RE: tire psi
The sticker on your door reflects the inflation for max. GWR of your truck. That is the info I use to inflate my tires. There is no use going higher unless you are overloading the truck.
But what if the tires is not factory? Did some put lighter on it at some point- maybe heavier ply tires.
If we are not talking factory equipment , all bets are off.

RE: How does RV Insurance work? How to get around my Catch-22?
Some states require a different license but I have never heard of an insurance company asking if you had the correct license before they issue insurance coverage.

RE: 2005 Fleetwood Excursion Rear AC not working
They can be if you can find a compressor. I don't think they sell them separate.
These are throw away units. Unless you can do the work yourself it is better to replace the entire unit.

RE: awning problem
Was the awning opened with the remote?
It is my understanding that the remote overrides the switches or if you turn it on with a remote you have to turn it off with the remote, the switches will not work.
We had this issue with a friends rig when he could not turn the outside lights off after turning them on with the remote.
Hope this helps.

RE: Theater seating sofa malfunction
Those are usually pretty easy to fix. Flip it upside down and see what came loose. Since they are new the Mfg. should agree to ship any needed parts for free.
Good luck.

RE: Glue for slide seals
I assume you are referring to the Bulb or D seal.
No I am talking about the wipes, where they come together at the top corners. Mine leave a gap after a few opening and closings. I want to glue the corners together.

Glue for slide seals
The top corners of my slide seals often separates leaving a gap. I have to get up on a ladder and pull them together.
Does anyone know of a glue that will hold these wiper seals together?
I have one corner that is glued and you can't pull it apart without tearing the rubber.
I have purchased several types of glue that is supposed to work but none of them have.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

RE: Life of AC?
Check all of your wiring connections in the back of the breaker panel.
Be sure to unplug first.

RE: fore and aft movement
Even though you are seeing the jaws move when you start and stop, the noise you are hearing may be coming from where the hitch meets the rails. If you have a PUC system this may not apply but they make some rubber sound dampers that fit between the rails and the hitch. they are very cheap on the Curt website and they can make a big difference if using the rail system.
Just google Curt sound dampeners.

RE: fore and aft movement
If you keep the Curt you can adjust your trailer brakes to brake a little ahead of the truck. This will keep the king pin in the back of the jaws.
I have a Curt and that is what I did and it works for me but I don't think I had quite that much play in mine but I could feel it bumping when I stopped and started.
Band Aid!!!
It is not broke and it is not dangerous just a little annoying from time to time.
If he can get his money back fine, If not it is not really a problem Curt is a very good hitch.

RE: Climbing steep grades...
Do you hear your fan clutch engage?Might not be able to hear it on thet type of engine but on my disel it sounds like a jet taking off. Might check and make sure the fan is operating correctly.

RE: Parking RV at home
Are you parking on pavement? If you are on dirt I would put something under the tires such as gravel, treated wood or concrete blocks.

RE: DC power
Either a dead battery or bad converter. Not sure but I think the converters have internal fuses. Have you checked yours?

RE: Arizona and AC
When it blows warm air your comprssor has shut off or frozen up. I had one acting similar to that and it was a bad thermister.
I would be very surprised if one AC could cool an RV in those temps but you didn't say what size your RV is.
Good luck
To answer the other part of your question, any thing you can do to keep the AC unit cool will help some.

RE: Mildew/mold(?) on wood under roof
You are fine. It won't mold unless it keeps leaking and keeps it wet for awhile.
If it was damp under the patch it will dry.

You don't need to get all of the stickum off. As long as it is clean the new tape will stick just fine.

RE: Bearing repack - hub noises?
If it has been sitting for awhile the rust on the drum will certainly make a dragging sound but I don't think it should stop in a quater of a turn. Probably adjusted a little too tight.
