RE: Upgrading roof vent fan
I installed the TurboMaxx Fan on our bathroom vent a couple of years ago. It installs over the existing roof vent, so there is no need to remove the old vent. I removed the MaxxAire vent cover and used the brackets to mount the TurboMaxx Fan. I also pulled the fan blades off the old fan motor shaft and used the wiring for the TurboMaxx. The hardest part of the install was mounting the fan control.
We usually use the TurboMaxx fan on the lowest speed as it moves a lot of air and is very quiet at that speed. If you need to use the highest speed, prop the bathroom door open to avoid creating a vacuum that could draw in odors from the black tank.
DW loves the new fan!

RE: navigation/gps
I attach my Garmin nuvi right at the top left corner of the windshield. In that position it doesn't block vision of the road and is within easy reach to use the touch screen. Gets the signal just fine there.

RE: onan model 4KYFA26100K air filter
I have the same model generator. I agree that it is a bit difficult to replace the filter due to the tight space. However, with some wiggling around the old filter came out and the new one went in. Keep trying.

RE: Outer Banks of North Carolina
Here's a picture of our site (#34) at Ocean Waves back in 2006. We have been there in May and June in the past and were able to get a site mid-week by calling a few days ahead.

RE: Winterizing questions
Veebyes,
If your storage building has been unheated during several days of below freezing weather, then IMO you have been lucky rather than safe - so far. Running the pump until nothing comes out of the faucets leaves lots of water in the piping, most of which will flow back to the low sections of the piping. If this Winter there are a few days of slightly colder weather than previous Winters, you may come back in the Spring to an expensive repair. RV Antifreeze is cheap and is the only sure way to avoid freeze damage.

RE: Colter Bay, WY
The link (Click Here) that I provided in my post above was to the Colter Bay Village Campground, which has no hookups. This campground is first come, first served - no reservations. There is a second campground at Colter Bay which has a tab in the link of "RV Park". This one has full hookups and the sites can be reserved.
I would be surprised if the "late season" rate for the RV Park began as early as late August, but the best answer will come from a person who answers the reservation phone number provided in the link.

RE: Colter Bay, WY
Here's a link to info on the Colter Bay Village Campground. You may want to call them to inquire about sites that may fit your rig. They do not take reservations and site availability may be limited depending on whether you are coming in early August or later in the month when families are heading home for the start of school.

RE: Winterizing questions
Last year was the first time I tried blowing out the lines before pumping the pink A/F in. I was thinking that it might reduce the amount of A/F needed. Well, I still used the same 1-1/2 gallons to do the job, so that's the last time I'm going to bother with the extra step of blowing the lines.
LJ Cox is correct that the A/F will push the water ahead of it out of the lines. There is very little mixing.

RE: Leonid meteor show tonight, early Tuesday a.m.
About 7-8 years ago DW and I went to the beach to watch the Leonid meteor shower over the dark Atlantic Ocean. It was a spectacular display with several to many meteors visible each minute, some only a few seconds apart. A few left glowing trails that remained visible for 20-30 seconds. Probably the best shower we will see in our lifetime.
It is also the only time we have seen the Zodiacal light.

RE: Canadian Maritimes Intinerary - Comments?
For your consideration, when we visited the Fortress back in June 08 we stayed at the Louisbourg RV Park for two nights. It's a small, not fancy campground right next to the harbor and within easy walking distance of activities in town. The Fortress is only 2-3 miles away.

RE: Onan 4KY Wouldn't Start
If you can get access to the bottom left side of your 4KY Onan then you can change the fuel filter easily. Read here for how I did mine.

RE: recomendation for rv site at grand canyon south rim
We have stayed at Trailer Village and visited the Canyon on two occasions for a total of six days and never heard a helicopter. There are flight restrictions over the Grand Canyon and the helicopter tours are required to stay away from the tourist areas on the south and north rims.
Trailer Village is the closest campground to the south rim. The Park shuttle stops at the campground.

RE: Canadian Maritimes Intinerary - Comments?
We spent about 3 weeks in early June 2008 in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Based on that limited experience, I have the following thoughts and comments:
We stayed 2 nights at the Century Farm Family Campground in St. Martins and would highly recommend it. The campground is a large grassy field right on the shore of the Bay of Fundy. A very pretty location and the owners were very helpful and friendly. The WiFi worked too! While there we drove over to the nearby sea caves to watch the tide go out. With the huge tidal range in the Bay, it is amazing to see how fast the water level changes. The second day we drove the Fundy Trail Parkway just to the east of St. Martins. Very scenic and some nice short hiking trails.
We stayed 2 nights at Chignecto North Campground in Fundy National Park. A very nice campground with lots of trees. Lots of bugs (Black Flies?) when we were there, but that may just have been the time of year.
IMO the best place in New Brunswick to witness the tidal range in the Bay is the Hopewell Rocks. We arrived there just at high tide, then went back 3 hours later to walk in the ocean floor. In that time the water level had dropped by 20 feet or more.
On the west side of Cape Breton Island, we stayed 2 nights at MacLeod's Beach Campground just north of Inverness. It's about 30 miles south of Cheticamp, so maybe not a good base camp for the Cape Breton Highlands NP. However, this was one of the most spectacular campground locations we have stayed at. There is a short trail to the top of a bluff with spectacular 360 degree views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the hills surrounding the campground. We saw whales in the Gulf, probably Pilot whales. Also a nice beach and great sunsets over the Gulf.
At Baddeck we spent one night at Baddeck Cabot Trail Campground and the following night at Bras D'Or Lakes Campground. Both were fine. Don't miss the Alexander Graham Bell Museum while there - very interesting place.
As mentioned by others - don't miss Fortress Louisborg! Plan on a full day there, as there is a lot to see.

RE: Drain plug
Winnebago has plumbing diagrams and other info. here.
If the blind spot you are referring to is when you are changing lanes, that is what the little wide angle mirrors are for. They assist in seeing a car that is alongside the MH. It takes a while to get used to using them and it pays to be especially careful anyway.

RE: Refrigerator Iceing Question
Second vote for a bad door seal. Ice can't form on the fins if moist air can't leak in.

RE: Route from southern New Jersey (Del Mem Br) to Rockport, ME
We have been up to Camden, Maine and beyond several times from home in NJ. The route we have taken is as follows:
Garden State Parkway to northern connection to NY Turnpike, across the Tappan Zee Bridge ($$) to I684 to I84 to the Mass Turnpike, then I290 to I494 to join I95 north of Boston. At Portland we get onto I295 to route 1 then take route 90 to Rockport.
Enjoy your trip!

RE: Need a little help with my water heater... w/video
It looks to me that you have a partial blockage of the burner tube. You should not see flame at the air inlet slots just downstream of the orifice. Take the burner tube off and clean it out. Spiders like to build nests in there. I had a spider web completely block the burner tube and had the thrill of big flames coming out of the air inlet slots.
If that isn't the problem, then running a refrigerator coil cleaning brush through the U-tube in the heater. Something may have built a nest in there that is blocking the air flow.

RE: New Mexico - spring visit - when??
Must be a big swing in temperature between late April and early May in that area. We went through Roswell this past May 8th on the way to Carlsbad and it was 105 degrees there.
