I have Gmail so I haven't been having this problem. I can't speak to other mail servers but occasionally with Gmail something that I want is marked as spam. However I have the option of marking it as not spam and it starts go back into my inbox. I don't know if this will help anyone but it might be something to check. Obviously it won't help if the message gets remove before it even reaches your spam folder.

That sounds great Edgar! Can you tell me where you got them?

I have the exact same coach only a 2003 year model. The label inside the coach calls for a 235/80RX22.5. I'm running Toyo 245/75R22.5 M154 tires. They are 8 years old, have around 50k miles on them and have no cracks and have given me absolutely no problems. They are however to the point where I plan to replace them this summer. I will be replacing them with the same tires. I like Toyos and you know what they say, "If it ain't broke don't fix it." I hope this helps and good luck finding a good price. I'll be doing the same thing very soon.

The steering wheel should always be centered on the steering box. That's done by counting the stop to stop turns on the wheel return it half of that and then centering the steering wheel. That never needs to be done again unless the steering wheel or steering column are disconnected. After that the wheels are centered using linkage adjustments under the vehicle, typically the drag link. Doing it this way assures that the steering box is centered when you going straight down the road as it should be as well as having the steering wheel centered.

With the engine off you are measuring the movement of the actuating valve in the power steering. Starting the engine eliminates almost all of that movement.

Been there, done that also. Even though I had a class A. There are more reason's than that to leave California.

I'm 70 and I do all of my own work. My motorhome has never been to a shop. I'm going to have to pull the bedroom slide soon so I can replace the seals. I'm just about finished building a 40' x 24' barn to park in. So far I can do just about everything but much slower than I used to. I see the handwriting on the wall though. I don't know for how long.

Normally that relay is only turned on by the key switch. That's where I would start looking for the problem. If you can unplug the key switch and that relay shuts off then you need a new key switch.

The problem may not be what's on the accessory relay circuit but that the accessory relay is on while the key is off.

I love 395 with Bishop and Lone Pine and the Alabama Hills. I'm into photography and it doesn't get much better than that. Let me know when you're going and if we're around you're welcome to spend the night here.

A few years ago I found some raccoons had gone under my MH and got on top of the cargo bins that go in and out with the slide. I found their tracks in the dust. Fortunately it seemed to be a one time thing.

Yes it is. If you're coming this way let me know.

Wow, that's just about a block from us.

225 Imperial Road.

If you need a overnight spot near Carson City let me know. I have 5 acres and full hookups out in Dayton.

If there is problem with your MH charging system the "Toad Battery Charger" won't charge your toad. I think all it has over a direct wire system is some indicator lights and maybe a diode.

I just added a fused 12 gauge wire from my house batteries to an extra pin on the 7 pin trailer plug. On the car end run the wire from the same pin to the battery. That end should be fused also. The house batteries charge when I'm driving or on shore power so my toad battery does too. If I stop for a night with shore power and don't unhook the car I don't even bother to turn the key off because the car battery will charge with the house batteries. I've been running it that way for the last five year an never had a problem.

If you put it in the battery compartment it may or may not present an explosion problem, probably not. What you may end up having is a corrosion problem. You don't want your expensive electronics looking like your battery trays do.

The batteries might be the whole problem. I would replace them first and make sure they've had time to fully change and then check the voltage again.

All good charging systems are voltage regulated. They don't give a cumulative effect. When multiple systems are trying to charge the one set for the highest voltage will do the lions share of the charging and the others will cut back. That being said, 200 watts of solar can only produce around 13 amps at 15v. That's not much more than a trickle charge for the 4 6v batteries here and wouldn't be capable of raising their voltage to 15+ volts even if the solar regulator was bad. There must be something else at play here.

I use a macerator regularly. A few months ago I switched to a product called Unique RV Digest-it. I feel like it works better at breaking down the solids than the products I've used in the past. It handles odors well and it's septic tank safe. I think it's actually good for septic tanks. It's available on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07564FPHL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I agree with Dwight. I'm thinking it's a low voltage issue. Turning on the inverter might drop the voltage just enough to cause the problem.

I agree with you that the batteries are overcharging and that the voltage shouldn't be much more than 14.5v. The first thing I would do is check the battery water. If they are in fact overcharging they may be low. I'd be suspicious of those readings though. I'm not sure your solar panels are capable of bringing good batteries up to that high of a voltage.

I am another satisfied user of the RVI Brake. I've been using it for 5 years without a single complaint. For a while I had two vehicles I used as toads and it only took a couple of minutes to put it in either car. The only thing installed permanently in the Toad is a break-away switch and wire.

That's how I would do it. It's much safer that way.
