RE: Wife says I need to Vent (sorry)
You might also ask ford for an extension to there warranted period equivalent to the period that you MH is not available. An additional 3 months is not all that significant, but it does require ford to get additional depts/functions involved in the resolution creating motive for ford to get it resolved

RE: Wife says I need to Vent (sorry)
It is fairly easy to lodge a nhtsa complaint on line and you should do so today. I would list line and verse the refusal by ford to take prompt action and would carefully word the direction from ford to avoid a temporary fix. State it such that the liability for hazard reduction remains with ford and that non use is subject to damages claims. It is clearly a ford problem not a camper dearship.
Every communication with ford ought to be followed up with a summary statement from yourself with a copy of the nhtsa statement attached sent by registered mail. You are past verbal communications.
You can get legal with these guys without the expense of a lawyer. but document status yourself, ford won't

RE: Light truck for dingy,, searching
Nissan appears to be the only solution to a new light towable pickup. I am glad to see the satisfaction level by JD above.
Another solution, used,,, I looked through car max and autotrader for the Texas market and found very few offerings. Makes me want to up the price of my current toad when I pass it on

RE: Light truck for dingy,, searching
Come on guys,,,, looking for a new one and the Chevrolet websites indicate that there is no 2013 Colorado released for sale in the US , maybe one will be available for 2014. If I were in Thailand a 2013 Colorado would be available. Who would buy a first edition of a completely retooled vehicle anyway.

Light truck for dingy,, searching
I have been towing an s-10 with shaft disconnect the last 4 years and it is time to upgrade, wife's on board with a new one.... But it seems there are no American light trucks made any more. Ranger and Dakota discontinued in 2011 and Canyon discontinued in 2013. What gives with the herd mentality, especially considering the need for fuel efficient. A light truck serves me well in terms of accessibility, do not need a ladder,,,ease of tow,,,gas millage,,,and general utility.
Best I can tell Nissan Frontier is the only remaining towable light truck according to the literature. I have no negative thoughts about Nissan other than buy American
Is their anything in the supply chain that would interest me in waiting a year for a purchase committment???

migration day
A Monday, after Easter, on the first of the new month has got to be the largest migration day of the year for winter Texans. 77/59 north will be one continuous stream of rv's. At daylite 3 large units pulled out for the local park looking to get a jump start.
I look forward to seeing folks return next fall

RE: Class A coaches driving the speed limit
I try for 65, to nearly match the speed of large truck that throw rocks. The fewer that pass, reduces the likely hood of a windshield chip

RE: travelling/crossing the border with houseplants
As a local customs agent in Maine you probably have knowledge of the issue. Could you explain why its acceptable to have cherries when in season/but not out of season and how does it know. Canada is a pretty big country and taken as a whole probably has a broad season.
I traveled internationally a hundred per cent of the time for 20 years and found out very early that hot buttons exist and it was to the travelers advantage to either avoid the carry entirely... or be prepared to take the interview in another direction in a friendly submissive manner.

RE: Should I store my rv with Levelers down
Store with the hydraulic in the up position....The shiny surface is actually the piston surface which will rust and pit if exposed to the ambient long enough for the residual oil to evaporate. The residual oil will also accumulate dust/dirt. When the pitting is dragged across the seals they will tear and leak.
If you want to store down, lubricate and clean frequently

RE: No more CPAP
I have now used the CPAP for three weeks and find it makes a considerable difference. More energy during the day is noticeable.
Sleeping with a snorkel is a pain...but each night gets a little better. When you are awake and bored, there are numerous games to play with the pressure controller, leaks and noises.

RE: travelling/crossing the border with houseplants
Did a day trip across into Canada north of Preist Lake Idaho and had a wonderful time with the early summer flowers. I even picked 6-7 daisy flowers and put them into a pop bottle for Th DW's appreciation. When we went through the customs into US a couple miles south the inspector pounced on them and said they were dangerous contraband. Which was alright with me since it focused his attention away from the 40 bucks of Canadian cherries I was carrying. Firewood, plants, dog food and guns will get the customs guys weird-ed out on both sides the border. Must have a lot to do with quota's.

RE: high test gas in motorhomes
Good and bad experience with running gasser at elevation suggest that you should keep your rpm up, not allowing the engine to bog down. Bogging it down will foul out the spark plugs quickly

RE: Connecting MH to household 110v
For the home base I installed a 30 amp receptacle sourced only from an isolated 25 amp circuit circuit breaker. My wall outlets near the RV spot were also servicing other rooms in the area and would occasionally trip when the RV load was attached.
Experience with using a 12 gauge extension is that works okay with a one ac load but over the course of a weeks use the plugs may get hot enough to soften. Keep the load low and monitor for warm plugs

RE: Newbie driver
Be extra aware of overhead clearance issues. There are lots of trees that croud the road, gas station awnings to low and underpasses that remove ac's. Put a label on the dash indicating your head clearance
