  1. suncruiserwhale, speaking of forums have you looked at this one? you may be able to pick up some details specific to your coach. https://www.foreforums.com/index.php Bill
  2. Glad you finally bought some tires. That is just a little more than I payed out the door for my 275/80R/22.5 LR - H Continental tires. Bill
  3. They do, the condensate drains out on the roof and runs off. I did see something on Youtube where they were talking about ways to extend time dry camping or "Boondocking". They ran a drain line down inside the rv and caught it in one of those collapsible plastic 5 gallon containers. They could extend their stay by using this water for non potable uses. Verrey "green" environmentally friendly. I can't find the link right now but if I find it I will send it to you. Bill
  4. https://www.nps.gov/oreg/planyourvisit/maps.htm Good idea, but much like the old route 66 mostly gone from useful travel. That is why I suggested I-90 (The Mass Pike) it goes all the way to the cost, all the places I mentioned are reachable from it. Why, there isn't a maine road that should be a problem. Bill
  5. Welcome to the forum. That Foretravel is a nice coach. I am just to spoiled I like my slides. I have been over to Motorhomes of Texas a couple times to look at one. Now if we could get together on price. Bill
  6. I may need to keep better records. All the lower 48 in the last 6 years. I will need to do some checking but may be closer to 3 times for a lot of them and places like the North East 4+. Leaving next wednesday for Maine by way of Derborne. After we are through in New England I have to get back home and get ready to go to Minot then west. Yes DD lots to see and do. Bill
  7. I have ben west several times with the coach since I retired. When planning I use 50 mph as a standard/average. It is hard to make suggestions without knowing what you are interested. Really there are years worth of things to see and do going west. Like Joe said it depends on the time of the year what route you take. For starters you can just get on the Mass pike and go west. That will take you to Seattle.😄 Start with what have you seen or want to see along that route? Have you been to the Falls? Have you been to the Corning Glass museum? Have you been to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn? Mount Rushmore,Custer's last stand, Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Glacier National Park. If you don't want to go to the coast you can drop south to Utah and see all the parks there. Arches, Canyonlands (all 3 sections) Zion. I liked Golden Spike National Historical Park. They have the same engines that were there that run up the track and reenact the meeting of the railroads. All that and the coast to. No seriously did I get carried away? I haven't commented on I-70, I-40 or I-10 then you have the main north south roads.😁 Bill
  8. Look at Dinosaur Electronics. They make a number of boards. https://www.dinosaurelectronics.com/ Bill
  9. Tim, beautiful coach. They are out there if you look. How was the trip home? Bill
  10. I would just install drip rails to keep it off the side of the coach and away from places like over the door. Bill
  11. That tank suspension system is more prevalent in trailers, but there is a distinct lack of quality across the board. Bill
  12. Help me out here, what part of my suggestion is not "permanent"? I think you should go buy the Tiffin Allegro Bus you want and then you can come back and ask about how to clean the clogged drain lines. 😁 Bill
  13. I agree with you. Glad you got it fixed. Bill
  14. That is a good one. Look at the one I have in my signature. Bill
  15. The slide outs can wait. Take care of your wife we wish her a full and speedy recovery. Bill
  16. Welcome to the forum. I just adjust the level so it runs off the back left side. Bill
  17. Cleaning and polishing are nice. BUT (big BUT) if the flame doesn't stay on? HeatherRourke, You can find a lot of parts on Amazon. Bill
  18. Yes it looks pretty empty in the view on google street view. That could change with a few randomly spaced cars parked around it. Get a toad. Bill
  19. I would first change the thermocouple per my poste above. Yes the burner tube could be cleaner and there could be some plugging of the orifice. The big problem is it isn't seeing the burner is lite and shuts it down after the end of the timed ignition cycle and displays the error. Bill
  20. Richard, Good luck with that. I looked at it on google street view. You might get lucky and find enough space to park your rig but I wouldn't put any money on it. This is a classic example of why I don't leave home without a toad. You give up to many opportunities to go and see and do. Bill
  21. I am going out on a limb here, but it could be the thermocouple is bad. That is the tube glowing red in the picture (over the burner) or better known as "that little stick thing". This is what tells the control board that the flame has lite. The continued clicking of the igniter makes me think that may be the problem. "It all stops and the fridge goes into the error" this is because it is not geting the signal that the burner lit. Bill
  22. Like Ernie said, the slide motors take a lot of "juice" When you try the slides are you on shore power? My owners manual says to have the engine running to operate slides. Bill
  23. You can try this. Switch the harness unplug the one that works and see if livingrook works with that controler. Bill
  24. This is generally called a baseplate. They are specific to the car, year, model, all affect the fit. The brackets connecting to the coach is the towbar. There are wiring harnesses that you can use to connect the lights. You will need a auxiliary brake set up like a Brake Buddy. Like Kay said you can find towbars and break systems used for good prices. I would tend to recommend a new baseplate. They take more abuse and are hard to find that will fit exactly. I found a 10,000 pound rated Blue Ox bar and a brake buddy on craigslist from some people who had sold their RV. I had the towbar rebuilt and certified by Blue OX at a FMCA rally for about $30.00. I had the baseplate and lights added as part of the deal when I bought my 2014 CR-V. I personally like the Blue Ox setup because when you arn't towing you have to look closely to see the setup. Let us know what you find. Bill
