I have enough left over for lunch tomorrow. Everything was good, the fries were hot and crisp and good sides. Bill

Headed back to Texas. Staying at Campus RV Park tonight. Been here before and went to eat at a local bbq place you should try if in the area. Named, A Little BBQ Joint. This was my order. They had the ribs and 3 sides on special for $21.00. Bill

I have used the ladder trick before. Be aware if/when working with the units they have lots of razor sharp edges. Just be very careful to ground the old capacitors before you touch them. Well you won't forget again if you get bit. Bill

I haven't seen it quite that hot but a few years ago we were in Phoenix visiting my sister and it was 113 for 3 days. The weather forecast did me in. The forecast for Phoenix was more of the same and hotter. The forecast at The Grand Canyon was 74. We left for the canyon the next day. Bill

Tell me a road that doesn't have rough areas and areas under construction. I drove I-40 from Amarillo to ABQ about 3 weeks ago. I didn't have any big problems. Today I drove I-94 from Bismarck to Fargo. Nice road but 20+ miles of construction. Not a problem though. When the road gets rough slow down and enjoy the view. Bill

Welcome to the retired club. SLOW DOWN!!!! You are retired not on a rushed vacation. Like Carl said 2 days is not enough time in Big Bend. You have plenty of time to get to Florida for the holidays. Bill

No it's blue. Well it has been 2 years so far and it looks like new, well a little dirty. I can't believe someone would spend $100.00 on a coil cord. Bill

Are there any marks on the dipstick? I would be happier if it was closed to the middle. Have you cycled the jacks a few times? Bill

Welcome to the forum. Interesting old coach, does it run? Bill

So I messed up buying a replacement coil cord on Amazon for $26.00. Bill

Came across something interesting at the Cummins Onan display today (in Minot). They had the new portable generators on display. The small one is the P2500i. It is a Digital inverter gasoline unit. It has 2200 running watts and 2500 peak watts. That means you have 18.3 running amps and 20.8 peak amps. Lots of features and quiet. It also has a couple USB ports and is capable of being paralleled. The price is about $698.00 The big brother is the P4500i Digital inverter gasoline unit. 3700 running watts or 30.8 amps and 4500 peak watts or 37.5 amps. It is capable of being paralleled and has a remote start feature. The price is about $1050.00 If you need a portable generator they are definitely worth a look Bill

Where are you leaving from? That is a good days drive from the border to Moncton NB nearly 300 miles. Bill

I bet you have a dirt build up on the front of the CAC and on the front of the radiator. I doubt it is a problem with the coolant (as long as the level is right). You may need to manually downshift when the temp starts to climb. This increases water flow and fan speed. Bill

Look up the Granite Staters to. http://www.granitestaters.org/ We did a rally with them a couple of years ago on the coast at Moody beach. Bill

RVguy, Welcome to the forum. Bill

Well if you know it is the relay you should be able to get a part number off it. Bill

The rising water will motivate you. Bill

Navigator, Welcome to the forum. As you just got it and don't know the maintenance history, I would change the fuel filters and add a double dose of Diesel Kleen. Then drive it around locally to see if it helps. Bill

I got my account at a walk in facility in New Hampshire but they have on in Maine. http://www.maineturnpike.com/Contact-Us.aspx Bill

I know but I still don't hear of a lot of tickets being written for being to long. Bill

It has been a couple of years but it is not a bad road. It can save some time getting to Bangor Lookes a lot like US-1. Just a heads up US-1 is ok in the coach US-1A only in the toad. Bill

If it stayes in and it is that small amount I don't see a problem driving it. I have a bedroom slide that will stick out that much if you don't sometimes give it an extra bump. See you in Minot Bill

That is a good place to start. I would check the TBN scores to give you a better idea of how the oil is and how it is holding up. The outher thing well 2 things Don't change the oil till you have the report back and try to find out how many miles since the last oil change. The reason is if you change the oil before it comes back and the sample results are out of line/not normal you can't do anouther sample to verify there is a problem with the unit or just a bad sample. Like sticking the sample tube into the crud in the bottom of the pan. The reason you need an idea of how many miles since the last oil change is it will affect how you should interpret the results. Any questions just ask. Bill

Wayne, We have stayed at Smoky Bear Campground and RV Park, smokybearcampground.com Not fancy kind of tight but is easy to get to from the East on 321. It savs fighting all the traffic in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg in the coach. Bill

Keith, make shure nothing has gotten stuck between the seal flange and the coach. Have you tried to run it out and back in? Bill
