RE: Air Dam
Everything I've ever read on those is they don't save you really any money, you'll never recoup your cost of the air dam in gas savings. However, they do keep the bugs off the front of the RV.

RE: iPhone battery life - is it just me?
How To Extend Battery Life on the iPhone
1. Turn off 3G. Yeah, it might suck but it will save battery.
2. Disable the GPS when not in use.
3. Change how often the phone checks for new messages
4. Remove some of the email accounts if you have multiple accounts set up. The more accounts it has to check, the more busy the phone will be.
5. Pull, don’t push your data. You don’t need to use push email. You can choose to manually download it.
6. Turn off wifi when not in use.
7. Turn off Bluetooth if you’re not using it.
8. Use Airplane Mode, which is designed to keep the phone from search for cell networks when it can’t find any. Phones often drain down fast when sitting in low service areas because they are constantly looking for a network to connect to.
9. Lower the screen brightness
10. Turn off the sounds that are made when you press on the iPhone keyboard. This can be done in the Sounds pane of settings.
I charge mine once a day at home, I have a charger in the car and at work in case of heavy use.

RE: looking for owners manual fleetwood gearbox
You could go to the Fleetwood internet site. There is a section there where you can e-mail them. I purchased my 2003 Jamboree in 2006. It did not have the manual. After contacting them through the site, they sent me the 2003 manual NO CHARGE at that time, although the site stated there was normally a cost for a manual.
Worth a try, but since Fleetwood killed its entire trailer line the new improved Fleetwood may not have any of the old Gearbox materials.
The reality is that most trailers have very few manuals, mostly they include the manuals from all the products installed like the water heater, furnace, etc. You can usually download those manuals from their respective websites.

RE: NEED HELP PLEASE !!!
We have two Honda Recon's in order to get them to shift you must press the reverse safety button and the pull back on the left brake, assuming your unit is the same I think I'd be pulling the switch mechanism and cleaning and/or replacing.
FYI: Welcome to RV.net. You may wish to avoid typing in all upper case in the future, its considering a form of shouting and most find it very difficult to read all upper case text.

RE: Vista file search.. arg
We have one machine at work with Vista and I've tried to use the search on it, that was when I installed the Google Desktop search for that machine. Some times software advances are actually retreats.

Good for you picking it up, I keep one of those 3' trash grabbers in my ATV and play Garbage Polo when we're out riding.

RE: Question on outside speakers?
Even then, I found the stereo less annoying than the generators many RVers use.
Well you know the Toy Hauler crowd philosophy, If you can hear the generator the stereo isn't loud enough!

A Woot Shirt for the ATV Community
A few years ago I got introduced to the fine website known as Woot.com and we've been shopping there for years, my oldest son sports many of the great Woot!Shirts to school and gets some great comments. Well tonight's Woot shirt is right up our ally, I think it's about time for an Extreme National Park. Bear on the ATV - Check, and that Explosion sure looks like one of Dave's Sobe Bombs taking out the park.

RE: Question on outside speakers?
Ivylog, I don't think anybody is saying don't participate - heck I don't own a Toy Hauler anymore and I still participate here. What's being suggested is that unless you are going to participate in the on topic discussion, then don't bother to, that's all. This topic started off as questions as to help on replacing outside speakers, not complaining about outside speakers. I wish I could say this was the only time, however I think every time any Toy Hauler owner asks about speakers we get those that just wish to be critical, thus the blue hair name calling.

RE: FireFox most vunerable browser
Until other browsers offer me the ability to use things like NoScrip, AdBlock and FlashBlock I won't be switching. Adding NoScript alone makes all the difference in securing the browser, I wish FF would implement the feature as standard.

RE: KZ Coyote Rock Climber CRC 222
Fleetwood also made the Scorpion, if you do a search you'll find an owner that had one. A concern for these is the tongue weight.

RE: uneven tread wear, Sure Trac E tires
Give the folks at Henderson Line-Up a call they mostly work on motorhomes but I bet they can give you good local advice. They are very well respected around the US and they are in your home town.
