RE: Topper awning collecting rain water = annoying
Ask that pesky neighbor to come over and listen for a creek when you retract it in!! Only kidding , like stated already, there is no reason to get the water off before its time to roll up camp... It is better then having all that debris and water to sitting directly on the roof of the slide...Joe

RE: How long is my RV?
There was a time that the rule of thumb was to add 3' to he published footage and that would get our actual length , or close to it..The tounge is likely 30" or so with the 4" square bumper being about 2" from the rear wall...Joe

RE: how much to offer
Offer half $10,000
Really ?? If you want it ,you will have to go higher then 50% off.... start at 35% = $13,400.00 and work to 30% = $14,000.00Just be ready to walk away if they say there is NO ROOM to move..play hard to get. Depending on how bad the dealer wants it off his lot...

RE: What is your favorite feature?
We were curious as to what is your very favorite feature\features of your fifth wheel coach?
Lots of "stuff" on your list.
However, from the "male point of view" - the one who hitches, connects water, sewer, ...... and 50 amp electric:
My favorite feature - would probably be an aftermarket convenience item.
Wrestling the 50amp "anaconda" (power cord) got old..:(
I purchased a 12V powered cord reel and much more flexible 50amp cord.
Pull out the amount you need. Push button to reel it back in.
A bit "pricey", but should there be another 5th in my future, if desired, it can go along with me..:C

Hey ol Bombero-JC...
where did you find the more flexible 50 amp cord ?? I would love to add that to my favorite list also!

RE: Your Rig
our Redwood 36 FL.
Wow 5 slides...very nice home on wheels there!
Next time we hit an RV show I'm hoping we have the chance to step inside a front living room model.
I think that would be the way to fulltime it.
We went inside the Redwoods at last years Hershey show,,, VERY impressive.... very nice trailer inside and out..! Joe

RE: Honda 2000i generator recall issue
I am just looking for them to accept responsibility. It is not about compensation or anything of that sorts. The DW and I buy quality products and just expect to receive quality service.
You are wasting way too much time and energy over this.. A store that sells thousands of items daily had one slip through the cracks..You realized that, addressed it and now all is fine... Does it really matter if they accept responsibility? It was a mistake, and is over... move on and start enjoying life without demanding people to say they are sorry to you..Happy Camping !!

RE: source for new trailer alloy wheels and tires
Trailer tire and wheel seems to offer a lot of options. If you have 15 inch wheels, now might be a good time to upgrade to a 16 inch wheel and LT tires.
I purchased from Trailer Tires and wheels.com when I upgraded.
Trailer Tires and Wheels
I just got a new wheel from them... They were easy to deal with .... And reasonable

RE: strongarms
Almost any of the stabilizers on the market will work better then none... From there it is all personal preference..how much do you want to spend for a solid 5er?? That is the key.There for a while I had 2 pieces of aluminum square tube that I cut to length and fastened with C-clamps in an X pattern ..they worked well,just a pain setting up . Joe
PS - I like my strongarms that I found at a going out of business sale for next to nothing !! :B

RE: Awning care
I have heard alot of people say just how great and easy bleach cleans their awnings... I just cannot get past the fact that every piece of clothing I ever owned that came anywhere near bleach was spotted and or ruined..... Not looking to get that anywhere near my awning , or even my decals and wax on the sides...just my opinion...old dog...new trick?? no :B

RE: Pullrite Superglide
The one I have has 4 allen head bolts, one on each corner, fairly easy to remove unless they rust up...
X2... With that said.. Each spring I remove and make sure they are not rusted in place just in case they need to be removed on the road....

RE: how much ice in black tank to clean sensor?
I too believe the ice works... I usually spend the $1.99 per bag and get 2... up to this point no worries...As stated before, it will not do the higher sensors.. it is usually the lowest one anyway on mine that won't go away until they get a cocktail! ...Joe

RE: When to use water pressure regulator on fiver?
Here is a question.. they say that the regulators max the pressure at 40-45 psi.... what is the safe max pressure ? according to the video I just watched by Valterra.. the old trailers are rated at 45-45psi... and the newer trailers are rated for 100psi but they recommend no more than 60 psi....?? mine is adjustable and being of the older school of thought... I set it at 40...with low water pressure
