No, I ran Mobil 1 5-40 Turbo Diesel Truck until they had a $5.00 rebate on the Shell. Bill

Ray, you are right. That is another reason I am running Shell Rotella T-6 5-40 as it flows much better when cold. I want oil to the turbo as fast as possible. Bill

Yes the trolley does help to get around in town but doesn't go into the park past the visitors center. Hear is a link to a map of the trolley routs. https://www.smokymountainnavigator.com/area-maps/trolley-map/ I have used it getting around in town because of the parking, there isn't any. We have stayed out on 321 at Smokey Bear. There are lots of places not covered by the shuttle. I don't recommend driving your coach over 441 to Cherokee. The only places that I can think of where you can get buy with out a car is The Grand Canyon National Park. If you can get into RV Village the shuttle bus will pick you up at the campground. Maybe at Zion as now you HAVE to use the shuttle buses to go up the canyon. Well ok you can walk. Bill

Lots of people can buy a tank but how many can say "I made that from scratch". Bill

That looks good. Bill

Overall it looks pretty good. Why so thick of metal for a water tank? Ok ok it is easier to weld. You earned a whole beer after that job nun of this sip stuff. I use to be certified in weld inspection and reading weld X-rays. Bill

I love all the people who rationalize how great it is to not have a toad. I traveled with out a toad in a small class C with no slides. Never again. The only way it works at all is going to one campground parking and staying put till you go home. I watch people with no toad breaking camp to do anything. We drove the going to the sun road 3 times and took the tour busses. I love the people who say "well we will just rent or take Uber" good luck, I did some research on this and the chances you can get a rental near a major attraction is slim and nun add in busy time of the season and. Last summer I was in Portland Maine, we watch some one in a small class C and a short A make about 5 passes through the port area trying to find some place to park. I had a hard time finding parking for my CR-V. Bill

Well if the welds are good you shouldn't have any problem holding 3500-4000 psi. The only potential problem is in the last picture on the right side about 2/3down the bead, looks like a stop and start. Just make shure you got enough penetration. Bill

No you don't want a debit card as it will not give you the advantage on the exchange rate. Today you would be giving away +.23 per dollar or for that $1000 you would throw $230.00 on the ground plus if you do the exchange in Canada there is a charge for the service. Bill

Keep up the fight. Be sure to follow the dolly manufactures instructions because of the differences. I have seen cars damaged on a dolly with a swivel plate as they left the steering un locked and allowed the car to turn to tightly and hit the fenders on the dolly. I used a dolly for a couple of years, if you have any questions just ask. Where are you living now? Bill

Just a heads up to those traveling in Canada. Notify your bank and your credit card co. Use a credit card not a debit card to make purchases. The debit card will pay strait across but the credit card will pay the bill in Canadian and bill your account at the exchange rate. This saves converting cash US to Canadian and ending up with a bunch to swap back. Bill

On the Ford sway bar there are 2 sets of holes in the arms. The CHF all you do is move the bolts to the in board/aft holes, this stiffens the sway bar. Bill

Looks like this would be a good time to modify the filler neck to make it more accessible. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear you had problems with Cornerstone Extended Warranty's. Bill

This is about the best dry film lube I have found. John Deere Original Equipment Lubricant Spray #TY25797 This is good because it is dry film and won't attract dirt. Look on Amazon. Bill

Wonder if the OP ever got in his coach? Bill

Lubing everything can't hurt. Can you get strait on the hole that is wallowed out? What size is the bolt and what size is the hole? How much edge distance do you have around the hole? Normally I would say to just ream the hole up to the next standard size. However the bolt appears to be used as shear pin in this application. Is that the case? Can you take a picture? Bill

Yes you can. I am not surprised the places selling Roadmaster recommend Roadmaster. "if you buy used how can you confirm it's not broken?" I had the same question about my Brake Buddy so I called them and asked. They said if it pumps up air and activates it is good. They said to test it put it on the passenger seat strapped down with your seat belt. Now drive around and hit your brakes like stopping normally if it actuates it is good. There is a adjustment for sensitivity that you can use to increase or decrease how sensitive it is to the stopping inertia. Bill

Welcome to the forum FLYRSK. Thanks for reporting that. Bill

Ok Carl I typed this in Word to see what size font I am using to start with. It reports as a 11. Now I will copy and past to the forum and see what it changes it to. This was converted by the editor. When hi lighted it shows in the drop down (text size ) box to be an 8 So what do you feel we need to do to make it legible for you. Bill PS this last is at 24 and I will continue to use it just so you can see I have to get back on topic before it drains my house batteries.

Roland, I don't know about closer and this has ben a very unusual year for weather but anything from San Antonio South should be great. I include Houston in this. This includes the Texas Gulf Coast from the State line to South Padre Island. There are more golf and great restaurants than you can visit. I would talk to Carl and Tom about the area. Tom lives in the Valley and Carl has a place on Galveston Island is the roaming golfer. Bill

I would bet $50.00 you can't find where I hid a spare set of keys on my coach. Bill

Much better way is to put the COST of the warranty into a savings account to use if you have a problem. Bill

Welcome to the forum. What is your issue about using the water at campsites? I suppose you could buy the 21/2 gal or 5 gal bottles at the grocery or convince store and fill your fresh water tank. Bill
