  1. Nice ride. Happy trails - Happy wife, happy life!
  2. What do they say, "Ignorance is not an excuse?" We may have reciprocity in driver's licenses and inspections but not in any any other areas that I know of. If a state wants to restrict to 55' then it is their law and violating it will get you a ticket if stopped.
  3. Mike, as Brett stated using the hose is a good way to sanitize the hose at the same time. Before starting remove any whole house filters you may have. Use 50ppm which is about 1-1/4 cup of Chlorox - not bleach - Chlorox. Don't use a funnel as it will keep backing up, just slowly pour the Chlorox into the hose with the far end connected to the water inlet. Fill the tank, shut of the water, run water through each of the faucets until you smell the Chlorine and let it all sit for 4 hours. If you know you have a sanitized hose then after removing the filter pour the Chlorox into the filter housing and put it back on. Happy trails.
  4. I recently had a dilemma regarding ESP's. We lost our 2008 to the flood of Harvey and we were purchasing a new to us used 2015 MH. The dealer put on a good sales pitch and we seriously considered it, and then I read the "limitations." The 2008 had been covered by the GS ESP since we purchased it and it has been a good plan. I called GS and started doing some comparisons and I have ended up keeping GS even at a little higher price. Over the past 9 years GS ESP has helped us through some troubling scenarios. Today I just finished talking to GS representative by the name of Christina. She is a licensed agent for GS and very knowledgeable regarding ESPs. If you are interest in the GS Pitch send me a PM and I'll give you the number and her extension. I am not in business with Good Sam and here may be many more ESP's out there similar, better, or worse.
  5. Had a "stop engine" and MH shut down. It was Sunday. Soonest a tow truck could get to me was the next morning. I was in a safe place and spent the night in the MH. Next morning, early, two truck arrived. I had arranged with GS to tow it to the Cummins facility 40 miles away. I asked the tow truck driver what it would have cost if I had to pay for it and he replied, "$750.00" I'm still with Good Sam.
  6. Charles, you are looking for the stroke of the piston. On my recently drowned 2008 Winnebago it was 17 inches. The manual should tell you, or call the Mfg of the jacks and they will tell you the distance. As for low voltage, do you level with the motor running? If so and you still get low voltage I'd ask how old the batteries are. Could be one or more are going "south."
  7. I also carry two 15 foot sections and a 5 foot section. I have used all three once. One never knows until the paper work is done.
  8. Use cruise control and move foot. Sounds like there may be air getting into the output vent causing condensation. Tough job but look for any tears, or openings in the vent line.
  9. Funny thing about it is Carl understood every connotation.
  10. We found one and as soon as the deal is finalized I'll tell what it is.
  11. Dummy wants to know why drive has 105 psi and tag 95 psi. Don't tell me you ran out of air either.
  12. If I had baloon ties on it I would still own it. Insurance finally paid off. Why is there so much less air in the tag tires.
  13. ha ha! spare coach is gone. Insurance company finally paid us and the finance company so we are free and clear right now. Hey Fagnam, thanks for the update and happy to hear it is fixed.
  14. If you have a spare of anything you will never have another problem with that item. (Remember Murphy's Law?)
  15. I never had a problem with my on-board compressor filling the tires to 110 psi, never. Yes, I have done it several times.
  16. I don't worry about what the TPMS says I inflate accordingly and use a calibrated gauge. Then I look at the TPMS and it will always read differently. From that point on it is nothing more than a reference and if something does go wrong with a tire it will notify me according to the values I set. Any gauge is really nothing more than a reference point, even the calibrated ones but they are real close to being correct. Reference point is all I need. If I set a tire to 110 psi and the gauge reads 108 psi then when the gauge reads 108 psi i know there is 110 psi in the tire. + or - 10% from either value is only about 1 psi difference. Just a reference point. It's still frustrating that the TPM can't be more accurate.
  17. Happy BD Navy Mates. USMC was 1 year later. Must be it didn't take as much time to train us.
  18. If it didn't come with a turn table it will still work as it is designed that way. Many of the older models were higher heating output and did not require a turntable to evenly distribute the heat. it is my understanding that a "Half Time" oven cooks using both the microwave and convection therefore cutting the time in half for cooking. A microwave/convection oven will use only one at a time. Using microwave the magnetron is engaged (think radar) and in the old days they used a TWT (Traveling Wave Tube). The first units that could be called "Radar Range" the counter top "Radar Range" was first introduced by Amana. The microwave oven is dated back to the mid 1940's. The convection oven has been around for a long time. It is just an oven with a heating element that forces air around the food with a fan. I'm sure you have been in stores where they have a "Table Top" oven. It has a heating element top with a fan on it pointing into typically a glass container. Food is place on racks in the container, the top is placed on and snapped down and when power is applied the heating element comes on and a fan forces the air evenly around the food. I purchased one of those in 1986 or abouts and used it at work. Put Chicken. steak, vegetables on the rack all at the same time, turn it on and come back 40-45 minutes later and everything was ready for a table of 4. Metal utensils can be used in a convection oven but not in a microwave oven. Our first "Radar Range was in 1980 and was an Amana.
  19. We used USPS a couple times. What they did was pack up the mail in one of their boxes and mail it to the address we gave them. They would send it out on a Wednesday and we always received it on the following Friday. When we left that address and headed home we just put a hold on the mail, picked it up when we got home and started service again. Never had a problem but most likely that can be different from geographic post office to post office.
  20. Here's the scoop. We have Progressive with replacement value. Yes, a little more expensive but worth the extra peace of mind and remember we live in a hurricane area/flood area. Harvey totaled our MH. We have the full replacement up to 5 years but after 5 years it is what you paid for it. The difference is that up to 5 years on a new one you get one of similar value from the same manufacturer that it was purchased from. After 5 years they pay you what you paid for it. We are in the latter category with our 9 year old coach, so after payoff to financial company we get what is left over and had it been paid off we would have received the full amount - no depreciation. Other companies offer the same, or GAP. Worth the extra. Our new coach will be a new used coach so we will only have what we paid for it replacement. Worth it to us. We no longer own a motorhome but that will be short lived and only a week or two away - searching, searching, searching.
  21. We have had progressive for 10 years. Two years ago we had a hail claim and Progressive out out $19,000 for repairs. My deductible is $250. This year Harvey flooded the area where my MH was located. They totaled it and although I have not seen the money yet it is going to be more than I ever expected. My next MH will be through Progressive.
  22. If you are not "at fault" it should do nothing to your insurance, the other persons insurance should pay for it...Who got ticketed as driver #2?
  23. Punxsy, they have them at the Freightliner Camp in South Carolina (Gafney, SC) Some info here on https://www.fcccrv.com/owners/camp-freightliner/#camp-freightliner-overview-2 Well worth the visit and a good check up while there.
  24. MacRee Ford, I-45S in Dickinson. TX was flooded real bad and they said they were going to crush all their cars and trucks. I'll tell you that there were hundreds of vehicles on that big lot. Hey, once South of the Border they will be straightened out and sent back to US. (Notice not an abbreviation)
