On tires and alignment I have had good results using Purcell Tires and Service located in Austin, Tx. They are a national firm so there is probably someplace near you. Also ask a truck stop in your area where the big trucks get that kind of service.

Here is road side service story. My wife and I were headed home (Georgetown) from Corpus Christi on a late Sunday evening and pull off the interstate to get diesel at George West . Left the coach running while I went in to pay and start the pumps. Wife went to walk the dog. Upon returning could not open the door. Had the keys so I locked it and unlock it and still the latch would not work. had several people try and still locked out. We both left our cell phones in the coach so I had to use the station"s phone ( lesson learned-always have cell phone on you when you leave the coach). Call my service provider and they tried to get a locksmith at the remote location. After a two hour wait with the coach burning up my fuel- decided to break a window and crawl in. Indoor latch open the door with no problem. with wife in coach and me outside tried the door probably 50 times and it work every time. After a $300.00 bill fixing the broken window- we now leave one window unlocked when traveling.

Go to Remco web site http://www.remcotowing.com/vehicles and enter your truck and it will tell you if it is possible

I had all 6 tires trued and rebalanced and it gave me a smooth ride. Hard to find someone that trues tires anymore . Used Hunt Tire Service out of Winchester TN.

Thanks for the suggestion. My wife and I love camping and golf. will check it out on my east coast trip

Thanks Brett- sounds like good advice

Question- I check my tire pressure when cold ( before the day's drive) and find one tire 3 lbs lower than I usually run. I don't have the equipment at the park to add air. Is it OK to add air at the fuel station. Like you measure the tire after you have driven- then add 3 lbs to that reading. Will that be acceptable ?

I have a Blue Ox coach mounted. Easy for a one man connection and disconnect. I went with the 10000 lbs- overkill for what I drag- but I don't worry about it.

Tony- Over the next several months will need new tires for my coach. I presently running Goodyear 295 80R 22.5 load range H. Thanks for the quote- kniowing that tire pricing changes regularly.

You may have a bad GFI plug. I had one and had to replace it and all is well.

Got my 3M spray at Home depot. Call contact glue. Comes in a spray can and sorta messy. While there buy a couple of sheets of cheap plastic drop cloth ($.99) Seems to be working. Robert Huffhines

Was wondering the same. I am a active scrollsawer and plan to carry with me when I go full time. Good ideal about mounting it to plywood sheet and clamping to picnic table. Alot of the stuff I make require a drill press and router table so will probably need to change what I make. Robert Huffhines 2007 CC Tribute

I have a 2007 CC tribute and it has a reel but not powered- you have to crank it. Works great.

Mike The compressor does not short cycle and I had the freon level checked and it is OK. Believe the condenser fan was short cycling because the motor was about to go out. Replaced and all is well.

Just getting back to the thread- the new fan is working fine and is so quiet I can barely hear it- from what I can tell it doesn't cycle now. This past weekend drove a 300 mile trip in 95 degree heat and everything is cooling as it should. Thanks again for all you help.

They work fine and then stop for a few seconds ... then work fine for a while. I pushed around on the wire and can't make it happen. Also replaced the 5-amp fuse. It might be a ground, but I don't know where to start looking. Any help would be appreciated. Sometimes, I think a gremlin is in the dash.

Finally determine that the noise was a condenser fan motor about to go out. Bought a fan from Auto Zone and now is quite. 300 mile road trip this weekend and everything work fine.

Getting ready to go full time RVing. We have a GE profile microwave/convection. Have never cooked in one. Will my cast iron be OK to use in this type oven? Thanks, Chee Chee

Thanks for the information- will check out the compressor cycling and probably take it to a AC Tech as the summer are hot in Texas.

Yes - I know you can do it. when buying our first Class A my wife was required to drive it off the lot and accept some driving responsiblities. She did great. Whenever we have to back into a overnite space- I am the spotter and she backs it in. We recently bought a new Class A and she has watched all the operations needed to operate- even the toad. There is a learning curve and it helps to know how things work- but ask on this forum and someone will set forward to help. Good luck and see you down the Road Robert

CC stand for Country Coach- it has a Cat C9400 HP and the condenser coil is located in front under the passenger area. There is an electric fan to blow air across coil that cycles regularly (like every minute) and runs for 15 seconds. AC works fine except the fan is loud and was wondering if the short run cycle was normal.

Recently purchased a 2007 CC Tribute. While driving with the dash air on, the condenser coil fan cycles every minute and runs about 15 seconds, then starts over again. It is producing cold air. The noise from the fan is annoying while sitting in the passenger seat. Wondering if its operating correctly. Never heard one cycle so often.

Thanks for the post. I look forward to participating on this forum. If goes as planned will purchase a 2007 Tribute and my wife and I will go full time in August of this year.

My wife and I are considering purchasing a 2007 Tribute 260 that comes with a rear radiator vs what I usually see as side mounted radiators in this weight and engine size (Caterpillar C9 400 HP) coach. Need help in deciding whether one application is better than the other. Also what has been your experiences if you own a motor home with a 400 HP diesel and rear mounted radiator.
