Making it Personal - Do you have an RV Motto?
wildebill308 replied to Rewillia's topic in Type A motorhomes
I just thought of a good one. Eat well and travel often. I have always liked the one Roosevelt had for the Rough Riders, "There is no place as to far and no such thing as to ready." Bill -
Welcome to the forum and 2018. Is it the whole paint job or just the shield on the front? If it is the whole paint I would be deducting the cost of a good paint job from what they want. Or I would be looking else ware. Bill

Jim, does it crank? does it crank as fast as normal? Can you check fuel pressure? Have you changed the fuel filter's? Make sure all the electrical connections are good including ground. Let us know what you find. Bill

Well at this point I would use these apps to try and find a place. https://www.rvparky.com/, and http://www.rvparkreviews.com/ To start looking That area is prime Snowbird country. I would also look in the Rio Grande Valley (Texas) if you are looking for warm places. Let us know what you find out. Bill

Another good point. Bill

Ken, that is a good setup. I like to run a little water to flush out the campground pipes before I hook the hose to my carbon filer. I have gotten some nasty water when first turning on the campground water. The other thing I didn't see mentioned was a pressure regulator. Bill

Are your jacks hydraulic? You may have low fluid causing the alarm. Bill

New Mexico, Carlsbad and Albuquerque Areas
wildebill308 replied to LynnCumbie's topic in Campgrounds
One thought, stop in Little Rock at the Down Town RV park and visit the Clinton Presidential library. clintonlibrary.gov Now if you don't want to do the Pigeon Forge area, how about the New River gorge area Canyon Rim Visitor Center, 162 Visitor Center Rd, Lansing, WV 25862, nps.gov, (304) 574-2115 Bill- 44 replies

Turbo Failure on Caterpillar Engine
wildebill308 replied to charlesholman@comcast.net's topic in Engines
The gage you are looking for is a Exhaust Gas Temperature Gage or EGT. The sensor is installed in the exhaust before the turbo. I won't drive a (diesel) coach with out one. They provide a wealth of information on how your engine is performing. Bill- 31 replies

You can look at the difference using this tool. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ with the 275 tires you gain 1.8 mph at 60 so you have a little overdrive. Bill

I think it would be a good idea to set the ride height so the bags in front are at the exact same height. This is what I think is happening. When one bag is higher it is carrying more weight. They may be the same pressure but the taller bag will start lifting the weight on the front faster than the shorter bag. This is why the first thing they do when working on the front end is to adjust the ride hight. Bill

Yes one of the only ones I have has that I thought was edible. Bill

Turbo Failure on Caterpillar Engine
wildebill308 replied to charlesholman@comcast.net's topic in Engines
Depending on how cold it is I would run the block heater from 2-4 hours before start or if riley cold overnight. I would replace the thermostats with the proper temperature ones. By the way Cat calls them "regulators". "Had to clean the CAC and Radiator" This should be a at least yearly maintence item. The furnaces can't put moisture into the air if it is operating properly. The combustion chamber is separate from the air going into the coach. Cooking, showering and any open flame will add moisture. No heat pumps don't put out heat below about 45 deg. Bill- 31 replies
