Don't forget the possibility of water in the differential. Good luck with the settlement. Bill

Time For A Residential Refrigerator?
wildebill308 replied to punxsyjumper's topic in Systems and Appliances
Following on with what Herman said. Measure your door, I bet it is about 24". Find the measurements for the refrigerator installed. Compare them to the Samsung RF-18 "counter depth". This is a great replacement if it will fit. My refrig was in the slide and I lacked 4" of height. I ended up using a Sears that was the same cu foot as the Dometic. With the doors and hinges off it fit through the door with 1/4 in to spare. The delivery guys set it inside re installed the doors. I had to extend the floor of the refrig opening because it wasn't a counter depth unit. I added some trim to fill the rest of the opening. One outher thing, it didn't come with a icemaker and sears wanted about $245.00 to add the icemaker (parts +labor) I bought the same ice maker on Amazon for $45.00 and it took about 15 min to install it. Makes lots of ice. Bill -
That sounds normal to me to. If they went flat in a couple of hours then I would be looking for the big leak. Bill

Wayne, Here is a good place to look. http://motorhomesoftexas.com/ or http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/diesel/diesel-motorhomes.php. Bill

I was there last year. We didn't have experience so we spent time on both the East and West sides. I would reserve a place outside the park and take the toad. Did you do the Red Bus Tours? I would not recommend taking your coach to St Mary. I did not like any of the RV parks on that side. On the West side don't forget to visit Kalispell or Whitefish. The key is to have a toad Bill

Understand your sentiment However if you did not drill and install a pyrometer in your exhaust before the turbo you don't have any kind of accurate EGT temps. Bill

You guys are complaining about cheap diesel. It was running $3.30 to $3.40 in Pa. I waited because Gasbuddy said it was cheaper in Va. It was $2.55 not as cheap as home but about what I have payed on this trip. Bill

There is a big difference between dealers and different parts of the country. What are you looking at? There are a bunch of used quality coaches in that price range. Bill

It doesn't matter what side the slides are on if you arn't careful you can get hurt. I was looking at the new Pace Arrow and it has a full wall slide but you still have sharp spots. Bill

Yes but how many gears did you have? Bill

Welcome to the forum. My first question is why do you want to use a dolly? It adds a extra level of work that you don't need. The instructions for towing 4 down will work for towing on a dolly if you insist. On big thing follow the directions for your dolly manufacturer. Some need the front wheels locked and some need them to be able to turn. Not doing it right will damage your toad. Bill

When you slow on those long 7%+ hills try manually downshifting to raise your RPM. If you can't accelerate in a gear you need to downshift till you can. Then hold your RPM to give you near peak HP. If you don't have a Exhaust temperature gauge you are at risk of running too hot of EGT and can damage your engine. I won't have a diesel without EGT and boost gauges. Bill

Bill, welcome to the forum. I think it would be hard to avoid the grass at Perry. I always have gone ahead and gotten the 50 amp service. Are you volunteering? I drove "handicapped golf carts" my last time. Bill

Well 2 days ago on the way down to Gettysburg from RI I was seeing diesel at $3.35 to $3.45 Tonight Gasbuddy is showing it down to $2.95 in Pa and $2.55 Maryland. Hopefully it will drop some more by next week when I need to fill up. Bill A. I have found some Pilot /Flying J stations to be at the going local price while some are higher. If they are at the going price or a couple cents higher I will use them because they are easy. Bill

Welcome to to forum. If you put your coach and location in your signature you will get better answers. I agree with Brett, it depends on what you are looking for. Bill

Welcome to the forum, nice coach. Bill

All the nay sayers make me laugh. What is going to change? What makes you so sure there are hoards of people waiting to join? It will probably be years after you are dead before there is any big change if ever. All the people saying I QUIT before any change are laughable. Nothing has changed yet but I am going to take my ball and go home. Why don't you put some effort in building chapters in your image. Bill

Electronic Toll Collection Information
wildebill308 replied to tireman9's question in Destinations/Attractions
Well that may work some places but in the east if you want to get some place the bestway is on the toll road. For example crossing NY State on I-90 (The Mass Pike) It will take much less time and less fuel than driving on State 20 or 5. or any outher local road. The only way to get across without many tolls is on I- 86 and I-80 But this is a southern route. Many attractions are of I-90. You can do it but I bet it will take at least anouther day and tank of fuel. New England is even worse. Bill -

Interesting as the TX Tag works in Ok. Just used it about 20 days ago. Bill -
Electronic Toll Collection Information
wildebill308 replied to tireman9's question in Destinations/Attractions
It was suppose to go into effect last year. Hearer is a link to testimony on the problem. https://www.ibtta.org/sites/default/files/documents/Interoperability/IBTTA--Testimony on Toll Interoperability 2015 9 30 FINAL.pdf Hear is another link. http://www.tollinterop.org/ Bill A, and Brett, it is pretty simple to get a transponder and set up an account that is re filled to a set level when it is depleted. This also gives you the ability to go on line and review any tolls and possibly protest any improper ones. Or you can be at the mercy of the mail and your mail forwarding service. I have 2 E-ZPass transponders. The one for the toad is stored in a shielded envelope when it is behind the coach. When in tow the toad is charged at a lesser amount (same as a trailer). I have a TXTag that is good in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. I don't get the discount with the TX Tag so I have stickers in both the coach and car. Bill -
I do wish you luck. One other thing you might do is get sampling kits from Blackstone and sample the engine oil and transmission. This will let you know about some of the big show stoppers like coolant in the oil or excessive wearer metals. https://www.blackstone-labs.com/ You will need a pump to. Bill
