RE: Deep Fryers
We carry a Fry Daddy Jr. with us for those occasions when it's called for. It normally travels packed in a plastic bag stowed in our under the bed storage area.

On our 1996 Ford it is located under the doghouse drivers side towards the front on the top.

Note that this is an OBD1 port, NOT an OBD2 port, and requires a Ford specific scanner.

RE: Jack Leveler Question
I don't have automatic levelers, just a Bigfoot manual push button EZE Leveler jack system. It normally takes me no more than two minutes to fully level right from the driver's seat. On occasion on an abnormally unlevel site, I do have to get out and stick some boards in a low spot under a jack or two, or under all of the jacks in particularly soft conditions, but that's pretty rare. I too have seen some rigs with poorly operated/poorly adjusted levelers taking an inordinate amount of time to level up. I generally just attribute it to either inexperience or ineptitude on the part of the operator.

RE: I have an odd question, have you forgotten where you are?
I often have to think for a minute when I first wake up to remember exactly where we are. It even happens when we're at our base cottage when we're sleeping in the coach. I've always just attributed it to waking up in a familiar setting that happens to not always be in a familiar location.

RE: Awning Clamps
I have two of the clamps in your link installed on my 19' awning. They work well for both purposes, preventing the awning from unfurling as well as supporting the tube while under way. Hooking and unhooking them is easily done with an awning rod.

RE: For those Who Monitor the Temperature in the Refridgerator
We use an ACU_RITE Refrigerator/Freezer Wireless Digital Thermometer to monitor the fridge and freezer. It records highs and lows, and can be set to alarm at user settable out of band temps.

RE: Stove fan vent
Bumpy, I have no clue why they have latches. If the vent was metal I could understand. With a magnet on mine now it stays closed so no air or flapping anyway. I could not reach mine without a ladder.
My vent latches are easily done/undone with an awning rod from the ground. I like the magnet idea, but I don't think it would work reliably with our variable speed fan on its slower settings.

RE: Carpet driving me to maybe buy a diesel-is that nuts?
Any upholstery shop can put carpet around the engine cover. It is not that difficult.
Yep, I've even seen an engine cover that was redone with the same wood laminate that was used on the floor. It looked good, although not to my taste.

RE: Brake Light Question
I prefer to have my brake lights come on regardless of which brakes are activated. When the coach brakes are applied, all six brakes lights, three on each vehicle, come on. If the toad brakes are applied by my ReadyBrute/ReadyBrake tow bar without the coach brakes being applied for some reason, only the three toad brake lights will come on. That includes if they ware applied by the emergency breakaway cable. The diodes protect both vehicles from any cross feeding.

RE: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
Just when I was about to install new wiper blades I noticed the arms were pretty faded with some light rusting and overall, looked pretty crappy. Also, one of the arm spray nozzles was broken and was just hanging by the rubber hose. I removed both arms, sanded and primed them and will repaint tomorrow. I also ordered two new spray nozzles, which hopefully will be delivered before we head out next Friday.

My squirt hose on my wiper had to be replaced as snapped off.
Now I notice my spray is only hitting the top of the windshield..
is this normal do you know ??
When working properly, mine spray from the center of the wiper blade both up and down on the windshield and no where near the top of the windshield. I have Dyna wiper arms and the nozzles are attached with the same screw/nut the holds the blade to the arm. Maybe it has shifted and is now aimed too high. If that is not the case and they are damaged, you can buy just the spray nozzles or a complete kit with nozzles, hose and clamps. I purchased them from here:
http://www.millsupply.com/
I ordered the parts on Friday (6/7) at 10:49 AM and according to the tracking info I received, I'll have them on Mon (6/10), so I'm impressed so far. Good luck.

Thank you for the information...crap something else to repair... but better now then later...
Check your nozzles for a screw slot in each one. Mine are individually adjustable just by rotating them with a small screwdriver.

RE: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
Replaced both coach batteries and the single starting battery. The old coach batteries were Everstart group 24 Marine's, and surprisingly, the starting battery was also an Everstart Marine battery, although a group 27. According to the receipts we found in the coach when we bought it in 2008, the group 24's were purchased in 2003, and the group 27 in 2004, so they all had a pretty good run. I installed a new Everstart MAXX group 27 845 CCA actual starting battery, and replaced the two group 24 coach batteries with Everstart MAXX group 29 Marine batteries. All three batteries were built by Johnson Controls in May. I also replaced the dying OEM battery in our 2002 RAV4 with an Everstart MAXX group 35 battery, and was pleased to see that one was made this month. They don't get much fresher than that!

RE: Burning RV's
According to the NFPA, about 75% of all vehicle fires are engine or drive line related.

RE: Windshield Wiper question with picture
I bought replacement nozzles for my Coachmen's wipers from a local bus sales and service company. NAPA could order them for me, but the bus dealer had them in stock for about the same price. The parts are cheap enough, do it right.

RE: Movin around SC & GA Coast - experiences
We had a great time at the Mount Pleasant KOA in March, albeit the weather was a bit chillier than we'd have liked. Nice campground, nice staff, and the sites were well maintained and didn't feel badly crowded together. We didn't use it, but they did have an air supported cover over the pool, making it available for year round use. The location is very quiet with a rural feel, although many major stores are just a few blocks away.

RE: Medicare question...opinions please
I have a United Healthcare Advantage Plan with Part D that has a zero premium, but I don't know how widely available that is. In my Upstate NY county, it was the only plan available to me that included hearing aid coverage.

RE: A case for maintenance
Well, you don't exactly lose the brakes and steering entirely, but they do require significantly more muscle to operate when the power assist systems fail.
