RE: Replacing ac/heat pump
We have a HP now going since 2012 and still strong. "Knock on wood" If it went tomorrow, I would get another. It did have an issue one time with water coming in after a heavy rain from when the fan was turned on. It was NOT the seal. There was a build-up of debris around the unit causing water to build up in the pan.

RE: 5th wheel clearance
I have a 2006 Ford 6.0 Lariet and a Carriage Cameo. Because the truck is so high, Carriage, when they were in business and I ordered the RV, flipped the axles on the 5er. This gave me the clearance I needed. Don't know if all RV can be done on all 5er's or what the charge would be, but you can check with a dealer you trust to find out if this can be done and would solve your problem.

RE: Watch for this rig in Mexico but do not approach
Years ago we were told, but I don't remember where or when, that if you see a broken down RV on the side of the road do not stop, but call it in. Unfortunately, years ago we could trust others, but today you don't know who the other guy is and you must curb your instinct to help your fellow man.

RE: Dog Chwing resistant entry mat
Don't know if this would work, but try contacting PetsMart, Petco or call Chewy and see what they recommend. There are dog repellents out there.

RE: Lowering TV tire pressures
On my tires it states 80 lbs pressure. That is what I leave them at towing or not. However, if you want a softer ride I would follow the guidelines on your left vehicle door jam, but not any less.
Must be a real pleasure riding with you.
At least you know you are safe. The manufacture puts a specific recommended pressure stamped on the tires for a reason. The vehicle manufacture puts another pressure on the door jam so you get a softer ride, but not generally safer. I would vote for the tire manufacturer specs, not the truck manufacturer suggested pressure. Check it out.

RE: Roof caulking?
Don't say what you used, but silicone is a no-no with RV's. I use Dicor on the roof and Lexel on the sides. I also hear something called ?? = 303 is good too. Be sure to clean the area well of calk and use alcohol to clean.

RE: Pa. road restrictions
Yes. As of 6 years ago. I lived there. As a matter of fact we are heading that way in about 9 days from MA to I-81, via Stoudsburg Rt. 33 to 78.

RE: Twinkle Star Water Pressure Regulator
I am not sure what brand of regulator I have because I am out of state right now, but be sure you get an adjustable regulator with a gauge, not just one with a gauge that is preset.

RE: Furnace won’t ignite
Above good advise, but also turn on your stove burners while trying it. If air in the lines it will help clear it.

RE: Purchasing Motor HOme from Campers Inn
You are not saying what brand of MH. I have heard bad things about them years ago. We purchased our 2012 5er in Michigan at Terry Town RV. Had an excellent experience with them.

RE: Diesel truck issues - thinking of going to gas
Yes, I am including tires etc. Since I had the truck in 2006 I spent $16K on it. Some things that come to memory are: Turbo maintenance, turbo hose clamps coming off, High pressure sensor, 2 X injectors, Breaks, EGR X2, undercoating, tires. Rear end needed change and maintenance due to rust on breather screen. So far no transmission problems. When it runs though it is great and can tow my 5er with no problem. I am thinking of getting new shocks for it next year although not needed yet.(116,000 mi)

RE: Best Self-Leveling Sealant For An Aluminum Roof?
I have a Vinyl roof and use Dicor. I would call them to see if they recommend it on Aluminum. One note about Aluminum. I had a Class A once that had an AL roof and it developed bad leaks and pin holes. Seems the manufacture installed the AL over steel without a barrier. That caused electrolysis in the AL causing failures. Be sure your RV does not have that issue.

RE: Sealant, Weatherproof Tape, & Coating; Or Sealant & Coating?
For maintaining seals I use Dicor on the roof and Lexel on the sides. If there is a tear on the roof I have used Eternabone Tape (The best one..self sealing) and then I use Dicor on the edges. Never had a problem.

RE: Diesel truck issues - thinking of going to gas
You will find entries a dime a dozen in this web site about truck problems. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what brand you have there are going to be problems. The average seems to be between $1000 to $2000 per year. I have a Ford diesel 6.0 and thought I had the only truck that breaks down. Not so. This year I spent $3K for maintenance repairs. It has about 110,000 miles.
