Keeping LEDs stuck in fixture
I'm replacing all the incandescent bulbs with smd led panels in the fixture. The 2 sided tape on the led panels doesn't seem to want to stay stuck. I've heard this is a common problem. What have you come up with to keep the LEDs tuck in the fixture?

Re: Flat Towing Makes my Tires Noisy
I had the same problem with a 2010 crv. You want to have the alignment checked on the crv, both front and back axles. My rear axle alignment was causing the problem. If possible get the front toe set on the high side since towing causes it to go negative. I still get a little noise after towing long distances but it seems to go away after a few miles of driving, before I had the alignment it never went away.

Re: Toasted Iota ITS-30RLTransfer Switch
Mine burnt up two years ago in 2010 Melbourne. It was 2 months out of warranty but Jayco sent me a new switch, The replacement wasn't an iota.

Re: 2015 Sprinter Based Class C Units
The reason the 4 cylinder engine is getting the positive reviews is that it's mated to a 7 speed transmission, the v6 is only available in the US with the 5 speed. The Mercedes rep at the Winnebago Grand National Rally said the 7 speed is available in Europe with the v6.

Re: Anyone use the Progressive hardwire surge?? not showing amps
I had the same thing happen when I first installed mine. It was defective. Call Progressive, they have great customer service. They will walk you testing.

Re: Blue Ox Tiger Trac
I've installed it on two e450 motorhomes. Makes a big difference in the handling. The install is not difficult with the right tools. The frame clamp install is somewhat confusing and takes a little time to figure out, at least it did for me.

Re: Honda CRV lights
I added another set of bulbs in the bottom of the existing lights. Completely separate wiring form the vehicle lights.

Re: 4Kw Genset won't put out power.
I had the same problem a few weeks ago. The wire from the generator to the circuit breaker at the generator had come losse. Also the tech said the neutral wire in the box where the power cord plugs in was loose. I had mine repaired by the dealer since it was still under warranty.

Re: Disconnect battery cable on CRv?
I added charge line from my motorhome to my CRV, if it runs down your battery in a few hours there is something wrong, something isn't turned off or your road braking system is malfunctioning. I have towed for three days straight without and the CRV started each day, with the charge line.

Re: Transfer switch on Class C
Contact Jayco directly, I had a Jayco Melbourne with the same problem. It was out of warranty and they sent me a replacement. This was a little over a year ago. It was the 30 amp Iota transfer switch.
