RE: Power Gear Slide help
Look for a sheered roller pin in each gear at each rail. Also check the tubes that connect the gears to the motor, if your is like mine the tubes have nuts and bolts holding them together some times these also break or fall out check them also.

RE: 30 amp service in garage
JUST make sure if you have someone put it in for you that's for RV 30 amp 110 and not a dryer plug which would be 220. Has happened in the past when the elec. put it in.

RE: Pulling my hair out talking to India!!!!!!!
When they answer in India ask to speak to the supervisor, be polite tell them you want to speak to some one in USA. They will transfer you back to USA. If enough people did it maybe the jobs will come back. Tell them you have a hearing problem and can't understand them in India. Works for me

RE: Buying first TT or Maybe Class C
If you get a Class C how are you going to get around after the C has be set up. Do you already have something to pull a TT in the size you are looking at?? With a TT with a bedroom and bunk beds you would have your own area for sleeping. And who ever went with you would have there own sleeping area, and an area for there things (top bunk).
I'd look for used so if it doesn't work out you are not out a lot and you can still use it for the family.

RE: new to direct TV
You will probably want HD for the house. but I don't know if you want or need HD for the RV. That will be your call. If you don't go HD for the RV I find it easier to find the sat. as I only need to find one with directv.
If you don't go HD for the RV then I would get a separate stand alone box for the office etc. Then when you go on a trip you just take this box from the office and put in in the RV. The extra box goes for about 6.00 a mo.
I use the TV cable that came with my rig and the picture is fine for me. I'm sure others will have there ideas. But you asked for input and this is mine.

RE: Impact wrenches
It's only 140 Lbs do it by hand. Just get a long breaker bar and extension for the duals. Haven't needed anything more in the 12 years I've had mine and I repack wheels every 2 years whether it needs it or not.

RE: Cargo doors
There is a list some where on the site that has a list of RV salvage yards, that may have what you need. I think any glass shop that works with MH should be able to get you a windshield.

RE: Same slide shear bolt broke again! Questions for you.
Mite also check and see if the hole is egg shaped have heard this is also hard on the slide bolts. The fix is to re-drill the holes 1 size larger with a larger bolt.

RE: I think I've got the answer
Should not be run off level on either propane or elec.. Off level the gas turns back to a liquid in the bends of the coils and causes a blockage.

RE: Chassis Battery
On most MH (gas) the starting batt. is only charged when the engine is running. The starting batt. powers among other things, starter , steps,back up camera, some cigarette lighter ports, hard wired smoke and propane alarms, etc. you need to look into a Trik-L-Start unit to keep the starting charged while hooked to shore power.

RE: A/C units
Your rig is probably wired for 30 amp service so you can only run one A/C at a time. In my rig I have 2 thermostats one is in the hall and is for the furnace and front A/C. The other is in the bed room and is only for the bedroom A/C. So just try running 1 A/C at a time and see if one or both work but with 30 AMP only one at a time will work.

RE: Repairing Levelers
I had a local hydraulic shop rebuild mine after I took them off. Only 110.00 each and he did a pressure test after rebuilding them. You can get the seals at any hydraulic repair supplier you don't need to go to power gear.
You can also down load the repair manual to repair them on the power gear web site.

RE: Anyone repaired a cracked AC shroud?
Take it off turn it up side down and use fiberglass and resin on the inside. If you make a mess of it no one will see it. I've done this to both of mine and my sons also. 13 years and counting with no problems.

RE: Homemade dash mat/cover?
Had one custom made for mine in Quartzsite, the guy made a pattern with tin foil then cut the material to fit and sewed it together. If it would help you, only saw him one year don't think it was much of a profit after the time he spent doing it.

RE: Water line leaking under clear water tank Newvbie?
I'd say if you have 2 draining they are more then likely the over flow tubes I know my MH has 2 over flow tubes. And a drain valve which is at the bottom of the tank. So If when your hooked up to city water and the water is flowing out of these tubes you are over filling your fresh water tank, could cause a problem and split the seams.
Do you have a valve that is marked for tank fill and city water hook up, I suspect your valve is turned to tank fill which should be closed off when your hooked to city water. And should only be open to fill the fresh water tank and turned off as soon as water starts to come out of the over flow tubes.
