RE: 2022 Zephyr or Cornerstone - Which Should I Buy?

I did use the one on my Dynasty but macerators are rather slow.
Mr Mark, you are right about the old macerators being slow but the new Sanicon Turbo which uses a 1" hose is pretty quick. I have used it to pump 200' several times over fairly level ground.
I like to read your insight on Prevost, etc.

RE: 2022 Zephyr or Cornerstone - Which Should I Buy?

No but my rv is 43' and has the Aquahot 450 and it heats the RV just fine.
On electric there is a huge difference between the Aqua-Hot 450 with One 1650 Watt element and the 600 series which has Two 2000 Watt elements. IMHO, If Cornerstone skimps on that one item I just assume they also skimp on other items.

When I looked at Cornerstone I saw it has the little 450 Aqua-Hot so I didn't consider it any farther.

RE: Centermatics or Balance Beads ???

My trailer bearings are sensitive to wheel offset which the Centramatics increase so I wouldn't use them.
You must have a different set of Centramatics than I have seen. Mine are thin sheet metal, 1/16" perhaps. I don't think your wheel bearings will notice. :h

RE: Needless kaos and carnage on the Beeline highway...

Highway 87 aka the Beeline Highway runs north from Mesa {just east of Phoenix} north 75 miles to and through Payson continuing on to provide a good route for the RV crowd to the I-40 corridor {Flagstaff, Winslow and Holbrook}. From Mesa it is good 4 lane {with wide paved shoulders} of mostly divided highway. It does however have a lot of steep climbs {6 to 7 percent} as it winds up through the mountains.
The speeds on that road have been surprising. I'm not on it that often but go in and out of Arizona on it with my RV. When the police holed up last year we were passed by lots of high speed traffic, probably 90 & 100 MPH. The police are back but spread thin and speeds seemed slightly lower.
We travel the US through lots of mountains & I consider that road from the Mogillion Rim through Payson to Mesa to be one of the best workouts for the driver and the RV. Lots of climbs in high temperatures to test your cooling system and patience and lots of descents to use the Jake Brake, exhaust brake and learn to keep the service brakes cool.
We like the Payson Airport (KPAN) Crosswinds Restaurant but we don't go there by road.

RE: Border

Curious why the discussion of Tijuana hasn't included the rail from San Ysidro to San Diego. Doesn't Air Canada fly nonstop from San Diego to Vancouver, BC?

RE: HVAC - No Compressor run

Ron, that is one of the most concise descriptions of a problem I have seen as well as your troubleshooting status. We are fortunate to have Doug on this forum!
Well done!

RE: A/C locking up in 1984 class c

Is there any chance the cover is blocking air flow through the condenser? That would cause those symptoms.

RE: Convection oven - phooey, Switched to Toaster oven

Been meaning to get a rack for the convention microwave.
Are there any racks that are not metal and OK for microwave also?
As Jim@Hitek does, we put the slow cooker in the sink while travelling.

RE: Cruise Control Monaco Executive Roadmaster Chasis

if you have the engine brakes system on (switch) then the cruise control will not engine.
That's the first thing to check, Engine Brake switches OFF.
Do you have VORAD? It would have an Eaton Vorad display with a "SmartCruise" green light on the instrument panel as well as a red "Fault Light when the ignition key is turned to "Run".
The SmartWheel controller should be in the FRB (Front Run Bay) outside in front of the driver side front tire & below the driver side window.
The 600HP option from Monaco was a $10,000 option so who knows what a previous owner did or did not do. That is secondary to the Cruise Control Problem, IMHO.
