Looks like it would be pretty hard to dump the holding tanks if you have to crawl under it. I notice they have the coach jacked up on jack stands so they can reach it easier.

We've been there several times, it is literally a "gigantic" flea market, they have a large RV show, gem shows and a lot of other things going on during the winter months. If you can't find what you are looking for here then they probably don't make it. We once spent 3 days walking around ...

Use Dicor: http://www.dicor.com/ you can easily reseal in a couple of years but Silicone is VERY hard to remove once applied since nothing will stick to it and it has to be totally removed to re-apply any caulking.

I remove mine every time I drain the hot water tank, it comes off easily with a 1/2" Socket (1 1/16" socket) wrench. If you don't remove and check or replace the anode you will probably damage your tank (if the anode is depleted). A new replacement is about $10.00. When you reinstall use t...

Like Oliver I installed a Repeater & AP with an external omni directional antenna and it works fine and pulls in signals from up to 1 mile away (line of site), it is a lot more technical to install. If you just want some good free security options I suggest using DNS Crypt: https://www.opendns.c...

Steve, I use Redline Synthetic oil in our 2005 24RB and picked up about 1/2 MPG. https://www.redlineoil.com/products.aspx I use 5W-40 and change the oil myself. The oil filter is really easy to reach. I use Mobil1 M-210 oil filter: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/MOB5/M1210.oap?pt=C0289&...
