A bit off the topic. I purchased a replacement Anemometer from Girard. Their selling point was the Blades were replaceable. That really sold me on the unit. Th small nut that held the blade on came off and away went the blade. Guess what! they stopped making the unit and now you have to buy the entire unit, $149.95 plus S/H. @$&&&&^%%$#$!!! Herman (Colaws doesn't have one, checked last Saturday)

Thank you Joe and Carl. Carl, Drove through their lot Saturday. Lots of unit on the pre-owned line. There were a number of what looked like new coaches. Maybe waiting on delivery. Speaking of new, I wonder how long their PDI takes, 1- 2 days? Herman

38 degrees here in Miami Oklahoma with drizzle. Has been drizzle or pouring down for three days. Doesn't look any better for the week. After 55 year compromise is Bobbie gets her way and I get mine. (well some times it works out that way) We are going to KC to see Bobbies sister who has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Herman

Bobbie loves her Keurig and has several different type, flavor and brands of K cups. Me not so much. To me I personally don't care for the flavor of the coffee it makes. I prefer the coffee we have from our commercial Bunn Coffee Maker. It's over 20 years old and still makes great coffee. Herman

Carl, I believe that is Cleburne not Dallas, 2408 N Main St, Cleburne, TX. 800-755-4775. But I agree that is most likely the closest to him. Herman

Again Welcome. Answer, I doubt it very seriously. Just look at how long it took them to come up with the wiring harness (which hasn't been that successful from what I hear) and they still say there isn't a problem. Sorry just sour grapes. Herman

I go along with Carl. It depend on where you love as to how much security you need or want. That being said all the locks and cameras wont stop a thief if they really want into your coach. A side note, a friend of our with a new coach in a secure storage facility was broken into along with several other units. In taking the radio the damage to the dash and wiring was so extensive it took almost 6 month to get it all repaired. Point being, "If they want it, they will get". So lock the doors and don't park it in East St. Louis. Herman

Erniee, Does that mean you have three point where the floor has to match? 1 when the slide is in and the edges meet, and then the two edges of the floor when it rises when the slide goes out. As you said " a marvel in engineering". Lots of little things like that is why it must be taken back to Miami Oklahoma for most of the repair work to be done. Herman

Good question. I would like to see the underside of a slide to see how everything fits and works. Dose anyone have any pictures of the underside of a slide and the mechanism. Herman

I would like to see Newfoundland again. I was station there in 1957-58-59. I remember that the Roads around Argencia, Newfoundland were the pits. I couldn't imagine taking a motorhome or for that matter any kind of RV. Argencia was the only area I was ever in. I never got to St. Johns or Gander. I bet a lot has changed in 60 years. Herman

Jim, I had mine removed for a total fo $500.00. That was the deductible on my insurance to fix one of my blunders. The shop convinced the adjuster that they could not match to paint till they had the whole front end cleaned off. Don't recommend having a collision but it worked out for us. The paint under the crazed 3M/Diamond shield was perfect. Herman

Dee, Welcome to the Forum. Some good points made. It's not often I hear " I believe hermanmullins is spot-on" . Wow, thank you. Herman

Damon, That is good news about the width. However if you have a Tag then you have two tire where the treads will be closer together and there may be an issue. Tag = Possible Problem No Tag = No Problem. Good luck, Herman

Wayne, sorry that you may not be covered. I did have $1,000.00 Collision and $500.00 Comprehensive deductible and dropped to to $500/$250 for an increase of only $25.00 a year. Well worth it to me. Herman

Andy, thanks for your your report. Sorry for your issues. I have 6 G670s on the rear of my coach and plan on replacing them with Toyos the first of next year. I replaced the Steer tires to Toyos after an experience with GY. Herman

Hearthside is considered to be the best RV Resort in Michigan if not the country. I have never been there but I understand you can purchase one of the sites and they will rent it out for you when you are not using it. Take a look at their website, hearthsidegrove.com Herman

Eric, Welcome to the Forum. What you speak of on your main control panel is sometimes referred to as the "Salesman Switch". Somewhere in or near your battery compartment you will find a fairly large "off/on" switch. that may be what you are looking for. Herman

"D", Best for Chiggers is to use Sulfur Powder. I put it in an old sock with a knot tied at the top and use it to dust my ankles and bottom of my pants. The other name for locus is "Acadia". They do come out at different times each year. Around these parts we don't see a lot of them. What we do see at time are the shell or skin when they shed. But they are the same bug as in the Bible and the "Plague of Locus." Herman

Hi Mike, Welcome to the Forum. Might I suggest that once you decide on which Tow Bar you would like , to call the Manufacturer of the unit and ask for a service center close to you. Herman

Richard, I am lucky that I have an insulated garage where we keep the coach. In the coldest days it never get below 45 degree in the garage. I am sure that in "Beautiful Southern Wisconsin" it will get much colder than down here in "Windy North Central Texas". When we did store the coach in a covered, but open, storage shed, I would drain the three tanks, put some Pink Antifreeze in the darins and blow out the water lines. I didn't run any of the Pink stuff through the lines. I felt like if I blew out the lines there was no need to put anything in the water lines. With winter coming on let me just say, "Keep Cool" Herman

Richard, If it were me and I was concerned, I would drain and flush the Black tank, then add a few gallon of water so nothing solidifies and add about 2 pints of Pink RV Antifreeze. I would do the same with of Gray water tank. As for the fresh water tank I would drain it as best as you can and drain the hot water tank then blow out the water line with air on the shore water hook up. The small bit of water in the bottom of the fresh tank won't cause you issues, as well as the Gray and Black tanks, as they all it will have plenty of room to expand of it happens to freeze. If you are still concerned about the fresh tank pour in a half gallon of Vodka into the tank and enjoy dewinterizing in the spring. Herman

LVH2468, Welcome to the FORUM. I believe you are asking about putting your RV with a company that will sell your coach on consignment. There are several across the country. Two of the best in the Southwest, especilay Texas are Motorhomes of Texas and PPL. MOT is located in Nacogdoches, Texas (888) 360-3320. PPL has three locations Houston, (713) 988-5555, New Braunfels, TX and Cleburne, TX is (800) 755-4775. Good luck, Herman

Chassis manufacturers don't make air conditioners neither do engine manufacturers. Your problem needs an automotive a/c tech that knows his stuff. I had an issue with mine. I checked all fittings. All were tight except one. I was able to tighten it less then 1/4 turn. I charged the unit, no more leak and it cools like a dream. Herman

Kevin, From what I have heard some of the TT Parks are in need of upgrading while others are still pretty nice. As a casual camper I personally would not recommend a membership. However if I were a full timer than I would consider it. It just isn't practical for someone that isn't going to places to stay for several weeks at a time. Good luck with your decision. Herman

Get close and Caulk. PeeeUee. Herman
