Thanks Ross, I wasn't sure of where and what constitutes a membership vote. However I am not sure the method of voting would have any effect on the number of members that may or may not vote. Thanks again, Herman

Give your local Freighliner service center a call. They can give recommend miles and what lube to use. Herman

What is the factory warranty on the Mercedes? It should be in the neighborhood of 100k. Herman

Thanks Brett, I am fully aware of the high pressure pumps location. Saw the pump and it's location when it was being replaced. There is an oil port from the cover the pump mounts to that supplys oil to the pump. In the case is a recess for the "O" ring. Either the tech didn't put it in or it fell out during reassembly. The Service Mgr. Knew immediately what the problem was on Monday morning. He said he puts a large amount of grease in the recess to hold the ring in place. On my 8.9 ISL, is the lift pump in the tank? Herman

To all, I am a novice on the subject of the fuel system on a diesel MH. Let me see if I have this straight. I have a 2002 Cummins 400 ISL 8.3. I have a Lift Pump in the Fuel Tank that pushes the Fuel to the High Pressure Pump, which feeds the Injectors. The lift pump is just a booster for the high pressure fuel pump. Am I any where close to understanding it? By the way, in route to Indianapolis we had to have our High Pressure Pump replaced in Joplin, MO. We were there for 4 days. The great mechanics finished up on Saturday at 1:45 AM. Just as I paid my bill the tech came in and said we had a leak but that they would stay till it was corrected. I said no. Go home and come in Monday and then fix the leak. (They are closed on Sat. and Sun.) They did, found a very important "O" ring had fallen out. Put it all back together and we headed out. Runs like a top. Thanks to the Staff and Techs at Cummins Service Center, Joplin Missouri. Herman

Mark, Look at FMCA Executive Directors above statement. It doesn't matter how old you are or your mother is. Until the Bylaws are changed we can not vote on line. Till the Governing Board meet and decide to seek a change this is how it will stand. Also a change to the Bylaws, if I am not mistaken, has to be voted on by the membership. And guess what that vote would have to be done by paper ballots also. Herman

Passport America Park at half price? What $13,50 + tax? Looks like a beautiful park. Expectations on future parks may not be too good. Herman

Just to point out this post is three years old and the OP's last post was June 21, 2014. Hope he got his black tank flushed. 😝😷 Herman

Bill There is a tire company in Denton that handles the Michelin tires. You might check with the. Can't remember the name but is out on Hwy 380 east and the loop. They might be the ones to call. Herman

Chris and Bill, While it is true that Seven Corners will not have a commercial transport company drive your coach home, they do cover the expense to return the coach to your home up to $5,000.00. Yes it is more difficult then them handling to return it is still covered monetarily. This is one benefit that I hope neither of you will ever need. Chris it is great to see that you are carrying on with the tradition you family started (F3508S) Herman

Building a Class B is very close to the custom vans from the past. Both take a manufacturer's basic model van and do a remarkable job of converting them into nice units. Where Class "A" and "B" " basically start from scratch. That is the main reason A & Bs have so many more issues with slides and other items. And yes Mercedes, GM and Ford have much better QC. Herman

Yes Bill, it is in a strange location. but when filling you only have to stop with the front of the coach even with the pump and pull the hose close to the middle of the windshield. Different, Yes, but it worked for Rexhall. Herman

Darby, Sorry for your issues. But thanks for telling every one that age has no bearing on what you can achieve. GO FOR IT!! Herman

Thanks Pam. Sorry it was more of an assumption on my part and not based on fact. Looking forward to all the future Magazine article and reviews. Herman

I guess once you have the plaque it is your to do as you please. It would be nice for folks to remove it and mount it on their next coach. We have a friend that always mounts his with screws. This theory is when removed there will be a faded area so the next owner should join FMCA and cover the area with their plaque. Herman

DK, Take a look at rvparksreviews.com . There you can check out the mentioned park and possible others in the same area. Make sure the reviews are current and not several years old. Herman

Sounds like a Booming time of the year, Pun Intended. Herman

Joe I always wonder what may have tripped, blown, a fuse. Some times I will replace a fuse and think I will check it out later. Then I will forget it and never have it blow again. If it blows again then that will really get my attention. (??????? what dune it?) Herman

One other point to think of during your travel time, Sept. to Oct. RV parks closing for the year. Many parks will begin to close after Labor day till spring. Herman

One fuse no problem. Two, who would of Thunk. Thanks for letting everyone know. Herman

Chris, Great point. One of the reasons you don't see some manufacturers with articles is money. The companies that have articles, coach reviews, pay for the space. It is part of their advertising budget. Herman

When I fill up at a truck stop I will break out my Windex. I will spray the entire windshield Start the pump and go back and spray again. then I will use the long handle scrubber and squeegee. Using this method the Windex loosens the bugs and makes it so much easier to clean. Just my 2 cents. Herman

Come on gentlemen, everyone has an opinion. Please don't let it get personal. Herman

Brett, Aluminum is a soft metal and is used on all outboard motors and out drives. They all have anode on them. The anode, being made of zinc and softer than aluminium, it will be attacked first due to electrolysis, some times called galvanic corrosion. This may be Atwoods way of getting the tanks serviced more often. Side question, at one time I purchased an Anode drain plug with a pet coc built-in. Do you know if they are still available?

Good idea Don. Do you know when the ballots will be available? I was told you could call and get a copy emailed. Herman
