  1. Are you familiar with this one Bill? https://texasstaterailroad.net/

  3. A friend of mine took this yesterday as the train went through Magnolia on it way to College Station. Gig'em Aggies. Brett, we could feel the earth shake as it went by and the goose bumps were awesome.
  4. I recently made a comment about Camping World being heading towards bankruptcy and it was aggressively refuted as only rumors , well their 3rd qtr results were announced after the market closed today and it doesn't look very good. Revenue up 6% and gross profit decreased 9.3%. CWH is burning through cash quickly.
  5. The YouTube videos just don't do justice to the sheer size and weight of this engineering marvel. If you have the opportunity to see the Big Boy locomotive in person, don't miss it!
  6. It depends on the estimated time and if any painting will be needed.
  7. I don't consider June, 2019, that old. Their financials for CWH report -$0.34EPS 4th Qtr 18, -$0.74EPS 1st Qtr 19, $0.45EPS 2nd Qtr 19, 3rd Qtr results haven't been announced.
  8. You guys must know things Moody's doesn't. https://sgbonline.com/moodys-confirms-camping-worlds-debt-ratings-outlook-negative/ or https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bmo-downgrades-camping-world-were-182025919.html or https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/06/12/wall-street-betting-big-against-camping-world-hold.aspx Seems there are several spreading this rumor.
  9. For those of you using Good Sam for roadside assistance and/or for extended service plans, its being reported that Camping World could be close to filing for bankruptcy protection within the next 12 months.
  10. The NFL will never forget the Heidi episode.
  11. The Aggies will beat LSU this Thanksgiving. Gig'em Aggies.
  12. Click on your user name in the top right corner. Click on account settings. On the left hand side click on Signature. You can edit but make sure you click on save. Hope this helps.
  13. I'm going back to my previous comments. Your coach is doing exactly what mine was each time the clutch failed. I am going to suggest calling the Freightliner Service Center in Gaffney, not the 1-800 help number, around 8:30 one morning. 864-206-8683. Hopefully it won't go direct to voicemail. Since Pat is no longer there, because she would know, briefly and not to techy explain to the new lady your problem and ask if you can ask Dave for his diagnosis. He is the shop foreman and is usually at her desk going over the daily work orders at this time.
  14. I'm with Carl. This post is so vague its only purpose is to take up space. No coach information, no location information, no dealer information and you want me to pm you so you can tell me? You may or may not have some valuable information on re-aligning a slide but its useless at this time.
  15. As already noted, some people think the park is being "snooty" but I appreciate when park owners use this to protect their investment and personally I would prefer to not park next to any rv that has not been taken care of. Same goes for the neighborhood I live in. I'm glad we have restrictions in place to protect my investment.
  16. I don't understand why you're jumping thru hoops for a card you have to prepay just to obtain a few cents per gallon savings plus has very limited number of stations in its program. Too bad FMCA didn't partner with TSD Logistics.
  17. Same thing you're experiencing, temperature fluctuations of 15-20 ℉ towing on level surface. First repair under warranty by the Bryan/College Station Freightliner. They used the wrong grade bolts doing the repair and by the Grace of God I was within 18 miles of the Gaffney Service Center when they sheared and the fan became wedged in the shroud. Freightliner towed me to the repair center in Gaffney and replaced. I was back there for my annual service several miles and years later when they had to replace it again. Freightliner installs the clutch, not Cummins I believe. 2008 Fleetwood Bounder 350 ISB. Check with the Freightliner 24/7 help desk and see if your year still uses the same clutch.
  18. Determine from Cummins or Freightliner if you have the Horton fan Clutch. If so, this component is problematic. I replaced the Horton Clutch on my previous motorhome with a 350 HP ISB twice in 60,000 miles. First time was first year of ownership with less than 15,000 miles and again at 40,000 and was showing signs of same problem when I sold it at 60,000 miles.
  19. I agree with what Richard has stated. I've been using the ACH transfer method to pay bills for almost 20 years and I guess I've been lucky because it seems so many have been scammed some way or another. I feel its safer than writing a check and handing that to someone. That check has my name, address, account number and routing number that can easily be used in nefarious ways. The ACH method is all done computer to computer and granted the systems can be hacked but my check can be much more easily hacked, copied, stolen, etc. I know and understand that many don't feel comfortable with this method but it works for me.
  20. You mentioned you turned the power off at the pedestal; I also recommend turning the automatic generator start off if equipped and confirm the inverter is turned off.
  21. I sure hope Mike eventually chimes in. He could educate us or at least me quickly.
  22. I find it hard to believe we had an abundance of diesel 2 years ago, Joe. We export so much diesel that its difficult for the refiners to keep up with the demand. If tanker trucks were lined up for weeks to deliver, the question is why? The demand certainly has done nothing but increase in the last ten years and with essentially no new refineries added.
