Costco has a dual 120 outlet with 2 quick charge usb outlets built in. I replaced the outlet at the dining table with one. Phones charge in 1/4 time as the non-high powered plugin units.

2 front Air-rite bags, even after adjusting 5 lbs in the left and 50 in the right and resetting the adjustable sway bar to neutral at that pressure still not level. At this point, any more in the right side raises the left also. Thinking of new springs next.

Any chance to weigh to find if it is your springs or something else?

Installed 2 Air Rite bags a few weeks ago and finally had a chance to get em on the road. 800 miles later and I really like them. Noticed the sway in a dip was a lot less. Then we didn't bottom out when boarding the ferry (this was the first time for that). Then fueled up without bottoming out turning into the driveways. And lastly, did not bottom out or swing the dishes out of the cabinets when parking on our daughters lawn for Thanksgiving. Thinking about the fronts now.

We arrived at La Posa South LTVA near Quartzsite a week ago and have been busy making things more comfortable and more fun for our 4 months here.

I've added materials to make a windbreak, an upgraded TV antenna, a cell booster, an awning tie-down, a trolley line for Lily (dog) a dump barrel and sewage pump, an additional 100 watt solar panel and lots of little stuff. This is our second winter here and I'm much better prepared to call this our winter home.

A new drivers window for the Alpine. I promptly returned it to Herh Windows and am reassessing whether or not to try again or have Motion Windows build us one. Here is a picture of the seam of the new Herh window.

A bath at a truck wash. It was filthy after the trip from Atlanta to Denver.

Perhaps if Herh refunds the price you paid for that (I can’t say that here) and gives you a new window at no cost. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother with them. I bet I could do a better job than that and the only thing I know about windows is how to open them. It looks like they used pre chewed gum on that seam.

Chewing gum??

Well used chewing gum at that! I'm always amazed that a business, any repair replace shop would allow this shoddy crap to go out the door! However, people more than amaze my senses daily

I ordered a new inverter/charger for my RV. The original unit is almost thirty four years old, and is out dated to say the least and does not properly charge or maintain
the house battery.
