RE: Emergency Roadside Service
We have had Two Breakdown Experiences with AAA (BCAA) ,both were in California and in Both cases we were left Stranded to do Our Own Repair / Tow Thing!
Upon Our return to Home in BC Canada after the First incident (which involved a Push to a Safe Rest area by a CHP Officer with His Patrol Car followed by a Self Replacement to the Fuel Pump on Our old Southwind) I contacted BCAA who told Me that They were having an issue with AAA in California and apologized for the Poor service. They then reimbursed Me for the Full Cost of the fuel Pump and Tools needed to Install it (A Bigger Wrench)!
The second Incident was resolved in an equally Fair manner. They reimbursed Me Fully for towing by a Commercial Tow Truck from the Side of a Busy freeway to a Repair facility. I didn't even bother phoning the Toll free number , which is the required procedure. My Excuse was that it was based on the previous experience and the response was "Here's your check Sir"!
If ever I have to Use BCAA again I will call them first to report the Problem and explain the procedure that I will be using to remedy the situation.
I will continue to Use BCAA as from all reports and My Own personal experience, They are No worse than Any of the alternatives!

Looking for Wireless Indoor Outdoor Thermometer
I have decided that we need one of those I/O Thermometers. Can anyone recommend a Make/Model to Me. I would like to be able to monitor the temperature in at least 3 Remote locations!
I can find all kinds of these things on the Web however I would like to hear from someone who actually uses one!

RE: Buying a genny and bringing it back to Canada
Just to clarify a small point. You can't obtain CSA Certification. That is an expensive and rigorous process that even Many Manufacturers don't pursue!
You can however have a Provincial Electrical Inspection done that allows You to Connect the device to the Mains!
Of course the big question is why would You bother even doing that. Are You going to Power Your Home? Surely not with any Honda 2000!
I Certainly can't council You to Break any Laws , but I would doubt that anyone would care about CSA approval!
We have Imported Several RV's and a Boat Over the Years and CSA means Nothing to the RIVA!

RE: Tow Bar & The Toad
Be careful when using Locks instead of the supplied Pins! The Metal used on Many Padlocks can Shear or crack with use, which may allow the Hitch to separate!

RE: Suggestions for Inexpensive, lightweight dinghy
We Tow a 92 Tracker Soft Top. 2 WD 5 Speed Standard! It Tows fine in Neutral with the Key Turned to Acc to Unlock the Steering! The Odometer Counts up and the Battery will go Dead if not started once or twice a Day! Other than That It is a Fun Little Car that Takes Us Everywhere we want to go!
They also come in 4X4 and with an Automatic!

RE: Run a seperate 20A circuit?
On Our Old rig ,I installed an extra Circuit that We used to Power the "Hott Rod"
in the Atwood Water Heater, as well as an Occasional ,1500 Watt Heater. It Plugged in to an Extension Cord which was connected to the Park's 20 Amp Plug! Nothing Fancy, basically just a Hard wired Outlet with a Grounded Plug !

RE: Tech Help
You could have a leak above that runs down to that area. Loose Fuel Line?
Is it a Cat or Cummins .... Spartan or Freightliner?

RE: 21' awning roller tube????
You may want to check Your Insurance to see if it is covered. Most replace the whole Awning!

RE: Replacing chassis battery
Just another thought. Have You checked your Oil Lately? We had a car once that exhibited several of those symptoms . It turned out to be Low Oil pressure when the Oil level dropped about 1/2 a litre!

RE: Soft PVC in diesel tank
Ive been driving around with a piece of that same tubing stuck inside My Gas Tank for about 5 Years. I did the same thing as You , needed some gas for a Lawn Mower or something. Stuck the tube in fine but it hung up when I tried to pull it out, I pulled real hard and the Tube broke, Duh!
Do Whatever You think is best. Since most Plastics are Oil derived they likely will eventually dissolve, but that could take a very long time!
