Currently pouring here (again!!), has been off & on for the past week or so, but at least we're on a hill top.



Wishing you lots of luck with this mess.

Thanks. All we lost was stuff we were going to get rid of. Four of the men from the Church - our house is a parsonage - removed any carpet, took off the baseboards and cut off the bottom 12 inches of drywall and will return to cut the wallboard tomorrow.
Our photos floated in a plastic box dry!
Meanwhile the 26RR was as dry as a bone and no basement flooding there! [emoji16]

No more siphoning from fresh water tank.

Added a connector and another length of tube and a valve. I now have full tank when I arrive at campsite after filling.

No functionality, but added theses items today:
Indoor/outdoor thermometer
Camping picture

Were did you stick the receiver outside?

[mxdad]

On the inside of the awning post. Secured with Command Strips.

[RiderBloke]

I hang mine under the rear of the steps using a Velcro strap and hopefully remember to put it inside before I drive off.

See I'm to lazy and would want it permanent.

[mxdad]

It has a hole in the top where you could make it permanent. I considered on the tail side of the TV antenna. Out of the wind while traveling and not affected by direct sunlight. Maybe another day when I get more motivated.....

Added a hard start capacitor to my ac. My 3500 champion kicked into overload and my progressive EMS shut down system when compressor kicked in. Added this hard start capacitor and it goes fine now.

Here is my generator hooked up to my propane quick disconnect.

Also put new shoes on her (found some load range D tires) and greased the wheel bearings.

The fridge/freezer looks interesting (esp if I end up with an ambulance TV).
What tires did you get?

[mxdad]

They are a china brand (can't find many Merican 14" tires) called Zeemax. They have an additional 60# capacity per tire and they run at 65PSI.

Where did you put fridge? TV or in TT?

[rmac04401]

My trailer has about 140# of new steel under it now. Lipert had to do that to straighten out my frame.

The camber was found to be negative when the techs checked my TT at Goshen.

Come to find out this is why I had a bow in the metal up high on trailer.

And I just took it through the scales again two weeks ago.

So my camper probably is heavier than MaxDads now!!!!

It will normally sit outside, but since it has been raining, we put it under the table at the back. Don't even notice it back there.

Where did the techs reinforce your frame? Did they say if yours was a one time thing, or could it be something that affects others?

[rmac04401]

It reaches from about middle of trailer to almost the rear. I'll try and get pics. I had some bowing of the side panels and door issues they did a line test and it was negative camber. Frame suppose to be smile shape. Mine was part of frown in back.

Ron, what year is your 26RR?
Did the techs have any clue as to what may have caused the situation?
Did you notice this with the tt just 'setting on the tires' or was it even evident when set-up on the leveling jacks?

[extxn]

BTW ~ how did your new to you tv handle the road & tug the tt along?
