Like the higher VMP too... 18.9.... ISC at 5.7... Jim Not a bad price for two but if you get four at one time, the price goes up nearly $50. So, if you want four, it's best to order in sets of 2 per order. You'd think the more that's purchased, you'd get the same price per panel or less.290Views0likes0CommentsRe: Power Cord
30 amp cords are 120v ( one hot leg), while 50 amp cords are 240 (2 hot legs). If you rv is 50 amp twistlock, you'll have to buy another 50 amp female plug and bridge the two hot legs together, inside the plug. Another female twist lock will likely cost more than the 30A cord itself. I've done this but was lucky to find 50A twistlock on a clearance sale.539Views0likes0CommentsRe: Outside camping lights
I leave my yellow porch light on at night, Sorry, that's how it's going to be. Had things stolen before and light is a little deterrent. Now the yappy lap dogs everyone brings to bark starting around 5am, is more invading to me. Take a Lexapro and enjoy your life.478Views0likes0CommentsRe: Texas forum members you all ok?
RV's in the Rockport area turned over everywhere. Some are shreds. Livestorms media have a bunch of good view videos on YouTube, of the aftermath. These guys are storm chasers that rode the storm out. It's video without the jiber jaber. Me and the wife watched a bunch of clips for hours last night.406Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rubber roof is BILLOWING!
It's a simple pressure difference. Even if the rubber was properly glued down, with heat and a positive pressure inside the RV, your're blowing up a balloon at 60mph. My Montana has front and rear attic vents up top, plus I crack open my roof vents while traveling. Like if you pull the drain plug on a boat while under way, it sucks the water out. I don't see this as a roof problem but a air entry problem. Find a way for the air pressure to equalize.607Views0likes0CommentsRe: My rear electric stabilizer is not working.
Your motor likely has water in it. I fixed my brother's. His had plastic, push on sleeves that was a moisture magnet. The brush Springs rusted and had no tension left. Cleaned motor up and new brush springs was good as new. We left off the sleeves this time.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: 5er tires
I had 16" "E" Goodyear Marathons and they lasted 3years. Two blew within 100 miles. Each rear tire took out the body metal on each side. The tire company that I used for replacements, does business with camping world said the common cause is sitting a long time causes flat spots. My fiver sat for about 8 months prior to this trip. It normally doesn't sit that long. I checked the air and inspected all tires. Wasn't carrying any thing heavy other than 1/2 tank water for rest stops.127Views0likes0Comments
