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?

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!

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.

RE: Better AC filter for those who havnt seen it yet
Pleated filters like that are considerably more restrictive to air flow than the original washable foam filter.
Agree! The original style were there for a good reason. You are not doing your A/C unit a favor. These units were not made for that filter.

RE: Border crossings about to get even worse
I had to drive through the X-Ray machine at Lukeville, AZ with my 45' coach towing a truck. It was interesting because I was told to go through at some speed, I don't remember exactly but perhaps 10 MPH. It was faster than I was comfortable with given the narrow passage so I just did the speed I was comfortable with, about a walking speed. The agent wanted me to speed up but I didn't.

RE: Windows 10 Laptop Question
It looks like the RAID 1 will do what I need. The laptop has Thunderbolt 3 /USB C 3.2. A two drive enclosure would be convenient. I'll have to do some more reading about NAS and RAID, you have me pointed in the right direction.

RE: Windows 10 Laptop Question
Perhaps I should start another thread but since you are on the subject of RAID, NAS etc., what is the best way to backup the laptop which travels in the camper for months at a time? I have been thinking of having two portable hard drives. I would copy an image to each?? The laptop has a 2TB SS drive.

RE: 4' LED Shop Lights In Costco?
I have no way to check this from down here but it's worth a shot. Reasonable value?
I replaced all of my 4' fluorescent lights with LED, some were the Costco Feit brand and they work great. I also replaced some 4' bulbs with LED from Costco & they also work good. That saved replacing the fixtures. Nice to have instant brightness with no warmup time.
