  1. Like Linda said. We did same. A good topper foam like egg crate style did great for us for several years. Cost was around $80 for a good one.
  2. Check valve was one of my issues and also the filter housing primer pump combo. After replacing it no more issues. I also suspected the housing when having to pump to start It got harder to start after a few times Yours may be elsewhere.
  3. What Jack mentions is correct and in newer install there should be enough capacity in the feed wiring and protection. But there are lots and I mean lots of older CG with wiring installed over the past 30-40 years. Some good some not so good. Some are also fed with a dedicated line rated for the load 50 amp each leg from a main sub panel each site having a CB in the sub rated near the 50 amp if you start drawing heavy on both 50 amp legs then the 30 too which shares one of the 50 legs it could trip the feed or over time cause damage Did they size the Neutral to cover a mis balanced load ? The problem is when people start using the pedestals like this without being aware of the layout and not requesting permission it can be a problem. Now this Teton guy may well enquirer before he connects as others doing this. That’s good. But if not. Well. Just my 2 cents. Not trying to flame anyone here at all
  4. Not a wise practice using the 30 and 50 for heavy draw at same time in the same pedistal. Most CG supply can’t handle this. The intention of multiple type outlets is to accommodate different rigs not some guy with a non standard setup There may be some that can handle it but betting if you ask permission they say NO way
  5. May not be related but there are fault codes that can be checked. We have had a common problem that stopped it from draining. Found the debris catch screen full of dog hair. Its under the bottom front cover at floor level. Easy access. Unscrew it and pull out the mess. Watch for water to come out. Lots if drum is full. Use plastic garbage bag and towel. Catch 90%.
  6. Good Sam platinum plan. Covers multiple RVs. Basic plan only covers one RV. So with the Volvo MH that's what they told us ten years ago. Only one tire call. We had CAA (same as AAA) no Volvo coverage.
  7. I use this process on a 12 yr old gelcoat with painted graphics. Lasted 3 yrs first time. Just stripped and redid it this past fall. Yes it's an effort but after trying most everything out there to clean and wax nothing brought back that nice shine. No worries as to getting this on another vehicle applying by hand as I did. That would be impossible. ? If you clean and reapply before it starts to go bad it works. There would be no concern to repaint since it can be removed with stripper and the surface would be sanded and prepared anyway. But no way I'm repainting a trailer this age for $15k ?
  8. We checked into Disney Ft Wilderness on the first. Going to Tampa RV show 18-22 Jan. Dry camping in NE lot with bunch of folks!
  9. Nice work. You were a patient man it would appear. When you walk out of the office tag in hand it's truely a "Quick start the car" type of moment. Pardon the " " not really sure if I did that right ?

    Getting New Seats

    We have the Sears Elite 80. Leather with std adjustments. They are very nice. Had for 6 yrs now. Got them at a good price in ATL Kenwirth. Also ordered the adapter plates at same time. Were $600 ea seat and $45 ea adapter. Installed in the parking lot. Sold the old nationals on Craig's list and he picked them up when I was there.
  11. Currently at a Race and most if not all large race hauler trailers are 3 axle. Ones on gooseneck and Semi type. It's the Tires and loading and press that makes the diff. Axle allignment also plays a huge part. It the camber or toe is out you can ruin a tire on any axle in a few thousand miles. Seen it myself My trailer currently has 2 8k axles but I would go three with no issue. Cost of tires goes up though at 6 each time. ?
  12. We are in Davenport Fl at Kissimmee South Carefree park until April. Will be at Tampa RV show mid Jan and Sprint car races at Volusia Speedway mid Feb. Hope to meet up with some HDTrs!! Bill
  13. We made it back up to Northern Ontraio on Sunday and a nice pile of snow was waiting! Clear roads up on Sunday though. The Soo locks are still froze over. Had to have the park entrance and drive plowed just to get rig in. No where to turn around at all. Come on Rain!! We had a great time at the ECR in Crossville TN. Great folks and a great park there too. Enjoyed meeting everyone too. Time to get back to work!! Bill and Joan
  14. We are in Busnell Fl at Blueberry Hill RV park. Will be here until 16 Jan when we move to Tampa RV show.
  15. We are parked next to Rick, "Tweaker" in Naples! Good passport rate for the week. Bill
