Save

The Providence has Power Gear Electric jacks and worked perfectly for 5 years on the road. The left rear jack became intermittent during our trip to the Canadian Maritimes last year and finally quit completely November 2013 when retracting them at the end of our stay in Navarre, FL. Fortunately, the jack quit in a fully retracted position. This is long but important to learn about many issues from service quality to service options as well as Power Gear Electric Jacks on motorhomes.

Background

The Power Gear system consists of an automatic level controller, 4 all electric jacks with motor and brake. The controller senses the position of the jack full up or full down with a magnet embedded in the jack staff. This is to stop extension at its maximum and stop retraction when full up by applying a brake attached to the motor.

When a jack fails it is most likely (~98% of the time) caused by a bad brake, it gets corroded and finally just locks up. Why corrosion? Because the brake is mounted on the bottom of the motor and covered with a rubber boot. Mounted directly behind the rear wheels, it is subject to all kinds of dirt, debris and WATER when travelling in wet conditions. If the top of the boot is not sealed, it will leak water which eventually corrodes the metal parts in the brake and it locks up. The photo on the right shows the motor (yellow) and brake (black boot over the break at the bottom).

I recently replaced my Roadmaster Falcon 2 Towbar and ran across a product they introduced some time ago called FuseMaster. What is it you ask?

It replaces the fuse you must pull to tow with a switich. Here are the details: FuseMaster by Roadmaster.

We tow a Sturn Vue and the last procedure is to pull the Ignition Fuse from the passenger side fuse box. Now, no more pulling the fuse. We simply set the switch to "Tow" and we are done.

Easy to install and it works. Buy it on-line at American RV Company. Be sure to check the Fit List and this RoadMaster Technical Bulletin to deetermine model for your tow vehicle.

This is very inexpensive, easy to prepare and simply delicious!! We like to use drumsticks but any part of the chicken would be just as good. Here's the secret recipe (ok, not so secret):

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Ingredients

• 12 chicken drumsticks
• 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt

One of the easiest and wonderful dinners is broiled Salmon. I use Atantic Salmon because it is milder and plentiful. Suggestion for two people:

Ingredients:

• About 1 pound Atlantic Salmon cut into two pieces. Be sure both pieces are about the same thickness for consistency.
• Olive oil
• Any garlic based spice (I use SusieQ's from Sanata Maria).
• Old Bay Seasoning
