling new units for at least 20% below list price. Every used unit we looked at were basing their asking price off of the MSRP. I couldn't find anything cheaper used unless I started going 8 to 9 years old. We were looking at gas rigs so maybe the pushers were different Winnebago Vista 32YE $92K.377Views0likes0CommentsRe: Relocating the 50amp power cord

You might also install a twist lock receptacle in the wet bay and just use a cord with a twist lock end. a lot of coaches are setup this way. Probably be what I end up doing. Most of these are 30amp units and the cord is so much smaller it's probably not as much an issue but that 50amp anaconda is for sure a pain and I will end up with a busted crapper drain or something.502Views0likes0CommentsRe: Relocating the 50amp power cord

Nope generator is in the bay next to it and the other one is pretty far away in front of the rear wheels.497Views0likes0CommentsRelocating the 50amp power cord
I have a 2018 Winnebago Vista 32YE. I love the coach except for the location of the power cord. It's in the wet bay and barely fits and is a fiddle to get in after use. It's also tight up against all the dump plumbing. Something is going to get broken eventually. My thought was to cut the cord put ends on it like an extension cord and store it in another bay. Anybody seen or done it?2.8KViews0likes14Comments
