Four months and 6 days, but who is counting. Never thought I would be counting in decades and not years. Haven't been told yet. I am the family Mushroom, kept in the dark and cover in manure. Herman

You can take that to the bank. Carl has been there, done that and has many Tee Shirts to prove it. With age comes wisdom which is learned from experience. Carl has both, Age and Experience. Herman

JJ, We all must understand that when Manufacturers design cars they are doing it for the masses. Not for the very small side if the market that would like to tow their vehicle behind a motor home. If it is still an inconvenience for you to try and tow a 2017, you might consider looking for a older vehicle such as a CRV, 4X4 Chevy, Ford or Dodge. Take it from someone closing in on 80, OLDER IS BETTER. Happy Thanksgiving, Herman

Joe, The cold weather package is a very important package. It is designed to keep your warm by heating you up when you think about paying $1,280.00 for something that you didn't ask for and was not described any where by the salesman or owners manual. Happy Thanksgiving Herman

You and Betty are in our prayers. Herman

Good savings on the program. The rims were just a thought. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Herman

Carl, I know it is said that a Heat Pump will operate down to around 34 degrees. However one December we were in Burleson, Texas for a Christmas Rally and had both Ice and Snow. Our Aqua Hot was not working (hot water included). Our Heat pump worked down to 28 degrees. I know it was not suppose to but we were grateful it did. Afterwards I had the electric element in the AH replaced and we had hot water however the shop could not fix the AH its self. Lloyd DeGerald Repaired it in Madison. Photo Cell. Before I forget it, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EACH AND EVERYONE!!!!! Herman

Congratulations Carl, I didn't know you were dating now. Herman

Five, I understand the use of the plug, but wouldn't it been just a simple to wire the preheat to a switch so all you had to do would be to flip the switch to turn on the preheat? But heck we are talking about Motor Home Manufacturers where simple and practical never cross their drawing boards. Carl, You may have a point on your jacks. However we have only air leveling on our coach, which is nice, however I would like to have jacks also. Not to level but just to have the ability to steady the coach when level. Just air alone leaves you with a bit of "Rock & Roll". Herman

Carl, Could you take a picture of the GFCI and where you found it. It may help some folks, me included in the future. Thanks, Herman

Aren't we glad that Heart Surgeon don't feel the same way. Herman

Great, Welcome to the Forum. Are you members of FMCA? If not now is a new time to join a family that has no borders. If Chandler Arizona is too far to go in March of 2107 we will be in Indianapolis Indiana in July of 2017. Come to one or both. Herman

Lyle, Most likely you may access under your kitchen slide by removing the bottom of your kitchen cabinet. You may have to search for the screws holding it down. Mine are in the carpet. Herman

Sounds to me like a baffle is loose. Not that unusual for a muffler but I'm not sure about a catalytic converter. Might be a bit costly but not the end of the world. Herman

I have to reply with a story. Many years ago in times of ole, I was working in a garage doing inspections. I had a 1963 Chevrolet with a parking light out. When I removed the lens (yes back then you could just replace the bulb) to change the bulbs I found a key. So being the inquisitive young man I was, I removed the other lens I found a 1 dollar bill. When I asked the customer about it, he said if locked out or low on gas, he was covered. Yes back then a buck would get you 5 gallons of gas. Herman

It's a conspiracy between Dish & Direct and Winegard. They got together and Winegard said, "If you two will make just a small change in you transmission causing RVer's to have to change dishes then we can sell more and will make small donations to your vast companies." STAND up fellow RVer's to these evil companies, stop watching TV. Show then we can live without them. Go out camping, build bonfires, go hiking with the family, visit friends, that will show them we can without them. (of course this doesn't apply to watching new episodes NCIS) Herman

Charlie, Welcome to the Forum. Check with different RV Salvage Lots. There a number around the country. Google RV Salvage and you may find several in your area. Best In our area is in Carthage, Mo. "Colaws RV Salvage". Good luck on your hunt. Herman

Not sure of brands, have ours done at FMCA National Rally. Small cost to have top cleaned and sealed plus having the coach washed and wheels shined. Less labor for me and I don't have to get on the roof. Herman

rp, A good cleaning and sealant is OK. Waxing is not. Cleaning and sealing will reduce the residue that can run down the sides of your coach. (Won't stop it completely but will help). Waxing will be slick and dangerous when you have to be on top. Herman

There in lies a problem. Using a Japanese Computer made in on Japan and not using a American computer made in China, Malaysia, India and or 27 different countries. Herman

Joe, do you have a preference of one additive over the another? Herman

Bill, it seems that you are not familiar with the agreement the Rio Grand Valley has with their winter Texans. "If they come for the winter and maintain their property for that period of time, the RGV won't let the grass grow or yard maintenance get out of hand." The one caveat is, is that they have to return each winter." Sounds like a win, win for both sides. Herman

Bill 1, I also travel with the traffic when possible. When driving at 62 to 63 mph, I might get 7.0 to 7.2 mpg. At 72 to 75 mph I will get approx. 6.8 to 6.9. I am not always in a hurry but feel like I shouldn't impede traffic by going 10 mph slower. Bill 2, When I was on the road for my work, I to would travel 400 to 600 miles in a day. Now after 250 miles we are looking for a Wally world or park to crash. Also we have started to explore more now. When we find an interesting area, we find a RV Park and spend 2 nights. We will stay for a night, explore the area, and spend another night before starting, out fresh, to our next adventure. Bill 1 I hope you are able to travel for leisure before too long. Herman

08, Welcome to the Forum. The two items that come to mind for me are, alignment and or tow bar height. Alignment is important when towing or not. If the tow bar is not within 2" up or down to the tow vehicle there can have issues. If the tow bar is pulling up too much it will make the vehicle lighter on the front end which can allow changes in the front end geometry. Herman
