RE: Is it better to be hooked to short power in storage? or not?
I like mine connected, while in storage, mainly to keep batteries up; though I have managed a couple months of non-use by disconnecting batteries.

RE: Pigeon Forge to North Carolina
We chose I40 a couple years ago for that route. Considered 441 but did not do it for the reason of twisty roads. We may do it at some point.
I40 is no "piece od cake" driving. Lots of grades and curves.

RE: Full Time Motorhome
Like said. Find/know the floorplan you like and can live in. There are lots of Gassers with W/D hookups.
We have 201`4 Tiffan 36LA that suits us very well and has a vented Splendide W/D combo. It works great for us. We Camphost in the south, winters and travel the US summers.
It took us almost a year to find the floor plan we knew we wanted at the right price. They are out there.

RE: Dewinterizing Today
Will be "dewinterizing" in about two weeks. First time for this rig was about 2 weeks ago when we got back from SC. That's not going to happen again!

RE: Anyone awitch to new Visible Plans?
We did, in November. Got the $30 plan. So far, it's been good. Sitting in our RV the phone I have the Visible service on is dedicated to hotspot use. It generally outperforms my Verizon 5G phone (when the 5G phone actully finds a 5G signal).

RE: Relationship between jacks and slides?
Is the fluid for the slides just recirculating then? Why isn't the level in the reservoir affected when I run the slides in and out like it is with the jacks?
Likely, the level varies with jack deployment because they are pressure out (oil pumped into the jack cylinder), lowering oil in the reservoir; and spring return, raising the oil level. Slides are double-acting cylinders - (oil s pumped into one end to deploy, while the oil is pushed from the other end of that cylinder; opposit for retract. Thus the oil level does not change for the slides.
Slide Cylinders are like this

RE: Slides out or autolevelers down first?
Common sense (regardless of what the coach builder says) dictates being level before deploying slide(s). That's all there is to it! Slide mechanisms are not designed to operate when out of level. Read the slide out manual, or call the slide manufacturer.

What does the owner's manual have about it? Just don't base your decision on what a salesman might tell you.

RE: How does 50 amp work?
Decent explainations - additionally, this 50A service of 2 110V, 50A legs only works if the two legs are on different phases of the circuit from the supply.

RE: Heat pump blowing cold air
I have a 2019 Winnebago Forza 34T. Last night the heat pump started blowing cold air (All settings are correct). The gas furnace works, but we're flying home for the next ten days and Xmas eve forcast calls for a low of mid 20's. Any suggestions?
Run the gas furnace, or winterize the unit. What was the outside temp?
My Coleman 48004969 heatpump does very well down to 35-36 deg. F.

RE: Splendide dryer solution?
Have you been doing the clorox cleaning cycle? Ours had a marked drying time increase, ran the clorox cleaning and it came to drying life. Must do something to the accumulated lint stuck in the inards.
