Its very easy to remove, especially on a 2001 Jeep because you have plenty of room to work.

Just remember, Carl, you can take a Texan out of Texas but you'll never take the Texan out of a Texan.
58 degrees at Canyon Lake this morning.

Next time save yourself some money. If you have limited DIY skills and a few tools you can do this yourself. DIY service kit $249.99.

I can be sitting very close my exhaust I can't smell a thing. If your neighbors are getting a smell in their window something is wrong with your unit.

I have it on good authority, you all failed the test.

Oh! You're probably right, Carl.
How do you like this hill country weather this morning?

Another one post poster?

No problem whatsoever until your state tax man comes a calling. Penalty, interest, fine and the 6% tax can add up to a pretty hefty sum.

Not at all, Joan. I'm not sure what your issues were with signing in and posting but I'm glad you've been able to finally get past the gremlins.
Since I was the original poster of this thread, I'll simply say its the poster that post one time and many of us spend time responded and they never sign back in. Those were the posters I was referring to. As an example, a posters posts "I'm stuck in a campground because I can't get my jacks up". First thing I do is start asking questions like what kind of jacks do you have, manufacturer, make, model and year of your coach. Others may post shot in the dark solutions while days go by and the original poster never comes back. Assumption is they were able to get'er done.
Again, my original post was not aimed at you or for that matter it was not intended for anyone in particular, just the one post poster. In my opinion, the best part of this forum is the learning from each other. If the poster never comes back with that worked or that didn't work, how do any of us learn what works and what doesn't.
I'm glad you maiden trip was a success and I hope we get to hear from you often.

Its a known problem with the connections on the daisy chain wiring. There is a recall to replace the wiring. I had the same issue on my 2008 bounder Diesel. They mailed me the wiring harness and I replaced the existing harness with never another issue.
Have you called the help desk?
-
I never turn mine off.
When you store your motorhome, is it connected to shore power? Mine is connected to 30amp service and I leave the inverter on.

You can call Freightliner Help Desk 24/7/365. 800-385-4357 You will need the last 6 of your VIN.

Glad to see you back looking, Lyle. We recently purchased a Newmar Ventana 4369. It is a bath and half and the rear bath is huge with a large emergency door for an exit. There is also an emergency exit window in the bedroom.
We've been looking for a long time and drove many coaches. Unfortunately for all the other manufacturers, the Newmar line was the first we looked at and the other manufacturers could never come close to the quality and especially the drivability of the Newmar. We just got back from a two week 1500 miles trip and I cannot find one reason to take it back to the dealer. The comfort steering and the passive steer tag axle are both phenomenal. I didn't realize one day we were driving with a cross wind until we stopped for lunch. After lunch I stepped out to do my usual walk around and thats when I realized there was a strong wind blowing. I'm sold on Newmar for many reasons. Good luck in your search, Lyle.

I agree 100% with everything you said, Carl. Like you, I don't agree with his way of doing business and I'm sure that is another of the many reasons I don't have $2 billion plus.
BTW, I'm working on my first billion and so far I think I can get there in another 103 years if the rate of inflation continues.

3 hours ago, gulya said:Elkhartjim: that's why we have to vote to allow towables, so Marcus can buy us out, merge us with Good Sam and we can all become happy campers in the "The Good Fam Club".
What would he buy? He is a smart business man and smart business people don't buy something unless it has value. Does FMCA have any financial value? Maybe some furniture and fixtures.
-
I find it very interesting there is all this negativity towards Marcus Lemonis. Why? Is it because he is such a successful businessman? I'm serious, I don't understand. I'm a Good Sam's member and hate to enter a Camping World store but sometime its necessary. I would never use them for service and would not buy a RV from them because of their service reputation. But....by the opinions of many FMCA members being voiced on another thread, FMCA members are voting to become just like Good Sam without their benefits.
My questions is - why is there so much disdain for Marcus?
BTW, since going public less than a year ago, the stock has almost doubled.
-
How does it normally operate? Does it start from a switch, when you open the hose door or when you insert the hose? Three different scenarios with three or more solutions.
-
LOL....I'm regularly digging myself out of having hoof and mouth disease.

Herman, I believe Bass Pro Shop is buying Cabellas. Bass Pro bid on Gander Mountain but lost out to Marcus.

We just left Big Bend after a week of doing some birding and off roading. We stayed just outside the park in Study Butte/Terlingua at the Big Bend RV Resort and Adventures with full hook-ups and accommodated our 44 ft MH. It is not a resort by any stretch of your imagination. As Carl mentioned, Maverick Rv Resort is by far the nicest park but its about 20 miles to the entrance of the park. Cottonwood General store is a well stocked grocery store in in Study Butte, pronounced Stoody Butte, that has almost everything you will need including wine and beer.
Rio Grande Village Campground, a asphalt parking lot with hook-ups, has 25 sites of which 20 are reservable and 5 held for first come first serve. It is closed until at least Oct because of a water issue.
If you have time, drive from Terlingua to Presidio, its a beautiful drive along the Rio Grande River. Also, go sit on the porch at the general store in the Ghost Town and enjoy the locals as they spin yarns. I'm pretty sure some of these people are in the witness protection program.
Before you leave the area, visit Fort Davis and stay a few days in the Fort Davis State park. It is full hook-ups, drive thru sites.
Like Tom said, there are so many places in the valley you just need to go and see for yourself. They range from golf course resorts to small mom and pop campgrounds. We will be staying at Llano Grande Resort and Country Club in Mercedes, TX next April for spring migration.

I'm don't understand why manufacturers are still installing this product. I just bought a Newmar with it and the care instructions for the Diamond Shield includes a lot of don't 's and very few do's.
-
Are you referring to the Diamond Shield coating or an actual bra that fits over the front cap of the motorhome?
If its the Diamond Shield here are some links to removing it:

Here ya go, Mark. This may be a much more appropriate forum for your pontificating.

Mark....you are not making any friends and if thats your objective you're on the wrong forum. I told you several weeks ago that we all have an opinion and if it doesn't agree with yours you go bonkers trying to convince us we are wrong.
You have your opinion and personally I don't agree with hardly any of them but they are your opinions and I'm perfectly happy for you to share them just don't try to change everyone else to think like you.
I suggest you either back off or back away from this forum and please stop private messaging me.
Brett, you can delete or edit this post, but I, like some of the other members have endured about as many his posts as possible.
