Availability of ULSD fuel in Canada
We have an '07 engine which requires this type of fuel. Our last trip to Canada was back in '05 when we had an '03 LSD-required diesel. I presume they have ULSD everywhere just like the States. Thanks. jim

RE: Fayetteville, NC to Monterey CA I20 or I40?
I'm with Lonny when it comes to watching the weather--especially Amarillo and beyond until you get to CA. I-40 thru OK City is a 'war zone' (have everything tied down!). Have a safe trip. Jim

RE: Slideout motor bolt stripped
I appreciate your answers. Printed them out for my tech who I will be seeing today for this and other maintenance. j
A QUALIFIED Tech should know this already. On reread, you say the MOTOR bolts are not tight? The 4 bolts that secure the motor to the mount frame??? I thought you meant the square driveshaft bolts which have the smooth shank. The motor mount bolts just thread into the motor and if they will not tighten you replace the motor or attempt to tap out the stripped threads on the motor case. Doug
A new motor has been ordered. I don't like the $$ part, but I would like less getting stuck out in the boonies because we tried to 'patch' the problem. Thanks to all of you for your feedback.

Slideout motor bolt stripped
Yesterday I was tightening up the square-tube bolts along with the motor bolts---and found one of the motor bolts that just does not tighten. What's the fix? We have a '07 Phaeton-40QSH. The slideout is the front electric D/S. Thanks. Jim

RE: Yahoo Problems?
People need to realize these "does this website work for you" questions in general are pointless.
yahoo does not exist at only one server, there can potentially be hundreds, all pointing to the same url. Thus if the one server YOUR attempting to hit doesn't work in CA. a guy in FL may work fine, since he is hitting a completely different server, thus proving nothing. People in the same general area can also hit a different server depending on load balancing algorithms that some website use.
This is just an FYI. your solving nothing by asking this question.
Case in point, in PA, the following FOUR servers below resolve to Yahoo.com, they can/prolly are different somewhere else in the country
Name: yahoo.com
Addresses: 72.30.2.43
98.137.149.56
98.139.180.149
209.191.122.70
I see where you're coming from, but if you look at where there are problems, many different areas of the country--even Canada--are affected. In my opinion, Yahoo Mail IS having difficulties, and it's not just on his or my server.

RE: Yahoo Problems?
As of today (2/1) Yahoo Mail was absolutely CRAZY! I've had many problems with it before over a period of months---but today was, by far, the worst it has ever been. Tonite, however, it went well--so let's hope it stays that way.

cellphone/computer accessories source?
Today I broke a cellphone adapter cable connection plus in the next couple of months I'm going to want to get a new cellphone because our town is going 4G. I need a store/company who I can call and get electronic information from and then purchase what I need from them. I've used Brandolini Electronics in NH but not sure he's still in business. If you know of a source for this, please let me know their name/website and phone number. Thanks.

RE: Yahoo Mail problems
It's almost impossible to go back to Classic Mail. I have a paid yahoo mail account and I had to call in to make the switch back. There is no other way as far as I know. Unless they have bowed to demand and provided a link to click. I tried their new format 2 or 3 times. It's just not as good as Classic, to me.
A word of caution, export your contact list so you have a backup. Yahoo lost my wife's contact list and could not get it back.
I looked all over but could not find Classic. Guess now I know why.
I do try to print out my contacts periodically. Thanks.

RE: Yahoo Mail problems
I changed from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome and no more problems!
I wondered in the back of my mind if IE-9 might be the cause. My e-card provider said they could not provide service as long as I used IE-9 as a brouser.

RE: Yahoo Mail problems
A responder on another forum said he's had no problems since going back to the 'Classic' Yahoo Mail. Since posting, I've been editing my 'contacts'. Talk about an absolutely awful scroll bar! It took me 30 min. to do what I used to do in 5!

Yahoo Mail problems
Is it just me and my laptop, or has Yahoo gone south!? Everyday it's something else i.e. today I cannot 'reply'. Yesterday it would not 'delete' until I clicked on the Inbox, etc. I have the 'new' version which, in my opinion, has more problems than the version I had before, and I don't like it as well i.e. I have to double-click to open mail (my machine is set on single-click) sometimes--and sometimes I don't. And today my 'contact's list would not scroll! I could change to another mail system but would have to notify a thousand people/sites about an e-mail address change.
Am I the only one who has been having trouble? Thanks.

RE: Norcold problem: everything is frozen!
I
thermistor goes 3,4,5 fin appx. centered , if freezing anyway refer should show a code ? owners manual with give you access procedure. may be running in override mode ? if so would indicate power board not comunicating with thermistor or not properly interpreting the thermistor signal.
you mentioned that you had ice on fins ? if so either our new thermistor is no good or board isn't acting on it.
the outside possibillity is the thermistor harness is damaged.
possition of thermistor on fins is not as critical as norcold would have you think do not know the make of the thermistor that my local tech installed before we left. Norcold model 1210 IM. This is what my tech said:
(Sorry--I 'pasted' in his reply--and it came out all messed up!)

RE: Norcold problem: everything is frozen!
It looks to me as if the thermistor is on the 5th fin from the right and about 1/3 of the way down it. My wife defrosted the fins with the hair dryer. I then tried and failed to move the clamp/thermistor into another position on that fin.

Norcold problem: everything is frozen!
Just installed a new thermistor AND a power board. It stays about 32° or slightly below, so today the eggs and the cottage cheese were frozen! We'll be out here on the highway for another 2 months. I have an appointment with Metro RV in Burbank, CA Thursday. Any ideas of what the problem is? Thanks.

Cummins Power Club--worth it?
I've really never collected on anything by belonging. A couple of times I attempted using my CPC when I bought coolant, etc., but the salesperson in parts always said the item was already discounted. Kinda like throwing $19.95 away each year. I'd like to hear your comments. Thanks.
