The lots in Colorado are absolutely packed with inventory. How does one go into winter months with few sales come out ahead. I think ever since Marcus has taken the rains it has been an insidious slide downward. Internet sales have taken a huge chunk out of retail sales. I agree with Brett and the others over leveraging has sunk many a ship.

In this country we are very good at KNEE JERK reactions. Common sense should be a part of this. I am in agreement that a single incidence sometime in the past is not going to inhibit my exploration of this country. I might give a second thought or more at staying in an isolated area like this vrs someplace in Colorado or New Mexico. If the perpetrator has not been caught, who is to say who did it. This country also has a very short memory so it will fold back in a short while.

I am certain two is fine. The key in this is as Brett alluded to would be the environment one is most commonly in. If in a humid climate change more frequently and a dry Arizona climate much longer.

Agree 3 year change for element. My unit I installed as the coach did not have one and should. Replacement cartridges for mine are Baldwin. I have yet to get it off it is on so tight. I will have to remove and disassemble.

I am insured through Miller Insurance an advertiser on this site and a rally forum purveyor. Insurance is with National General coach is a 199p SMC Panther w/$500 deductible is $1088, two Featherlite trailers @$400 and a 2004 Jeep Wrangler $345. I know an older coach but insured for a specific stated value. Overall increase this year $154

Humm, the impact of including towables on the magazine and this forum has not been nearly what I expected, so a lot less aggravated about it. Yet Chris has some valid points. I went a different route and followed Carl"s advice since I like a deal and bought into the $300 extended membership before it goes away. Janet says what if something happens and you can not drive, I get to read was my reply.

All good stuff, now I suggest you join Safari Friends @Yahoo groups at "subscribe_safarifriends@yahoogroups.com" It is the largest and oldest of the Safari oriented forums with a terrific files section dedicated to the SMC, Oshkosh and Monaco built Safari coaches coaches. There is also a very nice private , closed group also Safari oriented on Facebook with some 700 members.

The "Still in Training" is going to last along time and might be considered a new hobby for Linda, Carl🤣🤣

Yes Carl...there is only one difference between the two, one is RED and of course you knew that. the other difference inconsequential to this is the untaxed price.

Frankly I doubt it is that high. Case in point the lug nuts on your coach maybe 1 1/2 inch and special studs about 3/4 to 7/8 of an inch in diameter. Typical torques 400+. is the U bolt any where near that size.... Easy enough to discover call Roadmaster.

In ten years, in Colorado High Country, 2 coaches 1999 and 2001 C12 and 330 3126B CATS, sit outside, full tanks of fuel with shell covers. Batteries watered up and fully charged and plugged in. I have never started engines nor generators till spring. They have always started with in a couple rotations. Both generators under 300 hours one starts on second rotation the other half a dozen as from day one. As Bret and Richard suggest...let common sense prevail

Nothing to installing them any tire shop with and impact and ability to lift can take care of the job. I used the coach jack set up AND A PILE OF BLOCKS worked fine. NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

I have tried to slow down🤣 I know I know hard to do but it works...Glad to know We are not the only ones with this problem...gotta show this to Janet... B

Beaver, Living as we do in the West it is a spectacular place. You, obviously having not visited the West, it is going to be even better. But 15 days to get there, see and return is completely unrealistic, only because you have no idea of the of what you will encounter. Pick one place of what you suggest and enjoy it. The remaining will still be there for a much longer visit after you realize the magnitude of the West and it's expansiveness. From where you are, stay kinda north on I 90 and visit Mt Rushmore, South Dakota, or the Tetons and Yellowstone if time allows. It is another two days driving to Utah and the National Parks. In any event, it will be tough to accomplish and do it and your family justice enjoying what you find. Next time allow 1 to 3 months if you can . It is not like going to an amusement park it is far better!!!

I second the last NICE! looks great!

Carl, are you down to one coach!?

A lesson to future buyers if they look at this site or if you post it on Facebook and other sites.

The washer won't go out a side window? it will in my old Safari Panther. Getting it through the bedroom door. Took the control panel off, slid it through put it back together and out the window it went. I agree not a great time of the year to send it back.

Water holds more BTUs than a pile of rocks as I recall. So a full tank of water will keep the lower bays warm for a bit in a situation as described. Small volumes like the water bay will obviously freeze much faster.

It is highly unlikely that they are directional on any OE coach much less otherwise. Maybe on a Lexus or a Porsche

I agree get an ARP if you are a boondocker or want to be. If not and you are generally plugged in then do a residential unit per Herman

I just looked on Amazon Mityvac 6400 246 dollars

Paints are so good today, it will begin to fail long after you add more profit to the dealers bottom end.

The best and to my knowledge the only effective manner to eliminate air in an ABS pump is to pressure bleed it. Vacuum bleeding does not pull enough fluid through the system fast enough. Pedal pumping once the bleed hose is full takes forever and a whole lot of fluid if one is ever successful. Effective pressure bleeders are expensive and the one I have lower end was 300 something but works great. mitivac.com in spite of the name it is a pressure bleeder.

What is wrong with yours, replacing can be pretty expensive. I had mine disassembled and resealed, look and act like new for a fraction of the cost. Knowing what coach you have would help
