Re: Fleetwood service centers
I was just at the Decatur, IN location a few weeks ago for some warranty work. I had a good experience. They completed the work within the timeframe estimated based upon the list of repair items I submitted in advance. In addition, they were good about repairing items I discovered once at the service center. While they accept drive ins without an appointment, you may end up waiting quite a while without one. While there, I observed some drive ins waited up to two weeks before a tech looked at their coach. The service center has a process to determine the sequence of servicing customer rigs. Appointments are first in line according to ones scheduled start date. For Drive ins, warranty and safety issues are next, followed by remaining repair work. They do their best to incorporate the drive ins interspersed with the scheduled appointments. Upon completion I was satisfied with the repairs. Some items I elected to address on my own. They have sites with 50amp power so that you can stay in your own rig at night. Water and a dump station is available at the west end of the service center. Each day your assigned tech will come to your site and take your rig to the service bay at 7am. Your rig will be returned at 3pm. For warranty and certain repairs, I recommend taking to the service center.215Views0likes0CommentsRe: Phone/email question
If you are using Gmail, you may need to change a security setting to allow “less secure” apps access to your account depending upon the email client you are using. To change this setting, go to you Google account page, select Security and the scroll down to the Less Secure App Access setting and turn this on. If it is your email client that is causing the issue, this will get you up and running. I advise looking into a different client or updating the one you have if an update is available. I just had this same issue on my laptop when trying to use an older version of Outlook to access my email. Changing the above setting resolved the login issue.625Views0likes0CommentsRe: Video Editing Software
I am using adobe premiere elements. Just fine for consumer use. Has some nice features found in the higher end packages with a simpler interface. I have the Mac version but it is available for both platforms. Just recently used it for the same purpose - digitized a bunch of mini rv camcorder recordings from back in the day.461Views0likes0CommentsRe: Car dollies
I too tow an Elantra behind our motorhome. We have the Demco Kar Kaddy 3. So far we have been happy with its performance. It is well built albeit a bit heavy to maneuver when having to disconnect from the motorhome. I have since installed a trailer jack to the dolly to aid in moving the dolly around. Demco offers a jack as an accessory but I opted for one from HF that was on sale for $17. Much less than the Demco version and so far seems to meet my needs. Good luck on your search for a dolly.873Views0likes0CommentsRe: Delamination repair
I have not had personal experience, but check out the YouTube channel “RV with Tito”. He had a similar issue with delamination in his class C and he shows how he approached repairing his rv. BTW - Tito is not the name of the host of the videos. It is Brian. He explains in one of his live Q&A videos if you are curious.682Views0likes0CommentsRe: App for capturing imaged in iPad (free)

Yes, on iPad/iPhone, press home button and power button at the same time. It will place the screenshot in your camera roll243Views0likes0CommentsRe: Satellite Phone/Hotspot
Take a look at the Spot satellite messengers. Various devices with different capabilities. Some you can type messages on the device, others you can configure canned messages that include your location. Does require a subscription but they now have month to month plans so you don’t have to keep it active when not in use. According to their website, a clear view of the sky is required for a signal. I have not used one personally, but an avid overnight hiker I know uses it all the time. Even in areas like the white Mountains in NH. Just know that under thick tree canopy the signal will likely drop out.382Views0likes0CommentsRe: What is this?
Thanks so much for solving this mystery! Now I will have to check to see if one is already installed and this is a spare or if it is missing from the air filter housing. My money is on that the techs at the dealership had no idea what it is so it when in the box of unused/spare parts.662Views0likes0Comments
