Recommendation for Wi-Fi
elkhartjim replied to sabredog's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
The last two years with have stayed a month in the boundary waters area of Minnesota with no cell service, television or internet, I must admit, it was pretty darn nice. No tv was the best part. -
Recommendation for Wi-Fi
elkhartjim replied to sabredog's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
If the park has no cell service, I don't think you can use your phone for a hot spot. No Park wifi, no cell service and no cable only leaves you with satellite for service. -
Carl, do you have an accordion file for all your plates?
-
I knew Putin was involved. I guess the OP got his answer so thank all of you for helping him.
-
Never mind, I held my mouth in a different position and it worked. Darn gremlins.

Hi Dan, thanks for the info but it doesn't seem the link works. Well....it doesn't work for me .

I gave a person a bag one day and her only comment was, "what's this for?". Nuff said.
-
I was only agreeing with him, I'd be upset too.
-
No problem, we all were new at one time. It's better to ask before than after a purchase. What else can we help you with?
-
I guess if I payed list price I would be ticked also. MHSRV has a 2018 Eagle listed, MSRP is $750,000+, discounted to $499,999.

Apparently Ross knows something with his comment probably need to check with FMCA to get supplier information. Kiley has been the supplier forever.

Did you read my post? There are only two manufacturers that are currently licensed to use the TRW patented Comfort Drive System, Newmar and Newell. AC is American Coach owned by the REV Group. I'm not familiar with their steering system.

2017 Vehicles Towable 4 Wheels Down
elkhartjim replied to Dsellman's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I can't believe it but you finally got caught. How did you manage to get away with it since Nov, 2016. -
It's amazing to me how many owners don't have a tool box with basic tools, Bill. They do have a credit card and apparently more money than I have, of course lots of people have more money than me. 🤑

When you ask a Newmar owner what do you like best about owning a Newmar product and the top two answers are usually its a quality product and the outstanding customer service from Newmar. I have the direct number to two brand specialists and the phone rolls over to one of their cell phones after hours and weekends.

My wife would not drive our previous motorhome but she will drive the Newmar with Comfort Steer. Funny thing too, the Newmar is almost 7ft longer than the least coach.

Any tire problems with 2007 Jeep Liberty Sport?
elkhartjim replied to tireman9's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I would think dragging a tire sideways would leave a significant trail of rubber. If they were at speed that would make me believe they had a LF blowout which in turn cased the steering wheel to turn to the left causing the tread damage to the right tire. Did they have a TPMS? -
At this time only two manufacturers use the TRW patented electronically aided steering system, Newmar and Newell. Foretravel does use a similar system. Just so you know, Comfort Drive is not a magical thing that you'll immediately feel once you climb behind the wheel. Typically, you realize what it does at the end of the day. On a 600 mile drive, you might feel like you only drove 400. The Comfort Drive automatically adjusts for wind push and road crown every few seconds as you drive. Often, you can be getting pushed by a 20 mph crosswind and never know it, unless you're watching the trees and bushes along the side of the road. It also has an adjustable knob that sets the wheel for a standard feel or steering with just a fingertip. This is really nice when backing into a campsite. When ever the wheel is released after a turn, it automatically returns to center whether you're moving or not.

I suggest driving both. I can tell you from my experience, it's the most comfortable driving I've ever experienced but you really need to experience it for your self, particularly on a windy day and make sure you notice when a truck passes.
-
Some do. Some don't. Some will. Some won't.

Carl, I want you to know that I for one appreciate you stimulating the economy. I encourage you to spend whatever amount necessary to protect your coach. There....feel better?😉

Another $$$$$$$$.$$.

I would be more inclined to have an ESP if I had the electronic items that more and more of the high end coaches use. I'm concerned there are so few techs equipped to work on this stuff that the diagnosis time is going to be exorbitant as we will be paying for their OTJT. Of course this poses another problem, will the ESP be willing to pay the diagnosis time, probably not, so then your left trying to find a qualified shop. Ugh!

We also added a 2" foam topper to our King size Sleep Number, 👍.

We're about 60 miles south of you and had rain with thunder and lightning but I never heard the wind. Since we need the rain so badly, I hope it continues all day. 🌨⛈🌦
