Re: How to remove broken door latch
Here's the conclusion of my story. I used a 3/8" drill bit and drilled out the deadbolt key. Went in about 1/4" and the bit caught and turned the deadbolt. Pulled it out, door opened. MUCH easier than I thought it would be. The thieves did get in to my fifth wheel to steal the TV. They used a dealer master key and broke it off locking it back up. Funny thing, though. They stepped over 2 $1500 bikes, 2 30# propane tanks and other electronics to steal a $250 TV. Nobody said thieves were smart. Thanks everyone for your suggestions, -Steve & Terri911Views0likes0CommentsHow to remove broken door latch
We had someone try to break into our 5th wheel and they ruined the deadbolt keyhole. We cannot unlock the deadbolt. Any suggestions on how to go about removing the entire latch? It has 2 keyholes, one for the deadbolt and one for the latch pull itself. Once removed, we plan to replace it with a combination style latch. I've tried to search the forum, but didn't find much on the subject. Thank you in advance for your help!3.9KViews0likes12CommentsRe: Canopies?
Make sure the one you get has legs that go straight up instead of going up at an angle. First, they measure the size by the base which means the top will be smaller. We have a 10x10 but the top is 8.5x8.5. Also, if you get one with straight legs, you can put two together much easier.423Views0likes0CommentsRe: Netflicks?
I've been a customer of Netflix for 13 years. Started with the 3DVD plan and moved to the 2DVD plan when streaming came of age. Last year we moved back to the 3 plan so we could take more movies with us. I also buy movies with the digital copy option so I can hook up our laptop to the TV and watch our favorites. Time flies by when camping without network or satellite/cable stuff. But if you're full time, I'd look for a place with good wifi and stream what you want.281Views0likes0CommentsBlow out winterizing question
I have blown out all of the lines 3 times now, I just keep thinking a little water will pool somewhere and freeze - call me paranoid. Question; when you blow out, does that take care of the fresh water pump? If not, should I run just enough anti freeze to protect it? 1st winterize, so just checking... Thank you!8.5KViews0likes31CommentsRe: Apple IPhone or android?

Do you hear me? ...which also makes it much more susceptible to viruses and malware. iPhone has had one or two issues, but Androids have many many more security issues.194Views0likes0Comments
