RE: Thoughts on slider awnings
After a rain, have DW stand beside the slide to watch and make sure it rolls up properly.
Did you mean to have your wife stand in FRONT of the slide to see if water comes off? :)

RE: A/C Gasket
I have a 2012 5er purchased new. Never tightened the 4 bolts for the roof A/C gasket. If it doesn't leak why tighten it? I used to have many years ago a 1988 Class A where the gasket leaked. It was tightened and the leaks stopped for a bit. It is possible the more you tighten, the gasket looses its ability to do its job. If it is leaking, I would not tighten it more than 1/4 turn at a time.

RE: Buying RV that's been stored
Check everything like you would any used RV. But also check for rodent damage.

RE: Concrete driveway thickness??
My pad for my 5er is 6" thick and is reinvorced by fiberglass. There are also different classes of concrete. Mine is rated for 4000 lbs per square inch. (56 x 20)
Forgot to add there is a good base of crushed stone as a base.

RE: Purchasing land to live on in DC area - zoning questions
Check your Zoning. We have agricultural land in NC and have a pad and all R hook ups on it with a shed for our toys and washer/dryer. Living there is great, but there is one catch. 6 months at time only. Check your zoning or building Dept. to see if any restrictions. It works for us because we do leave to go North for 6 months.

RE: Dish TV Pay-As-You-Go RV Plan
We checked into this several years ago. Don't know if it changed. But, in order to have this plan you need a home account. Without a base they won't do it.

RE: Still not a happy camper .
They want you bad as a client. I have an idea, but not funny. If you stake a claim with them maybe they will cancel you.

RE: Water heater keeps stopping
Not sure what brand you have. Did you check the manual or internet. Sounds like a thermal cut off switch.

RE: Looking for help/suggestions for backup camera.
If you have a RV Garmin, they have cameras. I got an email yesterday and they have a good sale on them for Father's Day.

RE: Looking at using the Fantastic Fan while in storage
We stay 6 mo. up North and 6 Mo in NC. We have our 5er parked on our lot and live in it when we are home. The first year we went up North we came back in October to find much mold in the RV from moisture build up. While a fan might help with circulation, you still might have problems in those hidden spaces. Last year we got a dehumidifier and also put the smaller air conditioner on the highest setting. I think 95 degrees. The slides are closed. The water from the dehumidifier goes down the shower drain and out through the grey water tank. Last year we had zero mold. This year we hope for the same. If you have someone you trust, have them check the dehumidifier filter 1X/mo. and just brush it off. The A/C filter hardly had any dust in it, because no one was living there. I expect the dehumidifier to be the same. Good luck. Keep that mold out. Believe me you don't want it.

RE: gps which one is best,second best
Use your Garmin along with the Rand McNally TRUCKERS ATLAS. If you are planning a trip compare the routes on the GPS with the Atlas to be sure all is well. Covers heights and truck routes. With this procedure you will not find yourself lost or at a low bridge.

RE: Hard side 5th wheel leak
Be sure to find out where the leak is coming from. Seal it then put eternabond tape over it. Then seal the edges of the eternabond.
