    Question Turn on front water spigot

    On a DS where is the valve to turn on front water spigot by generator?

    Deploying jacks w/out dumping air bags (not related to slide operation)

    As I ponder this thought of full bags and over extending the jacks, it may be the inflated air bags are pushing the axles down past limits and breaking things. Hummm…

    Deploying jacks w/out dumping air bags (not related to slide operation)

    Note blocks under the jack pad, but wheels are off the ground, jacks only. I guess a question would be are the bags full or empty.

    That said, I have seen the techs at Newmar lift all tires off ground with only the jacks, supported with jack stands for safety.

    Honestly the jacks on the DS are more stabilizing jacks than leveling jacks. Any noticeable pitch will cause the jacks to hit limits and not level RV.

    Interested to hear more from mfg on this topic. The leveling jacks on the DS dump air when activated. This makes perfect sense to me. Have the coach on the stops allows the leveling system to use its full range to level coach.

    The DS fits the site well. It is shaded, level and has full hookups. The campground is certainly acceptable. We are visiting friends tomorrow as well as some get some business completed.

    Drone Pilots?

    Just renewed my drone certification the other day. The training and exam finished in an afternoon at a leisurely pace. This was the first test that I found to be instructive and confidence building, rather than some word trick filled PIA.

    Drone Pilots?

    Interested on how you avoid obstacles using the Goggles. Thinking about purchasing a FPV drone of some sort. Ideally with Starlight or Infrared camera to search for animals at night. My worry is driving into an obstacle. The Autel lineup are nice but no FPV features. EVO Max 4T

    Suggestion Inspect double magnetic latches on newer coaches

    Sounds like a problem covered by warranty.
