Of all the posters, it seems you're the only one that feels like you're a castaway. You stated we need a contingency plan when we feel like a castaway so my question to you is - what is your contingency plan?

Carl, did you see the new JL series will have Electronic Power Steering. We better hang on to our Wrangler.

Wayne was able to get a new motorhome when he did this.

So how do you attach cables or chains to a cube? BTW, what is a cube?

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailin' man, the Skipper brave and sure, five passengers set sail that day, for a three hour tour, a three hour tour. The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew the Minnow would be lost. The Minnow would be lost.

Bill, please don't hold me responsible for something I said almost four years ago.

Just make sure the hotel is AAA rated and you should be good to go.

Remember guys, we have all the necessities and comforts of home in our motorhomes. I guess if you don't have those comforts you could feel like a castaway.

No problem, now if you'll send me a message once a month to flip the switch there really won't be a problem.

I understand the new Jeep Wrangler JL will use EPS also, better hang on to your current Wrangler.

Thanks, Joe. Both Wayne and Five were told to cycle their AH every 4-6 weeks by their serving technician is why I'm asking this question. Now, you're saying it's not in your AH manual either. I agree with changing the filter annually but I'll have a heck of a time remembering to cycle the Oasis on a monthly basis. The engine heats the water when we're on the road so it's hot when we arrive at the cig. I turn the switch to active both heating elements and that's it. I've only turned the burner on once and that was to make sure it worked.

Reading the Newmar owners posts on iRV2, many of them are on 2-3 year maintenance schedules with their Oasis and I've not read any mention of exercising the unit monthly. Like I said earlier, there is no mention of monthly exercising the Oasis in their operators manual. How do those who have their unit in storage for 4-6 months handle that issue?

Has anyone had direct experience owning both an Oasis System and an Aqua Hot System? I'm curious to know the differences in the system, if any.

Kay doesn't have an odometer on his dash, no mention if he has a speedometer.

I quickly read through my Oasis manual and it doesn't say a thing about running it monthly, etc.

Is it bragging or rubbing our noses in it, Bill?

Richard, stop any Snap on tool truck and he'll sell you his inventory plus the truck.

Are you a professional mechanic? If not, I would look at other options. Snap-on tools are no doubt high quality and will last a lifetime using them daily, but that quality comes with a cost.

FYI, Joe, WD 40 is great for removing adhesive. I use it to remove the glue left from stickers and labels. Oh yeah, nice job.

Yep....they can help me book a hotel but I haven't stayed in one in over ten years. My coach has more square footage than some hotel and with a modern kitchen and large shower that has endless hot water. Like I posted earlier, can AAA refer me to any qualified towing company or mechanic to work on my Cummins engine or Freightliner chassis? My roadside service covers every vehicle I drive including yours if I was driving it.

That could be a problem for motorhome owners. I've never seen a Freightliner dealer that's a AAA member or a tow company capable of towing my motorhome.

The average rv'er will do 4-5000 miles per year. Remember, the average rv owner is not retired and with 4 weeks of vacation and weekends it's hard to put 10,000 miles per year on an rv. I average around 8,000.

You can get inside your motorhome from a storage compartment? Amazing.

I've carried wooden pads (12" x 14") for ten years, I took them out of my coach a few weeks ago because in all those years I've never needed to use them. When I overnight at a big box store I never use my jacks. Maybe I'll go dig them out in put them back in the coach. Dont try to convince me it's not hot on an asphalt parking lot when it's 100 degrees.

Good point, Brett. One of the reasons I don't go to FMCA and Good Sam rally's where parking is on parking lots. Hot!
