A and E power awning won’t extend
Hi all, I have a dometic A and E weather guard power awning that will not extend. It goes out about three or 4 inches and then immediately returns to the stored position. The power light on the control panel is a solid amber light, no flashing. Chassis battery voltage is 12.6 and house batteries are 13.3. This awning has always worked fine but suddenly won’t extend. Any help anyone can offer will be much appreciated. Thanks, Jim638Views0likes1CommentRe: toll plaza selection on I-95 - MD to PA
Lantley-Only going to PA for a few months then headed west. Hate to get an EZpass for moho since I'll only take it thru toll gates enroute from MD to PA on I-95 and once more going out the PA turnpike. dbir-I figured the toll lanes were wide enough since I see semi's go thru but thought maybe only certain ones were designated for large vehicles. I'm in a class A so if I have to stretch little that's better than getting out! chief camper-If I lived here I'd get a pass for both car and moho but since my stay is only a few months I hoped the one EZpass would suffice but guess not. Thanks to all for your help. Jim643Views0likes0CommentsRe: toll plaza selection on I-95 - MD to PA
Thanks dbir and Lantley for responding. VA EZpass said I couldn't register the motorhome on the car EZpass because it's a different class of vehicle, the moho needs a separate transponder! So, guess i'd better plan to pay cash at the toll gates. Which brings up a couple of other questions about taking a class A moho w/toad thru the toll gates. Are all the I-95 Cash Only gates wide enough for the moho? Can I pay cash without exiting the moho and also can I reach down low enough to get a ticket entering the PA turnpike without exiting the moho? Sure would be a PITA to have to get out each time...:-( Thanks, Jim643Views0likes0CommentsRe: toll plaza selection on I-95 - MD to PA
Well Lantley, now you have me wondering if I should move the transponder from the car to the motorhome because when I called VA EZpass they said I couldn't register the moho on the same transponder as the car but needed another one for the moho. You mentioned "tag reader", is that the camera at the toll gate that takes the pic as you go thru? If that pic would see the rig and assess the proper toll that's great but I sure don't want to pay a penalty fine to boot! I'm new to all this, what do y'all think? Thanks, Jim643Views0likes0CommentsRe: toll plaza selection on I-95 - MD to PA
thanks dbir and z_g. I'll try moving the transponder from the car to the motorhome and see if they charge me correctly for both the motorhome and the car. Can I merely put the transponder on the dash of the moho up near the windshield for it to register, or does it have to be actually stuck on the windshield glass? Also, I'll be traveling on the PA turnpike(both I-476 and the main I-76) and I know it's system is to get a ticket when you get on and pay when you exit. But does it also have EZpass lanes you can just drive thru or do I need to stop and get a ticket? Thanks to all for the great help and advice.

JerryJay11, thanks for your response. I have the opposite situation, my car has an EZpass but the motorhome doesn't. I wonder if the EZpass camera would see the moho towing the car and charge accordingly? Since I'm leaving in a couple of days I don''t have time to get a pass for the moho and would only very rarely need it anyway since it's parked most of the time so I'm trying to avoid the hassle of having two EZpasses...;) Thanks, Jim255Views0likes0CommentsRe: toll plaza selection on I-95 - MD to PA
Hi burp man, thanks for replying. I'd like to do as you suggest but I called EZpass and they said I couldn't move the car transponder to the moho since it is a different class of vehicle as it has six wheels. Said I'd have to get another transponder for the moho and remove the one in the car or cover it with aluminum foil as you suggested to avoid being charged twice. :( Thanks, Jim194Views0likes0Commentstoll plaza selection on I-95 - MD to PA
Hi all, Traveling from Aberdeen, MD to Hatfield, PA, in a class A w/toad and am wondering which toll plaza gate to choose on I-95? I know there are two toll plazas on this route on I-95 and another on the PA turnpike. Have an EZpass on the car(towd) but not on the moho so assume will have to use a "cash" lane. Also, will the EZpass pay for the car or will I have to pay cash for both the car and the moho? Any idea what the tolls will be? Haven't taken the rig thru any toll plazas before so will appreciate advice from anyone on which toll gates to use on I-95 and and the PA turnpike(or can I just take any "cash" lane)? Thanks, Jim3.4KViews0likes22Comments
