Phil, look at Gas Buddy, I would avoid buying Gas in PA as it is higher than Ohio or NY, actualey I would fill up before I hit the PA line headed east. Last cheap gas. Is your Bounder gas or diesel? Adding coach info to signature helps get better answers faster. I had no problem geting fuel at the service plazas on the thruway. Bill

Carl, at the 2 places I used on the NY Thruway-I-90 I had to run the card with an estimate of my purchase. No problem with the card I rang up $300. each time. They only charge your card with what you pump. Just go back in and get receipt for what you actually pumped when done. They could do a better job with the truck pumps but it is what it is. Bill

What size are they? steel or aluminum? 16" or 19.5? Bill

Look in the front on the firewall over the generator. Bill

I never had a problem on I-90 at any truck stop/rest area I used. I can't find any "Oasis" rest areas on I-90. Where are you starting frome? Bill

Well I am kind of the poster boy for this issue, 2003 coach a little travel stained after 11/2 months on the road. I have not been questioned about my coach. I am in the world of "seasonal" camping. Currently in VT. was in the Watkins Glen area. That place had sines all over marking areas seasonal only, Keep Out. It is just the business model. Bill

Well if they would make people fill out their profiles before they can post on the forums it would stop some of this. Personally, I am looking for someone to pay me to drive my coach wherever I want to go. Bill

I to am wishing her the best. Speedy recovery so you can travel. Bill

That looks like a nice place. Bill

Glad they were able to help with your Allison. I know you weren't to happy with it. Bill

Well it is a start on the move. Bill

Well now in Vermont, at Lake Champagne RV, 53 Lake Champagne Dr, Randolph Center, VT 05061, lakechampagne.com, (802) 728-5293. Those people who claim there are no hills in the east need to follow the roads I was on today. I decided to cut cross country rather than use the interstate's. Very interesting and scenic.

Yes Carl, the college has parking lots but you need permission to park in one. Joe geting into the Watkins Glen / Corning KOA shouldn't be a problem 414 is a good road. I would have made my reservation there but it is further from Ithaca. One outher thing make shure you make time to go to the Corning Glass Museum you won't regret it. Bill

Joe, I haven't been in that KOA but if Carl says it's good it must be good. I am looking at a place to stay next Memorial day for Granddaughters graduation from Cornell. My need was to be close to the school. We are currently in Spruce Row Campsite for the last time. I can't recommend this place to anyone. We have reservations at Pinecreek Campground for next year. Drove over there and it is much nicer. The only negative is the road into the campground is not to good steep hills and 10mph turns. The good news is it is close to the college. Bill

Well shifted the location of my condo again. Now down near Ithaca NY. Took a side trip to Watkins Glen. The Glen takes a little work but is amazing. On the way we saw a small sine that said " waterfall so decided to go look. Well Montour Falls is quite spectacular. There are a lot of waterfalls in the finger lakes area. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I used a Acme tow dolly for a couple of years before I bought my curent 4 down setup. I know what it says in the instructions but this method will prevent loose straps. LOADING YOUR CAR ON THE DOLLY When you load the car on the dolly stop with about 2 in between the tire and front stop. Place the hold down straps over the tires. Now place the car in neutral. Now tighten the hold down straps. The reason for doing it this way is the straps will not slide on the tire. This allows the tire to rotate forward and take the slack out of the back side of the strap. After the straps are tight you can put the car in park and set it up for towing. Make Shure you set the car up based on the dolly manufactures instructions. Some need the steering locked and some like the acme need the steering to turn. Not doing this part right will cause damage to your car. One other thing is be aware the dolly tracks outside the track of your Coach. You need to be aware when turning corners or just going down the road. Your coach might be in the smooth travel lane but the dolly might be off the right edge running on the rumble strip or hitting the lane markers. Watch your mirrors and you can get the hang of it pretty easy. One bonus thing keep the ends of the straps tucked in out of the wind as they will fray and unravel and make them difficult to use. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Just need to ask why you need a covered site? Bill

You might need 2 wraps. Bill

The extra material is removed and stored before you retract your awning. Bill

You are correct Carl, however some jack company's call it out by name. I think it works more as a cleaner. I use the dry silicone to reduce how much dust is attracted and sticks to wet type lubes. The best lube is the same hydraulic oil as is used in the system. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I couldn't find anything that works like that(rolling up in the awning tube). I would look at a sunroom to give you more shade. Something like this. https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/search?categoryId=&query=sun+room Bill

Welcome back. Bill

All hydraulic jacks need the shaft cleaned and lubricated, especially if they have been extended for very long. Some have a grease fitting that needs a little shot of grease to make them work properly. I think that the jacks like the rest of your systems benefit from frequent exercise. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately I don't have your acess so I had to make my pads. Where are you we might drop by and pick up some spares. Bill

Just shift into neutral from drive only. Check the owner's manual for his year and model. Bill
