  1. Carl, I know what you are saying however a CDL is a National Commercial License, and the CDL requirements are the same nation wide. And you are correct about the Physical, I don't know if it is every year but you do have to have one to renew your CDL. Herman
  2. Wayne is correct it is the Wiper and not the slide seal. Herman
  3. JL, Welcome to the Forum. Check you burner tube for obstructions (dirt dobber's nest). This time of year is a good time to clean them. Does it have an electric element and if so does it heat on electric? Herman
  4. Not, Welcome to the Forum. There have been several topics and post on slide, slide out then level or level then slides out. The conclusion has been it is best to consult you coach manufacturer. In your case Fleetwood. I have, in our Monaco, always leveled, put out the slides and then re leveled. As for the water coming in after a rain and pulling in the slides. Your slide seals most likely need to looked at. They may need to be adjusted or even replaced. (Ross hit Reply before I did) Again, Welcome, Herman
  5. I would check the output voltage at the new alternator. Is it new or rebuilt? It could be a bad alternate. Try turning on the key but not starting engine. Then flip the salesman switch, see if it blows the breaker then. Herman (started and didn't finish)
  6. In the old days when I busted nuts and knuckles for a living when water levels go down the exposed cell dry and when distilled water is added there will be flacking and it will settle in the bottom of the battery. When enough accumulates it will short out the plates. That is when the battery is Sulvaited. If this is the first time the levels have been low, you may hopefully be good. I would still run the test that Rich mentioned. Hope you are ok. Herman
  7. Louis & Kathy, Welcome to the Forum. I am sure we have a number of Airstream owner here, Just keep checking and besides there maybe items that you have experience with and can help someone. So keep checking and again Welcome. Herman
  8. No matter which tires you are purchasing there are some charges that needs to be added. Mounting, most places $25.00, Balancing again most places $25.00 then there is the government tax - disposal tax - plus local taxes. So you can add $60.00 to $75.00 per tire when purchasing new tires. So no matter which tire you buy, there is always, as they say, "Sticker Shock" when you receive the bill. Herman
  9. Sam, Welcome, I have a 2002 Dynasty. Mine has all ways run around 178 to 185. Does you Dynasty have a Trip Tec? We have one and I can check the actual temp of both the engine and transmission. We did have an issue one time in Colorado in some really long rolling hills. All I did was down shift to increase may RPMs and the over heating stopped. One thing a Monaco and I am sure most coaches have is a low coolant alarm. Have you checked the coolant levels? If you are not sure of the cleanliness of your radiator it may be time to get out the SUPER Simple Green. Herman
  10. Have your friend call Colaws Salvage in Carthage, MO. They purchase all types of totaled RVs. 417-548-2125 Herman
  11. Louise, Hope it is able to come together so you can have y'alls 50th Anniversary Rally in November. And Congratulations to the Crusin Cajuns! Herman
  12. Discount Tire is a very good place to purchase Tires. I use them on both my pick up and my SUV. I can guarantee if you show them the quote from FMCA's program they will match and sometime beat it. What I like about them is that you can get lifetime rotation and balance, plus road hazard protection. There quite a few locations that can serve you close you. As for Large Tires, they unfortunately don't have either the space nor equipment to handle the large tires. There are many dealers that cater to Large trucks and RVs. Although they are good in a pinch truck stop shops would not be my first choice . So my recommendation would be to get your quote(in writing) from the FMCA program and shop around. You may find a better deal or not. Good luck, Herman
  13. CR, Could you give the year of your Kountry Star. Then it would be a lot easier to help you locate the parts you are needing. A picture of the door would be a lot of help also. Herman
  14. Joe, Welcome to the Forum. I found you filter, "Aurora 436-440-0347" on their website. It measures 210 mm x 74 mm x 12 mm or 8.268" x 2.913" x 0.472'. You might try typing on Google "Aurora 436-440-0347", that is where I found. It also shows places that carry it. Hope this helps. Herman
  15. Thomas, Our chapter, Lone Star, has the election of Officers at our September Rally with the installation at our December Rally. With all that is happening now, we are still planning on having the two Rallies. If for some reason we are forced to cancel the September Rally and election of officers we will most likely have our current officers remain in office and have our election for new officer in September 2021. Good solution, maybe but that is what we think is best. Herman
  16. Brent, Welcome to the Forum. Folks here need to know what make, year and model of coach you have. With that information it will get you a better answer. And again Welcome Herman
  17. Great minds, I was thinking of Ruidoso to. Herman
  18. Sound to me like you are either low on Coolant or may have a bad sending unit. Also the same goes with lubricant(oil) Herman
  19. Carl, crossing into the US for tires may be OK. However since they will have a Canadian address and so forth I wonder if the Michelin, Continental or Hankook programs would work. I have no idea. Anyone know if those program will work in the US for Canadian Citizen? Herman
  20. Now campcop remember it's may be 112 degrees but it's a dry heat. 😅 Herman
  21. You are correct. Having been a Navy Air Dale (Navel Aviation) and not Black Shoe(Ships Company). Names were just flying through my head at that time, my mistake. US Air Force "Fly Boys" Irregardless of their nicknames each and everyone, Active, Retired or Veteran are owed the gratitude and thanks of our nation. Herman
  22. Mine broke several years ago and I left. It is on the front escape window. We park it in a secure building so I am not afraid of a break in and it is also a way to get in if we are ever locked out, we have one window to open and have a young person crawl in. I have never been locked out but have been locked in, another story. Herman
  23. Bill, "I know the fun of moving everything into your "new" RV and getting it put away and then the big "Where did I put that?" I still ask myself that question all the time and we have had our coach for 13 years. Herman
  24. "Off we go with a rocket strapped to our Butts, Flying high into Orbit****************" Kinda has a ring to it doesn't it? Herman
  25. Light load 1/4 gallon per hour, medium load 1/2 gallon per hour and 1 gallon per hour under heavy load. Not exact but pretty average. Herman Bill hit the enter button just before I did.
