  1. I have a 2006 Winnebago Aspect on the Ford E-450 cutaway chassis with the V10 gas engine.

    The prior owner's last used 5W20 and this is what is on the cap on the engine. Should I just use this weight or would the fact I live in South Florida, (Ft Lauderdale area), make another weight choice more optimal?

    Also, where can I get specs on the amount of oil I will need and the oil filter. Although I have a lot of the manuals, I do not have the Chassis Owner's Manual.

    Thanks!

    I have a 2008 Winnebago Outlook on a 2007 E-450 Super Duty chassis and I use 5W20 synthetic motor oil. My engine is also the V-10.


  2. Brett, I could not agree more!! Frances and I took the Alaska Cruise out of Seattle. The inside passage route. What a trip. Like you say, beautiful scenery, wildlife in abundance. Plenty of photo ops. Hope to go back one day and take a different route. Spent a week in Anchorage once on convention. Made several day trips from there.


  3. Paul:

    I appreciate the comment. I had not done business with Camping World before except to buy parts and supplies from them when they had a good price. They ran a special on upgrading my manual awning with an electric one at a good price so I thought I'd try them even though they are 50 miles one way from my house. I was told the exchange would take 2 hours so I could wait. It ended up taking 3 days!!! Their attitude toward me as the customer was that I was something they had to put up with and that to talk to me was taking them away from something really important. Luckily I had my wife and my car with me and I told them (after being there since 8 AM with an appointment) that I had to know by 3pm if they could finish that day. I had to be back home not later than 4 and if they could finish in one day my wife could come back home, take care of the business, and I'd wait and drive the motor home. If they couldn't have it ready in one day my wife and I would both come home in the car and come back to pick up the motor home when it was ready. They simply could not or would not give me an answer. I talked to the service manager who promised to help and then refused to speak further with me and passed me down to a subordinate. At 3:30 I was finally told that the work could not be finisihed that day. I learned that they had pulled the tech off of my job and put him on another job.

    So, I am now with you. If my motorhome breaks down in their drive way I'll have it towed somewhere else for work.

    Man, I am now wondering about Camping World. There is a CW store not too far from my son's home in New Braunfels, TX. I was thinking of having some window awnings installed next trip down, but reading these comments I am not sure I need to get into that.


  4. Thanks Seajay for getting the ball rolling on this forum. And, thanks FMCA for allowing it. I served in USAF 1964-1968. My youngest son is serving now in USAF...been in a little over 21 years. I appreciate all veterans for their service to our great country. Looking forward to this forum. Happy travels....


  5. Thanks, Mike and Okiedave. I appreciate the response. I am thinking to go ahead and order the system. I feel better knowing someone actually was satisfied with the company. I happened upon the website accidentally. Could not believe the price. Anyway, thanks again and happy travels to you all...Paul


  6. I am considering purchasing a Blue Ox Patriot supplemental braking system from AdventureRV.net. Their price is much better than the local dealer. I am wondering if anyone has bought from this company before and is willing to share their experience with me. I will be using this system with a Winnebago Outlook 29' class c, Saturn Vue toad, Blue Ox towbar. I appreciate any comments. Happy travels....Paul


  7. We're touring the SE US where's the best fall off the bone natural smoked BBQ?

    Ramblinboy.....for ribs try RENDEVOUZ in Memphis (across street from Peabody Hotel in an alley). For the best brisket and pecan cobbler in this world, go to TEXAS PRIDE in the area north of San Antonio area close to Randolph AFB.

    Happy travels and good eatin'....

    Paul
