General Discussion / Re: Heading West
« Last post by Steve Huber on Today at 02:29:23 AM »
We RVed out of AZ but the majority of our relatives were in the SE. Living in the Phoenix area we had easy access to I10/I20 and I40. In the summer we would run I40 and winter I10 or I10-20 depending our ultimate destination. Overall we preferred I40 above the other 2. There is better scenery (IMHO) along I40 and also more points of interest (again IMHO). Bearazona in Williams, AZ is a must see. White Buffao, Bears, Wolves, Sheep, etc area all in there natural settings as you drive through the park. In Flagstaff, Black Barts RV park and steakhouse are great. Servers are college students who also serenade you. Galllup NM has some very good Indian jewelry spots that aren't ripoffs. Albuquerque has any number of attraction. NM Mexican food is IMHO the best in the country. If you are adventurous head south on I25 in Albuquerque and pick up US 60 west bound in Socorro, NM. You'll travel through a number or quaint small towns with good homestyle restaurants in all. Do not speed in Magalena and if you like pie, Pie Town is a must stop. The Very Large Array of radio telescopes is located on the Plains of St Augustine. In Showlow AZ you'll have to decide whether to head to Phoenix via Payson or stay on US 60. The former is dual lane most of the way to Phx. US 60 routes you through Sal River Canyon. It's beautiful with many overlooks for photos, etc. However, avoid it if your exhaust brake, coach brakes and cooling system are not in good shape as you will drop 2000 ft and then climb back out in about a 2-3 mile horizontal span.
The only downside of I40 is OK & TX due to possible summer storms.

That would depend upon your departure point and destination, plus avoiding those darned storms that spawn tornadoes.  Where is I1; you mean I10 and I8?

I use a ozone machine and let it run both in the front and back. It seems to eliminate orders and is supposed to kill anything still growing.  The motorhome has to be empty to use it. It also smells fresher after it has been run.

Technical Support / Re: Bedroom slide and brake (Problem Resolved)
« Last post by Rick Vyncke on June 14, 2026, 01:32:31 AM »
After struggling to resolve the issue where the motor brake prevented the slide from moving, I removed the new motor from the gear case and reinstalled the original motor.  Problem solved!

The original motor was a Klauber that was rated at 10 amps and 9 RPM’s.  The replacement Klauber was rated at 20 amps and 16 RPM’s.  I brought this to the attention of both eTrailer as well as Lippert technical support and they both assured me it would work.  It did not, but given that the original issue was a failed gearbox, I had the ability to switch back to the original motor on the new gearbox.

Her doctor should have determined those things to which she is allergic.  If it's fabric, wood, etc., used in building the coach, then that won't be able to get cleaned; maybe removed or sealed though.

Air conditioners typically have some mold growth which gets blown out the vents into the coach's interior.  Cleaning mold from a RV AC unit might be impossible.  I don't know.  Look on Amazon for a mold detection kit.  There are several there I found.

Planning a long trip westward. And stay in my coach for a year while doing business in California. My wife has allergies, and the coach seems to trigger them. Any idea or company that could do a deep cleaning? She sees the brown line on the roof, no leak of any kind, and says there is mold in the coach. I spray the line with flex, and they disappear. Of course, I do not have any reaction to the issue of the coach and would love to have her on my journey.

I did a search using the search argument "replac "transfer switch"" and found dozens of entries.  Here are two that have transfer switch IDs.

What is the transfer switch of choice for a 2002 marquis with basement air?
