Very nice. Just need one more thing. A pad right next to it for visitors. 😀 We were in NOLA (well Belle Chasse) until the 16th, then Lafayette for 4 nights. Missed you, but not on purpose.

Everyone knows! It was getting a pushed jump start.

Had them on the last 2008 MH and they were fine. Considerably cheaper also. When these need changing I'll go to the Toyo.

press and hold the enter button and the retract button at the same time for over 5 seconds and see what happens.

Yes, when the cover is off their is a safety switch that opens or closes and the system will not run. If you want to run it with the cover off you have to depress or somehow push that switch. Another thing is that the antifreeze that is used is not your typical bought antifreeze from an auto-store. There are two colors, pink and green and they should NOT be mixed. Did your system come with a refractometer? It is one way to make sure the glycol is the proper proportion.

Eric, Use a turkey baster (don't tell wife) and if the fluid is hot remove enough to get to the hot fill mark. Then as Herman stated check the solenoids. My conversation with Rudy Leggett of Houston, Aqua Hot expert, AND Aqua Hot customer services, the system needs to be run every 30 days (or as Herman stated up to 45 days) and at the same time turn the thermostat in the coach up to exercise the heat exchangers. This will ensure a long life. (Supposed to anyhow) By running every day, turn the burner on and let it cycle at least once. On start up you'll hear a whine and then a poof when it ignites. Check the exhaust and feel for a steady flow and no diesel smell. A diesel smell indicates a partially clogged, or starting to clog, nozzle. The clogging happens when the system is not run regularly. The residual diesel around the nozzle will gel causing the clogging condition, According to Rudy, if they are exercised like they are supposed to be exercised they should go 2 and maybe 3 years without needing service. I'm still going to work on a shorter time frame for servicing.

Mission Bell has not been reviewed since 2017 but it was a 7.7 out of 10 then with 2 good reviews and one bad from 2015. I'd throw the bad one out. RFSod, please post a review in RV Park Reviews after you have stayed there. It helps us other travelers.

Care to elaborate?

Texas City Disaster Yep, Killed over 500 people and injured over 5000. When the Grandcamp exploded residents went to the dock area to watch the fire and firefighters. Kids were let out of school to go watch. The Grandcamp's anchor was blown across the city. Another ship, the High Flyer also exploded because of the Grandcamp's fire and a ghird was destroyed. The High Flyer propeller, it is huge, was found over a mile away. Some old time videos: Texas City, TX 1947 Explosion Parking lot 1/4 mile away from blast.

Richard, The dealers will tell you that you don't need any other license but a car license, just to sell you any RV. My first Texas DL test was in 1984 when I retired from the military. So many things have changed in the handbook since then that I almost don't recognize it.

After the 1900 Hurricane, Galveston was raised 17 feet at the seawall and sloped downard 8 ft per 1500 feet. Some house were raised 11 feet. Source: The Galveston Raising

Dic.k, nice work, you are truly a craftsman. Check in frequently and tell us how it is going. Welcome to the forum.

It was 72 here today, tomorrow will be 74, then a cooling spell then back up. Earlene had cabin fever last month so we are now in NOLA.

Fisherman's wharf and other's in the area. Don't know 'bout Don's. Where is that?

Unfortunately I don't have any window that anyone could climb through. They are all to small. Herman, I need a reminder to put down the Antenna so the ignition key goes near the Winegard controller. I also have a little red cord that I slip on the top of the steering wheel. It hangs down to remind me to retract the jacks. Someone mentioned the brake button. I took a piece of PVC, cut it to length, cut a trough thru it and just snap it over that little yellow button. Brakes cannot be released without taking the PVC fitting off.

Moody Gardens is another place to visit. In Texas City at the Grey Hound Park is a festival of lights plus some rides. If the weather is nice it is worth the $10 (was last year.) All the places bill stated to eat are good. On the mainland, Texas City, Gringo's Mexican Food. If you want less expensive Mexican go into town and Taqueria Valencia and Taqueria Jaliance (Sp on both) Also is Grand Prize BBQ and it is good. Further on up the road off the Interstate is Masa Sushi if you are into Japanese food. On the other side of the highway is a Gumbo bar and I enjoy the heck out of their gumbo. It is next to a 5 Guys Hamburger joint. If you have never had a 5 Guys you need to try it. Here's the kicker - travel East on Hwy 646 to Hwy 3 and turn right. You are in Dickinson,TX, and just down the road about a mile or so on the left hand side is "The Fish Place," and you can get all you can eat catfish and 2 sides for around 12 bucks, Whe you leave there just take hwy 3 back to I-45 and Galveston. They have a diverse menu. If we were there we'd put on a lunch or dinner for you but hey, we are going to enjoy New Orleans food. For a quick and cheap buffet we enjoy the Golden Coral in Galveston.

That is a nice CG. Did you wave at me as you passed onthe I-State? Did you get held up going West? When we went bu there was about a 10 mile creep and crawl

Eric, Don't know why you use the dead bolt. We never use the dead bolt. I have a 2015 Tour 42QD, sister to yours and it has the remote controls for compartments and bottom lock on door. Both the dead bolt and the lower lock are nothing more than to keep honest people and kids out. A large screwdriver will will pop open either of those locks with little effort, or pop the door itself. Also, mine came with 3 keys and one key opens all, including bays, except the dead bolt, I have two on me. one is on the key ring in my pocket and goes where I go and a detachable key from that ring. That is the one I use for the ignition and when we stop and satellite antenna goes up it goes next to the Wally as a reminder to put the sat antenna down. The set my wife has goes in the glove box of the toad. Keyless entry to the TOAD so we can get to it anytime.

Carl, so true and in every organization, civilian or government.

Thanks Joe. We lost our 2008 MH to Harvey and the insurance was good to us...otherwise.. The chrome is a nice touch. The also have LED lights on the front that goes down the inside of the opening to the generator compartment. Each leg is 21" long and is in a "\ /" shape. I took out the "outside kitchen" for more storage space. The outside kitchen slide out of the compartment and had a 1 burner induction top, a small refrigerator or freeze (owners choice of which switch to press) and a small roll up compartment. The burner in my opinion was to close to the side of the MH and I would never cook bacon or other splattering items on it. Roland, We are staying one night at that KOA in Scott. They have a new back section that is real amiable to long RV's towing. Billy's Boudin and Cracklin are just outside the RV Park. No eat-in, just take out.

As Richard stated, would be nice if you included your unit information in you signature line. Always nice to reply to a proper configuration. Different manufactures treat the charging of systems somewhat differently. Winnebago has a Trik-l-charg system but it will only charge the batteries when both disconnects are in the ON position. So go figure, eh? Also my last MH only had a 600 watt inverter and if the steps were left in the on position it would drain the batteries even if plugged in. You can't go wrong with an automatic charger hooked up to your service batteries but you need to find out if you can charge service and house batteries at the same time.

Prior to MH's I had a 5er with two AC's. I used to plug into the 120v line in the garage. I could run one roof top AC but if I turned on a vacuum cleaner it would blow the breaker. So any time we wanted to clean it up we would cool it down and then turn it off to vacuum.

I fully understood you. I had seen that same information from last Spring. I was surprised when I "Google" it and came up with the web site so decided to call and see if I could get verification. FMCA does have a deal with Kiley Mold so ordering though them goes to Kiley. I don't know what goes on between the upper echelon and businesses. Just the facts, just the facts.

Richard, just for you😀 and as an unofficial announcer here it is: I spoke with Denny Kiley this morning. He returned my phone call from the message I left. They are still in business and here is a link to their web site Kiley Mold The previous link I posted was directly to the brackets. Dennis stated that they are not "full time" in the business but they are still operating on a part time bases and answering and filling orders. Pass the word!

I have not been in a situation with the newer to us MH that I had to run on 30A.
