RE: Locked Out of RV !
This same thing happened to us about a month ago. I broke the key off in the dead bolt trying to open the door. We've always had problems with this dead bolt opening for some reason. Called a locksmith because I know these people have the knowledge and the tools to deal with the problem. After many atempts to get the broken key out he finaly went the got his cordless drill and drilled a hole on each side of the key hole. What he doing is drilling off the ends of the screws holding the dead bolt together. Both halfs just fell on the round when he finished drilling. Using a flat blade screw driver he openned the door.
He told my the name and number of the right new dead bolt to install. And after some modifications to the bolt itself (has to be thinner) by using a hacksaw to cut the dead bolt down to the right thinnist so it would work in the door. Used the old one to figure out the thinnist of the dead bolt itself. So far haven't had any more problems with locking or unlocking the door.

RE: Digital Cable - how to hookup
I've got a question: If you've already got converter boxes on each TV, why do you need another converter box for the incoming cable signal? Just wondering.

RE: S & B or not?
I also think you should first find out if both of you like full-timing before you start selling off your S&B. This is one of questions that only you and your husband can answer together.

RE: Jump starting the genny
Here's another idea: Turn the house battery switch to it's off position. Hock the jumper cables right to the genny terminals and use dingy to provide the 12 volts. But if the house batteries are both dead, there's got to be a reason why there dead. probably need to figure that out also.

RE: Wife wants a Class A
In some parts of this country, diesel fuel is .60 to .80 cent a galon highter then unleaded fuel. We went from a Dodge Diesel, and 5th wheel to a class gas motor home because this same above reason. Don't miss the Dodge at all.

RE: Is running the A/C unit on a 20 amp circuit OK?
While parked at the house, I use only a 20 amp circuit to run 1 A/C unit, plus 12 volt convertor. Use a heavy duty extension cord (12 AWG). And no longer then 50 feet long. Remember, voltage drop is the killer here. remove cover from electrical panel, with an volt/ amp meter check the voltage before, and again after the A/C units running. Voltage should not be lower that 110 volts. If lower, don't run the A/C unit. You'll burn up the motors. Remember, voltage goes done, amperage goes up.

RE: Cleaning the ceiling
We own a floor model rug cleaner w/hose attachment. Works great for cleaning the fabic material on the ceiling.
Something else you could do is: Spray bottle with rug cleaaner, spray on material, use a faily soft brush, work area. use wet vac to remove the wet stuff.
