  1. I use other Apps, Mudflap and GasBuddy in addition to TSD because out west, Mavericks have prices that are better than Loves. Also, some smaller locations can be found with GasBuddy. Many Mavrick locations easily accommodate large RVs and Trucks.
  2. You have to be careful when dumping all the air out. When the campsite has a lower corner, i.e. left rear lower than left front. I this situation you will twist the frame and possibly pop the windshield. You want to put the front jack down so the coach can roll some without twisting the frame.
  3. Fully agree with Scotty. The jacks are offset from the axles and bend the frame differently than when on the suspension. The coach is built while it's on the wheels and suspension at full ride height. Thus, when you support on the jacks you are distorting the frame and clearances on the slide out mechanism. Also, there is only a single front jack and when the slides are extended the frame is twisted.
  4. Tim I am wondering where you put the noise suppressor in you A/C control line and its size. I have a similar problem of short cycling.
  5. Scotty, Prayers are with you and your family as they work their way through this. You and Frank are major contributors to the success of this site. Everyone appreciates your efforts.
  6. I have done what you want to do while on a caravan to Alaska. Yes, plug the cord into the block heater outlet. Now, on my unit the outlet is at the radiator because I have a rear radiator. On your 03 Navigator you have a switch on the dash and "there is an outlet" shown in the schematics. Where it is, may be a challenge to find but most likely in the engine compartment. However, I wouldn't be concerned about unplugging the block heater as you are in the South and don't need it.
  7. I have the Verizon Home internet box. I have used from AZ to WA, MI to UT and AZ to MI with good results. Worked in some remote locations in California and Colorado. I can stream Prime video at about 10Mbs. With my cellular plan, it costs $25/mo. I do get 5G at my house in AZ.
  8. I have had the Roadmaster on 2 different coaches and 4 different toads. One toad, a 2006 Ford Escape hybrid, had active power brakes because they were powered electrically. I changed the 1 1/4" diameter cylinder to a 5/8" diameter cylinder. This gave the right braking with the active power brakes which is a 4:1 boost. Roadmaster sells a "regulator" for active systems but it's not proportional, just limits the pressure. I have talked to their reps. at shows, and they don't understand the difference.
  9. I use Google Earth to give me a view of the campground. You can see how many trees are there. Also, if there is a lot of junk around the campground. Google Earth can be somewhat outdated, but generally gives a reasonable overview of campground and roads to get there. Individual campsite views can be helpful, easily doctored. I do use site photos from the campground websites.
  10. Yes, you have to have your key in the accessory or on position on some models, depending on the year to operate the jacks. That is because of an interlock relay that is triggered by the key. However, the power comes from the house batteries on most models.
  11. I also have the Verizon home internet router. There is no throttling on it and is unlimited data. I have used for streaming the last 2 years with good results.
  12. Jack's get power from house batteries. There are high amp circuit breakers in the battery compartment.
  13. I got a pair at REV repair in Oregon a few years ago.
  14. Kurtis, Most likely the Nason switch on the park brake valve. SM-1C-66R/WP28 by NASON - Buy or Repair at Radwell - Radwell.com
  15. The park bell relay are in the Monaco box 2. It appears there are two relays in the box. I Relay #1 has wire 64 H going to the alarm.
