Let me know where your next long trip stop is gong to be and I'll park next to you.

A PDI is no going to find items that break 5 or 6 months down the road. I have a 2008 Winnebago Destination 39W. My wife has not so affectionately named it "Citrus," to be PC. We have had more problems than little liver pills. Here is one example: (I'm going to condense this) Raised jacks. Alarm will not shut off. Stopped at Winnebago Service Center in IA. Stayed 10 days while they tried to figure it out. Last day there they said it was fixed but instead they created another problem that when the jacks were extended the "out of stroke" system appeard and the jacks stopped extending. Manual extension was able to continue. Rasing jacks alarm still on. Kwikee manual states there is a high pressure port on the manifold and it should be 1500 psi. Three technicians and a service advisor standing there scratching (whatever) and i asked, "Did you check the pressure port to see if it has 1500 psi?" The service advisor looked at the lead technician and the lead technician replied, "We don't have a gauge." They were unable to correct the sitation and after 10 days we departed for home. Dealer at home worked, at my storage unit, tryiing to identify the problem. After so many time of me telling them that it was most likely a "reed switch,' they were able to stop the alarm from not shutting off. When I asked them what they did, they stated they replaced the reed switchs (all four of them). Really! Come on now. This is the service center and they don't have a gauge that would cost less the $100 to make! They could not determine that pin 6 on the controller was not shorted to ground when the jacks were retracted? (Think reed switch open) It has been over two years now and the jacks have continuously been giving other problems and still have not been fixed. At present it is back in the shop and 3 new jacks are being ordered. Wonder why Winnebago switched to Kwikee hydraulic jacks and and electric slides instead of sticking with a HWH. Oh, they are back to using HWH I was told. More examples of poor craftsmanship, part defects, and overall poor service upon request. p.s., bad paint job in all storage compartments.

Welcome from Texas.

I have a 40' diesel pusher, towning, and I use KarGuard from Blue Ox. I never noticed any turning restrictions. Wonder what's up with that.

Why is everyone down on FCOC? It's a club, just like any other club. Some have affilations to other groups and some do not. So read the story here: FCOC Story I'm a member of FMCA. I'm a member of FCOC. I'm a member of many other clubs and organizations. I think I'll stay a member and enjoy the discounts when I need them. It was not a bad decision, in my opinion.

Are any adoptable?

Paris Island, SC; Mayport, FL; Kings Bay, GA; Pensacola FL; Charleston, SC; Ft Meade, MD; Hanscom AFB, MA; Williamsburg, VA; Cherry Point, NC. We have stayed at all of them and they were all good. I may have missed a few, but read the reviews in the Military Campgrouns revew web site. Pretty much on the spot with the reveiws. Lunga park may still be closed because of UXO. (Unexploded Ordanance) but if it is open it is a good park also.

Only $2.22 here for Diesel. Regular gas is $1.69

Roy, I think you are looking for a MIFI, which is a little device provided by ATT, Verison, or other carriers. It connects via their networks to DSL. I use the ATT MiFi when we are on the road. It is a little smaller than a hockey puck and you connect to it wirelessly from your computer(s). The thing to check on is the cell carrier you have when up in Maine. My ATT had some weak spots in NH. For MASS and on down South I never had a Problem with ATT. The device can stand alone and just needs to be charged once in a while, or it can be hooked up to USB port. Mifi will provide you with 4G coverage and when 4G is not availalbe it may drop down to EDGE coverage, which is slow in comaparison but still adequate for email and some browsing. We travel to Central MA, E. Brookfield, to visit my brother and I have connectivity there with ATT.

Jocelynn, You will have no problem on 30S and 28N to I-87. We did that a few years ago in a 40' MH towing. We were going to Central Mass. so we traveled down to 7 then to 2. The roads in the Adirondacks to and from Tupper were very good. the roads in NH and Mass were narrow in spots, but doable. My father was born in Tupper Lake, NY. When we visited a few years ago we stayed at the city park on little wolf lake. First time they have ever had a MH that big in there. We fit. Black flies should be gone by August.

I have used the Houston Cummins Southern Plains repair shop in the past and was very satisfied with their service.

I tow the sister car of the Edge, a 2013 Lincoln MKX 4 down. It has all the bells and whistles like adaptive cruise control for one. I went with Blue Ox baseplate and towbar. No problem with adaptive system with Blue Ox product. As stated, new Honda is not towable four down.

Lyle, Have you checked the outside refrigerator compartments for any signs of leakage or yellow stuff? Just a precaution in case the recall box did it's job.

It's the principle of the thing, right? I can truthfully say I get 9.1 MPG and then sometimes it drops to 8.9. Must be my driving.

I'm familiar with one in New Braunfels, which is about 20 miles South of there. Hill Country RV Resort. Passport American, indoor pool, nice hall, 1/2 mile from PFJ, easy access. Half way between San Antonio and Austin..

The Progressive Industries PT-50C has saved me on several occasions. One of the best purchases I ever made. Never leave home without it.

I tow a 2013 Lincoln MKX 4 down. Get 18-20 around town. 24-26 on highway. Prior to that I towed a 2000 Saturn Vue four down. Both are nice cars to tow but the MKX sure does have a lot of bells and whistles.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

A web site that may help: AITA OnLine low clearances can be found by clicking on the state, then low clearances. A warning: informaiton is as infomation is received. Things change. Road surfaces change, thereby heights can change. Another low clearance site: Allstays Low Clearance Besides low clearances, individual states may have other restrictions on secondary roads. We try to travel the U.S Highway system and so far we have not encountered any problems. A little bumpy at times, but so are the Interstates.

This web site is in China. They have about every type of bulb you can think of. Just search on 24v LED Bulbs Mini In The Box

It has been our good fortune to have communicated with you, even if it was just by the forum(s). Good luck in your next endeavor. Merry Christmas and a Happy, and prosperous, New Year.

Like Bill, I use the Kiley Mold brackets on the ladder, but I mounted ine so they extend to the back of the ladder and it doesn't have to be moved or stepped over to go up the ladder For the front, I use suction cups in the lower passenger side of the windshield. Doesn't restrict my vision when driving. Typically the first thing I look at walking around a park is the windshield area. Just looking for sings of life I guess, then just see signs or pets hanging out on the dash.

I don't believe the radio is a feature provided by Freighlier. They just do the chassis. Call Damon. Funny, but my coach, not a Damon, has a switch that came with it that says "Radio Service/House". I also have speaker that say "Radio/TV", but they are provided by the coach mfg, and not Freightlner

I don't know anything specific about the Phaeton but here is something that could be generic. You can check on this by calling the dealer. The steps are controlled by a current limiter switch. Even when the steps are extended or retracted there is still a current flow to maintain their state. The trickle charge from the converter may not have enough juice to maintain the batteries. In my particular case with a different model/mfg I turn the step off after I close the door. I can reach the switch through the screen opening. Ever since I stopped doing that, and one more item in next paragraph, I have not had a problem. Next paragraph. Again in my particular case, when the disconnect switch is in the disconnect position there is no charge being administered from the converter. The wiring just doesn't work that way - in my case, no trickle charge. I would like to suggest that you call your Mfg and ask questions.

I like it. Had the people been more considerate of your needs and patience in waiting for the pump the bag would not have been needed. It is what it is, and then it is what you make of it.
