Re: Stove cover
Mean Jeanne wrote: Hmmmmm, well please don't stress yourself too much; my post wasn't about the history of ownership of Roadtrek/Hymer and who went into receivership when...I'm just looking for measurements of a particular part. Thank you Mike My post has nothing to do with any of that. As far as I know, Roadtrek is owned by Hymer, but still operates the way it has for decades. They were never owned by anything called Zion. I have a hard time figuring out your question when you don't seem to know what you're talking about. You are a brand new member throwing a bunch of 'facts' around and asking a weird question. This is how to reach Road Trek: https://roadtrek.com/contact-us/1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Handling home office equipment - hanging files
Railronnie wrote: We are spending several months at a time in our RV. I have tried numerous ways of keeping personal files. My hanging files jump off the rails while traveling and fall down into any file drawer, file box or file container I have tried. Anyone have a hack for keeping the files ON THE RAILS? I have seen hacks with clips to keep them from sliding, but I want them to STAY ON THE RAILS. Any ideas??? In all seriousness, go paperless. No need for any papers to reference. I have papers that I file away for records (mostly just taxes, but even most of that is digital), but I don't have any papers that I need to reference, it's all digital.930Views0likes0CommentsRe: Stove cover
Mean Jeanne wrote: I did. They've been bought out by Zion and suggested I call one of the dealerships...who told me they have nothing on/for roadtreks that old. Who's been bought out? Roadtrek? Who is Zion? Roadtrek has a model named Zion, is that what you're thinking? Roadtrek is owned by Groupe Rapido. I'm confused.198Views0likes0CommentsRe: Offline navigator for Android phone (BC Canada)?
If you can't use the full Google Maps app, then what device are you using? Perhaps buy a cheap, old used Android phone. You can use this with wi-fi only, you don't need a cell plan. Perhaps you may even know someone that has an old phone sitting in a drawer (I probably have 2 or 3). Configure it with a free gmail account. Connect it to wi-fi, download maps for the area you need, and then you won't need to connect to wi-fi.834Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class B for 3 adults?
T. Anderson wrote: Is there a Class B that will comfortably sleep 3 adults? Or am I dreaming and should be looking for a C? The Winnebago ERA 70A/170A very much fits your requirements. There are a lot of nay-sayers on here that interject their opinions and biases rather than just answering a legitimate question. In my OPINION, there are MANY different things to consider when choosing between a B and a C. It's the difference between buying a sports car and an SUV. They are VERY different RVs.642Views0likes0CommentsRoadtrek CS Adventurous Explorer Package
The literature states that the Explorer Package includes: EcoTrek® 800, Solar Panel 470w, Diesel Hydronic Heating System, Induction Stove, 2nd Inverter, Underhood Generator and Screen Package Does anyone know if this means that the propane tank is eliminated? I don't know what they'd run off propane, if they still included a propane tank. However, it doesn't state that it eliminates the propane tank. Thanks!708Views0likes0CommentsRe: How do You mount/cover your Portable Generator?
bpounds wrote: I think most people would avoid handling power cords in the rain, whether it is shore power or a generator. But there is always that one guy... Someone above mentioned that the Honda will run okay in the rain, and as far as I know that is correct. Mine got caught uncovered when the rain came up, and although we were in camp, for whatever reason I did not go out and rescue it. It ran fine, but it made a big mess, including sand up in the feet and base plate area. I'm still hauling that sand around in the basement, and it just keeps rattling more out. So safe or not, I don't want to leave my Honda out in the rain. You obviously don't live in the Pacific Northwet. If we didn't do anything in the rain, we'd be indoors 200 days a year. Yeah, I handle power cords in the rain. I use power cords that are insulated; the only exposed copper is on the prongs. I'd be much more concerned about the questionable soils that you have than the rain. I use mine mostly for tailgating. The generator sits on asphalt. I have it attached to external fuel tanks. I'm fortunate enough that I can stay in my RV all weekend for Washington State football games. I turn my generator on Thursday evening and turn it off Sunday morning. Sun, rain, snow, it doesn't matter. It runs for about 60 hours, straight, for every football game. My EU2000 has been running like a champ under this usage for scenario for 15 years. I change the oil once a year. Other than sand in your generator (maybe you should put it on some kind of block?), what other "mess" did it make? You stated: 'including sand...', that implies that something else got messy. What?639Views0likes0Comments
