    Alignment

    Did you get an all wheel alignment? When I did they had to correct the thrust angle on the rear axle. That improved how it drove. Bill
  2. Welcome to the forum. What did the tecks at Newmar say? Have you called them? They might have some trouble shooting ideas. Bill
  3. No that was a different miracle toy. More like yes there is a dirt track out the back of this housing development in Conrow north of Houston on I-45 and yes you can bypass the traffic accident and backed up traffic. You will see the headwaters of Lake Conroe, some of the Sam Houston National Forest. But yes it got us around the stopped traffic. Bill
  4. I deleted WAZE as it kept sending me into places that it shouldn't, even though it was supposedly set up right. Bill
  5. Someone breazed by one that is definitely worth checking. There are supposed to be some rubber drain plugs in the tracks of your sliding windows. Those little weep holes will make a lot of noise if thee plugs are gone. Bill
  6. Welcome to the Forum. You will definitely find opinions hear. Bill
  7. Like Brett said also see if you can change the angle of the mirrors. Without seeing it, it is just a guess. Taping things will change the wind flow . Good luck. Bill
  8. The other place to check is Remco, they have been making things towable for years. If they say no then it probably isn't going to happen. Don't forget you can find nearly any owners manual online and see what it says. http://www.remcoindustries.com/product-pages/towing/ Bill
  9. Welcome to the forum. Let's review what is going on. I see some confusion in terminology. I still get confused sometimes with what different systems do. You said you (put the inverter on). The inverter generally only power some circuits. What a Inverter does is convert 12V power to 110. If you are plugged into 50 amp shore power it will just pass power to the circuits. It will not take power out of the auxiliary batteries when on generator or shore power. It does not charge the batteries. "Thought it was a GFI issue, couldn't figure it out." Is your GFI receptacle button popped out and won't reset? That leaves the converter. A converter is an electrical device for converting 120-volt AC power into 12-volt DC power. Most RVs with electrical hookups will have a converter, since many of the lights and some other accessories run on 12-volts DC. Most converters also have a built in charger for the coach batteries. The better ones have at least a 3 stage charger. Make shure power is on to your converter. Let us know what you find. Bill
  10. Richard, see if this place has anything that might work. http://www.icondirect.com/categories/RV-Exterior-Parts/Holding-Tanks/ Bill
  11. You might want to read all the disclaimers and did you properly register your tires when you bought them and have proof of purchase? https://www.michelinb2b.com/wps/b2bcontent/PDF/Michelin_Truck_Warranty.pdf Bill
  12. Mr. gypsyken, keeping in mind you are under oath. Is there anything you could have done to stop faster? Bill
  13. I don't care how deep your pockets you still cringe a little when the pump clicks past $300.00 on a fill up. I started filling at 1/2 tank or less as you used the same amount of fuel over time but the sticker shock is less. Bill
  14. I am with Joe and Wayne. The major effect I have seen when fuel prices go up is people tend to stay closer to home and stay in one place longer. Think about it which would rather put fuel in the coach (enter your mileage heare ) or the toad that gets 30 mpg. 2014 was the last time we had a spike in prices. Let's hope it doesn't go to hi or last to long. Bill
  15. That is a Escapees RV park, I would make reservations where ever you decide, probable starting now. Bill
  16. Drive to Florida, get set up, drink a cold beverage and don't sweat it. If you want to be obsessive check your CIP while there. Your tires have been doing this all along you just became aware of it. Did you know your Jeep tires do the same thing? Bill
  17. Welcome to the forum. For your first adventure I recommend a close campground or your driveway. Have a tablet and a pen so you can write down everything you have forgotten to stock and things that need attention. I think a local full hookup campground would be good so you can get experience setting up and tearing down. Being close also lets you do your setup when you are not tired from a day of travel. It makes it lots less stressful. Where are you located? If you have questions just ask. Bill
  18. I have seen home. We did east coast- west coast- golf coast. Bill
  19. I don't know, that is a individual challenge. The heist I have records on was about $4.459. I only drove a little over 14,000 miles that year. Bill
  20. Sounds normal. The tire engineers allow for the increase in preshure because of heating. Have a great trip. Bill

    ATF in oil

    Glad I wasn't there when you looked at the bottle and realised what you had done. It might have been hard on my ears. By the way welcome to the forum. I agree with the others that it would be best to change it and not run it much with the ATF in there. You should be just fine doing a regular oil and filter change. One quart in 19 isn't a major issue but does need to be addressed. Hope you had not just done a oil change. Bill
  22. Welcome to the forum. I was doing that and it works on hard/flat surfaces. The problem is they will split when on grass or dirt or just uneven surface. Look on page one at the post I made showing the "upgraded" pads. These have worked well and no more split boards. Bill
  23. Welcome to the forum. ALL OF THEM! They are all different and spectacular. The same could be said for all the National Parks. The more time you spend the more different stuff you will see. https://www.nps.gov/index.htm A fun way to keep records of the places you visit is with a National Parks Passport book. you can get stamps and add them to the book for each park you visit along with a stamp with date to show when you were to a park. https://www.eparks.com/store/category/30/278/Passport-Books/ Bill
  24. I had plenty of room under my Bounder to do the transmission oil change. If you want more you don't need ramps just blocks. Put 2 under the jacks and raise the coach then place boards under the tires and let the jacks back down if you want to. I fit under the coach with the bags down and jacks up so I am not to worried about geting caught if the jacks lost preshure. 6'2 240# so you have more clearance than I do. Use a plastic scraper to remove any gaskets that stick. It is important to use the plastic scraper so you don't scratch the mating surface as it will cause a leak path. The outher thing is be careful with the torque. That is a lot of torque for that size fastener in aluminum. I double checked the speck because it is so hi. You are ok because the amount of threads is much more than a regular type of installation. Use the torque numbers in the filter kit instructions, but carefully. I would do it in at least 3 steps.
