I can't believe someone would question the factory design. Bill

We will be near St Louis. Hope the weather is good. Bill

Glad you are looking. Here are a couple of places that might have something you might like. http://motorhomesoftexas.com/ http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/ There are places that can add a escape door. Bill

I had hydraulic surge disk brakes worked great. Bill

They had a couple different ones. The inflater at Waley World is $68.00 but the same one from Northern is $225. Bill

Trust me these guys had the most sophisticated tire irons you can get. The neatest tool was the Tire Bead Seater Inflator tool. I have seen people struggle to get a tire bead to seal. This was the best tool for that since sliced bread. https://www.walmart.com/ip/5Gal-Tire-Bead-Seater-Inflator-Blaster-Seating-Tool-ATV-165PSI-Pneumatic/181292029?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=529&adid=22222222227045037069&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=94062870770&wl4=aud-261800281660:pla-216317209730&wl5=9027284&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112354406&wl11=online&wl12=181292029&wl13=&veh=sem Yes I probbabley could change my tires, but for the few times I have needed it done it is cheaper and easier to let the pros do it. Especially on days like yesterday when it was 100+ and hi humidity in the bay and the fans didn't seem to move any air. Bill

Here is something I wrote for a different thread but you might find it useful. LOADING YOUR CAR ON THE DOLLY When you load the car on the dolly stop with about 2 in between the tire and front stop. Place the hold down straps over the tires. Now place the car in neutral. Now tighten the hold down straps. The reason for doing it this way is the straps will not slide on the tire. This allows the tire to rotate forward and take the slack out of the back side of the strap. After the straps are tight you can put the car in park and set it up for towing. Make Shure you set the car up based on the dolly manufactures instructions. Some need the steering locked and some like the acme need the steering to turn. Not doing this part right will cause damage to your car. One other thing is be aware the dolly tracks outside the track of your Coach. You need to be aware when turning corners or just going down the road. Your coach might be in the smooth travel lane but the dolly might be off the right edge running on the rumble strip or hitting the lane markers. Watch your mirrors and you can get the hang of it pretty easy. Bill

That's me. They change tires the old fashioned way with a sledgehammer and tire irons. They stood on the tires to get them over the rim. Bill

Ouch, sorry to hear about your problem. Also Welcome to the forum. Bill

I did not catch the name on the tub. They also used a liquid that was some kind of lubricant when breaking the tires down. It could have been the Murphys. Today I wiped off any remaining on the ones I could get to and wiped them down with 303. I didn't like the foot prints on the sides of my new tires. Bill

I know several places in Texas but not Ohio. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Need more info. Like Carl asked + what are you re sealing the weatherproofing around the window or re sealing a double pane glass? Bill

Welcome to the forum. What does your owner's manual say? I have a all wheel auto drive CR-V I can tow it 4 down but not on a dolly. Is your Element an auto / all wheel drive? Looking at the FMCA towing guide and Remco it showess it can't be towed 4 down. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Where are you located/home based? Bill

If you like railroads and history you should go to Promontory Point. https://www.nps.gov/gosp/index.htm You can use this link to explore all the national parks. Bill

What parks are you planning on going to? Why just Southern Utah? By the way, welcome to the forum. Bill

Right on the money. Bill

Well I hope they used the right grease on my new Continental's. I will have to mark them and see if they move. Bill

I am a fan of the FMCA Continental program. Last Friday and Today I had all 6 of my 275/80R22.5 tires replaced. See my outer post about why it took 2 tries. http://community.fmca.com/topic/11267-difference-in-ride-load-range-g-vs-h/ after it was all said and done It cost $3288.13 out the door. I saved $1164.72 over the list price and the BIG one I saved $613.64 over using the FMCA Michelin program for comparable tires. Bill

Ok, after it was all said and done It cost $3288.13 out the door for the Continentals. I saved $1164.72 over the list price and the BIG one I saved $613.64 over using the FMCA Michelin program for comparable tires. Bill A. so far they seem to ride better than the old tires and did not experience any problem with the ride. Yes I know new tires ride softer than the old hard ones but I was concerned going to a H rated tire might be a harsher ride. Running the same air pressure as the G rated tires seams to be OK. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I just happened to find a used Brake Buddy for about $400.00 when I was looking So I haven't been eager to spend more money till this one gives up the ghost. I realey don't have that big of a problem instaling my brake in a box or removing it. I had Blue Ox rebuild the tow bar at a rally. There seem to be a fair number that show up on the used market. Bill

Have you tried changing the oxygen sensor? By the way welcome to the forum. Bill

I would take it off and leave it off. Just keep the front waxed. Bill

Welcome to the forum Sharon and Linda. What part of Texas are you from? Bill

Tom, With both the tow dolly's I have used they track outside of the coaches rear duels when going strait or turning. When towing 4 down the car stays inside of the track of the outside duel all the time. This is what I posted on the subject in a different thread. The only caution is to watch where you are in the lane as the dolly will track outside the track of the coach. You can be in the nice smooth lane and the dolly is running on the rumble strip. You also need to be aware when turning as the same applies. I saw a guy drag his car and dolly through a ditch because he turned to close to the edge. Let me know if you have any questions. Bill
