RE: Generator stops when running Microwave - Need advise
Thanks everyone. I was able to fix this.
I removed the carburator, sprayed everything w/ carb cleaner and it works just fine. I will replace the fuel filter next. This was probably the culprit.

Durango. What to do in October w/ kids?
Hello,
We are heading to Durango for 4-5 days w/ 2 kids (12-17).
We have been there before in early summer doing the 4x4 trails, Sand Dunes and cruising around.
I was wondering if anyone had other suggestions for the area. We are driving a Class C w/ a tow behind.
Thanks,
Mike

Generator stops when running Microwave - Need advise
Hello,
We have a Generac 40G generator in our Class C. It only has 50hrs or so and it seems to run smoothly. Just recently, it started shutting off when we run a large load. A microwave turns it off as well as a coffee maker.
We checked the oil level and it is good.
Any other advise on what to try?
Thanks,
Mike

Best Place to sell Class C
Hello,
We have been trying to sell our Class C in our local craigslist and RV trader w/o much luck. We are in Phx, Az.
I was wondering if anyone has found a good site to advertise.
Do you find that local ads work better than ads in RV.net or other places? Any other strategies you would recommend?
We are looking to move up but we don't want to give it away at a dealer or buy something w/o selling this one first.

South Fork, Co to I-70 help w/ best route
Hello,
We are in South Fork and heading to Yellowstone.
I need help getting to I-70. I would like to avoid major mountain passes if at all possible w/o too much of a detour. Any help with the rest of the route to yellowstone would be great.
Right now, we are considering:
South Fork to Salida
North on 285/24
West on 82 (this looks like major hills) so help on whether this is better than going through Leadville and Red Cliff would be appreciated.
We are going on a 2005 32 ft Class C towing a dinghy.

On the road. Need help w/ brakes???
Hello everyone.
I hope we can get some help/advise on a problem that just showed up on the road. We have a 2004 Ford E450 32ft Class C Gulfstream Ultra LE. I noticed a noise in the front left axle and I am not sure what's causing it. I checked everywhere and I cannot see anything wrong. The noise is not very consistent but here is how it happens.
- In town, on 10-15 min short trips, I don't hear anything
- In long trips, the noise can be heard randomly but not continuosly
- So far the pattern is that if I hit the brake when I hear the noise, the noise dissapears.
- Noise is coming from the front lower left (driver side)
I have never changed the pads on this MH but it only has 13K miles. I looked at the brake pads but I could not see anything.
A few questions:
- Is it hard to replace these pads? I have done all my cars and my trucks (Nissan Titan) but I have never done a Ford E450. Bolts around the rotor look bigger that normal.
- Are pads on a 15K MH supposed to wear this fast?
- Any ideas on what this noise could be?
- Any ideas on where I could find a schematic for replacing the pads?
The noise feels like worn out pads but I need to figure out how to look at the pad.
Help is pretty much appreciated. We just started a 3-4 week trip and I hate to spend days in a garage.

RE: Route recommendation - Durango to Yellowstone
That looks like a beautiful site but I am afraid that my rig won't be very happy w/ a 9-10% hill. Any other recommendations on route? Is going 550 Noth to I70 East to 13 North to I80 East to 191 North any better? If so, a place to stay along this route would be great.

Route recommendation - Durango to Yellowstone
Hello,
We are going to be traveling from Durango and/or South Fork, Co to Yellowstone in 2 weeks or so. I was wondering if anyone had a good suggestion on best route to take. We like the scenic routes but we have been told to avoid the 1 million dollar highway in Colorado. Any suggestions and 1-2 good stopovers along the way would be great. We have an 8-9 hr level of threshold when it comes to driving the motorhome (32ft class C)
Thanks,
Mike

Glacier campground recommendations for RVs
Hello,
We are heading to Glacier NP in a 2-3 weeks. It looks like Going to the sun is going to be open up to avalanche from the west side and short of logan pass from the east side. I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on best place to stay to see what's opened (east or west) and a nice RV park w/ hookups, good views and good chance of low exposure to mosquitoes and other bugs.
Thanks,
mike

RV Camping in Banff. Help needed.
Hello,
We are taking a trip to Banff in a few weeks and I have been doing some research on good places to camp w/ an RV 32ft. Trailer Mountain seems to be the recommended spot. At the same time, I have been reading about its 1200+ sites and the 'crowded' feeling of the experience. We would like to have full hookups but we are very interested in a nice campground w/ scenic views, good access to this area and not as crowded. We are traveling from Phx, Az.
Any other recommendations outside of trailer mountain?
