Has anyone stayed at the Two Rivers Campground in Nashville.  My sister and her husband lives in Nashville and plan to visit them in the next few months and would like to know if this park can handle our Newells.

Looking into a water purification 'system'. Probably a R/O w/UV treatment following. Primarily interested in drinking water & for the ice maker.

Has anyone done this as a add-on to a existing Coach, or have any knowledge in this area?

Hey all; I thought it might be fun to practice our troubleshooting skills. I'm going to list the symptoms of a problem with my 39ft 1993 coach. I will progressively add to the symptoms as the discussion carries on. Currently the problem is solved but I thought we could have some fun and exercise our knowledge of the system.

Following removal from storage the following symptoms appeared:
   - From "dumped" position the left rear would raise slowly and very little rise when the "raise rear" button was pushed. The right rear would rise just fine.
   - From the "dumped" position when the "travel" mode was initiated both sides of the rear rose together.
   - When the "dump" button was pushed, both sides of the rear dropped at about the same speed.
   - The resistance across the left rear raise solenoid coil was the same as the right rear raise coil.
   - When the "raise rear" button was pushed the voltage on the input of the left rear raise coil was the same as the right rear raise coil.
   - Both rear raise coils showed zero ohms to ground - that is the ground wire appeared to be grounded.
   - When the raise solenoid was actuated it was heard to click and magnetism was detected on the center post.

So, what do you think might be causing my left rear airbags to fail to raise that side of the coach and what would you do next? have fun.

After using a stacker for the last year there are several things I have been pondering. The most interesting part is all of the trailers seem to have both or all 3 axles right next to each other. While I understand this would reduce tire wear. It makes it difficult to exit the car once it's in the trailer because of the wheel wells.  

What would happen if you built a trailer  with one axle in front and one at the rear and in essence "suspended" the load between them.  I know reduced tongue weight to almost zero. And you would have the whole inside of the trailer free of tire wells except the back and front 2 1/2 feet. Would make top to bottom doors a possibility  for ease of getting in and out of the trailer when loading.. 

I know there may be a tire scrub issue on the front tires but what if you gave them a little turning ability kind of like a steer tag. Or the front wheels on a tow vehicle. Then have a way to lock them in place when backing up.. Please I know I must be missing something..
