Hello All,

I seem to have fixed the issue, or just masked it, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this.

I got a much better test of it this weekend while we camped. It does help quite a bit (IMHO), but i found that it possibly reveals the 'sway' in other areas. But I think with likely no more labor...

Not adding, but upgrading a/c?

Hi. We're camping in nearly 90 degree weather, and as I suspected the single, 13,500 btu unit that came with our cougar 326rds is struggling to keep up.

Generic remote start for yahama 3000ise?

Hello,

I keep hoping I'll find a remote start for a yamaha 3000ise generator that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. They are about $380 - $400, which I think it fairly ridiculous.

Does anyone...

I haven't heard of anyone who removed an airbag system to go to timbren/sumos. If your budget and installation capabilities support it, consensus seems to be that's the way to go.
