  1. Gear down until you hardly need your service brakes. As you learn your coach you will know the gear you need. If in not sure go lower gear and then go up as it is easier than over speed and heating your brakes.
  2. When I bought my rig the last owner never looked after the two year old tires I replaced the steers for my own piece of mind the drives looked good so I took the four tags and the two steers to a Bandag retread shop they inspected and ground four tires sized in pairs then ran another four years on them before replacing
  3. Not in the RV in the service as it comes into the property they are connected to the same panel in different locations inside the first disconnect panel They are talking about testing the power source not the RV

  7. The way I understand you have to be properly licenced at your home and you are good The rig has to comply with the State or Province regulation you are driving in
  8. Poor air flow bad TXV or low on freon will cause it to freeze up A plugged condenser or bad fan in some cases can cause high head and also higher amperage to operate which can help cause freezing

    Unusual tire wear

    I had that happen on the two steers and four tags the four traction tires where still good and only two years old I replaced steers and had retread shop pick four tires and grind round and equal then ran for three more years If in doubt replace and keep close eye on wear be safe You could have tire shop trade with two rear tires
  11. Tires on plastic or wood and preferred off the ground asphalt and concrete suck the oils out of the tire and sitting in one spot long term is not real good

    Dead Battery

    I copied a post off net Diesel engines have a very high compression ratio e.g. 22:1 and require more powerfull starter motors. On average they draw between 300 and 500 Amps for average sized car engines 2 to 3 litre while on truck engines the current could easily reach 1000 Amps at initial turn over.Feb 27, 2008 It is the momentary inrush amperage that is needed
