RE: Residential Frig doors lock
If this company makes one for your model of refrigerator (which you didn't mention), it's the best there is:

RobAnd the customer service is WOW. I broke my original, no fault of the product, and he shipped me a new one free of charge.

RE: Filing up DEF
To help prevent DEF in the fuel and fuel in the DEF. I am sure you would be fine and professional drivers... but we are talking about the general public here.
Don't be so sure about the "Professional drivers." I worked for a large LTL truck line. One of the alleged professional drivers topped the fuel tank with DEF. Truck only had about 50K miles on it, toasted the engine. Last I heard it was recommended that he seek other employment.

RE: pocket knife
Put me in the camp that I have always carried a pocket knife as long as I can remember. I switched to a Leatherman when I started working nights.
My question, how to conveniently carry it and a mini-flashlight now that I switched to suspenders? I tried the belt and suspenders route but didn't like. I now just put one in each front pocked but I really miss them on a belt.

RE: Daytime Running Lights.
Reach down and turn on the headlights when you want DRL. Beats worming under the dash to find a fuse.

RE: RV WIFI
Last I knew FMCA had a deal 50/month unlimited 4G as I recall. SPRINT was the carrier when I had it (Now merged with T-Mobile)
...They dumped Sprint/T-Mobile some time ago and went back to AT&T but with a slight price increase, but still a good deal IMO.
I do not recall all the details but they were also allowing for you to bring your own hotspot but you need to jump through some hoops to do so.
Right now the FMCA site is saying " Due to AT&T hotspots being out of stock we must temporarily shut down TechConnect+ signups. We are being told by AT&T that new hotspots should be back in stock sometime in November 2022, and that signups for the benefit can resume."
I had the Sprint hotspot for awhile and it was useless.

RE: Southern Utah with kids
Your profile says Seattle, is that the start point? Do you have a proposed route yet? I'm asking as you might want a stop or two to let them run and burn off some P&V. How much time do you have?
There is some good sounding water parks in the greater SLC area when I was researching for a similar trip with the grandkids.
I'm sending you a PM.

RE: A punishing pace, safety issues and broken bodies
I noticed the woman in the start of the story worked in a non-union shop.
People today say "We don't need no stinking unions"
She proves.. We still do.Agreed.
Just recently there was an article about the ragged pace at UPS sort Louisville that make it sound worse than the slaves at Amazon. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2022/oct/24/ups-worker-suicide-employees-disclose-tragic-conditions

RE: OBD Port F53
Why the OBD port isn't painted in florescent pink paint is beyond me.
As for my 2016 F53 it is on the left right between the steering column and the brake release handle.

Good to know about the water as we are toying with the idea of the North Rim next year. Guess I'll make sure to fill before hand.

RE: Had the Liquid Spring Suspension Installed - WOW!
Wow! OAS must have learned "Quality Control" from Fleetwood. When you start seeing bolts that are not tightened that to me is the first clue that someone didn't care or was in a big hurry or has zero pride in their work. I can understand a mistake but when one job has a bucket full it is just poor workmanship.
How was dealing with them when you went back?
Glad you like the final outcome.
Thanks for telling it like it was/is.

RE: Had the Liquid Spring Suspension Installed - WOW!
So was Oregon Spring a LS dealer/installer? Or did they take the job on not knowing everything they needed to know?
I'm kinda surprised as OS has been around for a good long time and was the go-to place for lot of heavy truck work. I was going to contact them about some work as they are only 10 miles from me.
I hope you can expand on your experience with them.

RE: seattle to crater lake NP
If you can dry camp check out Broken Arrow CG NFS N43° 08.051' W122° 08.777'. They take reservation. Broken Arrow is better than Diamond Lake NFS CG.
Either campground the mosquitoes will be happy you visited.

RE: Inflatable hot tub vs. regular unit
We have had a small 2 person hard side one for 5-6 years. Wife wanted one again and started shopping, and found it from a place in Florida. I was leery but she did lots of research and decided to take a chance. IIRC it was ~$2500 delivered to Oregon. We use it year around but right now it is turned down to about 96°. Wired for 120 volt 20 amp and can be switched to 240 volt 50 amp.
For the cost it might be something to check out. Ours wasn't a blem but might be worth it. https://peoplelikeclearwater.com/product/aquarest-spa-ar-300-2-person-plug-n-play-blem-3/

RE: Any issues having slides on both sides?
I have a Bounder 34T with opposing slides in the front and bed slide on the right side. Never have we been to park that we couldn't open them all, real close due to trees but knowing how much they extend before setup helps.
When the DD used to live at one place we could put out the two on the right and have room to function very well as couple of her kids would come sleep in the motorhome. When stopping for a quick lunch if I could park where slide on one side could open it was great. If not we could make do. Last two times we were at Wildlife Safari with the four grands we stopped near the elephant enclosure, opened one slide and had a nice lunch.

RE: What's the truth about the trucking situation?
There’s not a driver shortage and never has been. That’s the mega carriers collaborating to flood every region with THEIR drivers in order to cut rates further.
In turn, that gets them permission to hire foreigners and expedite the green card.
The sinkhole gets worse from there.
The game is to undercut every system of support.
Couldn't said it better! Spent 45 1/2 years staring out of a windshield, mostly at night, took early retirement 6 years ago at 63. Ran (mostly) legal with paper logs and made a good living because I chose to work for companies that (mostly) treated their employees well and always paid well. I miss the job about like I miss a hemorrhoid, Doan's pills, and Rolaids. For those that don't get the joke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx_Mnbpt79I
WalMart making a big production about raising pay, fails to say about them screwing over their drivers a few years ago.
