Welcome to FMCA and welcome to the FMCA Forum. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Help us out, what generator do you have, Gas or Diesel? If you put your coach and other information in your signature it will help to get good answers. See my signature as an example. You should have a owners manual in your big bag of documentation. However as a short cut I will recommend what I have ben using with excellent results. For my diesel generator I use Shell Rotella T-6 5-40. The same oil I use in the main engine. When I had a gas generator I used Mobil 1 15-50 full synthetic. Now with some of the newer oil's I would run the 0-40 or the 5-50 because it flows better when cold and protects better. Let us know what you find out. Bill

Isn't that the truth. Bill

Keon, I have had people say they would pay not to ride with me. Bill

It (the exhaust) would be hot enough to burn you if you touch it. You probably won't see a flame unless there is a window to the heat exchanger. Look and see if there are other heat vents and that air is coming out. Hopfualey hot air. Bill

Who knows with out better information we are just guessing. Could be the duck's are not connected. If the exhaust is blowing hot then it is going some ware maybe the basement or up behind the refrigerator. Bill

I bet it is the air ducts, either blocked or kinked not letting the air to flow freely. Bill

Congratulations Herman. Bill

Herman you are right. Has he given up on Nacogdoches? Bill Nacogdoches

I have ben happy with my Blue Ox set up. I had the dealer install the baseplate and lights as part of the deal on my CR-V. Bill

Are you back at Pipe Creek? Bill

I got tired of trying to figure out all the variables on the Michelin program and went with the Continentals and saved more money. Bill

Rich, I can't find one listed either. However in the pictures there appears to be a cold air return under the refrigerator and a hot air duct under the oven. I would be calling Forest River for more information. Nice looking coach 2010lexingtongts. One more thought, make sure your thermostat is on "gas heat". Bill

That is a nice coach. I hope you were able to get the new 6 speed transmission. The V10 is a great engine but it is designed to make it's power at higher RPM so some are concerned that it is revving to much. Don't worry it has a built in RPM limiter so if you wanted you could drive it with your foot on the floor and not hurt the engine. I would keep my RPM up when climbing to stay closer to peak torque. The newer coaches are doing a better job of insulating the front to reduce engine noise. Bill

This isn't something I would try to stock pile. At an average of 50 deg. it has a 36 month shelf life but it drops to 6 month's at 95 deg. This includes what is in the tank on the coach. If you have temps over 100 it drops to just 2 months shelf life. I would be carful about how much is in the tank in the summer time in the south west so it doesn't go bad. I got this from a Ford memo to all Ford Lincoln dealers dated November 7, 2013. Lets hope the info Jim posted is more current. Bill

Why not call Blue Ox and ask them? http://www.blueox.com/ They had a crew at Chandler this spring doing maintence/repairs on tow bars. I didn't ask about installations. Let us know what you find out. Bill

Blake, I suspect that a lot of the problems with the "city" water filling the tank can be traced back to hi water pressure. I always turn on the water to blow out the hose and any rusty water/sediment in the line before hooking up. If you read the fine print in your rental agreement they all require you to have a water regulator before hooking up. Bill

Welcome to the FMCA Forum. The "I get cool air for a few minutes" part is normal as Brett said it has to go through a purge cycle before it will light the burner. It should blow hot air after that. I would check the things Brett mentioned and make sure the vents/cold air return are open and not blocked and let us know what you find. Bill

Yes it is, yes it is. The standard is there is no standard. Bill

No I haven't, I am more inclined to put that money in a fund for possible upgrade. As RSBILLEDWARDS says check with the different RV salvage yards for a replacement. There is a company that advertises in the FMCA magazine that makes covers for the dash if it is the vinyl on top that is detreating. Bill

Roland, Have you talked to any of the paint shops that can do this? I think you are closer to a full repaint than you think. There are several levels of quality all the way from rattle can to the paint on better coaches where the graphics are sunk into the paint so you can't feel them when you rub your hand over them. I would also check on replacement vinyl graphics. After you get a price on paint you might think the vinyl looks pretty good. Bill

I am with Carl, on this. I bought this coach to use and use up. I don't use the campground bath house or some rigged outside shower. I do not go traipse off to the campground bathrooms in the middle of the night. Bill

Well just a late update. I had no complaint with how the new tiers rode on the last trip of about 6,000 miles. The only change noted was as stated earlier they are slightly larger diameter than the original tires. My GPS correction went up to + 6.6%. I have to say I am happy with the new Continental program as they saved me a bunch more money than the Michelin program. Bill

Perhaps if he filled out his profile and added information to his signature he will get better info. Till then it is what it is. PPL is still the best place. Bill

I would think it would be better to work smarter rather than harder as you get older. I have used a inspection mirror and light to find the date code and my cell phone to take a picture. Now yes I did lay down on a well padded cushion for a lawn chair it was nice and comfortable. Or you could take it to a good tire shop and pay them to do it. Bill
