Re: Newfoundland
For NL campsites, check out Triple Falls just outside St Anthony on the Northern Peninsula. We also stayed at Gateway To the North. Also look at Square Pond just outside Gander. Around the east, check out Pippy Park in St. John's. For attractions, look at L'Anse Aux Meadows, the Viking settlement. Near Gander is the Silent Witness Memorial. In the east there are numerous places to see. Cabot Tower, the Geo-center, Water Street etc. For places to eat, look up Raymond's, Mallard Cottage at Quida Vida (pronounced Kiddy Viddy). Roads can be narrow and twisting, rough in some spots. Take your time and enjoy the scenery.530Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cell phone Newfoundland

Cell service is generally pretty good island wide but you will find dead areas and shadows even along the TCH. Bell and Telus provide the best Island wide coverage. Rogers seems to be mainly on the Avalon Peninsula.647Views0likes0CommentsRe: Having trouble locating short circuit
OP here. Jacks work, everything else seems to work except the one fantastic fan, the cover raises but the fan doesn't run. All the lights, the jacks work fine, the other fan works. There is a connection for a powered awning, that was never used. I may have gotten water in the exterior connection? I haven't tried the furnace. I will give it a good shakedown this weekend.542Views0likes0CommentsRe: Having trouble locating short circuit

Use the ohmmeter function on the DMM to find out which of those wires is connected to the black one. I was thinking this on the way home. I'll try this tomorrow. I was also thinking that the purple and white are for the raise/lower function and not for the fan itself.541Views0likes0CommentsHaving trouble locating short circuit
I have a 2004 Carriage Compass 30 RLS. Yesterday when I was leveling the camper, I blew a fuse, and all 12V power went off in the camper. The fuse is a 25A on a #10AWG black wire. I went back to the camper today with my multi-meter to find out what happened. Today, I found that everything that runs on 12V works, except one fantastic fan. The odd part is that, when I opened the fan it had two #14AWG wires. One was purple, the other white. The powered cover for the fan is fine, but the fan doesn't run. Should I open the fan itself? Or look elsewhere to find the short. There is a 4A glass fuse in the fan, but this fuse is fine. I have a second fantastic fan which works perfectly. The 120V power is not plugged in1.7KViews0likes12CommentsRe: Critters - Just a Rant
You said that you're not home enough to look after a dog. What about a cat. Our neighbor has a farm cat. Between that and another neighborhood cat, our squirrel population is kept in check. I suggested a cat since they require less maintenance than a dog.239Views0likes0CommentsRe: Quebec City Attractions
Also look into the Catholic Basilica. If you like architecture, you will enjoy it. Take trip on the St. Lawrence. There is an old ferry boat converted to a dinner cruise You will get a great view of the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, it also has unique architecture. For a once in lifetime experience visit L'Amour restaurant( if it still exists). It is pricey at about $150/plate, but it is an entire evening, best enjoyed with a a few friends.335Views0likes0CommentsRe: Possible leak from propane gauge
BIL had a leak last year. It was the control valve that allowed you to switch between the 2 tanks. He just unscrewed the hoses, bought a new valve and installed it himself. At my S&B I had a leak on the outdoor kitchen. Turned out to be the hoses themselves. Using soapy water, I found numerous leaks between the fittings. Went to a local dealer that fabricated hoses and had new ones made. A few minutes with a couple of wrenches and done, leak fixed. Checked for other leaks after repair with more soapy water. None found. Both systems still working fine. Many propane lines have swivels at the end to allow you to unthread them without having to twist the whole line.409Views0likes0Comments
