I am sorry Factor, reading instruction tho being helpful, does not replace actual experience. Reading books does not make an expert. It takes actual hands on to actually gain experience. As an example, I had a good friend that would read everything about a welding machine but could not even turn it on. Please understand I am not discouraging you from asking questions but it will never help you till you have an RV and have an issue then is when someone can help.. So my advice would be to get an RV of some sort, use it and find out the issues and pleasure of owning an RV. Herman

Joe I will post the pictures here when I take some and will start a new topic with the pictures to. Herman

$$$$$$$$ We are replacing our pleated shades ourselves. I got them at Lowes. They can order the correct width and length or cut to size in the store if the colors are what you want. Had some issues on the first one (learning curve). Now I am ready to attack the rest. Less then $150.00 per window plus my labor. Herman

Lets get back on the topic. Road Side Assistance. Herman

Jon, Welcome to the Forum. The M&G Brake doesn't rely on the Battery to work and doesn't have to override the power brake booster to work. It works by applying directly the pressure directly to the master cylinder. I have used the M&G Brake for 12 years on 4 different vehicles with no issues at all. Give Monty a call at 903-675-2812. Herman

Ok now back to the OP Handicap Equipped RV. Herman

Joe, Welcome to the Forum. Roadside Assistance ( aka RA ) Only pay for the service call and in most cases the changing or mounting a tire they do not pay for the Tire. Herman

Just for laughs. Herman

When I fill up I always lower the side opposite of where I am filling. Doing this I will get at least 5 more gallons in the tank. (yes truckers look at me funny). According to my coaches spec. sheet, I have a 130 Gallon. When I fill up my trip tank will say I have 124 gallons and will stay there for almost 200 miles before it comes off 124 gallons. Any time my gauge reads 1/2 tank I begin to look for a fuel stop. Herman

Carl, to edit your signature try this. When on a topic go to the upper right corner of the page to your name. Click on the down arrow and a menu will come up. On the menu click on Account Sittings. When Account Setting come up go to the left side and click Signature. When your Signature comes up make your changes and Save. That is how I corrected my Signature. Herman

No I went into my profile and deleted my old signature and rewrote it. Thanks, Herman

A bit off the subject, the one thing I find wrong with the light weight hose are the connections. They all seem to be made of light weight and very thin material. Drop it and it will dent and never seat again. However the heavier hose tend to have much better connections. But and a big but in cold weather they are like rolling up re-bar. Now off the soap box. Herman

So true. I have recruited New Chapters through the Forum. Some were already FMCA Members and several were not and joined both FMCA and our chapter at the same time. Herman

Truenorth1 Welcome to the Forum. I know what you mean. A lot of the new hoses are very good and strong but at the same time some are so tough it's lit trying to roll up Rebar. You might look at Landscape companies. They may have longer length 1" hoses, hope fully of a less tough material. Another place comes to mind might be W.W. Granger the industrial supply house. Good luck and again Welcome. Herman

If it is just the lid could you have one made by someone with a 3D laser printer? I don' know much about the printers and don't know how strong the part would be, but it might be worth looking into. Herman

Richard are yours able to be rebuilt. Gorilla Glue does wonders. Herman

Tim, are you speaking of members of FMCA or members of the Forum? Herman

Will you be driving or flying? If I see you walking I'll stop and offer you a ride. See you in Tucson. Herman

I call Kristin and she talked to Jim. They have Paint Booth time now but not fiberglass time. Carl you are lucky that it is only scratches, they can hop on that right away. Happy New Year to you & Linda!!!! Herman

You are correct. A friend has a 2017 Entegria and is equipped with a propane Aqua Hot and he loves it. I contacted A/H and asked if there was a conversion kit from diesel to propane. ON DICE, you can change it our for a bit over $7,000.00 +. Maybe sometime way in the future. Herman

Roland, I just talked with James at Xtreme Graphics and he has openings now. He got a lot of work out and has space if you want it. He will be there till around mid afternoon today. Herman

Go to rvtrader.com. There you will find motorhomes of all sizes and configurations. You can find coaches from dealers and private sellers. You can look within 25 miles to nationwide of your Zip Code. You can find several thousand coaches there, old, new, big or small, with slides or without, and more. You may not find what you are looking for but can get pricing averages. On another note. Have you ever driven and stayed in an RV? If not may I advise that you go and rent one for a week and see if you and your spouse like it. If you do enjoy it then you will have an idea of what you want. But if you find that it is just not for you then you are only out the cost of the rental and not stuck with a $100,000 plus debt. Good luck, Herman

Roland, If you are in Lufkin, Texas you are just a short distance from Nacogdoches. There you will find Xtreme Graphics. They are as good as you will find anywhere in the country. The owners James and Jennifer Stallings are wonderful people and can work with your Insurance Company. Give them a call at 936-560-5888 and check them out at xtremegrafics.net. (tell them Herman Mullins sent you, maybe they will give me a discount on may repair in June when I have and appointment ) Herman
