Re: Exhaust brake with Cruise Control on ??
supercub wrote: I just noticed yesterday that with my cruise control on, the exhaust brake doesn't work. As soon as I clicked the cruise off, the exhaust brake light came on , and I could feel the exhaust brake kick in. Is this typical?? I have an 04 Revolution on a Freightliner Chassis. Thanks Brian Boy I wish mine worked that way. With cruise on as soon as the RV accelerates a bit going down the hill, the exhaust brake comes on and I have to reset the cruise to get organized again.

Re: oil leak
Kind of a "how high is up?" question.

Re: surge protectors
I've used one for over 11 years fulltiming. I have no idea if its necessary or not. If it did its job, I never knew it. Perhaps I need new underwear?

Re: Warning Triangles
I dont' have the triangles but: On a breakdown on and interstate, I used the orange jack blocks or wheel blocks to warn that I was disabled. I just made a trail of the blocks standing on their edge and they proved to be very visible.

Re: Towing a Chevy Equinox
TRust me....if you don't pull the fuse, the battery will run down very quickly. Go ahead and ask me how I know that? I did as others, a dedicated line from the battery to the Brake Buddy. No problems now.

Re: Electrical cable issues
First of all, check your MH's fuses. Then check for voltage on the receptacle on your MH to insure that each pin is hot when it should be. Then test the connections on the toad to insure that the proper lamp is lit at the proper time.

Re: Dinghy front tire wear
Don't know about your flat spots but I do get a bit of extra wear on the outside thread of the front on my toad. I assume its just scuffing when the toad is asked to turn when following the RV .

Re: Class A tire Air pressure
You have to know the weight of each corner of your RV before you can even guestamate the correct pressure. Once weighted, you find the chart for your tire and air them to the proper pressure.

Re: K&N air filter
If you google K&N comparison testing, you will never consider the K&N to protect your engine. Even if...IF....it did increase fuel mileage which is debatable, it isn't worth the amount of dirt it passes thru.
