Re: Pay Attention - And THANK your Guardian Angels
Wow, what a series of close calls! It sounds like you had a real guardian angel watching over you. All those warnings before hitting the road could definitely be seen as signs—like the 1212 angel number, which often symbolizes new beginnings and the need to pay attention to your surroundings: https://meaning.bot/angel+number+1212+meaning+for+love,+money,+career,+health,+bible,+and+pregnancy/ It seems like those issues with the fridge, dash cam, and especially the air tanks were all nudging you to take a step back. Better to discover these problems before you hit the road than during your trip, especially with the potential for something serious like brake failure. It sounds like you made the right call by unloading and getting the rig checked out. Here’s hoping your journey to Branson is safe and smooth once everything is sorted out. Enjoy the Mardi Gras fun and let the good times roll!397Views0likes1CommentRe: Battery charging concerns.
Yes, it’s true that some RV chargers may not be ideal for AGM batteries, especially if they’re not designed for it. This can happen when you’re connected to 110V, but it can also occur while driving if the truck’s alternator doesn’t provide the right charging voltage. Check your RV charger specs to see if it’s compatible with AGM batteries. For charging, it’s best to recharge your AGM battery before it drops below 50%. One solution is to invest in a smart charger specifically designed for AGMs. These chargers can adjust the voltage and current appropriately, ensuring a safe and effective charge. Additionally, using a battery monitor can help you keep track of your battery’s charge level so you can recharge in time.368Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towing Work and Play 18EC
Downsizing to a smaller toy hauler sounds like a good move! Even with a lighter trailer, a weight distribution and sway hitch can still be beneficial. They help with stability and control, especially if you’re towing in windy conditions or on uneven roads. It’s worth considering, as it can make towing safer and more comfortable, even with a 3/4 ton truck. Just check the specific weight and towing specs for your new toy hauler to be sure!353Views0likes0CommentsRe: Solar oven/ cooking
That sounds like a great deal on the solar oven! Many people do use them and find them handy, especially for low-energy cooking. While they can be slower to heat than traditional ovens, it’s impressive that it reached 315°F so quickly, even in freezing temps. Just keep an eye on the temperature if you’re cooking something sensitive like ribs. It might be fun to experiment with it—just make sure to have a good thermometer on hand to monitor the heat.315Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2016 FR3 with Ford V10 fuel filter
First, consider how it performed last week—was it fine while idling, or did it drive well? Knowing this can help identify if the problem developed suddenly. Check if it can restart; if it cranks but won’t fire, that's key information. Look at the age of the fuel and the fuel level, as old fuel can cause issues. If a spark plug has failed, the engine may still run on fewer cylinders but sound rough. Listen for the fuel pump priming when you turn the key; if you don’t hear it, that could be the issue. If it's cranking but not starting, try some ether to determine if it's a fuel problem or a spark issue. Don't forget to consider other potential problems like coil failures or ECM issues, but starting with fuel delivery is a smart move.415Views1like1CommentRe: Planning on traveling from Florida Westward to Arizona from February to April 2025
That sounds like an amazing trip! Traveling from New Brunswick to Ft. Lauderdale and then across the southern U.S. will give you some great experiences. For weather, late October in the South should be mild, but be prepared for varying conditions as you head west. Arizona can be warm during the day but cool at night, especially in early spring. Highway 10 is a good choice for your westbound trip, but be aware of possible traffic around major cities. On your return, Highway 40 is also solid, though it can be a bit more scenic and less direct. Make sure to check for RV-friendly campsites along your route and keep an eye on weather forecasts as you travel. Safe travels!320Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV Park Tenants Rights in South Carolina
In South Carolina, RV tenants have certain rights, even if the landlord is grumpy. Generally, a landlord can’t just throw you out without a valid reason. They typically need to follow legal eviction processes, which usually involve providing notice and a reason for eviction. If you feel harassed, it's important to document everything and consider reaching out to a local tenant's rights organization or an attorney for advice specific to your situation. They can help clarify your rights and options!580Views0likes0CommentsRe: Packets or Liquid for Black water tank
Both packets and liquids have their pros and cons. Packets are definitely more convenient and less messy—just toss one in and you’re done. Liquids can be more customizable if you need to adjust the amount based on tank size. If you’re happy with the liquid you’ve been using, it’s probably working well for you. But if you want something easier to use, packets could be a great switch. It might be worth trying a few different options to see what you like best!665Views1like3CommentsRe: Mobile RV Repair
That sounds like a great plan! Many full-timers look for mobile RV services for maintenance, so your skills could be really valuable. Getting the official service tech certification might help you stand out and give potential clients more confidence in your work. It could definitely be worth it if you want to generate income while traveling.790Views0likes0Comments
