RE: Rubber Roof Wrinkles
I had them on my last MH, a Pace Arrow. Didn't cause any problems at all.

RE: Ford 460 vs V10 1st vs V10 2nd gen
My last MH had the 460 and we had to put in a Banks kit to make it satisfactory on hills, not nearly enough power. My present unit has the later V10, which I love. Lots of poop, smooth, a great engine. But don't expect much difference in mileage, I only get the usual 8-10 depending on how I drive.

RE: Jayco Mattress
I think all you can do is replace it. I've heard good things about the "mattress in a box" deal. Around $400 and folks seem to be happy. We replaced the factory one in our Greyhawk with a Sleep Number. I don't recommend it, stick with a standard unit. Our problem was Jayco had a custom mattress with one rounded corner so we had to get a standard one (rv queen size) instead but it's no problem, we can still easily walk past the corner.

RE: WHERE TO BUY WATER FILTER CARTRIDGES, DRINKING WATER FAUCET?
It might be the Everpure, it should have the info on the cartridge that you prob can just unscrew underneath. They're pricey but I think CW has them.

RE: Maxxair vent covers
Fantastic doesn't recommend it (it says in their instructions to not use any cover) but I put Maxxairs on all my vents, including the one with the fan and it works just fine. May not give the maximum air flow but I can't tell any difference, and I can leave all vents open all the time. The Fantastic won't open quite all the way but it's still fine.

RE: A different kind of ant question
I read somewhere before that the waves bounce around in there and the ants are too small to be hit directly and affected, kind of like shooting at ants on the fence with a shotgun.

RE: Pictures of Jayco's Visitors Center
Do they let you take any photos inside, or when on the tour? We'll go there for sure if we travel anywhere in that part of the country.

RE: Jayco 21M 2009 leak inside bathroom wall
A vent pipe will not leak from itself but you could have a caulking leak. But, it doesn't sound like it since the second time was dry. Look very carefully under the sink at the water and waste lines, I'll bet there's a small leak somewhere (prob water line) that only leaks when the pump is pressurized. I had that on my Jayco MH under the kit sink.

RE: Jayco Melbourne 24e
We camped in our C and A for years without a toad, it really depends on what you like to do. You can certainly get along with just your rv but it will be a hassle if you're hooked up for any length of time. I think I'd recommend a small, light tow car to bring. You won't even know its behind you and it'll come in handy often. Honda Fit, CRV, lots of other coupes that are really light.

RE: Can't download AVG 9.0
Try Avast, I switched a while back and like it. The interface is a bit outdated but it works ok for a free one.

RE: Hydronic Heating Problem
I'm not familiar with RV hydronics, but lots of experience with commercial. Sounds like the circ pump may not be working right, or flow is restricted which will cause short cycling. Are all valves fully on, and all air out of the heating loop?

RE: Greyhawk 30gs- manual sideout return
Check the owners manual for the two spots where there is the wrench connection. On my 30GS the rear slide stuff is under the bed under the wooden cover, motor is right there. For the front slide I think its in the storage compartment under the slide, or maybe just above it when the slide is open. Can't remember for sure now, but there is a lug wrench that came with the MH.

RE: Every hose I get leaks at the connections!!!
Another thing, the cheaper hoses have stamped or pressed fittings on the ends. The better hoses have cast or machined heavier fittings which make a better seal. Like said above, make sure you use good washers.

RE: sharpen knifes
I had a Chef's Choice and didn't like it because it doesn't go all the way back and leaves a dull section near the handle. Those small ones you hold in your hand and draw the knife (or knives) through work well for me, then I touch it up with a "steel" like the chefs do.

RE: Does accumulator reduce water pump running?
I agree with the above, and I'd rather get a Home Depot one or one from Amazon or Ebay instead. Get a minimum of 1 gal size, no more than 2 gal and make sure its for potable fresh water, not for hydronic heating. I saw a 2 gal on Amazon for $22 plus 13 shipping.

RE: keeping fridge cold while travelling
Everyone travels with food in their refer. You'll get lots of answers on this one, but my way is keep the propane on, don't use 12v-it'll really drain your battery when you stop. I've traveled for prob 20 yrs with at least 4 rv's, always left the propane on, never had a problem. Most units nowadays don't seem to be 3 way, just propane or 115v. Some people just leave it off completely while on the move, figuring it'll stay cold enough with the door closed.

RE: Really, does anyone own a rig that DOESN'T give them grief?
My new-to-me 3 yr old Jayco C class has been really trouble free. It's a low mileage unit but still nothing has gone wrong including slides, roof, etc. My question is, how can anyone own an RV without being able to do lots of little repairs on your own. I have had to replace drawer slides, and a few minor things but if you're not handy with a drill, etc it can be a real pain.
Of course this doesn't count all the upgrades I've done, such as large inverter, wiring changes, adding CB, satellite wiring, additional 6v battery bank, another tank flusher,etc. The upgrade process is really half the fun of owning one, though.

RE: Monument Valley Hiway # 163
If you need hookups go to Gouldings. If you can do without for a day or two, you really should stay at the Tribal Park right on the edge of the valley. Spectacular views at sunset/sunrise and last time we were there it was only $10.

RE: California Highway 1
Whatever you do, don't take 1 north of SF. Very winding, slow, and tight. Switch to 101 if you go farther north, but all the rest south of SF is no problem.

RE: TPO roofing
I agree with the above, use the Dicor self leveling for the flat surfaces, and their regular for the vertical ones. Main thing is NO petroleum products on a rubber roof. No silicone, etc. Eternabond will work ok if you get a tear in the fabric but I'd use the caulks on any seams.
