RE: Maxxis tires cracking
Yes check the date code that is stamped on tire. It is near the DOT stamp. How old is your trailer? You can buy BRAND NEW TIRES that were lying around in a warehouse for a few years and you think thet were just made last month. I just bought a used 5ver this summer and prev owner showed me the reciepts for 4 brand new tires that he had installed. Yes they looked good yet the date code shows 19th week of 2004.:S

RE: Would you say anything?
If nothing else, I at least say hi and in first few words I can get a reading on what kind of capmers they are. I make a decision in those few first words if I want to say anything or keep it small talk and say see ya. I have had people come up to me and point out small things and I would at least thank them. One thing was the campground owner said a storm was near and asked if I knew about tilting the awning so rain will not pond. I thanked him for his concern and did tilt the awning as it needed. I could have told him to but off however that is not my style. He was just trying to help incase I did not know about tilting.

RE: 12 Volt dc Converter
On my 1995 Fleetwood Wilderness the converter is below the fridge just behind the grate cover. Just 4 screws come off and there it is. My fuse and breaker compartment are just to right of that with pull down door for access. Now to check things and keep it simple I would first get volt meter amd see what volts are on batteries with no eclectric power to rv. Check volts on battery post themselves. Next check volts at the battery cable connections and see if volts are lower. If yes then you found a problem with bad battery terminal or corrosion. After that plug electric into trailer and volts should jump up to about 13.2 volts if converter is charging. If you have 13 or higher than you might just have bad batteries or a draw on the system. The draw can be located with another test that I can explain once you are sure batts and connections are good and clean.

RE: Good Sam ERS
That is great news,glad you had possitive experience with ERS from GoodSam. Was the repairman an indepentant company that repaired the brakes? Also was it a leaking brake line that caused the no pedal.
I bought my first RV a 95 Fleetwood 5ver this year and even though I do all my own repairs I opted to get the GoodSam ERS just incase.
I have read mixed feedback from people that broke down but it does depend on who show up at the location.

RE: Our second RV trip
The speed limit is the max limit and does not mean you are required to be at that speed or faster. You do see signs that will say minimum speed of 45 or 50 sometimes but no where does it say you have to maintain the max speed limit or beyond :S

Our second RV trip
We went about 500 miles with are 5ver from NJ to PA Hershey High Meadow Campground, then to family reunion near Bloomsburg PA and then down too South Jersey Campground. This was our second trip with our 95 Wilderness 5ver and we are extreamly happy with our 2 trips. The only thing that surprized me was the speeds other campers were driving while towing on RT 80 and PENN turnpike. I was keeping around 65 and was passed by many campers. Once I was passed by 3 in a row as if they were racing. They were 1 5ver and 2 TT's all on each others bumpers. I have all the towing power I need with my 7.3 Powerstroke that is not stock but I refuse to tow my 5ver over 70.
Am I just too old fashioned or are these guys nuts :h
Our next trip is to Gettysburg Battleground and some haunted tours

RE: RV Vacation 61% Cheaper
I beleive if you look at a broader picture of travel vacation that RV is much cheaper. Last spring wife and I had to fly from NJ to Alabama to see daughter at Air Force graduation and the cost of flying to Alanta, wait for connecting flight,fly to Alabama,rent car,pay for hotel,pay for all meals,pay for rental gas high dollars,on return trip,sat in first air port 5 hours for weather delay, flew to second air port only too miss connecting flight,stay for 3 more hours for next flight,land at home, pay 75.00 parking for our car. We never got too see a thing from all the rushing around.
After that trip we bought our first RV, a 30 foor 5th wheel and have gone out 3 times and seems like we can go places for very little cost. We did by a 1995 RV for 4000. that is perfect condition and store it at house so we have very little cost even with insurance. We are going to go on more vacations now as we can afford it with the use of 5th wheel trailer. We call it our summer home with no property taxes.

RE: Help! How do I loosen a stuck brake adjuster?
yes some just use the spring to hold tension against the adjuster and dont have any auto adjuster. If it is tight then try to go both directions while holding the tab or spring in further. It is a simple process if you took the drum off and looked at it. Could be just rusted

RE: Help! How do I loosen a stuck brake adjuster?
yes the newer brake setups have the tab to stop the adjuster from backing off. The brake adjuster tool will not turn star backwards until you push the tab in to take the tension off the star adjuster like the car auto adjuster works with tention
Some of them just have the spring that holds the star adjuster from backing off. Just need to push the spring inwards to rotate the adjuster

RE: Help! How do I loosen a stuck brake adjuster?
you just need to look in there with good light and you will see a metal tab that holds the star from rotating to loosen. Just take a small screw driver or knife and push the metal tab away from the star as you attempt to rotate the star.
