best satellite system for northern Canada Alaska
bthomforde replied to weeksea's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
We went to Alaska last summer, we have a Travl'r and Dish. We got one satellite, 119, everyplace we were unless trees or mountains were in the way. People in our group with with Directv lost all signal in lower Canada. I switched our locals to Anchorage -
Heading To Alaska This Summer
bthomforde replied to lionhouse75's question in Destinations/Attractions
We went to Alaska with Fantasy last summer, they will give you a Mile post book and full list of campgrounds when you meetup to start the trip. The info includes campground name, address, phone and latitude and longitude. It will also include fuel stops along the way and other things like scenic pull outs, etc. The wagon master and tail gunner will both call and talk over what to expect and try to answer questions. For us this was a trip of a lifetime, we made lifelong friends. -
I have them on our 2012 Allegro Bus, the previous owner had them installed. I don't have any tools to remove them, I recently had new tires installed and the dealer didn't have any special tools but was able to remove and reinstall the Tyrons without any problem. Not sure about roadside service but I don't see an issue.

Anyone know of an Aqua Hot tech in the Las Vegas or Pahrump area? Thanks Brian

I have had a Vantage Vue for 6 or 7 years, I like it and think it accurate. I use a flag pole mount from Flagpolebuddy.com on the ladder and bought a cheap 4' TV mast at Lowes.

Does anyone know if we can have mail sent to the INTO rally in Tallahassee? If so what address should we use? Thanks Brian

I renewed with CoachNet.

Our Coach Net is up for renewal, I see FMCA recommends FMCA's Road Assist, are both services equal? I've used Coach Net for a tow and a couple jump starts. All have been great, but the FMCA's Road Assist is less money and if equal I'll try it. Thanks Brian

Are you saying the 7720 couldn't find Myrtle Beach, SC? I have a 7720 works great, I just plugged in Myrtle Beach SC and it found it just fine.

Larry, I got fuel at the Jackson, GA Flying J on 3/22/15, it took about 30 minutes to put 97 gallons in, I "should" have stopped pumping but I was already there and never had issues with Flying J fuel, but after that I had to change fuel filters once so far and maybe more, we'll see. I dumped the filters out in a pan but no sign of water ( I didn't cut it open to see about algae). Is that where/when you got fuel?

IMHO, Powerglide makes a great chassis and Cummins is a great choice. disclaimer, I have both :-)

Anyone Using "Car In Tow" Sign On Toad?
bthomforde replied to Bluebirds's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
Been towing a towed behind an RV for over 20 year and full timing for over 6 years and have never used or felt the need for such a sign. -
If you are an ELK member there's a nice Elks Lodge with a few sites in St Augustine.

Advice Wanted: Looking At 2004 Travel Supreme For Fulltiming
bthomforde replied to pamkay0707's topic in Buying an RV
We have a 2008 Travel Supreme and love it. TS made a quality coach. Like others have said if it's been maintained it should last for years. -
I would be concerned about resale value. Also parts and service aren't as redally available as a Cummins or Cat, you can get Cummins service at Freightliner, Peterbuilt, Kenworth, i think even a Mack deal will have parts and service for Cummins.

We are scheduled to arrive in Gillette on Tuesday the 18th, does anyone know if we got there on Monday the 17th could we just pay for the extra night and park?

I don’t have an engine that requires DEF but I do have an ISL 400 in a 2008 Travel Supreme. With the talk about the costs of DEF I thought I’d share my experience. Last August the particulate filter plugged and the engine went into “tow” mode, had it towed 90 miles to a Cummins shop where they replaced the particulate filter, since warranty doesn’t cover filters it cost $2775 to fix, not including the tow (glad we have CoachNet). This was at 82,350 miles on it. So if you look at the cost of DEF over 82,000 miles compared to replacing the particulate filter DEF doesn’t seem too bad per mile. I wish we didn’t have to worry about either. I’m not saying one is better than the other just $$ per $$ DEF doesn’t seem so bad.

To Monitor or Not To Monitor: Tire Pressure Systems
bthomforde replied to andyshane's topic in Buying an RV
We had a blow out on the toad and lost the tire, valve stem and sensor. I called Lawrence Electronics to buy a new one and he said not to worry that I had enough to pay for buying a new tire and valve stem that he'd send me a new sensor for free. I agree Lawrence Electronics has the best customer service. Brian- 6 replies

After having the recalls done and it still isn't cold the only problem I have now is it won't fit out the door to replace it with a residential fidge so we have to take the drivers side window out but it will be worth it when the Norcold piece of c**p is gone.
