    SAFETY WARNING: 235RW Pantry Wiring DANGER

    For those with a walk-in Pantry, like the 235RW that has a TV and electric fireplace, I discovered something pretty scary. As you know, this is the door to the pantry, the whole thing swings open. As a result all the electrical has to pass through a split loom conduit between the wall...

    Wow! We were very fortunate and I have never had a blown brake line ever. We were driving off our leveling ramps and tapped the brakes to stop. Foot went to the floor and red idiot light came on the dashboard. Checked master cylinder and no brake fluid. I didnt see any leaks. Local truck...

    Automatic Crank Safety Cable

    While camping last weekend, the yellow safety cable detached from the front inside support. I can't seem to find a way to reattach it online. Anyone have instructions? I'm not referring to a lift cable, I was told by the dealer it was simply a safety cable for the lift system. TIA

    Ford E-450 Safety Recall 24S07

    I've got a 3011DS. Received notice of Safety Recall. Checked with numerous local Ford dealerships and they tell me that they can't perform the action required in Recall. It's merely checking and possibly replacing a power steering hose. Seems that I need to locate the Commercial Ford side of the...

    Safety Alert Sensor

    I just had to replace my Safe-T-Alert 25-741 carbon monoxide/propane alarm in my Wildwood X-Lite 171RBXL. It expired the first day of a 10 day trip so a friend cut the wires to make it stop beeping. We replaced the sensor today and found we now have no current to the wires. Does anyone know if...

    Propane Safety Curiosity Question

    Just curious. My propane griddle comes with warnings on every other page not to use in an inside space such as an RV. Yet my RV has a built-in propane stove. Is there really a safety difference or is this just liability avoidance? I'll be using it outside only, but just wondering.

    Adding safety chains to a propane tank to help keep it from falling to the road

    Due to the cracks and outright failures a few people have reported on their later model year Georgetowns, and because we had two cracks on our 2020 Georgetown GT5 with 17,000 miles, we wanted to add some type of "last resort" protection to keep the propane tank from falling and possibly hitting...

    Tongue Weight, Weight and Balance = SAFETY

    I'm sure this has probably been shared a number of times, but for those who don't have experience with the tail wagging the dog, this little demo is worth a thousand words. The minimum tongue weight should be 10% of GVWR (or actual weight on a CAT scale). 15% is better. This video (on...
