Happy Thanksgiving! Glad you got it fixed. Bill

There is so much variation it would be easier to go to the county website and see what it is. When you are looking at land, try not to give up the mineral rights. Bill

And what is your point? I will continue to use valve stem stabilizers. You have not convinced me that I am better off without them. Have a great Thanksgiving. Bill

I agree, Kerrville would be a excellent place to settle. Bill

Come on down you will feel right at home. Bill

Wow, thank you for your observations. But I don't drive on a glass smooth surface. The roads I am on have tar strips potholes bridge transitions rumble strips and generally rough surface. I am pretty shure that if it vibrates the entire coach it is causing the valve stems to bounce around especially if you have a TPMS sensor on the end of it and unsupported. You might shoot some video and prove me wrong. Bill

Erniee and herman are right. Just pay attention to where you buy and don't buy someplace in a riverbottom just because it is dry right now. The outher phrase is "if you don't like the weather just wait a little because it will change. Bill

I got my pass at a walk in store in New Hampshire. When I tried to do it online they insisted I needed a commercial pass. When I did the walk in they didn't require the commercial pass. I think there is a lack of consistency in the rules and how they are interpreted. The nice lady at the counter made the point 4 times that it wouldn't work in Florida. Where is the tireman? Bill

Wayne, go online and see if they are charging you the car rate or RV rate when you move the transponder. Most transponders are registered to the vehicle. Would hate to see you charged the RV rate in the car. Bill

I saw all the people stranded on the roads and the George Washington bridge. Bill

Roland, I wouldn't tell someone I didn't like to live in West Texas. You should definitely look at the hill country. I would also suggest one of the smaller towns around the Fort Worth area. This gives you acess to first tier medical facilities without living in the "big city". Starting with Denton to the north of town, Roam, Azle, Weatherford to the West. Cleburne to the South. To many to name all of them. I think of Fredericksburg to be the heart of the hill country but there are many good small towns in that area. The good thing you are not to far from San Antonio. Is there any "must have" items you are looking for? Good luck in your search and keep us informed. Bill

What are you talking about? What hassle? You call a campground you are thinking of using that is listed as PPA and ask about it. If it doesn't fit your requirements either book a space or call someplace else. Bill

Nice, I like the fuel mileage. Bill

"Best solution I can offer other than not using toll roads is to sign-up for EZPass or similar electronic auto payment of the tolls. In the past, for East coast travel you would need a number of different accounts and multiple transponders to do the auto-pay but now there is a single account available through North Carolina that covers 18 states." Well EZ Pass has been around since 1997 and if you look at the website it states. "With an NC Quick Pass transponder, NC Quick Pass allows for interoperability with toll facilities in Florida (SunPass), Georgia (Peach Pass) and all states that use E-ZPass." So it is just North Carolina's version of EZ Pass. There are many roads (they are adding more all the time) where you stay to the right and maintain speed as the transponders read your pass. Richard, There was a Federal law passed that all toll systems would be interoperable in 2016. Well that hasn't worked so good I found this statement. "Sharon Adair, a vice president at the Alliance for Toll Interoperability, says that when it comes to interoperability, despite the appearances, "great strides have been made in the last 12 months." Within the next six months to a year, she expects clusters of states to allow drivers to travel on roads without having to switch their transponders. "Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma, as well as Florida and the East Coast, are all working toward this seamless travel experience," she says. In the near future, toll authorities expect the regional hubs will establish relationships with all other hubs that will allow recognition of virtually all tags and accounts nationally, according to Neil Gray, director of government affairs at the International Bridge Tunnel and Turnpike Association, a trade group that represents tolling authorities. But he says motorists have to be patient." Till they get it sorted out I will have my Tex pass and EZ Pass on my windshield. One thing to add. I was told by EZ Pass that when I was towing my car to remove the transponder and place it in the shielded envelope. That way it is billed as a "Trailer" at a lower rate than the car price. So far it does seem to work that way. Bill

Richard, Look at the 295/80R22.5 it is a little smaller than the 315 and according to this calculator spins at 491 rpm to the mile. It should help with clearance problems to. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Bill

The difference would be so small you couldn't tell. More like new tiers over worn and a change in air preshure. Bill

I am for the self insured camp. I have heard to many horror stories. of them denying coverage over minor issues. Then you are out the cost of the insurance and the cost of the repair. You might consider finding a good teck to do a inspection. I am betting with the low milage and if you are diligent in doing maintenance you should be ok. Just as a example I have a 2003 coach with 91,000 miles. in the last 6 years I have replaced the convection /microwave $425.00 and a air conditioner fan motor. $118.00 and one air hose for about $275.00 (road side issue.) I think I would have some money left in the bank verses $6294.00 for insurance that doesn't always cover everything. Bill

Have you looked at the Continental pricing? I have been happy with my Continentals, I did save over $100.00 each over the Michelin pricing. Bill

Good, glad it was something simple. Be sure to get plenty of the sanitizing mix in the hot water heater. That is the most likely place for the smell to be coming from. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Like Brett said. ADP. I am surprised they didn't want to sell you the Scotchguard for the furniture and carpet. I bet anything they can do you can do it better and cheaper. Just curious how much is this amazing wax? Bill

We are having our first freeze to. Mid 20s last night may hit 32 tonight but upper 60s by Friday. Bill

I am going to bet on the 2 stage regulator. I think Brett has a good idea in using 2 ball valves so you can isolate either tank. That way you can run on one tank till you need to take it to be refilled then just switch to the outher tank. It will still be automatic in that you will automatically change the tanks if you are cold. Bill

Welcome to the forum. If the smell continues try sanitizing the system especially the hot water tank. There is a bacteria that loves the hot water and produces a strong odor. Do a search there are several threads about it. Yes, checking the screens is a good place to start including the ones on the faucets. I use a filter on my water inlet (city water) The blue "Camco 40043 TastePURE Inline Water Filter" helps reduce bad taste from the water. It also keeps the silt and outher junk out of my system. Something else I recommend, ok 2 things, Camco 90 Degree Hose Elbow- eliminates stress strain on RV water intake hose fittings. You need a water preshure regulator with a gage like this one. "Esright Brass Water Pressure Regulator Lead-Free with Gauge." https://www.amazon.com/Esright-Pressure-Regulator-Lead-Free-Adjustable/dp/B075RRCWGD/ref=asc_df_B075RRCWGD/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=242006903502&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17411269382575160732&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9027284&hvtargid=pla-395827532630&psc=1 Let us know what you find. Bill

I don't use one as they can cause damage to the paint under them when dirt/dust gets under them. Acts just like fine sandpaper. I think it is anouther product like the vinyl/plastic coatings that are supposed to protect the front of your coach. I have a 2003 coach and don't have enough chips and dings to worry about. This is in the same class as the protective devices for the toad. Bill

My best advice is to put the money in a savings account. Bill
