RE: Atwood water heater humming noise
Mine also has a humming/buzzing sound when there has been lots of hot water use. It stops after a few minutes so im assuming its as the water comes up to temp. It not really loud, and I don't worry about it at all. Our rig has been in service four years

RE: Factory installed LED lights in awning
from what I saw at the rv show, the led lights installed in the roller tube of the awning took power from the 12v motor leads.

RE: Ram Hemi fuel mileage
my 2004 hemi half ton with 3:55 rear end was good for 18mpg city and 10mpg towing 7000lbs. Im sure a 3/4ton gas will be a bit worse than that...as its heavier with a different rear end gearing.

RE: Jasper park all booked up in one minute?
yeah opening morning was a little stressful. I was online, logged on and ready to book for early August. My browser needed to be refreshed to start booking at 8am....so I had to log in again while watching sites turn from green to red. The full hook up sites with fire-pits go very fast! If you want long weekends those are also hard to come by. Sadly you are competing for sites with folks all over canada and the U.S so getting adjacent sites is tough. I do prefer this to booking a "type" of site then getting assigned when you arrive. That made getting next to friends very challenging.

RE: One Year Down!!
I am 12 years from retirement, but I eagerly read the posts from those hitting the road ahead of me. Its encouraging to hear all the good/bad and ugly truths that folks encounter along the way. Im just thrilled that so many folks seem to thrive on the lifestyle and persevere despite "life" getting in the way. Safe travels to all of you.

RE: Engine Cool-Off Question
yep, exact opposite for me also. Im always stunned how I can walk past my front fender an hour after setting up camp...and the heat is just radiating off the diesel motor. Now I know why there are so many coolers under there!

RE: 5th wheel protection in Alaska
Give it a few coats of wax and have fun. Seriously other than slowing/moving over a bit while being passed there is very little you need to do other than having all routine maintenance up to date. Spare wiper fluid, and maps/guides to where you are staying. So many folks make the trip every year and hopefully will jump in with their recent experiences. Have a great safe trip.

RE: Tongue jack crank having issues....
Yeah, ours did that after several years. Required a complete replacement. As said, I would opt for the powered version...and yes it comes with a manual crank in the event of no power.

RE: First time dry camping
I would call your dealership and see just what battery is being "thrown in" with the purchase. Pay the difference to upgrade right now from the cheap series 24 to a group 31 (or two). Lots of reading her on twin golf cart batts as well. Might as well start with a decent boondocking battery or two right from the start.

RE: Leveling and chocks
A buddy was building a new deck with that plastic wood decking. He gave me all the end cuts so I use them for all my jacks. Its heavy stuff but it wont absorb moisture...

RE: Ahh Rats, Blackstone report
I had squirrels tear out huge patches of the firewall heat protection fabric over a three day weekend at a family cabin. Opened up the hood to do an oil change and I was stunned at how fast they tore it up. Im sure they had an awesome nest that winter.

RE: Run furnace at night while drydocked?
I would warm the rig up at bed time with the genset running, and batts charging then shut off the generator. Keep the thermostat set at a conservative value and you will be fine. the batts will need a charge in the morning, but that's why you have the generator right. best of luck.

RE: Does max turn front cap need slider hitch
Lots of trailers have the front cap styled to achieve amazing clearances....but often I see a number like 88 degrees....
Well at 88 degrees your awesome, but at 89 or 90 degrees your gonna punch out the glass, dent the cab and possibly crush the fiberglass cap. I would want a demonstration showing a true jacknife on the identical combo before I would rule out a slider. I speak from experience of having "dented" my cab during what I thought was an innocent backing up experience.

RE: First tow with 2012 Ram 3500 Dually
Mine is parked in the garage for the winter, but every few weeks I go visit it....lol
At first the longhorn interior was way over the top, but I just love it. after having the heated steering wheel in the truck, now all my vehicles will have this feature. My new van has it as well and for most Canadians its a BLESSING.
