Re: deploying side awning

Do you have the long steel wire to manipulate the awning and pull the strap? . i have the one that has release latches on the lower ridge that if unlatched gives the vertical support legs flexibility to move , there is no wire or strap . I’m too short to reach it .470Views0likes0Commentsdeploying side awning
Hi, my wife and I were setting up in our new to us camper and we couldn’t reach the leg mechanisms so we had to stand on a picnic table to reach and set it up . Does everyone out there have this problem? It would seem to me a step ladder would come in real handy but i’ll just do without.. Thanks1.3KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Happijac issue

The most amazing thing in this statement is that you were able to find an "electric motor repair shop" in this day and age!! Glad you were successful. . Thanks , the shop mainly rebuilds starters and alternators , and camper jacks.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Happijac issue

Even though the water is potable, it may not be entirely palatable. I use a final Brita or other device for drinking water. Personally I find it to be a real nuisance to carry bottled water when camping. Especially in Summer months, I am likely to go through a gallon of drinking water a day. That would really add up over a few weeks. If you really think bottled water is somehow better, you might want to do some additional research. Typically the source of bottled water is municipal water that has perhaps been filtered. Then there is the issue of water in contact with plastic containers for weeks, months or even years. No thanks. Something to think about, all these posts are convincing me to just use the freshwater tank. Thanks230Views0likes0Comments
