I have thoughts on the "hospital type bed" for Bob Odell's coach. Many folks can understand his plight. I applauded his desire to continuing to RV with his bad back. Do they make a duel bed where each side has their own controls? With such a setup will he continue to have access below the bed, that type of bed can be extremely heavy? How will it be secured? Keep up the search Bob, hope you find a solution so you and your DW are able to see this great country of ours for a long time. Herman

Joe, Getting your DW a Taser is not a bad idea, however having two TVs and separate remotes can save you a great shock. Herman

Advise on adding the Banks Turbo to your engine has been good. When adding a Turbo to an engine not made for a Turbo gives me some concerns. I remember back in I believe 1993 Ford added a Banks turbo to their 6.3 diesel engine. The results were not good. The engine just couldn't handle it. Then in 1994 they came out with the Power Stroke, an engine designed for the Turbo, and had a very good and dependable engine. There are a number of things you can do to improve your engines performance with out a Turbo. There are tuners that you may change on the fly to give you extra power when needed. Better exhaust system. Intake filters. Of course you could add a Nitro Oxide system to give you that added boost. Good Luck Herman

Joe, Is cost the only reason you declined?? Herman

Bob Welcome to the Forum. Call Cincinnati and ask for Doug Uhlenbrock ask him if volunteers are still needed. And go from there. Herman

Thanks Joe and Neil. Just need to top mine off for now. Might change to synthetic later on. Will need to learn how to flush out the gear lube and replace with synthetic. Herman

I have called Parts Houses, Truck parts and service and REV Service in Alverado, TX. No one can answer my question so I am reaching out to the Masters. What kind of lubricant do I use in my Oil Bath Hubs? Gear Oil? If so what weight 70-90 or 70-140? Thanks Herman

Carl, If you or a tech can do the work, I would replace the unit with a new blower. If it is that difficult to get to it, it would be better the have a new unit that will last then a repaired unit that will not last near as long. Herman

keysbabe1, One thing you have that you need to keep close at hand is your keys. You have a Panic Button and when in doubt, hit the Panic Button, pick up the, as suggested, Taser then investigate. If no problem then you can turn off the Panic Alarm and resume what you were doing. It is a shame, that in this day and age we must be so concerned with the bad elements around us. Mam, be safe and keep on RVing. Herman

Joe, Have you ever thought about winter storage for your coach in another location? Say Palm Beach? Herman

Rich, I have none of what you just described but have a question that might help. In #2 "Hold the engine check switch down.". How long do you need to hold the switch after you turn the ignition key on? Herman

Lawrence, Welcome to the Forum. I installed a Samsung RF18.It runs 24/7 on my Modified Sine Wave Inverter. Got it at Lowe's. My only problem was the ice maker wasn't plugged in from the factory. Got it plugged in and not only am I pleased but the DW is very Happy. It came through my front door. I stripped all doors and hindges. I then made a light weight frame the exact size of the unit. I was able to see that I could indeed bring it through the front door. I found that I had to remove the passenger seat and the TV. If you will PM me with a phone number I can call you if you need more help. Mission accomplished. Herman

1st mate, Welcome to the Forum. I have released the step by just unhooking the drive motor assembly. It is only a little bit easier then pulling the pin. But before dropping the motor try a long rod and see if you can straighting the cotter pin and hooking it to pull it out. If you can't get there then drop the motor. Herman

Patron, Welcome to the Forum. Most folks will stay close the night before they are scheduled to arrive. This way they can dump and fill their water tanks. Also both sewer honey wagons and water trucks will be available. You may check at the information booth for details. Again welcome Herman

WindsorE, The switch "Idle Inc/Dec" are to allow you to increase your idle speed for warm up. The other, for me "??". Herman

dc, Hard wired with diodes is your best bet. No adding holes or extra bulbs. Just plug in and go. Oh wait, hook up to, then go. Herman

vrich, Hope you were able to get your bay door open. If you doors do in fact have latches with plastic plungers please do not replace them with the same type. RB Machining make replacement latches with Aluminum plungers. Check them out, www.motorhomelatches.com 661-274-1966 or 661-269-3233. And while you are at it I would replace all you plastic plunger latches. Also keep all part of your bay doors latch components well lubricated. Herman

Mthurma, See if they will put that in writing. Just to be on the safe side. Having a written document on the Dealers Letter Head, may not help but it sure can't hurt. Good luck, Herman

Wildebill, Sorry you won't be in Perry I am sure folks would have liked to meet you. Thanks for the information on PPL. When I made my last post I was welcoming' rsbilledwards,' but hey welcome to you also. Herman

Bill, It has been said to you before, but "Welcome Aboard Shipmate" Might you be coming to Perry? We are having a first ever "Meet and Great the Forum". Looking forward to meeting many 'Internet Friends' in person. Herman

j, Which chairs are you asking about? Drivers and Passengers or living area? Schoolhouse, You might contact Flex Steel. They are used in many of the Beavers. www.flexsteel.com Herman

Thanks Tom and Louise, Have missed you'll at the Rallies. FYI we are going to be in Concan, jus a bit North of Uvalde, the 18th to 21st. Would love for you'll to come. This year will mark 79, the day after Easter, and still going strong. Hope I can keep going when I and as old as Carl. (Oh!I forgot I'm older then him) Are you'll coming to Perry? Herman

When we moved to the country we got a large PO box, even though we have a mail box. We get very little mail there. Whe we are going to be gone for an extended period of time we just put hold till return on our mail. On line and auto pay works for us. Herman

10-4 Jeff, if you get thirsty there just holler. Herman

FYI in 2007 at age 71 years old I got a 20 year loan on a depreciating asset. Go figure. Herman
