Re: Is my alternator going?
op said "Yes I do unplug the battery when I leave because we have heavy trucks and side by sides running over the cord a lot. We're burying the power line now so I could leave it plugged in the future just wasn't sure that was a good idea. It's in a lot of woods 4 hours drive north of me" he is unplugging shore power, not the battery the battery is probably shot. he needs to take a cable off the battery itself not unplug from shore power. battery will be dead in just a few days from parasitic draws491Views0likes0CommentsRe: The cat is out of the bag !

"The ethanol in gasoline is very hygroscopic. It actually attracts moisture out of the atmosphere. Over time, a problematic amount of water can accumulate." that is simply not true. ethanol will not attract water out of the atmosphere436Views0likes0CommentsRe: Holding Tank Terminations

If the black tank is full, and the gray tank is empty, and the gray tank valve is opened, it means that the black water would back flow into the gray tank until they are both at the same level. So, half of the black water would be in the gray tank. Doesn't sound like a good thing! Now before someone says you should never open valves in that order, never underestimate the possibility that it could happen. IF the black tank works as normal, there is no way unless you did not take the cap off and put the dump hose on, could back flow into the gray tank642Views0likes0CommentsRe: Disapointed with new Garmin
I still prefer the GPS to trying to keep county level maps for the entire country, but any time it suggests a gravel or dirt road, I check it out without the trailer. there are settings to avoid dirt roads,and dead end roads. if you don't have the settings correct don't blame the unit. and never tell it to take the shortest route, always use fastest route634Views0likes0Comments
