  1. These guys are the experts. https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/gear/long-range-wifi/
  2. Have you seen this video below? It would work if the previous owner never changed the default password. Otherwise, I would definitely call WiFiRanger. Phone: 208.321.5544 (open at 8 a.m.) They are based in Meridian, Idaho. Very helpful people! Time your call for early during the workday, you will have an easier time getting through. We LOVE our WiFiRanger product. I'm currently using it to be on the WiFi network at the Elks Lodge we are parked at.
  3. We have friends with a 2018 DRV Mobile Suites. They too needed to replace some floor tiles. They belong to the DRV Mobile Suites Facebook page. From there, they discovered that their floor tiles could be picked up at Lowe's of all places. So that is what they did, it matched perfectly. So maybe ask you question in the Facebook group too.
  4. I was having a similar problem. I checked with my dealer. They said anything growing (microbes) in the fuel line or dirt in the fuel line could cause a restriction on one side or the other. They recommended running a fuel tank cleaner for the dirt and a biocide for the microbes. Did both and things now seem better.
  5. If you have the standard cylindrical tanks you can go to https://halltank.com/tank-charts/ and input your dimensions. It will then give you a list of inches to gallons. So if you dip your tanks, measure the depth, then use the list you will know how many gallons of fuel remain. For my use it has been very accurate. If you do this you can find your fuel usage without filling up. Hope this helps.
  6. Yup, that's the next challenge. What size socket will fit it? I haven't been able to find that answer yet.
  7. Ah...so it's a sensor that feeds info to an air gauge. Thanks Darryl&Rita. I have a call into a truck place about 50 miles away. But if it is just giving info to a gauge, I'm assuming it won't hurt to drive the RV this way until we get to a bigger town.
  8. Help! Our 2004 Freightliner Columbia started hissing air from behind the dash when the husband stepped on the brakes. Yikes! The dash is now torn apart and the air seems to be coming from the back of this "sensor/??". (See the attached picture, yellow arrow points to the item in question.) What is this sensor/valve? Why so many of them? We are looking for any clues as to what is going on.
  9. To correct the original question, you don't have algae in your tank. Algae is a plant that needs sunlight. It exists by using photosynthesis. Since there is no sunlight in your tanks you don't have algae, you have microbes, such as yeast. Anywhere there are hydrocarbons (such as diesel fuel) and water microbes can exist, they don't need sunlight. As mentioned in a previous post I like the Power Service products. I have used them for years with no problems. Using a biocide will stop the microbes from growing but any that have grown still need to be cleaned out which is why the filters will need to be changed until they are all gone. Also as mentioned above keeping the tanks full is helpful. Anytime I will be parking for a longer period of time I put in the Power Service additives and fill the tanks. Keeping a clean fuel system is one of the requirements of running a diesel engine. Good luck!
  10. There is a reason we call our RV the Blue Flame. We have a 2004 Freightliner Showhauler with flames on the fiberglass hood. After 15 years, the decals on our hood were crazing. Even though the RV was inside 50% of the time, the sun finally got to it. The rest of the RV's decals looked great. So that's one caution, decals don't last forever. We had a hard time finding someone to finding someone to redo the flames. The first issue was the original decals were printed via an inkjet type printer to get a color gradient across the length of the flames. No one wanted to try recreating that. Second, I had someone tell me they didn't want to work with the curves of the hood. We finally found a guy in Phoenix that was willing to tackle the job. The solution was to use vinyl used to detail cars. We matched the blue that was at the front of the cab doors. Cost was $850 dollars. It looks SO MUCH better now! I wrote a whole blogpost on the process. You can find it at https://rv.cjsquare.com/2019/05/the-blue-flame-gets-a-nose-job/ Usually the blog is private, but I opened it up so you can see what we had to do to get our graphics replaced. Feel free to check it out.
