How do you keep a caravan camper damp free?

If it is possible to store it near where there is electrical service, place a 75>100 Watt light bulb inside the vehicle and leave it lit (AWAY FROM ANYTHING FLAMMABLE OR THAT CAN MELT) during the worst periods of moist weather, and open the camper and air it out as much as possible.

If this option is not available, there is aproduct sold (in the US, anyway) by the tradename of 'Damp-Rid' which absorbs moisture from the air, but must be emptied and replaced every so often.

Can a Ford Escape 4x4 be towed behind a motorhome?

Can you tow a truck behind your motor home if the truck has a boat on trailer hooked to it?

I don't think this would be either safe or legal to do. I would strongly recommend against it.

====================

In most jurisdictions, towing two trailers is illegal. Some exceptions are made for the Big Rigs.

While I am not an expert in the law in every state,, I do know that you can tow more then one vehicle behind another, as long as you have the "doubles and triples" endorsement on your licence, but remember, to do this, always keep the heaviest vehicle in front of the other, and it would be best not to look in your mirrors, because the way they whip back and forth, will scare the hell out of you..LOL, spoken from personal experience, because I drive the big rigs..

Can you tow a 2007 Honda Pilot 4wd behind a motor home?

Anyone wanting to find out about vehicles that are towable should check out the DINGHY GUIDE in the Motorhome Magazine.

I found an answer from a Honda Tech about a 2008 Pilot that said it could be towed but needed a transmission fluid recriculation kit. A 2007 and 2008 are the same so I would assume that they both would need the transmission fluid recirculation kit. They run about $1000 from what I have found. Okay. I would not tow this vehicle 4 wheels down the way that it is. You can cause serious damage to the transmission. You need to either install a transmission fluid pump or a drive line disconnect kit to keep the trans from turning while the vehicle is being towed.

You have a 1984 motorhome on an E350 Ford chassis. The steering box needs adjustment but you am not sure how far to turn in the adjustment screw or if there is a special procedure to do this. Thanks?

Back-off the lock-nut, turn the bolt in (clockwise) about 1/4 turn, then tighten the lock nut again. Test the steering. Repeat if necessary. If overtightening results in hard steering (even slightly) then back-off the screw a little.

How speakers work?

  1. Power Source
  2. Speakers do not have a dedicated power source of their own. They draw their power from whatever it is that they are connected to - be it a CD player or more complex stereo receiver. Any one of these pieces of equipment should be able to provide enough power for the speakers to be able to be used to their full potential. If they don't work well together on their own, an amplifier can be purchased and connected to the system to make up any power that may be needed. Sound Information
  3. Without a way to process sound information, speakers would have no function. This is why speakers are always either built into or connected to something else like a compact disc player or a stereo system. These pieces of equipment process and convert any sound information they receive (from things like the radio, CDs, DVDs) into an electrical signal. This signal is what is sent either via a wireless connection or through dedicated wires to any speakers attached to the system. Playing Sound
  4. The electrical signal is then used and outputted by the speakers. What we know as "music" and "audio" is very simply the speakers playing a frequency of noise that is constantly changing. Our brains can process this information for what it is (voices, music), but it really is nothing more than noise. Settings like overall volume, base (lower frequency information) and treble (higher frequency information) can be adjusted on whatever device is sending the sound information to the speakers.
