Rich, I have been adding Power Service Diesel Kleen + Cetane Boost and I can tell the engine runs smoother and is recommended by Cummins. Joe, that is realey good mileage for that engine and weight. It gives me hope that I could do better than the 5-7 MPG I read about in some of the bigger engins /coaches. Bill

Joe, do you have a GPS to check your speed with/against the speedometer? I am running 275 80 22.5 instead of the original 255 80 22.5 That gives me about a +6% on the speedometer or it could be expressed as a 6% overdrive. I will watch my boost next time out and see what it is doing. I have found that the lower my EGT temps the more efficient it is running. When on a hill I don't let it lug down. If you can't accelerate in a gear I drop gears till I can. Then hold the RPM above the peak torque speed, with my 5.9 I usually pull hills around 2200 RPM. Ushaley if it is a 6%+ hill it is outher traffic that will slow me rather than the hill. Last year I got 9.1 MPG overall. Bill

I re read the OP and for it to act like that it would seem you have a big air leak into the refrigerator that is only letting air in when traveling. Speed = more air preshure. It should not warm up that fast otherwise. Allso test the door seals. Keep us informed as what you find. Bill

That is a good idea if you are putting a new replacement in a existing bank I would make sure it was charged before adding it to the bank. I charged my new 6 Volt batteries before I installed them. I had the time and also topped them up with water. The 4 new EGC2 batteries took over 1/2 gal of distilled water. Bill

You will find a lot of those signs are to prevent/give police a tool when people want to stay long term in the rest areas. One interesting app that I found is like the rack of brochures at big rest areas or welcome centers. It is called Visitortips.com. You will want Gasbuddy, Rest stops, and to save money Passport America. Bill

On Star has be available for nearly any car, GM or not, since around 2012. Just look at Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=onstar&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=229173535328&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8564672849771563470&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9027284&hvtargid=kwd-13485216&ref=pd_sl_3kqyrc5wzt_e_p37 Bill

Welcome to the forum. Well this ought to get plenty of responses. Personally I don't like caravaning. "Places to see?" That depends on what your interest are and how long you are going to be there. Bill

The Op may still be hammering on the towbar. Bill

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service. Bill

Tim, the first thing I would do is weigh the coach. a all wheel or 4 corner weight would be the best but just knowing the weight on each axle is better than not knowing. Bill

Who told you it was underpowered? How many diesel coaches have you driven? Have you driven the Tiffin? Bill

Rich, absolutely right. I think that info could be gotten from the engine manufacturer fairley easey. Bill

Brett, while that is true several websites that deal with replacement filters have pictures and dimensions as well as CFM ratings so it shouldn't be to hard to find a match. Bill

That reminds me it is nap time. Bill

It is always a good thing to zero out your maintenance requirements when you don't have records. Did they change the fluid and filters on your Allison? Bill

Welcome to the forum. I have stayed at Seaview Campground and would stay there again. This made a good location for us to visit Roosevelt Campobello International Park. The tides are pretty amazing. Stop at Ray's Mustard factory on the edge of town. There are several great places to eat in the area you should try. Nook & Cranny Restaurant, 575 Airline Rd, Baileyville, ME 04694, nookncrannyrestaurant.com, (207) 454-3335 One thing you want to be aware of is unless you have a phone plan that includes Canada turn your phone off till you can use Wi Fi. You can connect to a tower in Canada and not know it. The international roaming rates are scary. Bill

I am wondering if the engine in the UFO could be used in a RV? See I am talking engins. "More fun then being on a medical marry go round." I am sure I have been on that ride a lot more than I would like lately. Bill

Let's go back to the UFO. It is interesting how few are seen now that everyone has a hi def camera in their phone. Bill

I was kind of thinking it should have a "factory" stop but that is one of those things that make trouble shooting stuff un seen hard. Thanks for telling us. Bill

What did they use originally? Without seeing it, I would probably use a 3M weather srrip adhesive in the spray and in the tube. (read the instructions) I would get it where it fits good because once you start to go together you are all in there is no pulling it apart and starting over. Bill

Welcome to the forum Bill C. Everything you mentioned not working takes 12V eather for the motor or control. Have you tried using the switch to tie both battery banks together to see if you can light the lights? Like Brett said I would start at the battery bank and see if you have 12V coming out. See if you have 12V at the solenoid that ties the batteries together, 12V at the battery control center. Let us know what you find Bill C.

The tiers I took off last year looked great except one had thrown most of its tread. Brett is right the general rule is not to rotate. Bill

I have a Acme with surge hydraulic disk brakes. They work great and I would not tow without brakes. "We have just purchased a 3433 Newmar Ventana LE." So now you want to be cheap and not buy brakes to protect your investment. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Without knowing the year. The general rule is 2 valve take 6 quarts and the 3 valve take 7. Bill
