RE: What is the right way?

Good morning
I tend to park as far back as I can to get away from the road, but it varies depending on trees, how tilted the space is, can the satellite see the southern sky, where the hookups are.. sometimes I'm straight in the spot, sometimes slanted for more shade. pretty much depends on what I want or need at the time. We spend more of our time in state, county, and federal parks where spaces are usually a little farther apart so I don't need to worry about the neighbors.

RE: RV storage around Sun City West, az

You also have RV Harbor off of Bell rd and Grand Ave. Paved, covered, with power and dump station. Managers live onsite, electronic checkin/checkout, nice folks to work with.

RE: E450 handeling problems

Our 2004 E450 wandered a lot when we first had it also. It's got all the suspension stuff done. Turned out be the air pressure in all the tires and the air bags. I now run the rear duals at 78 - 80, the front at 72 - 75 and keep the air bags at 80. Rides and drives nicely now. She is very sensitive to air pressure fluctuations and pressure imbalance from side to side.

RE: Brake Adjustments Ford E450 Motorhomes

We took our 31C Winne to a regular Ford dealer. They handle delivery trucks so it's no problem to do a similar size RV.

RE: Looking for an e-Reader with games

Good Morning
I have a Nook color that I added the chip from N2A to convert it to an Android tablet. This removes all the restrictions that B&N put on the Nook so You can load as many games or apps as it can hold from about anywhere. It includes both Nook and Kindle software so you still have ereader capability.

RE: Removed FM/Stereo Receiver - Now Loud Humming Noise

Good morning
Our RV has the surround sound installed and when not connected to either the TV or the radio it humms a bit. It just can't remember the words for some reason!! Won't hurt anything just irritating.

RE: frig

Easy to check. I picked up a bubble level at Wal-Mart in the RV section. Norcold manual says anything less than 1/2 a bubble out of level is good. I glued it to the bottom of the fridge. Half a bubble out of level I can't even feel. Says to me they want it pretty level..

RE: Motorcycle tent

ya, we spent 5 weeks in the Timeout 3 years ago and had the best time. We always take the dog with us so between the dog on the motorcycle and the popup camper we always had visitors when we were camped.

RE: Motorcycle tent

You might check out the motocamping site at:
Motocampers
for motorcycle tent camping type info. Also try the motorcycle towing site if you are interested in towing a small trailer with your Harley:
Motorcycle Trailer towing site
I towed a Timeout camper for for several years with my Ultra Classic and loved it.

RE: Train from Williams to South Rim ?

Since you are in the area check out the Verde Canyon Railroad. IMHO a much better trip and train. We found the grand canyon trip boring and got tired of the entertainment always wanting tips. Some even got indignant when we didn't want to tip them..

RE: From Deming to Roswell

Be very careful of the speed limit on the Indian Res. around Mescalaro They will stop you for just a couple of mph over. Watch the Indians crossing the road. They tend to ignore crossing rules etc. Roads are good everywhere.

RE: how do I repair a stripped out screw hole in the wall

thanks donn0128, I like simple fixes. Simple and durable is even better. I had thought about glue but needed an idea on something to put in the hole to make it smaller.

how do I repair a stripped out screw hole in the wall

Well, the subject says it all. My Winnie has those thin wood walls and some of the screws holding misc. plates and brackets are stripping out. How do I repair the holes so I can tighten the wood screws and keep thing from coming off the wall? :(

RE: Kirtland Air Force Base to Bryce Canyon

Be aware that 89 is closed going north towards Page from Flagstaff. Maybe I40 exit at gallap, up 491 and across 160 at Shiprock. Pick up 98 into Page. Long trip across a lot of indian res so don't expect much for stop spots or scenery. (unless you like rocks and dirt). Be sure and Fuel in Gallap and have a place picked to stop for the night. Not to many RV places in this area and need to be careful where you stop on the reservation. Probably a 2 day trip each way as it looks to be close to 600 miles.

RE: Dish receiver and battery draw.

Yep, the 622 draws 120 watts ALL the time. It's never really off. the fan on ours runs constantly and the hard drive a most of the time. Other than that it works great. We use a 3 LNB Winegard traveler with ours so we get all the HD channels. We connect to a 27" LED tv and get 1080I.
The Winegard automatic dish can be turned off after it finds the satelites so no further battery drain there.
We normally have to unplug the unit or turn off the converter to save battery power when done watching. Down side to that is when we turn it back on it does a schedule download at startup. Not a real inconvenience just a slight delay.
We have 2 6v so we have lot's of capacity and all LED lighting. Hope this helps a little.

RE: Nook HD or Kindle Fire...

Good Morning
We've been using Nook and Nook colors for years. We don't like the way B&N locked down the android OS so we have the chips from N2A Chip
in ours which gives you the latest Android version which includes both Kindle and Nook ereaders along with a Memory boost. Works well for us.
