Re: 2016 Suburu Forester NOT listed as Dingby?
I bought a new 2015 manual trans, Forester specifically to be towed 4 down behind my motorhome. At that time , Dec 2014, the Subaru corporate website stated that all manual trans Subarus could be flat towed behind a motorhome, but no automatic trans models could be. They also stated that no Subarus could be towed with 2 wheels on a dolly and 2 on the ground. I have since towed this car about 10,000 miles with no problems. Today I went back to the same website, and found that they had changed their recommedation to hauling it with all 4 wheels on a trailer. They referred to the emergency towing procedure if one just had to tow 4 down. As far as I know, there are no changes in the running gear of the 2015 vs the 2016 models. So it seems that the lawyers have inserted some CMA language.517Views0likes0CommentsRe: Two Meter Ham Radios

In this instance it refers to the approx. wavelength of an amateur, or ham, radio that operates in the 144 to 148 megahertz frequency range. These radios are commonly called 2 meter radios.393Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2013 Subaru Crosstrek battery dies when towed
I had the same problem with my 2015 Forester. The problem started after I had the car for 11 months, I took it to the dealer and asked them to test the battery. Turned out that the battery was defective and they replaced it under warranty.549Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dinghy towing a Subaru
I tow a 2015 manual transmission Forester. It tows very well. I can recommend it without reservation. As to the baseplate installation, it was much more than I was willing to tackle on a brand new car. It required removing a good portion of the front end. I had my car dealer install it. They took about 3 hours, which IMHO was money well spent.259Views0likes0CommentsRe: Driving Class A after triple heart bypass
I had my quad in 2007. As I recall, it was about 6 weeks when I first started to drive the RV. I don't remember driving the RV, a Fleetwood Discovery DP, being any more stressful than driving the toad. If I could drive the one, I could drive the other. That being said, I did have a tight feeling in the scar area for about 6 to 9 months before it completely went away. So when it started to bother me, I would back off from whatever I was doing. I can tell you that every day will be a little better than the day before, so just do what you feel like doing. You will be up to full speed in no time. Good luck.367Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3 prong 50 amp plug to 4 prong 50 amp ????
I am sorry for your loss. DO NOT plug into a 220V dryer outlet. The 4 prong cord on your RV is actually 2 separate 120V circuits. If you do not already have one, you can pickup an adapter to plug your RV into a 30 amp 120V outletat Camping world or Walmart.962Views0likes0CommentsRe: A/C while driving

My current Motor Home has the furnace intake and outlet at the back of the coach. We have the heater for the coach from the engine, but for the first couple of hundred miles, there isn't enough heat to make the back close to habitable. I would like to just leave the furnace on all night too!!Even though we hotel it until we get to more moderate climates. What do you think? Sw No problem to run the furnace while driving. Just as using the roof air conditioning, use what ever equipment you have available to maintain a comfortable temperature.681Views0likes0Comments
