RE: TELL ME ABOUT ROOSEVELT LAKE WASHINGTON, PLEASE
Roosevelt Lake is behind Grand Coulee Dam. The south-western end is just over 200 miles east of Puget Sound. The temps during June - August can reach well over 100° during the afternoons. as has been mentioned, these north-central Washington lakes can get some very severe thermal winds in the PMs. And the snakes mentioned are rattlers.
I can't speak about the fishing. Folks do it, but fishing and catching are two different things.

RE: XM antenna
I have done the same thing as sccawildcat. It works just great. The signals come through the fiberglass roof just fine.

RE: Vancouver or Victoria?
Just a heads up as to weather. This time of year, you can expect a lot of rain and possible snow. Temps ranging from the mid 20s to the low 50s. It is possible not to see the sun again until April.
I lived in the Puget Sound basin for 45 years. Definitely bring your rain coats.

RE: FURNACE WOES on 1997 Itasca Suncruiser
Locate the six pin connector from the bottom edge of the ignitor control board. (On edge along the left end of the blower fan, just above the LP connection.)
Remove and re-attach this connector several times. Some times a very small amount of corrosion will reduce the power to the ignitor and cause the spark to be too weak to ignite the gas.
I have had the identical issue with my SF-42.
Low voltage from the house batteries may also cause the furnace to not ignite.
It could also be that the ignitor has moved out of position. There are instructions for adjusting that in the document which may be in the huge blue notebook that Winnebago puts in the coach. that procedure is fairly complicated and may be best left to an experienced technician.
Good luck.

RE: best 4x4 to tow and How??
I don't know if it is "The Best", but I am very happy with my '01 S-10 Blazer 4x4.
Only the ones with a trans-axle which has a neutral position, may be towed four down.

Another vote for the heated mattress pad. They are great. We have one at home and another in the MH.

RE: Definition of "under inflated".
Thanks guys.
hwybnb, just because I posted the question, does not indicate that I don't know the answer. From what I have been reading about folks inflating to the max on the sidewall, there are some folks on the forum who don't and I thought the information should be presented once again.

Definition of "under inflated".
I have been seeing several differing ideas relative to the inflation of tires on motor homes. The range seems to be from using the pressure indicated on the tires it self, as "maximum", down to the pressure found on the tire manufacturers load chart based on weight of the rig.
When someone makes reference to "under inflation, are they saying that the tire has been run below the maximum, or below the indicated load pressure? There could be a considerable difference.
Please, lets hear from some tire guys. Opinions I already have.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Anyone recommend Las Vegas RV Service?
I have used Discount RV Repair (702) 565-3831 on a couple of occasions, and been very pleased with the service and the charges. This is a mobile service that comes to where you are parked. He has repaired my levelers and my furnace on two different calls. He is very knowledgeable and very fair to deal with.

RE: Taking DISH Network on the road
You might inquire about adding an additional receiver to your account at you home. then when you go on the road simply take that receiver in you rig and use you already installed dish.
I believe that the cost may be lower. Many folks on this forum do just that.
I have two receivers. HiDef at home which feeds two TV sets, and a non-HiDef receiver which stays in the MH.
When we are away form our home area, I phone DISH and have the local channels transferred to what ever city we are near. When we get back to WA, I call and have them returned to the Seattle locals, which are receivable pretty much all over WA.

RE: Really, does anyone own a rig that DOESN'T give them grief?
In 2002 we bought our '97 Vectra. It was in excellent condition, but I did know going in that there were going to be some issues that would need improving on a P-30 chassis. After these "drivability" items were correct, we have had vertually no grief. There is always regular maintenance, as with any vehicle.
We have driven it about 45,000 miles, and lived in it about for months a year.
Grief and expenses are all relative. We owned boats for years. The kind that moored in the water year round. Now that is truly a "money pit".

RE: Needing to buy snow chains asap
I agree with Rob, I carry them to comply with the law, but I avoid putting them on. I have had to escape Wenatchee between snow storms a couple of times.
I would also agree that the rig is pretty stable on snow. We had the opportunity to find out in northern CA, in March a couple of years ago. We headed north too early.
If chains installed are required, we wait it out. The damage potential of breaking a chain and tearing up the wheel well of the MH does not balance out with a short delay for us retired folks.

RE: park lock 04 newmar
This may be caused by the BTSI system. There is an interlock, which is supposed to release when you step on the service brake. There is a solenoid most likely on the lower portion of the steering column, which activates a rod that locks the shift selector. If that solenoid does not operate correctly for some reason, the shift selector will be stuck in Park.
I can give you more information relative to a GM chassis, but if yours is one of the others, someone else will have to jump in with help.
If I can be of additional help, PM me and we can go from there.

RE: Motorhome tail swing
"The formula is three to one. For every three feet of rear overhang, allow one foot of tail swing room. That will give you the clearance you need. for instance, nine feet of overhang, allow three feet of room to clear."
This may be what you are looking for. this is from a previous thread on this subject. I can't personally verify this, but it sounds about right.
