It is times like that, that we are happy not to have all the bells and whistles on Sherman. It seems the more electricial stuff your have the more likely there are to be problems. I remember we had a really hard time with our furnance our first year out when we crossed Canada in late October and November and twice we blew a fuse on the furnance. First time we paid to have it fixed and Kevin watched as the guy did it. Second time he was able to do it himself. Found out what caused the problem and made sure that we didn't do that agian.<br /><br />Kevin, Ruth and WhiskeyKevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-7835960073224661662011-08-05T13:36:21.718-04:002011-08-05T13:36:21.718-04:00Fuses are a constant source of problem.

We use our generator all the time but only for 10 minutes or so at a time if cooking or to heat up the RV on cold AM's and to use the A/C when stopping for lunch on the road in the RV. Too hot to cook otherwise.Contessahttp://www.contessajewall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-23917567707384332962011-08-05T09:47:57.243-04:002011-08-05T09:47:57.243-04:00George and Suzie...A lot of the time these things ...George and Suzie...A lot of the time these things just need a bit of research to fix the problem.<br /><br />Donna...Sherman is an older model so he still has a stove. I don't think we would buy a unit without a stove as we do too much boondocking.<br /><br />Jim and Sandie...We are so happy that it was a cheap fix but not really quick as he has tried to fix it 2 or 3 times before with no success.<br /><br />Chuck and Anneke...So are we, thanks!<br /><br />Sue and Doug...Kevin had spent a lot of time trying to find the proper manual online for the generator but without any success. He was finally able to find it the other day and that was all he needed. We are just happy to have it fixed without being out of pocket.<br /><br />Bob...Yep, that is exactly how we do our cooking. I just have to remember to take things out of the freezer in the morning to thaw in time to make our dinner. We try not to have leftovers either. Kevin says the microwave and TV are so old that they are really only good for boat anchors, even though they both work perfectly fine.<br /><br />Rick and Elaine...That's the problem with the newer motorhomes, they all come with microwave/convection ovens. That just wouldn't work for us. Hope you have good weather for your trip to Cape Breton. Enjoy yourselves!<br /><br />Trkdrivinfool...I think Kevin has placed it somewhere safe that we wouldn't lose it, I guess time will tell. Kevin also likes to solve these problems himself, thanks.<br /><br />where's weaver...Refrigerator is done, now it's the oven. Those are the plans, but plans are never concrete.<br /><br />Kevin, Ruth and WhiskeyKevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-19831417885414919842011-08-05T07:21:25.363-04:002011-08-05T07:21:25.363-04:00Good job!

And yes, I know some folks use them, but for the ten years we had our motorhome, I can't think of using it even once. Used the oven, cook top, and grill. (outside of course)<br />We've been living in Vienna for almost two years without one. Took a bit of getting used to, but completely do-able. Reheating food can be a challenge, unless of course you just don't have left overs. I try not to have left overs. Simply really.<br />Unless it's some sort of fancy convection thing, and you always have access to 110, it's mostly just extra weight and unused storage. <br />Between it and the crt TV, you almost have enough extra CCC for a small pony. <br />Go for it!<br />:)Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-48179741807000509342011-08-04T10:49:49.016-04:002011-08-04T10:49:49.016-04:00what a great and cheap quick fix..just think if yo...what a great and cheap quick fix..just think if you would have looked into it earlier!?Sue and Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436889944386917688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-90389154558297184622011-08-04T10:38:35.697-04:002011-08-04T10:38:35.697-04:00Heading to a DMV office is always an annoying proc...Heading to a DMV office is always an annoying process.
