RE: Best route from Navarre FL to I-65 and on north to TN
I just did 29 to Route 113 ten days ago from NAS Pensacola up to TN. Very good road and light traffic.

RE: I 64 from Outer Banks to Illinois
You're missing a gorgeous drive. There are some grades on I-64, the longest pull is west of Beckley. There are NONE, ZERO to be afraid of. If coming from NC take I-77 into VA and meet I-64 at Beckley. Tolls are cheap and all good road. Tolls start near Bluefield and are $2-3 at each of two or three plazas.
Tamarack just west of Beckley is well worth a stop to see the skill of WV craftsmen and artists. The food there is by The Greenbrier, one of the premier resorts in the USA.
Once you get to Charleston the hills are finished.
If you come up 77 there is a long pull right at the NC/VA state line but you will miss the long pull west of Beckley.
I'll be heading to Springfield, MO on June 1st so I'll toot as I go thru Illinois. Quick car trip, so no air horn.

RE: Natural Bridge/Lexington, VA KOA - review
General George C. Marshall Museum is there too. Also, Robert E. Lee is buried there. Lexington has lots of history.

RE: How to use Generator
Check the GFI. There might be two, one in bathroom, one in kitchen. That's where my money is going to be bet. You have power if the micro is working.

RE: West Virginia
Canaan Valley sites are on 3 loops, all private except two or three on furthest loop. All pretty big and heavily treed.
Lots of trails, mini golf course right by campground, playground, bike trails, regular 18 hole golf course, skateboard park, tennis, pool, lots of deer right in camp.
A great pizza about 3-4 miles from park at Big John's on the right.
You can't go wrong in any WV state park, especially ones with "Resort" in their name. Good restaurant and cafe on premises too.
Get reservations and pull up a sat picture. Campground is visible. It's three loops on the right about a mile from turn off main highway.

RE: Replacement Tires
I just went with 6 new Sumitomo 275 X 70R X 22.5 to replace my Michelins. FAR superior ride, better handling, quieter, load range higher and six were about $2,200.00.
Just got home Wednesday from 3,000 mile trip and couldn't be happier with the Sumis.

RE: Cruise Control
The brake lights on my Freightliner were sticking on and that would not allow the cruise control to be set. A little actuator under the brake pedal was sticking. A couple squirts of silicone spray and problem solved.

RE: Fridge & LP/Power
Doug Rainer will post I'm sure, but I don't think rv fridges have freon. They cool with ammonia.
Conversations I've had with Norcold indicate 40 degrees is within satisfactory limits.

RE: Shanandoah Valley, VA
To remind you again, be especially careful of the roads you use to access the BRP and Skyline Drive. Some are very crooked, narrow, steep, and have tight switchbacks.
Easy access is usually the ones near bigger cities, but if they have warning signs about vehicle length, not advised, etc., pay attention and believe them.
The BRP is free and Skyline Drive is toll. They meet right near I-64 at Waynesboro so if northbound it would be a good place to exit and head over to I-81. All beautiful, but a little bit of crooked 45 MPH max speed limit goes a long way, especially with kids.
If you intend to use USFS or NP campgrounds I'd suggest stopping early. They fill up in summer.
I see you're 36' long so REALLY pay attention to "STOP EARLY" . Limited number of big sites.

RE: Big rig parks between Jacksonville and Richmond
I think you might be disappointed going thru Richmond. The drive from Richmond to Crozet is very boring.

RE: Better route from West Coast to East Coast
Sorry, but I-80 is a serious mountain route. It goes over Donner Summit and is pretty much up hill from just east of Rocklin to Truckee is almost 80 miles. Good road, rough in spots from tire chains, but it sure isn't flat.
No big drop offs and a beautiful drive.

RE: Fuse box problems
This is a brand new trailer???? All of these repairs should be covered under the warranty. A re-wire will be quite expensive I would imagine.

Great campgrounds. Maybe their management team should run the whole government!

RE: Fridge & LP/Power
RV fridges cool quicker on gas than electric. I turn mine on at least 24 hours before a trip to give it a chance remove all the heat. Actually, they remove heat, they don't cool like a residential fridge.

RE: "Sirius" radio problem, 2008 Bounder
Get the Sirius app for your smart phone. App free, subscription for wife and me was about $30 a year. Then for about $20 get one of the little gadgets that plugs into the ear bud socket. Then your cellphone will play over any speaker system that has FM on it.

RE: Slideouts and jacks not working
On my '05 Meridian 36G the HWH system pump, shuttle valve and reservoir are under the entry steps. Feel under the lip of the 2nd and 3rd steps. There is a nut there (1/2" I believe). Take the nuts off and the step lifts up. They are hinged on the back.
Check here for loose wires. I just ordered pump and shuttle valve. Sit down. The shuttle was $56 and the pump was $884.00. I didn't need the pump so got mst of my money back for it. HWH will NOT sell to you, you have o go thru a dealer.
There is only one pump for both the slider and levelers.

RE: Shurflow pump won't work
Mine takes two gallons also. To use ten it would have to include several gallons in heater.
