Re: Natural Bridges Natl Monument motor home friendly?
Thanks everyone for the excellent input. I wish there was an online resource that provided this detail for the National Parks & Monuments. I've started my own notebook that captures this info, though I realize it can change through time.443Views0likes0CommentsRe: Reliable Motorhome Service Near Indianapolis
Thanks everyone for the input. I heard that Modern Trailer provides good service; but when I called, they said they only service towables. I forgot to mention that Don Hinds Ford does provide good & timely service on my engine, but right now I'm having coach equipment issues. I'll try some of the other suggestions provided, and let you all know how it goes...thanks again!424Views0likes0CommentsReliable Motorhome Service Near Indianapolis
I'm looking for input on where to have some service done on my Class B. I've had good luck at Mt Comfort RV, but they are always scheduled out 2 months into the future. And sadly, I've had horrible experiences at Campingworld in Greenwood. I'm hoping to get insight into folks that do service work that aren't also RV retailers.2.1KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Kwikee Step Auto Deploys After Long Drive
Thanks everyone for the input; always thought steps were driven by house batteries, but knowing they are driven by chassis battery might well explain why this only occurs after extended driving. My screen is a funny slider type, and is always in open position while I drive. I'll examine where exactly the magnet is that drives the auto steps, though I'm pretty sure its on the outer door. Lots of good ideas, I'll try some out and will update this forum on my progress.591Views0likes0CommentsKwikee Step Auto Deploys After Long Drive
I've seen posts regarding steps that won't deploy; I have the opposite problem. After a long drive (more than an hour), when I come to a stop light, the motor home is still in Drive, my Kwikee auto step tries to extend but immediately retracts. If it's been a particularly long haul, it will do it multiple times. Campingworld couldn't figure out what was wrong, though charged me $129 anyway. My theory: Kwikee manual says that steps may operate erratically if the coach batteries are not fully charged. Note that the way my RV is wired, the coach batteries are not recharged by the engine alternator (not sure why, all my other rigs were wired differently). I'm thinking while I'm driving, I have a draw on the coach batteries...fridge & my GPS perhaps? Curious if anyone else has experienced this kind of thing with auto steps?3KViews0likes16CommentsCost to Outfit for Dinghy Towing
I'm looking into outfitting my Class B+ Phoenix Cruiser and 2010 Chevy Malibu for 4 wheels down towing. For the tow assembly, modifications to Malibu, and a braking system I was quoted $6,000. Quote was from a local RV retailer with a service department. That seemed quite a bit more than the sum of the parts. Curious what people have paid to outfit their rigs in a similar fashion?7.6KViews0likes24Comments
