    Great write up, Tom.

    Sorry, I didn't read the post so I missed that statement. Thanks for turning them off when not in use.

    I see and hear about excessive idling not being good, can y'all be a little more specific, what is excessive idling? I usually let my ISL idle for 2-4 minutes when pulling in to a rest area or at the campground check in stop. In the mornings it will take up to 2 minutes to air up depending on the pressures in the tanks. I sometimes will idle longer when sitting in the fuel line at a truck stop. What say you, Joe?

    It looks nice if that's your thing but to me it's just more light pollution in the campground. I appreciate places like Big Bend National Park were I can still see the stars. I hope you enjoy your lights.

    How do you think I knew to ask about the valve? Been there too.
  6. elkhartjim
    I will assume you have water in the water tank. Is the valve turned to fresh water fill by chance? The pump will not prime if that's the case.

    If cold weather builds character, does it mean all the snowbirds who flock south at the first cold snap are lacking in character? I've met some pretty interesting characters from north of the Mason Dixon line and most had what appeared to me to have descent character.

    Do you hear any leaks?

    Let us know how it works out and don't be a stranger on the forum. Lots of experience and knowledge to be readily shared.

    I can't help in your specific area but check with some auto body shops or even some of the larger U Haul locations.

    Roland, I had a 2008 Bounder Diesel and most of our rattles were from cargo. Dishes, pots and pans and the metal shelf in the oven/microwave that would rattle like crazy if we forgot to remove it. Our new Newmar is much quieter but of course it only has about 3000 miles vs almost 70,000 on the Bounder.

    I find it funny, we've gone from would you rent your motorhome to bed bugs. Agree to disagree? I've been trying that tactic also, Herman.

    I suggest using ReJex instead of RanEX. Same amount of work but my in my experience ReJex does a better job and last much longer.

    I just Googled 24" wiper blade inserts and they can be bought on Amazon, EBay, Wally World just to name a few. Less tha $10 each.

    I can't think of one reason for me to rent my motorhome and I can easily think of dozens to not rent it. I won't let my super responsible kids borrow it either.

    Whirlpool most likely.

    I would also have engine and tranny oil/fluid analysis done. Condition of belts and hoses is something to check also. Caulking along roof seams and of course check if there is any prior water damage. Good luck in your search and keep us going informed.

    Freedom of choice is awesome. Let's please just agree to disagree.

    Great question, Joe. Since I've never experienced diesel turning to wax like n your photo, my dumb question is will it turn back to liquid when it warms. No laughing please, I'm just curious.

    Very interesting subject. I think we need someone experienced in refrigeration and thermodynamics. Where are you, Ken, TxIceman? Like Brett and Carl, I hope our winter is over.

    When the return on my investments during this time period are greater than the dollars payed out are it makes perfect sense.
  23. elkhartjim
    Great news, Eric.

    The next to last home we owned, it was a struggle for me to convince my wife it would be to our financial benefit to get a mortgage. I finally won that one and we basically lived free for several years because of the income our investments provided. My thought is if I can use someone else's money for large purchases while I use my money to make more money, that's what I'll do. Yes I know, Dave Ramsey is doing backflips at that idea.

    Rich, I believe it was in the 50's in Katy today. Timetraveler, that walking 5 miles in the snow to school was bad but my complaint was it was up hill going and coming. I carried my lunch in a syrup bucket, how about you. Low 60's on Canyon Lake, Tx today.
