I have done two over the years. I got mine out of Tucson, AZ. What we did was pull the refers out of the cabinet, then layed it over the coffee table, (back of refer face up looking at you) that was protected by cardboard and a blanket. All the preliminary work that was inside the freezer box and refer box, that needed to be done was taken care of while still in the cabinet. Then took the screws out on the back that hold the cooling unit to the box. Then came the "scary" part, removing the unit from the box itself. I used a short pry bar with a 2x4 underneath it to provide leverage. While it was separating, "cracking" sounds of it braking loose and just popped out. Be sure to follow the instructions when applying the new mastic which is very important. The second one I did, it probably took me half the time of the first. Not a bad job, but having two people really help. There are some good videos online and the Tucson supplier also had very good instructions.

bigjim, come on, nobody says "automatically" like Broadway Joe!

Another good idea when working on batteries is to remove rings and any other jewelry. A friend of mind was changing batteries in an Airstream Diesel pusher which were a real PITA and darn near lost a finger.

noteven, I don't care if you are a rookie or a veteran RVer, don't get me started on the "I" and "O" deal on switches. Like the old AT&T commercial "I could just reach out and touch someone".
-
The control box is in the storage bay and has one of the in/out switches on it. The box also contains a switch to turn on or off the wind sensor.

DC area as one poster said, Cherry Hill just off the beltway. Having lived 85 miles out of DC we always used Bull Run County Park just outside Manassas, VA. Short drive to the Metro station with free parking. The easy way to get around DC because of so many parking limitations in the city. Very easy to use and we always found the Metro employees very friendly and helpful. Just a stones throw from Bull Run Battlefield of the Civil War. I have no trouble driving in DC but the parking is so limited.

I never had a problem YET with the 9200. But mine has two in/out switches. One on the control box in bay storage area and another inside the fiver. Might be worth checking for a second switch.
-
I'm like docj said above. Our fiver is 16 years old. Never have been asked, nor would I want to stay at a joint like that.

Lowes. Unfortunately there is no Mennards in the area of Yuma, AZ. I believe the closest is in Casper, WY.

I don't know how many trucks they have running around Yuma and Quartzite, AZ. in the winter. They also have a kiosk at the Arizona Market Place here in Yuma in the winter.

Well the Bolt situation just got worse. Evidently, a couple of weeks ago, a 2020 Bolt burnt up. So now all 2017- 2020, not sure about the 2021, will be recalled world wide at the tune of 1 billion bucks. If I was a Bolt owner, I'd really like a buy back at fair market value. Or better yet GM buy them back, and crush them.
-
Highest priced recall of an American made car in history. 800 million, $11,200 per Bolt. I think they are giving the owners an 100,000 miles and maybe 8 years. Personally, if I owned one I'd like what VW did with their cheating software, buy back or pay me off and they are off the hook. If the warranty becomes an issue that GM is giving, the price would certainly go higher.

The Big Boy 4104 is on it's summer tour. If you are a railroad buff or just like seeing these types of thing, it is a throw back. We saw it in 2019 pass thru Yuma, AZ. We were on straight stretch just outside the city limits after spending the night in Yuma. When it got to us she was really rocking and rolling.
This is the schedule for this season.

Brad NSW, are they "reservation only"? We drove thru Mike Harris a couple of years ago and don't remember.

We used the Indiana State Fairgrounds when we went to the Indy 500 for years. Good Sam, Airstream, and Holiday Rambler also used it for rallys.

The only campground I can think of would be Valley View in Island Park, ID. about 13 miles from the west gate at West Yellowstone. They can handle 80' on some sites. Also Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone lists 80' pull-thrus. If this is a four rig trip, reservations need to be made now. Quite an accomplishment to pull it off in my estimation. We have been in that area 15 times out of the last 18 summers.

Not only is the US going to welcome our northern neighbors, but what restrictions will the Canadian government put on their citizens?

Hey Vegas Teacher, we use to live about 60 miles from Chocolate Town USA. Tell her to bring you back a bunch candy bars and Kisses.

Solo 18, since coming out west from Penna. about 18 years ago, we haven't been back to Michigan. But watching the Indy Car race from Belle Isle last month that sure looks really nice. And of course the Motown Museum, I don't think was up running yet. I would have really been in Hog Heaven. "My Girl, My Girl"!

Hope this helps. Have a great day!

We have had to have extra Trimark keys made in the couple of years. Tried Ace, Lowes, and a couple of other places and no go. Went to a local lock shop and locksmith, he took a quick look at what I brought him, "be back in a minute or two", he had them cut and ready.

Kirk, I'll try to find the paper work, been quite a while. The first one he shipped directly to me, the 2nd, he had a RV repair joint here in Yuma that became a dealer and was bringing a load over to here, so he put my name on it, and I just stopped by and picked it up. I saw him up at Quartzite one time and he had a tandem axle flatbed just loaded full. He had just picked them up from outfits around Q.
