  1. Chris G, My surge guard does all that + protects me when I am plugged in. I used it a while back to go check a different spot because the park rangers spent 3 hours trying to fix the problem and couldn't. Bill
  2. It has been my experience that a low power or hi power can happen to fast for you to react to it even if you are sitting looking at the meter. That is why I recommend the surge guard as it will react fast enough to prevent damage. Bill
  3. All the slides I am aware of have a way to retract the slides manually. Bill
  4. A surge guard is easier and it monitors power all the time. Also it will not pass power to your coach if there is a problem with the power supply. http://trci.net/products/surge-guard-rv/hardwires-portables/50a-portable-w-lcd-display What kind of damage to your coach did you have? Bill
  5. Being outnumbered has never bothered Texans. Bill
  6. You went there twice and you still don't have a Surge Guard? Bill
  7. Kelly, I hope for that price you are getting the whole assembly. Bill
  8. Gary, I think some of this is being overly cautious . However when you start spending $500.00+ for a tire that is only good for 7 years it doesn't seem as silly to try to do whatever you can to protect them and not shorten their lifespan. I have seen when something has sitting for a while on a concrete floor it had a damp spot under it when moved. I wonder if painting would be a good sealer? On the subject of tire set, I try not to leave my coach setting in one place to long maybe 30 days max before I take it for a short run 50-60 miles. The road out of where I garage is so rough I could start with square tiers and not notice it. fagnaml, I think the difference between your coach and your personal vehicles are the length of time they are stored. You drive your personal vehicles most times daily. Your coach may set in one spot for a long time. Bill
  9. It protects the tires from contact with the concrete or asphalt. The thought is the chemicals and moisture can damage the tire. Bill
  10. Welcome to the forum Dan. Unfortunately the OP hasn't been back to update us since May 5, 2016. Do you have any pictures? It would be helpful if you added your coach to your signature. Bill
  11. Let us know how it works out. I can't offer any input as it has ben A LONG TIME since I did any traveling for the AF. What is the status of your repair work on the coach? Bill
  12. I don't see where it would be that hard. You will probably just get the car rate for mileage. The extra travel time may be the only sticking point. Bill
  13. Try looking here: https://www.wiperparts.com/collections/all/rv?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=General - Motor by Auto Type&utm_term=rv wiper motor&utm_content=RV Or here: http://www.midwestbusparts.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16_315 Bill
  14. You can find my plugs hear. LONGATUDE:-97.4466 LATITUDE: 32.5142. I like the dry film lube over grease as it doesn't attract dirt. I also spray the inserts to protect the wear areas from rusting. Bill
  15. I did the whole fly /RV thing a few years back. In the 3ed week it becomes cheaper to travel by RV over fly and rent cars and stay in hotels. The better the RV the longer it takes to be cheaper. I don't think you would ever hit the cheaper point if you bought a new Elegant Lady. But the tax wright off would be spectacular. Bill
  16. Roland, Yes. one other thing, the type of fittings are different. They look alike but will not plug into the wrong connector. there is a Milton A style and a Milton M style. The M style is the more common in industry. Here is the big BUT you sometimes find the Milton A style on RV and buses. I would look above your generator on the passenger side on the firewall. I would make sure I had a male fitting of matching type of coupler zip tied close to it. Just in case the tow truck has the wrong style fittings he can use it to connect to your air system. Bill
  17. Like Gary said there should be a air chuck in the front (look over the generator) This is used to air up the suspension when being towed. There is a possibility it is just zip tied to some thing and not installed to the system. Ether way there should be a air manifold with a plug you can remove to install one. Bill
  18. Welcome to the forum. There are several people with HR coaches and I bet they will have an answer for you soon. Bill
  19. Now I have to go too. I bet they are more than the $1.39 ea. at E Trailer. Hear is a suggestion if they are loose in your baseplate. You can run a bead of silicone around the plugs under the lip. wipe a little oil or spray the receptacle's with silicone. plug them in and let them set overnight. The silicone should be set up and you can trim off any excess. Or wrap the plugs with a little electrical tape. I could go on but you get the idea. Bill
  20. Thanks for coming back and telling us what the problem was. I am glad it was a simple fix. Bill
