  1. Makes me feel spoiled, with fuel fills on each side of the coach. There are some gas coaches with the fill in the middle in the back. I think it would be harder to hit it perfectly. Bill
  2. Welcome to the forum. Glad you are enjoying your new coach. Bill
  3. No I use to work for a small startup company on the west side of Fort Worth. You probably never heard of them, Lockheed Martin. I was buy TLI and they looked open. Hadn't seen much activity over there for a while. Bill
  4. I have never heard a campground admit they had a problem with the power. Also read the rental agreement (that paperwork you signed when you checked in) There is always a disclaimer against damages from power problems. I always use my surge guard and that other important devise a water pressure regulator. Bill
  5. Not necessarily I moved the toad to LONGITUDE: -97.2037 LATITUDE: 32.8471 What is TLI ? Bill
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. All the slides I am aware of have a way to retract the slides manually. Bill
  9. 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
  10. Being outnumbered has never bothered Texans. Bill
  11. You went there twice and you still don't have a Surge Guard? Bill
  12. Kelly, I hope for that price you are getting the whole assembly. Bill
  13. 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
  14. It protects the tires from contact with the concrete or asphalt. The thought is the chemicals and moisture can damage the tire. Bill
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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
