  1. Such is life with a gasser. One of the advantages of the turbo diesel is that the drive is much more relaxing. No engine at the red line, very little down shifting...just a nice quiet drive. On edit...I forgot to answer your question. Yes, you have enough power, if you can stand what goes with it.
  2. Same for me, I also have to turn on a rocker switch against the wall of the inside cabinet above the recepticle.
  3. You can always call Allison, they are very helpful...have the transmission serial number handy.
  4. We've been RVing since the early 70s...never heard of this before. These units are designed to run on propane when driving, and that's what we do. Do you have a reference for these comments?
  5. Your requirement to "comfortably tow 10,000" will narrow the field. Many MHs will only tow 5k, others will tow 10k, but I don't know how comfortably that would happen. If this is a serious need, look for coaches that will tow 15k.
  6. We have a 400 HP ISL, MH GW is 34,600 and we tow a CRV. Overall MPG is around 8. A headwind hurts our mileage worse than anything else.

    Tire Safeguard TPMS

    My coach came with a TPMS system, but sorry, I can't recall the brand. BTW, I was in VN, in III Corps, and wore both the patches you have displayed.
  8. Re coolant for newer Cummins...another recommended brand is Peak "Final Charge Global Extended Life."
  9. That's the way mine work, the instructions are in the manual. If the mirrors don't work at all, be sure they are plugged in to the back of the radio.
  10. If your lights, plastic trim, and glass are in good shape and you want to keep them that way, try Protect All. www.protectall.com
  11. If Honda makes a vehicle towable, it will say so in the owner's manual.
  12. We all have our favorites, mine is the Honda CRV. The owner's manual tells you it is towable and what you need to tow it. Plus you get Honda's reliability, economy, and quality engineering.

    Used Tires Inspection

    Too big of a risk and unknown for me. I don't put used tires on anything.
  14. We just attended a rally and an Allison seminar. The limiting factor for the 3000/4000 Allisons is not weight, but engine torque, don't know about the 2500 Allison.

    OK Campground

    Downstream Casino on the OK/MO line has RV parking. Not sure of the services, but I think it has power/water and a common sewer dump. Free for three days with a club card...also free. : www.downstreamcasino.com
  16. If the Revolution is like all other AC models, the batteries are charged from the inverter/charger when on shore power.
  17. Rule number 5, if all else fails, get a bigger hammer.
  18. After I had my coach for a few months, one day at a CG with nothing to do, I got a notebook and found every fuse panel in the coach...they are in four separate basement sections. I made a diagram of every panel, listing basement section and every fuse/spare that was located there. Now when I have a 12v problem, I research my MH book and not every basement section.
  19. Good suggestion. We are in Rockport now...there are CGs all over the place. There is very little "beach'' here.
  20. Have you considered getting a rock guard for your MH?
  21. Check the American Coach models for those years. The new ACs are rated at 15,000, so the older ones are probably in your range or higher.
  22. I'm certainly no engineer, but in theory, the turbocharger remedies the altitude problem by compressing the air back to sea-level pressures in order to produce rated power at higher altitudes. The altitude at which the engine is producing full power is known in aviation terms as the critical altitude. When the vehicle is above that altitude, engine power output will decrease as altitude increases just as it would in a naturally aspirated engine.
  23. My coach requires 26" blades. Due to the width of the blade that fits in the OEM bracket, all will not fit (Anko did not fit). At Wal Mart, I found Bosch, they did fit.
