  1. 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.


  2. 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. 


  3. Just returned from a week trip to Myrtle Beach, with all of the updates it could not locate Myrtle Beach SC, good thing I mapped my path directly to the campground from home prior to leaving.

    Very sad, pathetic to put it nicely! It will be retired at this point and something else will be sought out.

    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.


  4. 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?


  5. 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.
