RE: To Bomb or not to Bomb?
I've heard carpenter ants prefer wet wood. I hope they are not indicating another problem.
my thought too
I have only seen them in dry wood. I read something to that effect as well.

RE: To Bomb or not to Bomb?
I would try bait for a week before any toxic bombs.
Get 3 different brands as sometimes the ants can be picky about the attactant.
Terro is one of the best IMO. (as long as the ants go for it) Just sugar and borax soap so basically nontoxic.
I agree. For ants they have to take the poison back to the nest to share with the rest of the family. Terro has always worked well for the small ants, I don't know about the big guys. The poison with borax seems to be the best. There is Terro dust that may fit your need:Terro

RE: To Bomb or not to Bomb?
You need something that they will take back to their nest and share. Terro works on small ants, I don't know about your little buddies. If they are carpenter ants they may be residing in the walls consuming the wood products.

RE: Brakes sticking
You need to take it for a short test drive. Manually apply the brakes about half way and drive for a maybe half a mile to clean the magnet brake and drum surfaces and also the brake shoes. After doing that test the brakes for lockup, the same as when you adjust the controller. If you get the lockup again it is time to take a look inside.

It was the cereal boxtop and Ovaltine offers for me. I hope your order shows up today.
I'm waiting for FedEx to pull in with my Verizon Wireless Network Extender to arrive today. I will have cell phone service at home for the first time in nine years.

It's like waiting for Santa to arrive with that toy you have been wishing for.

RE: Urgently Need Help Diagnosing Dead Electrical System
Did you examine the wires that went to the trailer plug up front to see if something got messed up there? That seems to be where everything started.

Ok, what are you getting when unplugged. The 13.42 voltage is what the converter is putting out.

RE: Sulphur Smell .....Epilogue
Have you followed cars, especially going up a hill, and smelled the sulfur smell from their exhausts? That would make me think that your TV exhaust may be collecting in the trailer. Just a thought.

RE: Water won't boil??
You may save yourself time and money by taking the rig to a dealer that can check the pressure and the regulators. Parts changing can be more expensive when you don't really know what the problem is. We had a problem with our fridge not cooling with no apparent problems with anything else. It turned out that the regulator was only giving 4" of pressure instead of 11". A new regulator did the trick and "oh wow" how much stronger the stove flame was than before.

KeystoneRV Passport Express SL
We were looking at a Passport Express SL 238ML bunkhouse model. We liked the size and layout. Does anyone have any opinions of the Passport Express models?

RE: portable battery power
If you can do it, consider adding a second battery connected in parallel with the present one. We have dual batteries on our HiLo and raise the top from the batteries. There is always power left for dry camping. If your present battery is getting old you should probably buy two new batteries for better results.
