  1. There better be hot water or you will get that "look" all day. Bill
  2. Read carefully what the OP said he did " We follow the guide lines for towing this vehicle to the letter (run engine for five minutes, shift to reverse then to drive then to neutral, leave in acc power) What I copied from the owner's manual. "shift into position D and then into position R before shifting back into position N." The OP was going into N from D not from R as the instructions state. Simple mistake cost 2 transmissions. Bill
  3. Do you have an ice maker in your current refrigerator? If you do the cord from the icemaker is plugged into a circuit from your inverter. The icemaker must have 110 power to work when you are on propane and not hooked to shore power. I ran my propane fridge on propane when driving never a problem. Never found conclusive evidence it was a problem. Don't have it any more as I just installed a residential refrigerator. By the way I am running it using the old outlet for the ice maker behind the refrigerator. Bill
  4. Dynamat is a commonly used as a insulation sound deadener. I would have them use a double layer under the closet where it is hottest. Bill
  5. Like Herman, the first place I would talk to is Texas Custom Coach, in Pipe Creek, TX. Bill
  6. I like this handy tire comparison tool. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Maybe you can find a Continental near enough to use and save money. I have mentioned before I saved more on the tires for my CR-V than I would for my coach. Bill
  7. Carl ought to know some good places on Galveston Island. Bill
  8. All I know is Land Rover Dallas has the following new Land Rover models: Land Rover LR4, Discovery Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Evoque, and Evoque. They are not towable on a dolly or 4 down. The problem (going back to the OP) is you must follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter or you will have a problem. The OP did not and replaced 2 transmissions. We are talking 2012 Ford Edge FWD 2.0 4 cylinder. The takeaway for future readers is it is important to understand and follow the manufactuers instructions when geting ready to tow. Bill
  9. Yes look here for information. I would get it as soon as you can because I have heard they are going up to $80.00. Even so it is a deal. It covers everyone in the car. https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm Texas also has a pass. http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/park-information/passes Bill
  10. You might look here. https://www.boondockerswelcome.com/SearchByState/US/TX OR https://www.allstays.com/Campgrounds/Texas-public-campgrounds-map.htm Bill
  11. Look at the link for the electric garbage trucks they show the battery packs. They have gotten smaller as they have gotten more powerful. Bill
  12. What year was that information for? I looked at Remco's web site and went back 4 years and found NO Land Rover of any model that was towable 4 down or with a dolly. All were listed as "MUST BE TOWED ON A TRAILER" There may have been an older one with a different transmission or a manual transmission. http://www.remcoindustries.com/Towing/Store.php Bill
  13. I can't believe VZ wasn't aware of the fact that this was a organization where it could grow in membership and there was no cap on membership. This is not like a company where you have a fixed number of employes. Bill
  14. Welcome to the forum. Not enough information on your Onan. What model is it and how are you determining it was overtemp. Did you pull the codes? What were the codes? Bill
  15. Herman, look at the GE video I posted a link to. They have a new factory up at Alliance making electric drive motors for big earthmovers and mining equipment. The closest right now you might be able to use the systems in the garbage trucks on aRV platform. Bill
  16. I would highly recommend geting one. It is MUCH cheaper than fixing damages. Ask me how I know. Bill
  17. Pretty dumb to cancel your plan before you have the new service and have tested it. Bill
  18. That would be something similar to this. https://www.wired.com/2016/07/tesla-co-founder-making-electric-garbage-trucks-jet-tech-not/ GE has built a new factory (in the Alliance Corridor) to make electric drive motors for mining equipment. They also make new train engins and refurbish old ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYjlE4Mno3c The technology is there it just needs someone to put it together at an affordable price. Bill
  19. I agree with Joe, You need a way to test the pedestal before allowing power to your coach. I think the tester is ok for a "snapshot" of what the power is right now it doesn't take the place of a good Surge Guarde. The problem as has been covered is the power may not stay constant. I think there are maney more low power/voltage issues than hi or over voltage. It is not just one area that has problems. I have had/seen problems from Galveston Island to Oregon to Maine. There are only 2 kinds of campers those who have had power issues and those who will. Bill
  20. George,can you plug into the jack on the pedestal with a phone to verify you have service and a dial tone? I am assuming you are somewhere you expect to have land line service. Just wondering why you need a landline. I haven't had one in about 5 years. Bill
  21. I think some kind of hybrid is more likely/ practical. Go look at the second link I posted. The most interesting one I have seen is a gas turbine electric setup. More like a diesel electric train but with a battery bank for low speeds/boost. Bill
  22. This is coming pretty soon. http://www.freightlinersupertruck.com/#downsized Here is someting else. http://www.equipmentworld.com/the-nikola-one-is-an-electric-class-8-hauler-with-2000-hp-1200-mile-range-that-you-dont-have-to-plug-in/ Bill
  23. If you are bored go look at new concept trucks. Walmart is doing lots of research into more efficient trucks. I had a link but can't find it . The nearer one that might be adaptable to RV use was the electric drive Hybrid. It used a small gas turbine to power a generator to provide power to drive the truck. Bill
  24. DBathurst, welcome to the forum. Let me see if I understand the problem. You have 2 tv's with 2 remotes. When you use the controller on your set it sometimes interferes with your wifes set and vice versa. Is that correct? How are the tv's located in relation to each outher? Bill
