I hate to tell people what they should spend their money on, well not really. What I will say is at the rally I was at last week we had a little round table discussion of tech problems. I was surprised how many were having problems with the coaches that needed DEF. One member had sold his diesel coach to buy a gas coach that didn't need DEF and he wouldn't have to deal with the problems of using DEF. So I would look at buying something pre DEF and pre exhaust filter. I would say this buying a newer coach WILL NOT guarantee you won't have similar problems to what you are having right now. You could have even more problems. Buying motorhomes is not like buying cars. Buying newer doesn't seen buying problem free. Yes I wish all motorhomes were made as well as my Honda but they are made more like a Yugo. Bill

Yes I love the old wives tale that ice cubes will clean your black tank. Here are a couple of videos on dealing with your black tank. I seriously doubt you will have as much agitation in your tanks as this guy gets and it doesn't look to good for the ice cube method. Bill

Both you and Carl are right. Now all we need is the Op to get back to us. Bill

Kay, did you use a sealent like this? https://www.sika.com/en/solutions_products/industry-markets/transportation-market/special-vehicles/caravan-motorhomes/01a008sa04400.html Astomer butyl sealants are a good choice for bonding. Bill

My incident happened in Miles City Montana. We were headed west on I-94 and were going to spend the night in the KOA in Miles City. We decided to get off on state 12 which is a nice road and check out some gas stations and follow it to the campground. Right on Main street at state 94 there is a underpass under the railroad tracks. The overpass is 11' 5" and the warning signs start where the road starts to dip down. I was lucky as I stopped and no one behind me ran into me. there is a road to the left that you can use to get over the RR tracks not real smooth but doable. You can save all the excitement by coming in on state 94 on the westside of town. After geting setup we went out in the toad and hapend to go back under the bridge. Traffic was bad because someone had a class A gas coach stuck under the bridge up to the front AC unit. Bill

What area will you be in before you head home? Most large RV parks usually have some storage. I would ask around as you travel. Bill

Bill, nice rig. I did see a rig last month at a campground who had a auto leveling system and it did seem to make setting up easier. Bill

What was the ratio in the 92? You can change out the gears fairly easily by finding a used 3ed member and just doing the swap. Bill

Dan, tell them they are losing business to Michelin by not offering the same range of tire sizes as Michelin. I have just bought 8 tires from Michelin because of their current policy. Bill

Joe, if there is room to move them inside that would be the correct answer. Can you get the OP a picture of how yours are routed. Bill

Yep that would make me say unpleasant things about the engineers that thought that was ok. First, when looking at the pictures I see a couple outher things that trouble me. one thing is the self drilling screws holding the support to the lip of the beam. I would replace them with appropriate length hex bolts with self locking nuts then cap seal them to prevent chafing on the nuts or put the head on the top and the nut on the bottom. The water lines could shift and chafe on the sharp pointed screws. The next thing is, what are the 2 big threaded bolts/studs with no nuts on them holding? They also look like a potential chafing point. Next tear off that foam where the hoses go into the coach it isn't sticking to the coach or doing what it was supposed to do. We can replace it latter. Can you get a picture of the lines with the slide in? I have some ideas on how I would insulate it but would like to see what it looks like with the slide in. Bill

Mike, welcome to the forum. Pictures would help. Bill

Yes they work great if you have room above the batteries. Bill

That was a nice jump from the coffey talk. Bill

South is a large area. Any specific leads? Bill

You realise this post was started over a year ago. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Where are you and where is home base? Bill

Welcome to the forum. Is it a hydraulic system? It may be low on fluid. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Have you tried to plug it back in? Bill

Nice coach. Bill

Carl, Herman is right. Richard, I don't think PPL tries to find issues but passes along what customers find. I would rather hear about issues weather it is a real problem or a perceived item or not realey a problem. Fixing a problem or negotiating the price might quicken how fast you sell it. I have not heard of verrey many complaints about PPl considering how many people are doing business with them. Bill

Like Carl said, "Call FMCA, then ask for Member Service, they can answer that for you". Better to get it from the source. Bill

deemeehan, welcome to the forum. Kind of strange that all that I posted came from firsthand experience and backed up by the TT posted rules at https://campingpass.thousandtrails.com/contract?qs=4Rule Can you enlighten us? Herman is always spot on. Bill

Welcome to the forum. That is not that radical of an upgrade. It will give you a little overdrive of 5.6%. You can compare different size tires with a tool like this. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Bill

Eric, welcome to the forum. So are the batteries off? Both sets? Were they on before/did you have 12V power before? Have you checked the batteries with a voltmeter to make shure they are charged? Bill
