Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
five replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
I do not use one for this reason, plus it can drive water where water should not be. -
Carl, your wiring is haywire. AC's of your vintage should be wired so that when on shore power/generator and the charge is 13.3 or greater, the charge goes through to the chassis batteries. Like wise, when driving and the charge to the chassis batteries gets to 13.3 or greater, the coach batteries should be getting charged.

I've driven all three, as well as a Class C MH and a pick up with a 9 1/2' slide in camper. MH with a tag axle gets my vote as most stable...it's the heaviest with the most wheels on the ground.
-
They've changed, Carl, my 14 AC Eagle uses house batteries for the generator.

The military version is six P's....prior planning prevents p___ poor performance.

We have a Patriot II, works as advertised...no problems.

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4-door towable? 2019
five replied to mailman's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
You guys are wasting your time, haven't seen the OP since July. -
It would help if you listed the year, make, model, engine, trans, etc of your coach.

IMHO, Michelins are over rated and over priced. Mine cracked at six years. I checked on replacement Michelins and was told they could not get my size (had two 315s but no six 295/80R22.5). So I put 315 Continentals on the front, using the FMCA tire program, and six Toyo 295/80R22.5 on the rear....cheaper than either the MIchelins or Continentals.

Guaranteed for 100,000 miles or until it leaves the dealer's lot, which ever comes first.

My key fob unlocks/locks both the locks on the door....and another click of the fob unlocks the basement locks. We keep a spare set of keys in the toad (the door has separate keys), in case there is a problem with the fob.

Send a trans fluid sample to a lab to be tested. I do it every year, here's who I use: http://www.jglubricantservices.com/

I need a trickle charger that will bring my toad back up to a full charge after a day of driving. The HF model won't do that.
-
Your BIL was lucky. There have been way too many examples of AAA not having the proper equipment or personnel sent to assist a MH. I'm in the process of renewing my ERS provider, AAA is not in the running.
-
I hope you read the fine print on the HF "maintainer." I don't know if this is still true, but they did offer one unit of the trickle charge variety that will maintain a fully charged battery, but will not bring one that is not fully charged up to a full charge.

Comparing Coach Net, Good Sam & FMCA Roadside Assistance Coverage
five replied to huffypuff's topic in Roadside Assistance
I had a three year plan with GS for $270 that is about to expire. Now to renew for one year, they want $160, with a $10 discount. Coach Net wants $250 and FMCA wants $74. These are current figures. -
How careful must I be walking on Class A roof?
five replied to Lightnup's topic in Type A motorhomes
Lots of stuff up there you must either walk around or trip over...or both. My roof has three A/Cs, three roof vents, sat/TV/radio antennas, bath sky light, two toilet vents, and a solar panel. I'm parked where there are metal rafters about four feet above the roof of the coach when parked. So I must step over some items while ducking under the rafters.- 24 replies

I don't know if this would work on your Lincoln, but I had the same problem with both my Honda CRVs. Solved it by installing a bigger battery with more reserve power. A Honda Odyssey battery fits the CRV, a little tight, but works okay, no problems since.
-
It makes more sense for the arrows or description to be for the coach not the jacks. When pressing the button or following the instructions, we are leveling the coach...we don't care which way the jacks move.
-
Carl, on our coaches the compression brake, when working, also turns on the brake lights.
-
My DD 13 has a three speed compression brake.
-
Exactly the same for me. Below 40 they (mine at least) do not work on heat. In fact, I'd rather not bother with the heat pump and use the AH. The AH is quieter and provides much more evenly divided heat.
-
Gamecock1212 I agree with dd69, unless you bought an older starter model or one in poor shape. We are on RV number six and all of the nicer ones were kept in covered and locked storage. They do better out of the sun, hail, snow, etc.
-
I said, "$25 or more per hour." The reason I was told for the extra charge is that in a normal tractor, most parts that need service are under the hood...ours are all over and under the coach.
-
Same with our DPs. Even Freightliner Oasis dealers, who claim to be MH friendly, are hesitant to work on them and can't get parts...and still charge $25 or more per hour when they do work on them.
