Re: Best route from Salem, Oregon to West Valley City, Utah?
I too don't want to be Debbie Downer, but I would just drive to UT and leave the TT in Salem. But if you want to tow the TT maybe you drag somewhere for a week-end trip and see how the TV does and how you do. As far a route I would take US 20 thru Bend to Ontario then the freeway into Utah. Just my .02. Good luck on whatever you do.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Total outdoor flame device ban Oregon SP
Don't know of any fires started by a BBQ, but I do know that we have had lots in our area that have been started from camp fires and some may be from an arsonist? These are under investigation. Several are from a wind storm that toppled power poles, burning homes and businesses. Loss of live from these fires also. Where I live we have a fire that started (under investigation) Sep 7th at 10:30pm is now around 5000 acres and 6 miles from town. Have only had very limited resources due to the Oregon fires burning homes but today we are finally getting some help.343Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mercedes Sprinter chassis DEF
Did you take it to a Dealer? I had the same thing happen on ours only I had just under 80,000 miles on it. Some states cover the exhaust system longer than others, and since I could not get it fixed soon I called MB. I just wanted to know if indeed it was not covered as the Dealer said. Two days later I received a phone call from a manager at MB and he gave me a one time 40% discount on replacing the DEF Heater. Best phone call I ever made and it might work for you also.265Views0likes0CommentsRe: How is Hey 22 through the Ochoco mountain pass in Oregon?
Me I like back roads more than the freeway. One back way is leave I84 @ Caldwell, go thru Nyssa, OR and @ Vale, OR either take US 26 thru the Ochoco mts to Redmond, then Sisters. OR take US 20 to Bend. US 26 will be cooler than US 20. From Sisters there is a several mile climb then it is all down hill to Salem. If you have the time I would take US 26, there is an Oregon State park just past John Day, first come first served, no reservation, or you just use the free dump station too. Just my .02 - We just got back from the southern Oregon coast, it was great cool nights and pleasant days. The Oregon State parks on the Coast are reservation only, no walk-ins. No boondocking on northern half either but lots on the south half. Hope this helps.538Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hooking up solar
From what I read and what I followed when I installed my solar was to place a fuse in the positive lead from the solar panels and the positive lead from the controller to the battery. The install was so easy and it is the best investment I have made to our MH.293Views0likes0CommentsRe: Plumbing Dutchman 190 QB
Being froze seems logical, we have been in the low teens with the highs between 45/50f. BIL with start the heater and see if that changes anything, I just never thought that about the system being frozen even though it has been warmer most of the day. Thanks for the help.366Views0likes0Comments
