HDT Members On The Road, Including Their Current Locations


Jim Gehlen

Recommended Posts

We are in Mayo, FL at Suwannee River Rendezvous until Monday. John Palmer exchanged the inverter remote he sold me in January for a new one that is compatable with my hybrid inverter. I installed it this morning and my lithium battery seems to like the new settings I was able to program. Hope saying that doesn't jinx it!

 

Friday I am taking truck down to Henry for a hitch repairs/upgrade.

 

We will go to Topsail SP on Monday for 5 nights including Christmas.

 

Merry Christmas everyone!

JC.....where did you put the Volvo at Boyd's...rent a second spot?

 

They have storage there. Just about like renting a spot. But we have a storage place on big pine key that is 50 bucks a month. Edited by JC and Angie

Nice photos, is the entry door actually in a slide out? Sure looks that way. Hope the crowd isn't too bad that I can't see it Saturday.

Yep,,, nice pics -- glad to see what looks like a 4-step automatic entry steps(?); on close inspection, entry door is adjacent the LR slide (not in it!).

 

How do I learn/contact John Palmer? I may need solar "fix", looking for advice (him or Jack)?

 

We are (soon) in Mesa, AZ for the winter; give a holler if you get close enough to chat!

How do the steps attach on the Summit that is at the show?

I'm not Jack but did see the steps. They appear to have brackets attached to the wall with pins. Didn't look all that close though and my photos don't really show them well except the door is in the slide out. That was a first for me.

I should have mentioned that this was how the previous manufacturer did the stair thing... I do not know if New Horizons is doing it this way or not.

Excel did it on their Winslow line 2 years ago. Then they crashed and burned...

The steps you see on the new Summit are exactly the steps that Excel used. They work identically. Brian is now at New Horizons and he brought the steps with him - so to speak....

 

There are many floorplans for the Summit; not all have the steps in the slide.

We are working our way towards RGV. With a little luck, we should arrive tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon.

 

Today was one of those days that reinforced my decision to join the hdt ranks. We lost the trailer brakes, going down hill to a stop signal. Near 20k back there.........

 

So, when it gets light, I'll start diagnosing. Never worked on electric/hydraulic disc before.... MaxBrake says trailer connection lost so it might be a bad connection in the plug or Jackalopee.

Finishing up the solar install in Mayo, FL. Leaving for Livingston on Wed and will be there until around Feb 5. Look us up if you are in the area.

You might want to wait a day with all the rain. We are in Pensacola and sitting it out....will leave Thursday. Will overnight at Frog City RV Park, Duson LA. Next stop is Montgomery, TX KOA.

Jack we're in Buda next door to the Cabela's, so if your heading for a stay in Burnet/Marble Falls let us know and maybe we can work out a chance to get in a visit with Danielle, Poppy and you.

Likewise for anyone heading through Austin on I-35.
