RE: Doghouse console
Why not do something more useful. This is my computer desk. I took an oak table and redisigned the legs to fit over the doghouse. This allows us to use all of our motorhome. Also is great when going down the road.

RE: This will eliminate a lot of weight
I bought the Kindle for my wife a couple of weeks ago and she just loves it. Yes it is expensive, but well worth the cost if you consider the weight savings of all the books she is carrying around, (100+).

RE: Tow Dolly Ready 2 Go - Am I Crazy?
Except for length, it's legal in all states that allow doubles. With safety chains, it's not dangerous at all. Besides that, they were steel cable reinforced straps I had special made. I since sold the boat and flat tow so don't be scared if you see me. :R

RE: dometic refer
You're going to think I'm nuts, but if all the electrics and the burner seems to be working, you may have developed a bubble in the cooling chamber. It happened to me once and I was told to take a rubber hammer to it. I took my rubber hammer out and beat the heck out of the coils and it started cooling just like it never quit. That was almost a year ago and it still works like new.

RE: Tow Dolly Ready 2 Go - Am I Crazy?
Relax and remember, your toad will follow you anywhere you go. It will only track about 3 to 6" inside your MH track. We were a tad illegal in some states at 72' with this set up.

RE: Oh the Pain: Bibliophile must let go. Share Your Pain.
I've been after my wife for quite some time to reduce her book collection to free up some MH space and she finally did. She bought the Kindle off Amazon. It wasn't cheap, but it holds several hundred books. She also loves the thing.

RE: anyone else getting a scooter for local transport?
Some of you more agile, (read younger), folks won't understand this, but some of the reason I went with a scooter is I can't hoist my leg up over the seat of a regular motorcycle like I used to do. I also don't have the desire to go 70 mph on a bike any longer. My 150cc is plenty big enough for me and I'm a big guy.

RE: anyone else getting a scooter for local transport?
I just bought a new 150cc Scooter for $1600 and love it. It's small enough to haul on the back of my toad, (240lbs), but large enough to travel in traffic comfortably. My advice? If you've never road a bike in traffic, you are in for a shock. Just be careful and watch "every vehicle" around you.

RE: Rexhall Motor Homes
We own a '95 Rexair and love it. Quality throughout. For an older coach, we would put it up against anything of comparable age. We are on the P30 Chevy chassis and the strongest 454 I've ever owned.

RE: Anyone travelling for the Fourth??
We are going to go outside, set in our lawn chairs and watch the fireworks as we are right behind the Timber Linn Park in Albany Oregon for another 6 weeks. Cost of fuel $0.00.

RE: Warm Weather Storage- Run A/C or Not?
We leave ours set at a comfortable 74 degrees for the mice. Wait a minute, hold on, we live in ours fulltime so I guess we don't count. Sorry 'bout that.

RE: Airtabs 7/2 2500 miles update with MPG
We love ours and on my recent post on the subject, I responded to those that wanted to know privately as I was tired of the negative comments from some that we talking out their butts because their mouths knew better. We gained, on a 2600 mile trip, about 1-2 mpg. Everything else was in line with the OP.

RE: Air Conditioner Problem
You may be onto something when you mention the 'vacuum" symptom.
It is possible that you have an air leak between your discharge and return sections. These two sections should be isolated in two places. Down in the coach, up inside the access panel on the ceiling and up on the roof where the schroud covers the eveaporator coil. These roof-schrouds usually have foam rubber between the sheet-metal and if the seal is comprimised, you could get a vacuum from the blower wheel (not the fan blade in front of the condensor coil) which could suck condensation back into the unit.
I'll climb up and check that. Not to sound stupid, but you're not talking about the seal between the unit and the MH are you? If so that seal seems to be good.

RE: Air Conditioner Problem
Did you check the seal?
Yes, it is good. If the seal was bad, I wouldn't be getting a vacuum.
