What about the axle...12,400 seems kind of light for a 40' coach? We had a 40' (actually 40' 11") Allegiance and it had a 14,600 front axle and 295/80 tires.

DBH, you are talking to the wrong people, call the factory if you want to get your coach fixed. Sent you a PM.

A few more considerations when using a cover...how will you get it on the roof...they are heavy, and where will you put it when using the coach?

Quite a few Army folks refer to Ft Hood as "the armpit of central Texas." If you have never been there before in the summer, I'd check it out before just moving.

I put in a Blue Ox Patriot II in our CRV last summer. Easy in and easy out, works fine. http://www.hitchsource.com/blue-ox-patriot-ii-p-37150.html?utm_content=Blue Ox - Patriot&utm_term=blue ox patriot ii&utm_campaign=Auxiliary Braking Systems&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=bing&ag=Blue_Ox_-_Patriot&cn=Auxiliary_Braking_Systems&pn=8554562193

Some time it's hard to figure out what these manufacturers are doing. A number of years ago, AC made a Revolution that was all electric (Aqua Hot and residential refer) then put in a propane stove. Made no sense.

I've gotten a couple of their tools when I needed one for a certain job. Their warranty is the same as everybody's...break it, bring it in and they'll give you a new one. Also, Craftsman is now carried in the military exchanges.

See my earlier post for monthly exercise...nothing to it, takes a few minutes.

All the AH experts have different methods of the monthly exercise. Lloyd's son did the last annual on mine...actually biannual, I do it every second or third year. For monthly exercise he said to turn on the burner, and walk around the coach. When you get to the AH exhaust, if it's warm, keep walking around the turn the burner off. If the exhaust is not warm, wait until it is, then continue the walk and turn it off. Don't touch anything else. Also, one thing nobody has mentioned, when using the AH, is the gray temp gauge at the end of the AH opposite the coolant recovery tank. Once a month, it should be turned all the way to the right, back all the way to the left, then back to the set position. Annual fee was $200.

Some camp grounds require jack pads. I carry a set of wooden pads, but haven't used them.

Yes, the 2% figure works better on the bigger tires. Also, I mistyped in my earlier post, I typed "your TP goes down one degree" should have been "TP goes down one PSI"

Brett about covered it. I called Magnum and asked them about the leave on or leave off and turn it on when you need it. They said it makes no difference, however, as Brett said, the inverter does draw some power in the standby mode.

There should be three separate sets of TPs, one for each axle, since each axle is carrying a different load. The TP used should come from the manufacturer's manual, not the sticker on the wall that shows max pressure. And, as Tireman has recommended, I add a 10% fudge factor to the TP in the manual. Also, this time of year, your TP goes down one degree for every 10 degrees of temperature going down, so I add for that. One other thing that I have to remember to do is switch tires on the chart...I have 315s on the front and 295s everywhere else.

I do not see the advantage of adding a third battery system to any coach. Four each six volt coach batteries should work fine for starting the generator. The issue is getting and keeping those four batteries properly charged so they can start the generator as designed. I'd try to get the factory system fixed rather than adding another battery for the generator.

I have a friend that says Maine has two seasons, winter and July 4th.

Thanks, I'll check out the link.

If you have power, there is no need to turn the battery switch off.

Don't know about FMCA, but with GS, your GS card covers your other vehicles.

Same here, GS and CW are two entirely different operations, even though owned by the same company.

How was the CG at Massey's Landing? When I was a kid my folks had a place on the water in the Oak Orchard/Riverdale area. I'd like to go back for a visit.

I don't do business with anybody associated with AARP. $2,100 for a year is pretty steep! I paid GS $270 for three years. As noted in an earlier post, I had a RF blow out. GS brought a new tire and rim (for which I prepaid), mounted the new tire, credited me for the rim, which I did not need, and helped trouble shoot an electrical issue that occurred when the tire blew and ripped out some wires. All without charge...other than the tire. I did give him a nice tip.

Get the heated floors and the AGMs. Those floors really get cold in the spring and fall, and this past Jan we turned them on and left them on. Makes a big difference when it's high teens and windy. Like Carl, I have 2 AGMs for the chassis and 8 for the house. The only thing you need to check is to be sure they are still there.

Have the fluid tested and you'll have your answer, I have mine tested annually.

Another option is to find parking close to home. My MH is only two and a half miles from home.
