Glad it went well. How long will you be in Cleburne Texas? I am on the road and won't be back till end of June. Just outside Cincinnati Oh tonight. Bill

Get the hose back. Take the hose to the parts store with you. When they say what is it to say "I don't know my buddy sent me to get one just like this". You may have to try a couple places but I bet they have one that will work. They also have universal hoses, just find one long enough and the right diameter. Bill

I would call Newmar customer service and see if they have any ideas. Bill

I would protect the 1/4 x 1 inch copper bars with at least some shrink tape to prevent accidental arking or shorting across them. Bill

Let's start over. Have you checked the outlet the RV is plugged into with a meter? On the 120 side I would see (if you have power to the main shore power cord)if the auto transfer switch is connecting to shore power. My default setting is to the generator. Are your battery switches on? What does each battery read at the battery with your meter? Do you have 12+ volts? Do you have 12+Volts after the inline fuse? Keep following the circuit to the battery control panel or till you find where the power stops. If you don't have 12v power nothing in the RV will work because everything uses 12 Volt power for the control boards. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I posted some links you might look at on the first page of this thread. Look and see if anything is interesting to you. Let me know what you think. Bill

Do you have 12V power? Have you checked the power at the receptacle you are plugged in to? Bill

Good job, glad you got it fixed. Bill

Hi Joe, welcome to the forum. What makes you think the readings are wrong? Bill

That explains how you made it to NM the first night. The name on the pictures link to a place in Maryland. That would have been a tough first day. Glad you are enjoying your new toy. Bill

I wouldn't mess with the misters. Just learn to drive it using the manual shift arrows. The biggest thing is "if you can't accelerate in the gear you are in drop down till you can." Your governed RPM should be 2600 RPM. When you find the gear you can accelerate in keep your RPM around 2400 RPM. This will help to keep your engine cool. The econ button is good for slight hills and keeps the transmission in a higher gear longer thus improving mileage. This also drives up EGt and water temperature. I have driven that road with my little 5.9 ISB with nearly as much weight and didn't have a problem. Bill

Yes, absolutely if Remco doesn't think it can be towed I wouldn't try. Bill

That sounds like the plan. Bill

What is a on-road? I think it was 3 years ago I drove I-15 from Shelby, Montana to Victorville, California. Yes there are some grades that could be a problem if you don't know how to drive them but I didn't have a problem. I didn't think it was all that bad. Bill

Newmar has a couple models with lifts. There may be some one doing upgrades that could add one. Bill

Nice coach! Bill

Lots of solar and at least 4 Lithium batteries you can run a air conditioner. Then you get to collect the free water. Bill

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

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

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

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

Where did you buy it?

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

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
