RE: What wax do u use for ur front cap
Just had my girlfriend wash the 5er and and then she waxed it with Nu Finish and she said it went on great and was easy to use, and it only took her two days to do the job. She is getting older and slowing down some but it is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of trailer maintenance as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are overly sensitive, and there’s nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.
She had to take a break when she was only half-finished washing and waxing the 5th Wheel. I tried not to make a scene. I’m a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me, too.
I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support her. I’m not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older. However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging girlfriend or wife because of this post, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile.

RE: LEDs replaced florescents but get hot
Your problem could be:
I bought 28 "48SMD LED Light panels)to convert the 12 Volt lights to LEDs.
I bought these LEDs on E-Bay for $2.75 each.

RE: Propane tanks in '93 Alpenlite
I have seen people that have just stamped their own tanks with a new date and continued to keep getting them refilled.
I would never condone this method, but it has worked in a pinch.

RE: Electric stabilizers have no power
On my 5th in the cargo pass through is a landing gear/stabilizer disconnect switch. Maybe you have the same.

RE: Bird nest in the pin-box
Are there still eggs in the nest? You know, you can't use your FW until the little birdies leave for good.
Wren eggs aren't too bad on a toasted English Muffin.

RE: Electrical Shock from Coach
On my Toyhauler, I was crawling underneath to check the spare tire and I received a little tingle when I came into contact with some metal cross bracing, and after doing some checks I found the 50 amp connector to the trailer had not been twisted into place to lock it in. I gave it a twist and all was well.

RE: 2013 RAM HDs driven/tested
I am starting to look at the new Dodge 4500, but does anyone know if you can order one with the Western Style Truck mirrors or am I going to be stuck with the small mirrors.

RE: Impact wrenches
If you go the floor jack route, a boondocking neighbor I camped by once, had a floorjack that was aluminum and that thing was real light. Check some of the race car sites to find one.

RE: Impact wrenches
I use a Milwaukee Impact Wrench, it is light weight and has the suds to get the job done.
Could I use a breaker bar and socket- sure, but when it's hot, hot, hot, out, it's great to get the job done quick.

Firefox Tip
Here's a Firefox Tip I just learned yesterday:
Have you ever had multiple tabs open and closed the wrong one?
If you have and want to get it back quickly- just hit Ctrl-Shift-T and it will reappear.
Anyone else have any Firefox Tips?

Water filters - bestest & cheapest
From what I have found, the "bestest" will not be the cheapest and the cheapest will not be the "bestest", so my question which do you want- the "bestest" or the cheapest?:h

RE: Gas/service station with ample in and out space????
Most gas stations are filled by semis. I did that for 17 years. I haven't found one yet I couldn't get in with my 5er. Its much smaller than any of my semis were, and will turn much tighter.
When I go to a station to fill, I need to get to the pumps with my pickup and 5th wheel, not the area the fuel tanker dumps the fuel into the UG tanks.
Just wondering what the above poster was thinking?

You might get a better answer by going to one of the Chevy Diesel Forums that just deal with these trucks.

RE: Yet Another LED thread: porch light 1003 & bugs version
Not sure why you would spend $33 for one LED when you could buy two of these for $8.
I tried the $8 led bulbs and they lasted about a year, then I got smart and ordered the Starlights bulbs and they have been going strong for 2+ years.
Just remember the old saying-- you get what you pay for. no more El Cheapo bulbs for me.

RE: Breaker keeps triping
I'm set up on a lot have 30 amp breaker in box and it trips one or two times a week what can I do to stop this
Can you tell what you are powering in your rig? When is the breaker exactly opening-using the microwave? hotwater heater?
I have one of the Progressive Industries EMS units and with the remote display I can tell how many AC Amps I am using:
Microwave 15 Amps
Coffee Pot 8 Amps
Water Htr 12 Amps
Space Htr 13 Amps
It all adds up and until you know how much power you are using, trouble shooting will be a bit tough.
