Standing here looking at my F53 motorhome for the third time this year needing wheel alignment and I'm absolutely done with tire shops saying they can't handle it. I recently had six new tires and Retrobands installed at NIRVC in Georgia, along with some suspension upgrades, and now I'm in the Gainesville, Florida area for the winter. My 12'-8" tall Class A seems to be too heavy for standard alignment equipment.

I'm trying to figure out what type of shops actually have the heavy-duty equipment needed for F53 chassis alignment. Are there specific places I should be looking for, or am I gonna have to drive all over creation to find someone who can do this? Any tips on what to ask when I call around so I don't waste time showing up somewhere that can't help me? …more

Noticed my Presto-Fit sewer hose replacement keeps disconnecting at the worst possible moments even though I installed it last week. After 20 blissful years with my trusty Presto-Fit sewer hose, it finally gave up the ghost. Of course, now that I need a replacement, they're nowhere to be found. It's like losing your favorite pair of underwear – you never realize how good you had it until it's gone!

I keep seeing names like Camco RhinoFLEX, Valterra Dominator, and Lippert Waste Master thrown around, but honestly, I'm drowning in options and contradictory reviews. Some people swear by thick-wall hoses, others talk about cam-lock vs bayonet fittings, and don't even get me started on the cold-weather flexibility debate.

What are the real top alternatives for us displaced Presto-Fit refugees? I need something reliable that won't leave me literally knee-deep in regret during my next dump station adventure! …more

Turned a mountain corner with my grandkids aboard and noticed my 2012 Tiffin 34 TGA's V10 TorqShift transmission running dangerously hot—should I be worried? After completing a 5,000-mile trip from Wyoming to Florida and hitting 100,000 miles on the odometer, I've noticed some unusual transmission temperature behavior.

With my ScanGauge, I've typically seen my transmission run around 175°F, but on this recent trip, it started fluctuating between 175°F and 190°F in a way it never has before. During idle stops, it would drop as low as 145°F. Despite these temperature variations, the transmission shifted perfectly normally.

I want to make sure I understand what's normal versus what should concern me. Are these temperature fluctuations something to be worried about, or are they within expected operating ranges? The RV performed well otherwise, and all systems seemed normal. …more

Left my 50-amp surge protector hanging on the pedestal through a week of thunderstorms and the housing is showing moisture inside the display. Debating between the TRC and Camco weatherproof covers but can't tell from the photos which one actually keeps rain out. Anyone used both? …more
