What model of Winnebago have the problem with the roof peeling off if they arn't caulked often? Bill

Thanks for the link. Mostly don't need one but it is good to know just in case. Bill

That is high praise coming from an burger expert. Bill

Well Happy Columbus day 2018. Bill

Welcome to the forum and thanks for the information. Bill

Welcome to the forum. What type of heat? Propane, Electric, Heat Pumps? Have you tried cykling the battery switches? As Carl said check the charge in the house/aux batteries and work forward to the battery control box and see if you have power. With your meter see if you have power when you hold the battery connect switch down. Let us know what you find. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Bill

I was in the area last month. Atlanta and up by Cartersville. Bill

Tim, that works great if you have room over the batteries. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Glad it is working for you. Did you read what I posted earlier about getting the straps tight? Bill

Welcome to the forum. What area are you in? Bill

I am rather jealous that you have a pull out tray. I use a mirror and flashlight to see the fluid level. Several people I know use a dedicated pump up lawn and garden hand sprayer (a one gal one works pretty good) with a modified wand to add water. The key is to not over preshure the water. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I would say PPL is probably the best. If you have questions the best way is to call them and ask. (Questions? 1-800-755-4775). I happen to garage not far from the Cleburne, TX  location and have been there numerous times because they have a great parts department. They always seem to be busey on the lot. People dropping off, people kicking tires and people taking delivery. Bill

bm02tj, That made me smile because I hadn't thought of that angle. Then on the outher hand I have taken a pledge to not drive in those conditions so I would never have found that out. Bill

Like I said they sell it and make it sound wonderful. But you only get 30 days a year and after that it is "Market Price". For example in Las Vegas the market price was $125.00 a night for a place that took 3 different sites before I found one that the power worked. They don't asinge you a site they say go find one and tell us where you parked. yet down the road at the Oasis campground (much much nicer) it was $67.00 for their best site. Bill

Look on your placards and see what the max weight is for the front. You may be able to move some weight further to the front. Do a search on the web about the " Cheap Handling Fix" I almost forgot about this because I don't have a Ford anymore. I think it may extend to your chassis but I know it is on the F 53 chassis you should look Look at replacing your current sway bar bushings with polyurethane sway bar bushings. They are stiffer and reduced movement. http://energysuspension.com/products/Sway-Bar-End-Link-Bushings.html Bill

One thing you might look at is adding a heavier duty sway bar in the back and a track bar. You might look at heavier shocks. I would also weigh the truck and see what the front to back ratio is. Like Kay was saying.

Have you sanitized the hot water tank? There is a bug that likes hot water and makes it stink. Bill

I have seen the "death wobble" ahead of me and it did shake the coach pretty bad. Till the OP comes back and answers some questions who knows. Bill

I got talked into a TT (Thousand Trails) membership. At the time we purchased our Zone Pass in2014, they were running a “buy one zone, get one free” deal for $545, so we got both the Northwest and Southwest Zones for that price. The sales rep we spoke to, added Encore properties to the deal. The big hook for me was were guaranteed 7 days at the property just outside Yosemite National Park. We were staying at the TT property Medina Lakes outside San Antonio Texas for a rally. I did not realize that this place pretty much mired the rest of the parks. Older Run down narrow camp sites. The campsite was on dirt no patio no table or outside amenities. The roads were dirt with lots of potholes and rough spots. There was a water leak in the dirt road in front of my campsite. As an aside it made for some good wild game watching as there was a drought in the area. All the game came to water right in front of us. The drought was so severe the lake was dry with people planting crops in the lake bed. The lake was over 80 feet below level yet according to a couple that was next to us TT was still promoting the water sports at the park when they called about a reservation. Back to Thousand Trails. South west zone includes 6 states 18 camp grounds 3 states don’t have a camp ground and Nevada and Arizona have one each. The one that I stayed at in Arizona was an Encore Property and was one of the better places. We were parked on a big flat parking lot with hookups. It is primarily for snow birds and is 90-95% permanent park model type structures. I will say this it was one of the only places that had a readymade package of information about the area and some coupons for local attractions. North West Zone includes 9 states 18 campgrounds; 7 states have no campgrounds. Only Oregon and Washington have camp grounds. Saying you have a zone that covers 9 states sounds good but it is actually only 2 states have any campgrounds you can use. Read and understand the rules and fine print. Little things tend to aggravate like you can stay free but if you want 50-amp service that is an additional $5.00 per night. The thing that made/makes me mad is they repeatedly said this was a one-year deal and I could renew it if I wanted to. Yet they charged my credit card without my permission. They said that by singing the original paperwork it became an automatic renewal. I had asked repeatedly if it was a one-year deal and was assured I would have to renew myself or it would end. I looked and my lawyer looked it over and could find no such clause. They refunded my money and we are all happy now. Members are allotted 30 nights of free camping in any of the Thousand Trails campgrounds covered by your Zone Parking Pass. Additional nights are charged a small service fee. Members may stay up to 14 consecutive nights at any one campground based on availability. Reservations are advised, particularly for longer stays and during holiday periods. Keep in mind that even though camping is complimentary with membership (first 30 days), last-minute cancellations or no shows will be charged cancellation fees. Campers who stay at any Thousand Trails campground for more than four consecutive nights must wait at least one week before camping at another resort in the chain. The thing that made/makes me mad is they repeatedly said this was a one-year deal and I could renew it if I wanted to. Yet they charged my credit card without my permission.

I looked and my lawyer looked it over and could find no such clause. They refunded my money and we are all happy now. The bottom line is I saved more money using Passport America the last couple of years and I can travel where and when I want and stay as long as I want. I have stayed at the only Encore property in AZ and it was just a big asphalt parking lot with no amenities. Any questions just ask. Bill

Welcome to the forum. What year and model Jeep? What towbar setup are you using? Bill

The standard practise is to set the tires to the preshure listed on the sidewall till you know what the actual, at least axle weights are. Bill

When I was using a dolly I put it in a storage bay on the coach. Bill

Ge Carl, I don't care what you have at home, I am talking about the marble in this entry. Bill

Ge Carl, that is the problem with using real marble, it may not be as perfectly white as the fake stuff. I Like it just the way it is. Great job Ernie. Bill
