  1. Rick,

    Welcome to the Forum.

    Any Class A under 36 foot should fit in most if not all State and/or National Parks. Th coaches you have listed are all good Coaches. I tend to lean towards the Monaco. Any Monaco before 2007 should be a good one. In my opinion, and just my opinion, all manufacturers went to h#@% after 2007 and haven't done too well in recovering. What with Bankruptcies, DEF, Regeneration, Particular Filters and sooo many buyouts it's hard to tell who's on first.

    Good luck with your hunt, and again Welcome

    The best way I have found is Elbow Grease and don't let them stay on the front of you RV.

    One thing that helps me is that I put a good wax on the front of my coach. I will from time to time use an instant detail on it, something like Slick Mist or Maguire's .

    The front of the coach is the only place I use Soap and Water. I will hose down the front and scrub the front with a very soft bristle brush, rinse and repeat. I can take two or three times. When I have finished and dried the Front end I will  again apply some instant detail. I am sure other folks have ways that they clean LOVE BUGS 😝 off so lets hear from them.

  3. Just to let everyone know, the FMCA Office will be closed Thursday February 3rd due to the bad weather that is expected in Cincinnati. They are predicting several inches of ice and snow and have advise people to not travel. Having been there I can understand Chris and Rett wanting our employees to stay safe.

    It is likely that the office will be closed on Friday February 4th also.

    Everyone stay safe and warm. I quote our Treasurer "Check on your neighbors".

  4. You can find a dealer and installer if you follow the instructions, see Step 3.

    HOW CONTINENTAL WORKS

    Step 1: Get the specifications for the tires you need to have replaced. At this point, the program covers only motorhome tires.

     

    Step 2. Use the specifications to find out which Continental tire is a match.

    You can do this by calling Continental (704-583-8196) or the FMCA national office (800-543-3622), or by using the pricing tool at FMCA.com. This tool is extremely helpful and will give you pricing for every single tire that matches your search. Use the Tire Savings Calculator to get available tire pricing in the size you need.

     

    Step 3. Find a local Continental dealer who can do the install, and set up an appointment.

    Also let the dealer know which tire you are looking for. That way, you can be sure the dealer will have the tires in stock and ready for your appointment. You can find a list of dealers at www.continental-truck.com/truck. From that page, select Dealer Locator in the top right corner.

     

    Step 4. When you go to the dealer, show them your FMCA membership card.

    You will pay the dealer directly for the tires and installation. Keep in mind that Continental quotes only the tire price and federal taxes.

  5. Yes, your 2022 Canyon has a Steering Wheel lock. What they are referring to in turning the ignition of is putting it in the Accessory position. Chevrolet and GMC have gone back and forth on the Steering Wheel lock.

    If it were mine, as soon as the warranty runs out I would pull the wheel and remove the locking pin (there is no law saying that you have to have a Steering Wheel lock). Then you would be just like you Colorado.

    Enjoy you new truck.

  6. Welcome to the Forum.

    In you panel in front of the tire on the drivers side there are two solenoids. With the key on both solenoids should have power on both large post on the solenoid. If one doesn't have power on both post that is the bad one. It is an easy fix and lots of folks carry spare solenoids because it is used in several places. Be sure that the solenoid you purchase is a 12 volt continues unit.

    Good luck and again Welcome,

  7. Might I suggest that you can find dealer that participates in the Michelin and Continental programs from the information on the tire program. You can even find pricing, then you can take that pricing and check with some tire shops. Some times they can meet and sometimes beat the pricing. The pricing you get from the program is only for the tires. The price in and around my area runs close to $25.00 to mount each tire and an additional $25.00 to balance each. Local taxes and disposal fees are added on. If your tires are in not too bad shape you might even get a small amount for the old tire as trade ins.

    Shopping is your best friend when buying tires.
