Re: Ram Cummins/Aisin Failures
As a previous owner of a 2007.5, 2014 and a 2020 Ram Cummins I do not plan to own any modern diesel again until all of the emission issues are figured out. With that said none of those trucks ever had any issues but I did spend a ton of time and money on maintenance and driving an hour out of my way to make sure that the DPF filters were clear.720Views0likes0CommentsRe: Keeping pets safe in travel trailer while “home alone”
We use the Marcell Pro cellular monitor that will call, text AND email me if the RV loses power or if the temps get above or below a preset level or if the humidity rises dramatically. It uses cellular service and not wifi so it will work ALMOST everywhere and does not rely on campground wifi which will be non existent in a power outage.

Thank You Doug! I had never known that. I learned something new today. dougrainer wrote: You take a TEMP compensated AMP draw of the compressor. VERY accurate. There is a Compressor AMP draw stated on the AC model label. THAT amp draw is based on 95 degree ambient temp. So, you subtract 1 AMP for every 10 degrees below 95 degrees. ADD 1 AMP for every 10 degrees above 95. Lets say the Rating is 12.2 amps for the compressor. It is 75 degrees outside. Subtract 2 amps. The Compressor after running a minimum of 15 minutes will draw 10.2 amps. IF lower, by more than 1 amp, you have lost part of the charge. IF 80 degrees subtract 1.5 amp, same test.

The CP4 issue has been way overblown in my opinion. Call your local dealer and ask them how many they have had to replace vs how many trucks they have sold. Also all HO trucks built after July 2020 have a revised symmetrical CP4 pump that may be a fix for those CP4 problems that did arise.229Views0likes0CommentsRe: Central Michigan campground this weekend FHU

I had this happen ONCE as well. As soon as I unhooked from the ball the camper moved hard right. The campsite pad was located just after a curve in the "driveway". I suspect that my axles had some twist in them from backing and turning. I should have pulled straight and then backed straight up to relieve the axle twist but I didn't. Lesson learned.960Views0likes0Comments
