Dr. Chop and family binenfit Ride March 1st 2014 Slade KY

Gimpy - my furnace runs off the 12V system, 110 is for AC. Thought all campers were that way, I know all RVs are maybe campers are different.

Looks like I need to get camper ready

Gimpy if I bring my camper you can plug into me Ill run my generator.
I know he would had 110 up by his house but not in the camp ground.
He can only get so many campers up by the house I'll take and find out more info

I know the furnace runs off of 12 volt, but with a light or two and the blower running, it will run my battery down. Probably just come for the day. Not sure yet. Thanks guys.

Your furnace shouldn't run your battery down that fast gimpy. Your only talking 2-3 amps when its running. As long as you have a decent battery you should be good.

The dealer up in West Illinois gave me a new deep cycle marine battery. I just notice it has a heavy arc when putting the fittings on it and it seemed to drain some after I have the battery tender off for a few hours or so. Nothing on inside but the detectors.

I will be coming in Thurs afternoon/evening. I am really looking forward to this ride. Time for some trail therapy for a good cause.

Looks like I'm out, forgot that I had signed up to moonlight Sunday. Y'all have fun.

Planning on coming Saturday also. Should be a good time. Hope to see y'all their!

Looks like we will be there!


Gimpy sounds like you have some thing pulling power when off. Pull all your 12v fuses and install them one by one. Which ever one arcs thats where your problem is at. If its enough to acr the battery that should be the easiest way to trace it down. Course it depens on how much is on that one fuse, But alteast that will get you close.

This is on my list next.

Dodd - Is there plenty of parking for the utility trailers at the 4620 Fixer Rd. address or do we need to go somewhere else?

Theres plenty of parking. When you get to that address yo be 1/4 mile from his house. Just stay strait and you'll run right into it on the right.

I will be coming in late this afternoon / this evening.

Does anyone have a place for me to lay my head Saturday night? On site.....   

IN MY LAP !!!!!!!!!!!!    

Loaded and ready to roll with dmack in the morning. Anyone leaving our area, we are meeting at the 2nd Shelbyville exit off of I-64 at the Marathon and leaving there at 7:00 a.m.

Me and 8 ball will be leaving my house in the morning head that way
