Always remove the negative ground first and reconnect it last and you won't have that issue! Thanks for the tip that, after 66 years, I had just neglected to remember. I suppose everyone screws up but taking off rings, watches & using an insulated wrench is still a good idea when working around that much juice.

Thanks, Mike. Glad to hear that maps can be accessed without having to designate a destination. Now to find out if the maps show scale. Scale is essentially a ruler which shows distance on the map that correlates with distance on the ground. Thanks for the link. I will check it out. Bruce

Bruce, I don't believe it has a scale, at least I have not found it anywhere to be selected when viewing the map, with all the features this unit has it may be hiding somewhere and I have not found it.

In map view, it's usually in the upper right or lower left. I don't have the same model Garmin as Mike, but I've had three Garmins in the last 10...

Just an update - We have used this screen room extensively (including our current 3-night trip) and it is showing absolutely no signs of wear or tear. Still looks new & gets a perfect score from us. *If I had to find a fault it would be the collapsed length. If we need both back seats of the TV then we simply store it on the bed in the TT (we keep the storage/carrying bag clean & off of the ground so the bed stays clean).

So we bought a clam mag six pack screen tent; we've wanted one for a long time. It was delivered by FEDEX this past week while we were out of town, and we got our first look at it when we returned today. We were dismayed to see that it had been delivered with half the box packaging torn away. We were further dismayed when we tried to set it up, and found that one of the panels had clearly been assembled and sewn wrong so that it couldn't possibly open. I'm sure every manufacturing company...

Question - If the jerrycan is sitting on the ground is this siphon strong enough to transfer the water uphill into the trailer/camper? I currently have (15 years now) and use a drill-powered fresh water transfer pump. It transfers 6.5 gallons in seconds.

It will not siphon uphill. Like any siphon, it needs to be lower than liquid being siphoned. I used it with a 7 gal water container shown here when my back went out and I could not lift it. I use it all the time to empty a 55 gal drum of water into my cabin cistern in about 10 minutes. when I draw water out of the stream, I find a place that is at least level with the water and have no problems pulling it. I have also used it to siphon gasoline from my truck to a container for my lawn mower.
