  1. Do what the owner's manual says. My Cummins manual (and Honda manual) say the initial oil change that we used to do is no longer required.
  2. Same here, except I had white...D/W said they did not match the coach...now I have black. At least they keep the sun off the tires.
  3. That's the solution in our MH!
  4. If you don't mind, which Cummins Mid South are you using? I used one of them earlier in the year and also had a problem where they did not listen to what I suggested they do and it cost me over $250...nothing compared to your bill, but the point is the same. Buddy
  5. I'd be very careful and do lots of research. Many of the memberships are expensive and require many years obligation. We joined 1000 Trails but let it expire...the CGs were alway full of parked RVs on annual agreements and they had the best spots.

    Block Heater

    On mine, the heater plug must be plugged in, then the switch turned on. The plug for the heater is in the basement compartment with the power cord.
  7. I have found the two things that most affect MPG are speed and head wind.
  8. We have a Tri Mark system in our MH. Since the door also has a dead bolt, we don't use the keyless entry for it's one lock. However, it does have a feature that locks/unlocks most of the basement doors which is great. Some basement doors must be manually unlocked such as the battery and Aqua Hot compartments.
  9. That's what I have, the R5000. It is a screen that combines all audio systems (AM, FM, Sat), Garmin GPS, front and side cameras, all vehicle systems and more.
  10. Thanks for your PM, Rich, I had forgotten about this thread. We are on the road now, and my symptoms have changed. Left signal works fine by using the turn signal or the arrow button below the screen. The right signal now works on neither the turn signal or the arrow, all I get when activating either is a totally black screen. Rear works fine. I can not fine the name of the manufacturer on any of my paperwork or on any of the hard ware.
  11. Never heard of that. We tow a CRV and have a number of friends with CRVs...none add miles to the odometer.
  12. IMHO, no need for AWD unless you live in snow country.

    Tow/Haul Button

    The fine print of your owner's manual might help. I had a 3500 Chevy dually with the Duramax. The manual said to use the T/H mode when the GCW was 75% or more of the GCWR.
  14. I don't know what I'd use them for. They are way too light and small to put under a heavy MH...had them on a 5th wheel and they were barely okay.
  15. Go on a few trips and see if a screen room is something you would like to have and would use. On several occasions, we have looked at something, 'thought' it would be fun and we'd use it and gotten it. One item I can think of is still in the basement, still in it's original wrappings.
  16. If all else fails, call the manufacturer.
  17. Your MH, and of course, your call, but a cover would be my last choice. I store my MH in a boat storage yard where the owner has a few MH storage garages. Look around maybe you can find something similar. A city the size of IND surely has something available. $285 is a bit steep, must be due to being heated.
  18. Inside storage is by far the best option. Covers are an expensive pain...heavy, thus hard to get on the roof and put on, may rub a place on the MH or the MH may rub a hole in the cover, need to find a place to store it when on the road, can't get in the RV with the cover on (unless it has a zippered door), RV gets moldy if cover is too tight, etc. For a new rig, IMHO the best option, by far, is covered and locked storage with power.
  19. That's good information. I had the After Treatment DPF idiot light come on...called Cummins, they said just keep driving. I did and it went off as described.
  20. One thing to consider when getting MH tires, is that normally they will die of old age long before the tread wears out.
  21. If it's only four months old, take it to the dealer and let him figure it out...at his expense.
  22. My seat fuses are in the forward street side basement bin.
