RE: Genesis Folding Porta Bote
When I couldn't find a used bote in my area about 3 months ago, I bought from the company. They were on sale, but it was still expensive. I got a 12' bote. I feel the 14' bote would be too heavy for me.

RE: Checking power polarity, grounding, etc at the pedestal
I have a Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C but still use this before plugging in.

RE: Calling all ONAN experts
I called Flight Systems. They said it really does sound like the controller board, which they do not carry. If a replacement is needed they said ONAN is the only option. If I can get it out of the generator, they will check it for $25. If they fix it, they apply the $25 fee to the repair fee and the total will be $100. I am trying to remove the 2 screws holding it in, but they ain't budging. I may have to drill them out.
A further detail, when I hit the stop button for 3 seconds with the generator not running, the fuel pump cuts on, so it definitely isn't the switch.

Calling all ONAN experts
ONAN 4kw gasoline Model# 4KYFA26100K Serial# J060983495 with, maybe, 60 hours on it.
I exercised it today for an hour and everything was fine. I pressed the stop button on the remote and it slowed for a moment like it was going to stop, but then resumed running, but the 110v power died.
I flipped the breaker in the RV off and on but the power did not come back on.
I flipped the breaker on the generator off and back on but the power did not come back on. So I flipped the breaker on the generator in case it had tripped completely off, but the power did not come back on. OK, no power.
I pressed the stop button on the generator but it did nothing whatsoever. The only way to stop the generator was to take a C-clamp and squeeze the fuel line to starve it for fuel.
I started it with the button on the generator and it kicked right off, ran fine without producing power, but I had to use the C-clamp to stop it.
I started it with the remote button and it kicked right off, ran fine without producing power, but I had to use the C-clamp to stop it.
It is not giving any error codes.
I bought the RV new on 9/26/07 so some parts are still under the 3 year warranty, but on other parts the 2 year warranty has expired.
Ideas?
Thanks

RE: The "non-essential must-have" items - What's on your list?
Saw this information on another forum but thought it a VERY GOOD idea!
RE: Checking the Polarity of a CG Power Pedestal.
I use the Progressive Industries 30 amp EMS, but still check with this before plugging in. Anything can fail. http://bellsouthpwp2.net/l/i/liles753677/Front.jpg http://bellsouthpwp2.net/l/i/liles753677/Back.jpg

RE: dead outlets
We are getting ready for our road trip. We went to plug the vacuum in and the outlets are dead. Why?????
We tried while plugged into shore power and while the generator was running. AC works on both. (AC only works on 120) Lights are brighter while plugged in. DH used his handy dandy multimeter. Power is coming in and going out on the circuit breakers.
so.... why are the 3 120 power outlets not working? What else are we missing?
I take this to mean that while you are plugged into shore power or the generator is running the AC outlets work just fine. Unless you are plugged into shore power or the generator is running, the only way you can possibly get 120v power to the AC outlets is to have them on an inverter. Very few RV's have the outlets on an inverter. My guess is the outlets are dead because they have no shore power, no generator, and no inverter. They are dead because they are supposed to be dead.

RE: gray tank
You are going to have to do some looking. When you pull the handle to open the drain, does the drain actually open? The handle may have come loose from the drain.
If the drain DOES open, does ANYTHING come out? If the drain is open and NOTHING comes out, the pipe must be plugged and a plumber's snake may help.
If it trickles, the above post about the vent can be valid. Another cause of trickle is a partial block of the drain pipe and the plumber's snake may help.
More information about the precise symptoms will help us narrow down the problem.

RE: Question About Winter Use of RV
I have winterized. We are taking the MH out in about a week, so I will un-winterize, then winterize again when we get back. The RV club is having a camp out 2 weeks after that so I will un-winterize, then winterize again when we get back. In December, we are taking a Christmas trip so I will un-winterize, then winterize again when we get back.
It only takes about $4.00 worth of RV antifreeze and 30 minutes to winterize and it is worth it for my peace of mind.

RE: Generator/Microwave/
If you start your generator, you have obviously decided you want generator power. Therefore, the generator seizes control of the ATS and the power to the rig is generator power.
That keeps you from having to run outside and unplugging if you fear a power problem from the shore line, like during a thunderstorm or a brown out. Just crank up the generator and you are good to go. When the emergency is over, turn off the generator and shore power takes over again.

RE: Hold off on that GPS purchase...
I have had "Sprint Navigation" on my cell phone for a year. It is a VERY good GPS, but not good enough to replace my Garmin. It is WONDERFUL as an emergency tool though.

RE: Need help with rear view camera
If the monitor is connected to the camera by RCA plugs, carry a small TV with RCA jacks out and plug the camera in to that. If you still have a white screen, you probably have a bad camera or wire. If you have a good picture you have a bad monitor.

DW says be sure to take the Nash Trash Tour. It was one of the highlights of our visit. However, be forewarned that it IS R rated so don't go if you are trailing children along.
