Herman call Cowser Tire service at 1700 NE Loop 820 Call and ask for Chuck Frymire at 806-577-7342. see if they can help. Also try Kristopher Davis at T&W 817-338-420, Cell 214-837-5261 Also look at Premier Truck on N 820 http://www.premiertruck.com/ Good luck. Bill

Did you try to start the AC again? If it doesn't start I would pull the shroud and see if the fan motor turns freely. Look for burned /discolored wires on the start capacitor. Let us know what you find. By the way welcome to the forum. Bill

Yes an "all wheel" alignment is a good first step. My rear axle was out of alignment by quite a bit. Bill

Well stated!!! Bill

Personally I think any more discussion is not relevant. The management is so confident it will pass they are already inviting towables to the different Rallys and functions. See page 91, 93, of the October issue. Bill

If you know the spot is to small why did you park there and damage your coach? Bill

Welcome to the forum. I would spend a night in your driveway. Make believe you are at some remote campsite. Have a notepad so you can write down the things you forgot or decide you need. Then work the list before the next trip. Then on the first actual trip I recommend a short trip, long enough to get some practise driving but not so far as you are tired when you set up camp. Trust me the first trip and setup will be stressful enough without being tired on top of it. One outher thing, when taking glamor shots of your coach run the slides out like the dealers do. Bill

The ones I have are the more yellow/brown and lock together with thee same connectors as the one on the couch. I should start taking notes and of all the odd locations of sewer openings I have seen. Bill

Camco makes several good hoses. I have 4 sections and have needed all of them at one time. In some campgrounds you never know how far to the sewer. The one Joe linked to is good because it can be compressed so it isn't as long for storage. Bill

On the front of your inverter look for a couple of push buttons that are just slightly raised circles upper left. one on left is INVERT and CHARGE on the right. Try pushing the button and any reset buttons. Look for any circuit breakers that may be tripped. Look at the status lights. You can download a manual from the manufacturer. Bill

If the tires are the same size there is no change. I would check your speedometer with a good GPS setup as it may be off anyway. What size tires are you running now? Personally if you don't feel comfortable with a place I wouldn't use them. Bill

Well congratulations. Now you need to put it and some other info in your signature and profile. You might run the A/C for a while to help dry the interior out plus it probably would be good for you to run the generator to. OK talk about how old is the diesel in the coach? If the tires are OK I would run it with a double dose of Diesel Kleen. I would start with a double dose in the next tank to. Plan on doing a complete "annual" maintenance to get a baseline. Have fun, if you have questions just ask. Bill

Just have to ask, why? Bill

I bet only certain circuits are powered by your inverter. With the refrigerator on propane and not running the furnace I think you should be good for at least 10 hours. Without knowing how good (ampere hour) and at what charge your batteries are starting at that is as much sage advice I can give. Add the usual "your results may vary" You could do a test run during the day to see how long the batteries will last. Bill

Nice looking rig!!! By the way Dino & Cathy, Welcome to FMCA and the Forum! Where is that Florida or south Cal? Bill

Welcome to the forum. There are several members that live in the Houston area and they should be along to give some suggestions. I just put 6 new Continentals on my rig and Saved more than the Michelin tires by about a $100.00 per tire. That is off the program discount price not retail. Bill

They were regular, I don't remember the size 100% but I am thinking 3/16 1/4 or 5/32. I did grumble when I had to get down and back up. It took longer to find the missing wrench than to swap the fans. Measure on the shaft where the fans are so you can put them the same spacing on the new motor. When you get the motor back in spin the shaft a couple of times to make shure it spins freely and doesn't hit anything. Here is a link to a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doJ_oD18lZs Bill

Congratulations on the new coach. Bill

You might as well take the filter out as you will need a new one next year. I would say if the ice cubes arn't freezing you are good. Bill

The oiling worked so well that I carried the new fan motor for almost 6 months on a trip West last year. Ended up changing it in a park near Zion. By the way the fans don't come with the motor. They also take different size allen wrenches. The size I didn't have on the roof with me the first time. Bill

The oil that I linked to is specifically for oiling electric motors. It works fairly well in this application. Especially if you slide the felt washers away from the opening to the bering and make a reservoir with tape to hold a supply of oil in place and give it time to soak into the porous bearing material. Bill

Fan bearings are going dry. You can get a new one from Amazon for $112.00. You can possibly soak the bearings and the felt washers that are on the shaft with 3-in-one oil for electric motors. I kept my blower going for a year doing that. https://www.walmart.com/ip/WD-40-3-IN-ONE-Motor-Oil-3-Oz/21377719?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227026511371&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=52592071631&wl4=pla-84472030991&wl5=9027284&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=21377719&wl13=&veh=sem Bill

Have fun and keep us updated. Bill

Glad you found the problem. Keep the questions coming. Bill

Assuming you have weighed the coach and set tire pressure to the tire manufacturers chart + 10% or I just use + 10 lbs as it is easier. I would use a known accurate gauge to set the base pressure and the record what the Tireminder read. See how much it changes on the trip. Bill
