Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk

I don't recall seeing that either, my sincere condolences. Any form of leukemia that is "acute" (AML) means fast moving...."chronic" means slow moving. -
Call Allison, they are very helpful.

Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk

I can still drive fine as well, I think that was just an excuse to hang it up. I finally gave up my FAA flight instructor rating in May, it seems if the FAA thinks I'm okay, she would too! A while back I had four treatments for CLL, but it does not affect my driving or anything else....yet. -
Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk

Best wishes to all you guys. I'll be 82 next Bday, have had one bout with CLL (from two tours in VN) and the D/W said I'm too old to drive....so, rather than argue, put the bus on the market. Had it appraised, came back at $250k, now asking $219k. Had a couple of serious lookers, but no offers.....except the ones for $150k. The appraiser said it would be hard to sell in this market. People are hesitant to pay a quarter of a mil for a toy. He also said if it was 10 years older and $100k less it would go fast. Maybe things will change after the election. -
I It's been a while since we've had a 5th wheel, but I thought the newer models with inverters, had a converter/charger and a separate inverter...not so?

Sure sorry to hear that...your last sentence is the bottom line. As an old colonel told me years ago, "if money will fix it, it's not a problem." -
If you are looking at new tires, the reasons are applicable. A great many of us have been forced to swap out Michelins years before other brands due to sidewall cracking. Check the other forums, there are lots of links to their issues.

Double post, answered this one earlier in Modifications.

Your subject says, "RV Furniture......" Go to any furniture store, RV furniture is nothing special, other than expensive.

I don't know a thing about the UOGG....all I do know is that in most cases when it sounds too good to be true, it is. I'd proceed with caution.

Be sure you have all the numbers when you call... year, model, serial number, etc...they are very helpful.

I have Continental 315s on the front and Toyo 295s the rear six....dealer didn't have any 315 Continentals.

Try REV Parts: 800-698-6315.

I would not have another set of Michelins. Like many on this and other forums, I had to change out my OEM Michelins due to significant sidewall cracking at five years and 32k. Michelin tried to convince us their tires were fine by making a pamphlet showing threes stages of cracking. The last of their examples shows a cracked sidewall, that Michelin says is totally serviceable. However, I don't know many of us that will leave on a long trip with any cracked tires. Michelins are over rated and way over priced. That information can be found on virtually and tire web site.

$950 is a steal, even for an older coach. Get another estimate and compare price versus coverage.

I can appreciate what your wife is experiencing. I was diagnosed with CLL, supposedly due to two tours in VN, in Feb 17. Totally dormant until Nov 2023 when I had a huge egg sized lump on my neck...had four treatments of Rituximab....I guess it's dormant again until it raises it ugly head. My wife decided it was time to sell the coach, got an appraisal, and listed it below the appraised value on Jan 7, 2024. So far we've had one serious offer/accepted then he couldn't get financing, and one looker....that's it. The MH market is terrible. I've had many offers $100k below the asking price. Fortunately we don't 'need' the money, so it's still on the market. -
...and 33 years old.

Unless the word "bad" precedes it, investment is a word not normally used in conjunction with an RV. As for the two coaches, most MH manufacturers will mate an appropriate engine to a chassis. So the 340 will probably do fine with the Winnie, and the 450 will probably do fine with the Newmar.
-
Don't know what year your MB is, but most new cars have gone to the new CVT (continuously variable transmission), and FWD models cannot be towed four down. As noted above, your best bet is read what the owner's manual says....and not what the salesman says.

Keeping Tow Car Relatively Clean
five replied to davidsuzanne's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
We had an OEM rock guard. Used it for a couple of years and finally took it off. It dragged going in and out of some CGs, and did not do a good job protecting the toad. So I don't have an answer for you, other than trying the ''big brush" idea. -
What cable gauge needed when adding house batteries?
five replied to Rlgabriel's topic in Electrical
Go to a ''real'' battery shop and ask them. I got my last house and starter batteries at Interstate. The house batteries have a three year full replacement warranty. -
Toyos are not on the FMCA discount program....but they are a better, longer lasting tire than Michelin, and way cheaper...regardless of discount.
