RE: Stone shield

I did two things to protect my crv, first I lowered the mud flaps behind the wheels, and 2nd I installed a skirt across the rear of my motorhome, which is not a solid pc but is like bristles, also if a skirt or mud flap is too low and drags it will throw debris on your toad. Have never had a problem with my setup.

RE: Honda CRV battery

I have a 2008 cr-v, have never had a problem with the battery going dead while towing, but I do have the charging wire attached, as discussed previously. Also I have towed for long periods of time per day, but the manual tells me to stop and run the cr-v thru the gears after 8 hours of towing which I do. Maybe you manual is different.

RE: Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, etc... How far in advance?

as said previously, you can stay at the western entrance to yellowstone, which is in montana, or on the eastern side at cody,wy, however its still a good drive to get into the park. If you go late summer I found that you don't need reservations in either of these locations. I tried it late last summer and it worked out fine for me and I stayed in both of these locations. I did have reservations at the grand canyon but nowhere else was it necessary. I have found a lot of campgrounds tell you that you need reservations very early but that doesn't seem to be true a lot of the time.

RE: storing of batteries for winter.

Thanks to all for your suggestions, I decided to store them in the basement, and also think I will look at the Harbor Freight batt float charger, sounds like this might be the best idea for long term use.

storing of batteries for winter.

I've pulled my batteries out of motorhome, including engine battery, and have charged them, my question should I store them in the basement where the temperature is usually a constant 60 degrees or store them in my garage where the temperature varies because of outside temperatures, usually about 30 to 65 degrees?

RE: grey & black valves are getting stiff to open & close.

I have already used wd40, then used 30 weight oil, temperature is in the 60 degree range, however this has been a problem for a month or so. Did not operate the valves in cold weather. As I said the oil helped a little, however the grey is really hard to operate.

grey & black valves are getting stiff to open & close.

The grey and black valves are getting stiff when I open and close, I read that its good to apply 30 weight oil to the stem, which I did and it helped a little. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate your help.

RE: Dead Battery-Honda CRV

Sounds like you have another problem, battery should not go dead when towing only 20 minutes. Maybe you have a bad battery.

RE: Debate on what is "level"

lot of good suggestions, however I checked the counter top, floor and the frig with good levels, found out that the little cheap bulls-eye level used on the frig is good, get the bubble partially in the circle and you will be ok. The only thing you care about is getting the frig level. Once you do this you can check anything else, doors etc and they will be ok.

RE: Rent RV space with hookups on private property?

It would appeal to us, however depends on time and price, I have stayed at places like yours previously at a discounted rate and would do so again.

RE: Arizona Water Question

The info I've heard is that you most likely should have a two stage filter system, like on the web page you refer to., think you need something to handle the minerals and hard water which will protect your water system, the rest of the filtering is up to you to decide.
