As a retired military officer, I'm still on the military personnel rolls and subject to recall in case of a national emergency. I hope this mark on my "permanent record" will not affect my ability to get my Top Secret clearance back should I be recalled to active duty.

On most Fleetwoods, the engine will charge the chassis batteries. Once they get up to a certain charge level, they will let the charge go through to the coach batteries. When on shore power, it works the same except the charge goes first to the coach batteries, then the chassis batteries.

Regarding speed, some toads are speed restricted. My CRV is limited to 65. On the same subject, I've noticed that once I go over 60, the bad MPG, gets even worse.

I belong to a number of different forums...RVs, boats, engines, pick ups... probably 10 to 12 all together. Some I look at daily, when able, others just once in a while. Recently I received the following from one of the forums, I will not embarrass them by mentioning their name: You have received a warning at xxxxxx forum.Reason:-------Community Rules Violation - warningYour recent post has been edited for linking to a competing site & you are receiving a warning for another violation of Community Rules. The warning is in effect for 120 days but stays on your record permanently.Other forums can be helpful to members, especially brand/model specific ones, but it's inappropriate to link to a competing forum. I put a link in a thread to a brand specific MH so a member could ask brand specific questions...made sense to me. My "permanent record"...are we still in high school?

We use clear plastic storage bins in the basement. They come in all sizes and you can see through them. Wally World: https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=plastic%20storage%20bins&typeahead=plas

Didn't notice this earlier. No, I just use my standard two 60 w bulbs in two trouble lights. With all the door closed, it's usually pretty warm in there...plus it's lots colder in PA than here. I should add, these light bulbs are the old kind, not LED and not the curly ones. I have a big stash of the old ones...getting them before the gubmint totally bans them.

I've done running the anti freeze through the system. However, it's a PITA when it has to go through the washer, icemaker, refer water line, hot water dispenser, toilets and Aqua Hot. Plus, we spend part of Dec and Jan on the Gulf Coast...when we come home I'd have to do it all over again. The light bulbs are lots faster and easier. I use the cheap trouble lights, about $6 in Walmart. Carl...Don't live in AK...the letters are close though...AR. We are near I 40 and the OK border. Doesn't usually get too cold, however one year when we headed for the Gulf Coast and it was eight degrees.

Top dollar and bottom service...what a deal.

Do you have good VERY reliable power? I do, and here's what I do. I have eight trouble lights, each with a 60 w bulb. I put two in the washer tub, two in with the Aqua Hot, two with the ice maker, and two in the water bay. I use two in case a bulb burns out. I also pour anti freeze in the sinks and shower P traps. I have electric toilets, so after emptying the fresh water tank, I flush the toilets a few times to get the water out of them. Then I dump anti freeze in them and flush them, then repeat that process, adding anti freeze and flushing, until they flush red. Then I pour extra anti freeze in the bowl and leave it. When really cold, I check the coach every few days.

You guys are forgetting that these coaches are in one of three conditions...not in any particular order: - It's broken. - You just fixed it. - It's getting ready to break again.

I put a very small eye bolt in the bottom corner of the full width rock guard, with the 'eye' side facing rear. Above each eye bolt I have a short piece of small chain with the bottom link open. When entering an area where the rock guard will drag, I lift each corner up and attach it to the chain. When not being used, I hook the chain on itself out of the way...and sight.

The REV Tech Center in Alvarado, is $140/hour.

If you REALLY want to sell it, lower the price. Works every time.

After watching the video, it's amazing any of these things run.

My first tour in VN, I was XO of a 105mm howitzer battery (in the 4th then 25th Inf Divisions). All of our HE (high explosive) ammo was new, but we did shoot some illumination rounds manufactured in the early 1940s that was left over from WW II.

That's neat! What kind of power train were they using in 1959?

...or old mogas in a C-rat can full of dirt. (VN '67-'68, '70-'71)

Bottom line, for me at least, is that 1994 is too old, too many problems and things to go wrong.

Sounds good! Get their email address, contact them in a year and ask about problems.

You might want to check out the "Death Wobble" with Grand Cherokees. I just binged it and this is the first article that came up: http://www.allpar.com/SUVs/jeep/death-wobble.html

We went to an RV show a number of years ago and one particular company had really good looking tires. I asked what he used and he said, "don't tell anybody because it is bad for your tires, but the stuff that makes 'em look the best is brake fluid."

Nope. Never heard anything really bad about any brand. Just get them from a reputable dealer and be sure they are not old. Also, don't forget to adjust and set your charger for AGMs.

A final clarification. Most AC coaches like mine have two inverter/chargers and two banks of four 6 v batteries each. They are wired totally separately with one inv/battery bank dedicated solely for the residential refer, the other inv/battery bank for all other 12 v requirements. My set up is only one inverter charger but eight 6 v batteries to run everything. I do not know why the original owner wanted eight batteries and only one inverter, but that's what I have. These residential refers draw so little power, four 6 v batteries would have been plenty. In fact, one of the guys in our club just went from four 6 v batteries to two 12 v batteries.

The bottom line is that if you are seriously concerned about annual costs (or any other costs) you are in the wrong hobby.

14 MPG is down hill with a tail wind.
