RE: Transmission Dipstick
Have you seen the dipstick before? My coach does not have one at the rear filler - you use the shift display to check the level.

RE: MiFi Service
Check out Millenicom. They use the Verizon network, but typically have better pricing.
I am not associated with this company, but I am a customer.

RE: Flojet Portable Macerator - disconnect each time?
Me thinks my thread hath been hijacked! That's OK. While we are here talking, the first time I tried to attach mine to the sewer outlet, the four hooks on the bayonet mount completely failed - went flying. What's that all about? Yes, I twisted hard, but never dreamed it would break it - the cheap stinky slinky connectors never break.
To their credit, I emailed them and though I bought it 2 years ago and was just now getting around to getting the wiring in place to use it for the first time, they sent me a replacement part. So what I did was using a file to file down the pegs on the clear connector I had, but I took off too much so now it is not tight enough and leaks a little.
Anyone else have trouble with the it not aligning properly with industry-standard bayonet mounts, and what did you do about it?

RE: The elephant behind the palm tree...
Nice looking rig! Yes, I am sure this guy never does anything that annoys anyone. Some people just seem to be wanna-be law enforcement so they look for people doing things they think should not be allowed and feel compelled to poke their nose in your business. Sounds like perhaps he should focus on his on situation and live and let live.

Flojet Portable Macerator - disconnect each time?
The instructions that came with the unit say "do not mount permanently to the RV Waste Port." This makes me wonder, if I am at a relative's house for a couple of months, is there any problem with leaving it connected? It does hang down below my rig, so I was thinking of wrapping plastic around it when not in use to protect it from any moisture that might splash up during heavy rains. Do others leave them connected when at a site for an extended period, or have you had issues when doing this?

RE: Battery - will be on seasonal site 5 mo
I recently installed the Trik-L-Start and it is working well for me. I was having trouble with my chassis batteries being drained during long stays due to daily use of my aftermarket power MCD cockpit shades. These were connected to the factory power sun visor switches which are tied to the chassis batteries.

RE: I know stock tank sensors are worthless but..
Take a strip of Duct Tape and place it over the sensors readout...problem solved.
:B My thought exactly! That, or poke your eyes out. It is hopeless.

RE: New full timers and new to the forum, Hi!
tkcas01 - Nice to meet you! If you don't mind me asking, what do you do?
I work in the high tech (software) field and have had a home office for 20 years, so now my home office just happens to have wheels - and I use them!

RE: New full timers and new to the forum, Hi!
Welcome! I too am a working full-timer. Fortunate enough to have a job that it matters not where I am. You're right, I am normally in parks with retired folks and sometimes jealous they get to go play all day while I work! But, this is a great way to see the country. 7 years and have not missed a stick house yet.

RE: Ladder Manufacture
Mine had the manufacturer and model on the bottom side of the bottom step. Again, that was on an Atwood product.

RE: Ladder Manufacture
You might try Atwood. That is who made the ladder on my Monaco and I got some parts from them a couple of years ago.

RE: Dogs, wll they ever quit barking?
Some owners are either oblivious to it or just have no consideration for others.
Maybe one of them will answer you.
Or, they go camping to escape their neighbors complaining about their yapping dogs! :B
Granted, few camping spots are remote enough for ensured tranquility. Always something - music, generators, late nighters, etc.

RE: Engine won't start - Battery issue
Hold the boost switch down for five minutes and then try and start. You have nothing to loose trying this.
Ditto. I found that with mine, if I pressed the boost switch and held it for at least a minute, THEN continue to hold it while starting it would work.
I then went on to install a Trik-L-Start charger so the chassis battery gets a charge while parked. This only became necessary, however, after I had my cockpit drapes replaced with MCD motorized shades, and letting the shades up and down daily for a month or more was draining the chassis battery. The installer used the same switches that the motorized visors were using, so it made sense for those to operate off the chassis battery.

RE: Is there a way to find all your entries on this forum
Yes click on "MY Forums" at the top of this page. It may not go back that far but it does go back a good ways.
If that does not go all the way back, you can also try doing an advanced search and searching for posts by your screen name, and do an archive search.

RE: Wire for macerator?
Thanks for the suggestions, all. My power distribution panel is on the same side of the rig as the wet bay (but 22 feet away), so think I will go with the #8 wire and clips for now.

Wire for macerator?
I bought the Flojet macerator and need to run power for it. It requires a 20amp DC circuit and all mine are 15amp max so I guess I will run a wire directly from the battery bay, which I believe has been suggested on here before. For a run over 10' they recommend 10 AWG wire. Anyone have a source for the most appropriate wire? I would like one where the two conductors are joined together. All I find is either single wires or speaker wire.
