RE: Dinghy a Dodge Challenger?
Dodge has the owner's manual online. It is only 2011and up that allows flat towing for manual. I don't know I'd there was a drivetrain change, or did dodge just realize there is an underserved hooligan/class a motor home market?
Me want,but the passat wagon has been such a great car, it's hard to let go.

RE: Navistar RV may soon be history
Every paragraph covers why Navistar RV and others may soon be history.
Bingo. Demographics and economics mean that there is way too much capacity to make RVs . That capacity is well in excess of the market's likely ability to absorb the u it's produced, and there is o Lu so much you can throttle back a factory until it marks more sense to close it.
Zero interest rates might help buyers finance a unit, but they slaughter savers, so would be rv buyers/ retirees will, on the margin, probably have to stay in the workforce.
Fighting demographics is a loosing battle.

RE: Damon Tuscany 2009 Water Heater Bypass
OK, so where is the mixing valve?
It will be near the water heater and the last thing before the hot water pipe heads off to the various spigots. Pop the cover off the inside compartment where the water heater is and it will be obvious.

RE: Damon Tuscany 2009 Water Heater Bypass
I can't find the location of my water heater bypass. Does anyone own one of these and know where its at? We have the model 4076. I have called Thor and looked on these forums and can't find an answer. My hot water only gets to 100 degrees on electric or gas. I think the bypass valve is half way open.
More likely, it's the mixing valve if you have an Atwood unit like in my 2008 Damon Astoria. This is a ten gallon unit that super-heats the water and then mixes in cold water before delivering it to the hot water line. There were issues with the original valve getting crud stuck in it. Mine was replaced and has been fine.
What you can try is to pinch off the white hose going to the mixing valve. It is pretty obvious - hot water out of the tank goes through a little pipe into the valve, and the white hose runs from the cold water in line up to the valve. Take some vice grips and pinch it off. See if this helps, and you'll know if that's the problem.

Norcold 611 Unreliably lights on LP
So a search of the archives reveals tons of information on these units, but I found nothing describing the symptoms I'm seeing.
The unit will usually light on LP. Occassionally, it will go through the "tick tick tick" ignition cycle and fail. Often those failures are accompanied by a little "poof" or "burp" as a bit of LP lights off.
We first noticed the problem at Yellowstone last year and attributed it to altitude. Well, here in Chicagoland, it's not altitude. I've had the unit cleaned but have not dug deeply into it before seeking advice on where to start.
Is the "Poof" incomplete / unsustained combustion an indication of where to start?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Backing an enclosed trailer with a DP
I tow a 32ft enclosed with a 38ft DP and can back it in a key hole---but I been doing it for 50 years----the shorter the trailer the more difficult it is. Ever try backing one of those lawn trailers with a lawn tractor??? You go slow and if it turns to much don't try straightening it continuing backwards---a short bump forward will straighten it right up then try once more. Those little short trailers aren't a cake walk.
Thanks everybody. I'm an expert with the lawn tractor and trailer, so no worries!!!

Backing an enclosed trailer with a DP
I will be borrowing or renting a 12 foot enclosed trailer to haul some trade show supplies, but I've never tried backing anthing with the 40' DP.
Is it possible to back a trailer with any degree of precision using a DP, or does the swing on the rear make it impossible even with a rear-view camera?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
