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

Should be unless you are going down some hi center dirt road. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I would be looking for a different shop if they don't know where to buy/have fabricated a hydraulic hose. Don't let them tell you it is hard to find or expensive. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I would talk to someone who can give you better answers as to cost. I would talk to Texas Custom Coach and get a better idea of cost. http://texascustomcoach.com/ Carl probably has the boses home number. Bill

I have never had a problem switching to a quality synthetic regardless of mileage. Current coach started with 48,000 miles now around 98,000. My oil analysis reports look realey good. I would run nothing but full synthetic in any Ford V-10 a 0w20 would be my choice and recommendation. Bill

Well back to what I posted June 28. Meleconn you might want to read it. I seriously doubt that a sunpass will work north of North Carolina. Someday but not yet. I haven't had any bad charges and I keep checking. Bill

Have you heard of or had any experience with Triangle? Bill

DickandLois, That is still good advise. lt1093, Welcome to the forum. That post/thread is almost 10 years old. I have never seen many people having catastrophic problems with the V-10. I think it is one of the most durable engines out there. You can't over rev it as it has a governor and is designed to be a hi revving engine. The onley detractor I can think of was the early engins with the short threads in the spark plug holes. That problem is easily repairable. Bill

I would start at the batteries and work from there. I bet it is near or in the battery control box. Find where both battery cables come together. (house and coach) I am betting it isn't far from the batteries because it will be a heavy duty wire. Bill

Still a popular place to stock up. Been there numerous times. It is a bit far from Texas but hay. Bill
