We too and it will not happen soon enough. We plan a minimum of 3 months. Look at the Fantasy Tours for places to go. We are going to do it with no more than 3 total.

Why do you want to buy something that is under powered if you have something that is already under powered, just more of the same? There is a lot of stuff out there that is not. Just curious...

Well do not ask me haven't the foggiest idea...it is a Detroit not Cat...you know if it is Yellow it is a CAT if not it is dog.

Yes Herman they do and so have I many times, and carpet tooo. As I was thinking about this. If the panel is rigid, which it appears to be Styrofoam"s PL300 is suitable. Comes in a tube for a caulking gun it says "bonds foam to a variety of surfaces". Good luck

Test what ever glue you use as some/many are not compatible with the Styrofoam. Many will burn as in melt the foam. You could also "try" weld wood contact cement if you have a way to spray it. I have used gallons of it over the years but do not know if it will burn the Styrofoam. Call Styrofoam and ask the tech people what glue to use if the suggestions here do not work.

I get the message loud sand clear. Had not thought of that one Herman. B

Yea Carl you are just not as fast as you look, I got it right away too even though missing one letter. Doesn't always work that way.

I agree with Kay, Remove the screw as it will work it's way into the air chamber. I do not believe it is necessary for a patch as there is no leak. Just remove so there is not one. If it in fact it leaks after you remove it, yes patch inside. Good luck

It took a little looking and yes the mirror, drivers side is turned in rolling down the road. What can they be thinking or??????????busy having a good time? It was a photo op! GOOD CATCH

Speaking of running over debris on the freeway. A huge chunk of semi tire removable tread in the left lane for me to run over. No place to go as there was traffic on rt side. I tried to move over a little and it went under the left front and came out the right rear. It hit the suspension airlines and the secondary fuel filter. Now dead in the water. Took the car off the trailer went back 25 miles to O Rieleys and got a, Wix 2 micron filter, lucky me, put is on, fired it up and discovered the torn up air lines. Well I carry a smal coil of air line and Slip to connect fittings. The whole episode cost 1 hour. As has been pointed out It is nuts to drive side beside or directly behind any other rig be it a fifth wheel, a trailer, a semi setup of any kind and people do iy all the time. It appears to be music to their ears that thump, thump, thump of a tire getting ready to leave. Baybe they are waiting for an adrenlin rush. No you are not sick nor alone

Check your pedestal power breakers.

Boo Hoo nothing for so old a coach as mine, 1999 and still in the dark...

Very interesting guys Thanks

My bad..My apologies [.I failed to answer the time question...I would fully expect the Crowns or Trojans to last 8 to ten years assuming the charging system is working correctly. This is going to depend on the Inverter/charger and its charge settings. I switched my inverter to MAGNUM in order to get a charging cycle as recomended bythe manufacturer. The original Xantrex was not easily changed nor was Xantrex willing to help with oit a lot of back and forth. It takes effort to have them ;last like this expectation. but I have time and am as yet unwilling to spend for the AGMs. I think the technology will improve and we are still on the front end of the curve. Just sayin...

Currently the best on the market are U.S. Built Crown. I have used several sets of Crown 260s in solar installations including my own. A hot second would be Trojan 105s. Beyond that it is anyones guess. In the case of house batteries weight is you friend= power.

Guess that answers my long unasked question and a pair on them sitting in the tool box. When I got them my feeling exactly. Thank you for asking the question and J for answering

Good, Welcome to the Forum, the country is your oyster and is absolutely full of surprises.

Roger, Hard one to answer since we have no info on the coach, type, year and so forth. What is more we are not parts guys where the part number would mean something. That said the pumps are pretty generic and for the most part are very interchangeable. Fittings are the same in most coaches and with minor changes other pumps can be installed very easily. The pump information about it's input requirements and out put requirements are on the label unless it is missing could be perhaps of some help. There are much better pimps out there that supply much better water flow, GPM. Otherwise take it out and go to a n RV supply house like Camping World and proccure one, at least use that trip to identify that it is either an unusual model or that infact the current designs is useable as the fittings across the units are very universal. Then I would go home and get on the net and find it for less money on Amazon. You could Google it and maybe find it for even less. Either way look for free shipping so your costs are held to a minimum. Hope this helps, but take some time and complete yout signature with info about your coach so we all know how to be more precise. Note below mine B

The way to check simply is to climb up top, the panels should have a connector on them. Disconnect and with a volt meter, rake each lead one on one wire and the other lead on the other wire. You shold get a reading of something. Now you know with nothing in between what the out put is. Now you need to find the charge controller. Same procedure on the out put as described for the panels. There will only be two poins out. Look and see if the are a couple loose wires in the battery compartment not hooked up maybe it is as simple as that.

Take 160 it is a beautiful drive and I just was there a week ago with a 43 foot Panther towing a loaded 24 foot Featherlite trailer. 42 MPH most of the way up with 7,800 pounds following. It is not the pass it was 30 years ago or even ten...

The differences in price can easily be explained to some degree. All of thes after market units are being produced in Tiawan and some are better in fit and finis than others. By being in the collision business one would know the better from not so. But as long as they do the job....Shop SHop Shop for the best price. Yes once you kano where they came from a piece of cake, not always. Try carid.com as well B

Call Miller Insurance, they advertise on the front forum page...great folks and a great job... Yes I think you maybe but as Carl says need more infol Hey what do we know, no matter we are just guessing anyway... B

On my units torque is 70 INCH pounds not very much. Do not tighten one all the way. Spread the force gently all around.

Carl, Your coach has a sway/lean in the long highway curves or leans when you make a curve, not a 90 in city traffic??? There is a solution. My Panther leaned a lot particularly in long turns and more so if a little to fast shortly after entry. Source Engineering makes a restrictor valve to install each bag that reduces the sway and lean appreciably. B

I am at the moment tied into CoachNet. I had a problem with the Powerstroke Ford and the same sort of thing...only to nearest qualified shop...friday Pm late, Ford dealer closed till Monday. They would not tow to my shop in Denver. Will leave them and re-evaluate GS and AAA. I now again have AAA on the small cars and have been a member of AAA for years. I added the coach to them at one point and when i got home discovered they did not switch me to program that would also include my trailer...WHAT...that is when I went with CoachNet...mistake tooo. Alll the fine print easy to miss the details.
