Could not get slide to come in Freedom Express 192 RBS
Last week I pushed the button to bring in the slide and nothing happened- no sound, no vibration, no movement- nothing! I spent the day checking fuses, breakers, wires, and the battery. Nothing solved the problem. Finally, a neighbor saw a video that showed how to get the slide in manually. He worked for about 30 minutes and brought it in so I could finally head home. But, the problem still remains. I have read the manual for the slide, searched the internet for things I didn't already try, and posted on some FB groups. The only thing I have heard that sounds feasible is to check the fuse for the slide. Problem is that I can't find it. I'm hoping someone on here who has a 192rbs can tell me where to look. It isn't in the manual. All it says is that the slide out fuse may be blown.326Views0likes1CommentRe: What does tire date code '5317' mean?

You just made that up??? :B No. Actually Pope Gregory XIII introduced the calendar in the 1500s. I wasn't born until the 1950s.884Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fridge on propane while driving
You are most likely going to get mixed opinions here, as well. I would consult your owners manual or contact the manufacturer. My opinion, which should not be worth dirt to you, is to go ahead and run it on propane while traveling. I don't do that, though. My fridge stays cold and my freezer stays frozen from one campsite to the next without running it on anything. It is well insulated.206Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sorta 'Survey' - IKEA RV Stuff
IKEA is a huge store full of household goods from Sweden. They sell a lot of stuff at fairly low prices. You wander around looking at everything like an adventure. I took my son there to get a couch/bed combo for his first apartment. As you walk around, you end up throwing things like $5 lamps in your cart. They have a restaurant hidden somewhere in the middle of the Austin store. I have not been to it, but friends seem to like it. I have not been to the new San Antonio store. Unlike Buccee's, Cabella's, or Bass Pro, there isn't enough there to keep me coming back. But, if you need something they have, it is a good place to get it.653Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sorta 'Survey' - IKEA RV Stuff
I bought a $2 squeegee for the shower, three $1 dish towels for the galley, and a $3 plastic serving tray that I use to set my drink and popcorn on when I am lounging on the bed watching movies before going to bed. The squeegee does a great job of drying off the shower. The dish towels are super absorbent and do a great job of drying the dishes. The serving tray provides a great surface for my drink. As a bonus, the one time I knocked over my glass of Merlot, all of the wine was trapped on the tray. I poured it in the sink and rinsed off the tray without ruining the comforter on my bed. Personally, I find IKEA to be a fun place to find cheap little things like lamps, shelves, etc. It is a great place for outfitting a dorm room or first apartment. Not the kind of stuff I would want to put in my home.206Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ward Charcoal Ovens State Park
Just re-read your post. Sorry... you weren't asking about hookups. I did keep researching and found a review of the park on YELP in which someone says, "They have vault toilets, but they are clean." Kept going and found this, "CAMPING Willow Creek Campground is a 14-site campground with two large pull-through sites, one handicapped designated site and two vault type restrooms centrally located. Potable drinking water is available May through September from one hydrant located near the campground entrance." It was on this web page: https://www.stateparks.com/ward_charcoal_ovens_state_park_in_nevada.html176Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ward Charcoal Ovens State Park
On the Nevada State Parks website, it says this: Which parks provide hook-ups? Hook-ups are available at Cathedral Gorge, Valley of Fire, Echo Canyon and Big Bend of the Colorado State Parks. Plans are to also install hook-ups at Washoe Lake, Spring Valley, South Fork, Kershaw-Ryan, and Ward Charcoal Ovens. There is a webpage for the park http://parks.nv.gov/parks/ward-charcoal-ovensHERE.176Views0likes0CommentsRe: Our new Freedom Express 192 RBS

I always plan to copy some of them, but I guess I'm just too lazy. I really need those doors under the bed!862Views0likes0Comments
