Google CHF (Cheap Handling Fix) and get a steering stabilizer. Check your tire air pressure and front end alignment.


2. While intimate, I have to ask: Are these relatively frequent toilet clogs normal? I understand there is 30 inches of radiused 45° PVC involved, but we’ve had a few “no drain moments” that were unsettling. The auger is our friend, but is this regular? (Pardon the pun)
This is a common problem when the toilet is on the curb side of the RV. As others have said - use lotsa water.

3. Climate control enroute: What is the lesser sin? Running the generator simply so these first world kids can have cool air or run the chassis climate control and make everyone suffer? MPG or generator hours?
Many people use the generator and house A/C to keep the box cool when traveling in the heat. One of the main uses for your generator. Use it and don't seat it (pun intended).

4. Our unit has a big single left side slide out. I really don’t wanna make it angry. I can appreciate over application of lubricant will actually draw in debris so can anyone smarter than me (and that’s easy) advise the service protocol for the slides?
I use the previously recommended by Lippert lubricants on my big wall slide. I also lubricate the rollers the slide sits on frequently which seems to help the most.

I have 13 more questions but maybe another episode as part of the series.

Thanks in advance for any counsel you offer.

Peace.

Many more answers available. You just need to sort through them when you ask.
