Roland, You are leaving just as the weather is improving. We are talking about going back to the Ford Museum on our way East this May. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Like Kay said without 12V power nothing works. Once you get plugged in you may find the fridge will work because your system should pass 12V power to all your 12V requirements and charge the battery. Check the water level in the battery's. Bill

The best way to repair this would be to take that trim strip off. clean all the sealant off the joint(I assume there is a joint under the trim piece). I would sand about 3" on both sides of the joint. Then apply a fiberglass repair to the joint. This will get you a lot closer to the original height and the roof will drain better. What is your skill set? have you ever worked with fiberglass? Have you ever done fiberglass repair using resin and fiberglass cloth or matt? I would use acetone and a scotchbrite pad for cleaning the surface. I have never used EternaClean and don't know what a "hot solvent" is. I would definitely use acetone resistant gloves. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself I would look for a place that repairs fiberglass boats and see what they would charge. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Yes a professional inspection is always a good idea. Bill

Just a heads up for those reading this latter, earlier someone talked about overnighting in Palo Duro Canyon. Yes you can but it's a long way off the main roads and the campground is in the bottom of the canyon. The road in/out is intimidating to some and probably an hour out of your way. I like Oasis or Overnite RV Park or Big Texan RV Ranch. For those on the cheap you could look at the truck parking behind Big Texan. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Bill

True, welcome to the forum and thank you for your service. Bill

I know you go East on I-40 for a while, where do you turn North? What roads do you use? Bill

Where are you headed this weekend? Bill

Welcome to the forum. Bill

Joe is right. There are as many ways to do it as manufactuers. I am not shure I have seen any 2 the same. Bill

I am glad they are back open. They had been closed because of flooding. Congratulations on the new coach. Bill

Tell me about it I made reservations last year for this year in Maine and Ithaca NY. Some places like the Grand Canyon are hard to get good reservations period. Bill

Keep your serial number handy, you will need it whenever you talk to a Cummins parts guy. What site did you use? https://quickserve.cummins.com/info/index.html This is the same site the dealer looks at to find information on your engine based on the serialnumber. Bill

You know they sell an adapter so you could refill the small bottles off a bigger tank. Lots of videos on youtube. Bill

I have to ask who came up with this? That is about the dumbest thing I have seen in a long, long time. There is no rational reason to do roof that way. They could have A) gotten a big enough piece of fiberglass. (What do they do on a 45' coach) B cut the parts so you run them across the roof and fiberglassed the joints together. Done right you could not see the joints and it would be as strong or stronger than one piece. Is the covering on the outside of the chanel fiberglass? Bill

The only complaint I have had with the Colman I have is the wheels started to get wobbly so I tightened the screws/axels up. Well ok 2 minor things. It tends to be realey hot even with the burners turned way down. The new ones have 3 burners and may give better control. I just use the small cans of propane and don't think it uses much propane. Bill

We stayed out at Buffalo Run RV Park & Cabins because we were exploring some places on that side and some of the outher attractions in the area. We also made a day trip/exploring over to the Tetons. Bill

I would not put it back on. Bill

I would look at Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone, Montana. I haven't stayed there because I never could get reservations. https://www.grizzlyrv.com/ There is a KOA on the East side https://koa.com/campgrounds/cody/ I haven't been on that side yet. The scenery on that route is supposed to be great. Born2travel obviously has more experience in the area. Probably has a better idea on when to go than I do. I would start calling about reservations TODAY. With Fishing bridge closed the demand will be higher at the outher parks. Bill

Looks good. Bill

If you get the Webber get the one with the built in thermometer in the lid. I have done a non scientific survey of several campgrounds and rally's. It is a toss up between the Weber and the Colman Roadtec. The Coleman has the benefit of not needing a place to set it up as it has it's built in stand. https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Road-Propane-Portable-Grill/dp/B00GPEKBPE Bill

When going East from Coffey Creek stay on I-20 and follow it around the south side to I-30 on the East side of the metroplex. I find that LR is about as far as I want to drive on the first day heading out. Just across the river from the RV park is the Clinton Presidential Library. They have a walking bridge across the river (that is lite up at night ) so you could walk to it if you wanted to. Bill

What route are you taking? Are you going through Little Rock? I like the Downtown Riverside RV Park. downtownriversidervpark.com Bill

Can't be that bad. You can also drive a little faster on that road, it has a posted speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h), the highest posted speed limit in the United States. Bill
