RE: Checking TV cable signals
Could be there are no OTA transmiters within range (50 mikes) of where you were trying to bring in those channels. You need to go to a site like Antenna Web to find the location of transmitters in your immediate area, then point the antenna toward those transmitters an do a "Scan".

RE: Something I Read
Yu should carry a "Water Thief" with you. It is made out of rubber and slips over those faucets that have no threads. Then you hook a garden hose to the water thief and fill as usual. I carry a 6 gallon jug and strap it to a folding hand cart and haul my water back to the MH and then I use a spare 12V Shur flow pump with hoses to transfer from the jug into the gravity fill of the tank. A 6 gallon jug is to heavy to man handle so that is why I have a pump.
Here is a link to what he water thief looks like.

RE: Dometic frig is on, GAS / AC indicator light
Don't confuse the "failed to light" indicator with the gas indicator. The "failed to light" indicator only comes on when the propane burner fails to light.

RE: Driving certainvCalifornia Highways
Hwy 20 from Williams, I 5, to Hwy 101 is my preferred route and I drive a 32 ft MH towing a cRV. Sure it has some hills to climb but nothing that your RV can not handle. Have a good trip and you can fuel up at safeway in willits, right on hwy 101 and corner of hwy 20 in town.

RE: Fresh water tank plants
Sounds like you need to sanitize your tank, drain it and refill with fresh water, preferably from a Muni source that will have some chlorine in it and then add some household bleach to the tank and let it sit at least overnight before draining. bleach kills mold. repeat as needed. I don't know the proper mixture of bleach to water but google "sanitizing water tanks" and I am sure the mixture will come up somewhere.
Try here sanitize rv tanks

RE: What are these? And do they need replacing?
those are self resetting breakers. look on the side for the amperage rating, usually 20 amp or 30 amp. looks like they could use a little tender loving care, and while your at it might as well replace them, they don't cost that much.

RE: leveling and slide out
On my 2004 south wind, the directions say to level first then slide. Also bring the slides in first before retracting the leveler jacks. Works for me and if you just think about it for a minute, the slides will deploy straight and without binding when the RV is level as opposed to tilting from front to back or side to side

RE: 12 Volt Outlets
I use mine for my GPS. Also for the charger cord for my cell phones. Some people use them for an small invertor but you have to make sure the plug is wired with a heavy enough wire to carry the load.

RE: What is it? (pic)
back to the OP's question, it is a tool for a Delta single handle faucet to repair the faucet. The allen wrench fits the set screw to remove the handle and the other end is a spanner to tighten or loosen the packing nut that adjusts the tension on the "Ball" to obtain a proper pressure on the O rings below the ball to prevent leaking. When you buy a repair kit for a Delta facet the same wrench is usally included in the kit.

RE: dinghy towing odometer
my 2002 CRV does not register miles when being towed but you should keep a record of miles towed and add those miles to the driven miles to determine when to change the tranny and differential fluid. for example if your tranny fluid needs to be changed at 40,000 miles and you towed for 20,000 miles and drove for 20,000 miles, it would be time to change the fluid.

RE: Driving tips - newbie here
You probably have "Grade braking" in your transmission, touch the brakes and the transmission downshifts to use the engine compression to assist in braking. To stop the grade braking you have to press the throttle just a little and it should come out of grade braking. But then you need to use the brake pedal again because you are definetly going to fast down the mountain. You can also manually downshift the transmission to find the right gear to slow you down without letting the RPM's get to high. It would help if you posted what engine and transmission you have, and you will get more detailed instructions on how to operate that transmission. Always slow down before you start going down a mountain and then engage your grade braking.

RE: No power to slide outs
I know all slide out are operated differently. Mine are Power gear and to operate, parking brake set, gear shift in Park, motor running and then you can slide away. Dose your owners manual give instructions? ~If not what brand of slides do you have? Also give the directions you are using to try to operate your slide. Might help someone else trouble shoot. The reason power gear recommends having the motor running is then the alternator is putting at least 13.8 to 14.1 volts back into the battery while you are operating the slide. I know there will those that say they do not run their engine and if your manual says not to, then do what your manual says.

RE: No 12 v or 120 power
Just have to ask, are you plugged into a source of 120 V AC power? Or are you running the generator? Are your batteries fully charged up to 12.7 volts? Answer these questions and we can go from there.
