RE: Pad under jacks
Like J-Rooster I use 2 X 10, but I cut mine at 18" fits my roll out shelf. I always put blocks under my jacks.

RE: Really -- $1,500 for PDI ! Seriously???
I just bought a 2013 Jeep Wrangler, I know it is not a RV. Went to three Jeep dealers in my area, I just asked them each what is the final drive out of the lot number. Anything else they could call it what they wanted and charge what they wanted. I just wanted their best number. Boy there was a big difference in out the lot number.

RE: !2 volt electrical dimmer switch
I have a 2006 Coachmen Aurora. My dinning table dimmer is a slider with a rocker on off switch.. You pull the knob off the slider switch. Than the cover plate pryes off. The mounting plate under the cover is held down with four screws.

RE: DISH Eastern vs. Western Antennas
Thanks for the info. For an Rver what would be the down side to setting up for the EA and using it out west other than the possibility of obstructions. I can see the need for the EA in the east due to 129 being so low. But can not see the the down side or for that matter why does DISH have both if the EA will work out west? Bob
I am not sure but you might run into the same problem with the eastern sat getting to low when you go west. As the western sat are to low in some of the eastern areas. I know around where my house is you can not hit the 119 sat due to the hill and trees.

RE: clorox bleach in diesel
HR You did save the fuel? Now that you have your tank clear of the bad fuel, Contact your engine company and see what they have to say. Never now you might be able to make some use out of the fuel you removes. Just a thought. Gary

RE: clorox bleach in diesel
I would not put water into the tank. It sounds like you have emptied your tank good. If you have a internal fuel pump I would put some fuel in the tank, than with you fuel line off the filter head pump some fuel through the lines. Than put more fuel back into the tank, hook up the filter line and go for it. Get to a fuel pump and fill up your tank and keep an eye on your filters. JMHO Gary

RE: flat towing rubicon
I have my 2013 Rubicon on order. Follow the owner manual, your jeep dealer is given you the wrong information. The transmission should be in park on Auto(in gear on standard) transfer case in neutral.

RE: Boondocking at Walmart
When I travel, I have certain places I want to stop at and send my time there. In between, I don't plan on my stops to be at a CG. I think there are to many variables that come into play. Traffic, sights and other thing that will change my travel plans to worry about getting to a pre-arranged CG. I find that these free night stop are great. I can stop when I want to, my MH can make it through the night with out using the generator, so I am not disturbing anyone. Think of the money If the owners of these free night spot don't care why should anyone else.

Great set-up John. Is that a light right above your meter on the battery pack?

RE: Boondocking at Walmart
I use walmart during our travels. I find them very good for overnight stops. I always check in with them to get permission to stay the night. We are fully self contained, water, electric and everything else we need, that is way we bought a class A. For when, we stop outside of a campground. I have even stopped at few walmarts that security has showed me where to park for the night so I could open my slides. I never understand why it always comes to being cheap when staying at a free stop over a privately campground, yet many don't think nothing of staying a BLM grounds or other places that offer cheap camping.
Each their own, life is to short, let each enjoy what they like to do.

RE: Walmart I10 Gulfport refund coming
Happy to see that Walmart did right to the OP. Just a shame it had to go this long for the OP. I use Walmart for overnight parking when traveling, I sure would hate to run into this kind of problem, after getting the OK from Walmart

RE: Towed jeep odometer rolling up miles
I am looking into getting a 2013 Wangler. If you follow the owner's manual there is a section that tells you how to set it up for RV Towing. Gives you all the information you need. There is no talk of turning the key on.

RE: Ohio--> Fort Wilderness: Too ambitious a plan for a noob?
The whole RV things was new to us. The First year that I got my MH in June did a little camping around home. Then that same year, Sept we went to Fort Wilderness. Come back home to CT. And in Oct. went to Tx. Go for it life is short.

RE: Should I buy an expensive/complicated MH?
We had a laugh out loud moment this last weekend while watching an rv show on the travel channel. I guess the new "in" design feature is to control all the electronic gizmos via an ipad app. I bet in the real world those systems are so problematic as to not even being installed for end consumers. Seriously if your rig is 400sqft and you are unable to walk two feet to switch a light on then there are bigger issues to contend with.
I watched the same show, most of the owners of them RV don't have to worry about how much it cost to fix those "nice motorhomes" I am not as young and as moveable as I use to be. But I can still work on my simpler gas MH.

RE: Power question
Just to be sure, I'm attaching an image of my meter. I put in on DC and turn it to 20 (was told to turn it to the number just higher then what you're looking for). Then I touch the ends to the posts on my batteries and I get 5.6 on each battery. Is that the correct way to measure the output of the converter? I found that on another forum.

Just to make sure things are going right, You said you are reading 5.6 volts on each battery. So you have two six volt batteries, right? (three caps on each battery) IF not, I would say your batteries are shot if you are only getting 5.6 volts post to post.
Also, are you sure post cables are hooked up right? Gary
