  1. Thanks, Brett. I have the axle weights but I would like to confirm I'm not something like 30/70. Using your 45/55 ratio, would that apply for the tag also?
  2. I want to get four corner weights and so far I've not found a place in central Texas to do that. There are lots of scales but they all have bollards placed close to the scale edges. Any suggestions? And no, I'm not driving to Oregon.
  3. That would be a nice list to have.
  4. What chassis? How did FMCA or Good Sam recommend this shop to you?
  5. Copied from their website: EXCHANGE PROGRAM: This program applies to original purchaser only. This program is not transferable. A new M&G brake cylinder may be purchased at a discounted price to fit a new towed vehicle. When you purchase a new towed vehicle and your M&G cylinder will not transfer or fit the new towed vehicle, simply call M&G and purchase new M&G cylinder with a credit card for the full retail price. M&G will ship to you the new cylinder with a pre-printed UPS return label. Return the old cylinder to M&G. After M&G receives the exchange cylinder, we will credit your credit card $180. Therefore, the exchange price will be the difference plus freight when the cylinder is returned to M&G.
  6. Its very easy to remove, especially on a 2001 Jeep because you have plenty of room to work.
  7. 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.
  8. 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. http://www.aquahot.com/products/rv/Annual-Service-Kits.aspx 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.
  9. I have it on good authority, you all failed the test.
  10. Oh! You're probably right, Carl. How do you like this hill country weather this morning?
  11. Look here. http://www.remcoindustries.com/Towing/product.php?f=lubePumpKit.php http://www.remcoindustries.com/Towing/Store.php
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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?

    Inverter

    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.
  16. You can call Freightliner Help Desk 24/7/365. 800-385-4357 You will need the last 6 of your VIN.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.

    Health insurance

    Since I'm easily confused, what does the post title "health insurance" have to do with the question? If you need computer access, you probably should give more information. Are you moving around or mostly static? How secure does the connection need to be? Are you frequently in areas of good cell service? What will your gig usage be? Do you want to depend on campground wifi?
  22. 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.
  23. LOL....I'm regularly digging myself out of having hoof and mouth disease.
  24. Herman, I believe Bass Pro Shop is buying Cabellas. Bass Pro bid on Gander Mountain but lost out to Marcus.
