  1. I have a Medicare Advantage Plan that requires a referral if out of my network except for emergency care. Never a problem. Bill
  2. I think it would be wise if you did a little research about all the people who have bought insurance/warranties and did not get satisfactory results when they had a problem. Little things add up, not paying the going rate for labor, parts, any shipping to get the parts to you, large deductibles just as a starter. Why would you need a add on warranty if you are buying new? Bill
  3. I bought some on Amazon. RV Trailer Camper Cleaners 303 Aerospace Protectant 16 Oz. They also have a cheaper one for vinyl and I don't know if it will work as well. 303 UV Protectant for vinyl, rubber, plastic, tires and finished leather, 16 fl. oz. Bill
  4. bamabob, Do a search as there have been several threads about warranties. Most will recommend taking what they are going to charge you and putting it in a savings account. I have had about $500. in payouts for things they cover (microwave) compared to the $4000. they wanted to charge me I think I am ahead. I do recommend you get a Roadside assistance plan, Coach Net or the FMCA plan. This will help in case of towing and breakdowns or flat tire. They will pay for the tow or to have someone come out but not the work. Bill
  5. I plan on going with Continental when I replace my tires. They are excellent tires. They also look to be cheaper using the new program. I have been lobbying Continental to expand their offering to be more competitive with Michelin and I need tires for my truck. Bill
  6. There are lots of systems that don't use the air from the coach. I am still using my old Brake Buddy. I don't know of one that works like trailer brakes. Bill
  7. Welcome to the forum. I would use a funnel and just trickle it in. Bill
  8. The same with I-30 between Dallas and Little Rock. The permanent construction zone TZSTRANGE, welcome to the forum. I think it is funny that they put up signage to tell you that the road is rough. How about just fixing the road. Bill
  9. The same with I-30 between Dallas and Little Rock. Bill
  10. Welcome to the forum. Go read the thread Jim has linked to, that should give you an idea. Bill
  11. Do you have this information on the 2017 Jeep Cherokee? This is from the 2017 FMCA towing guide. "Only four-wheel-drive vehicles with a two-speed power transfer unit can be towed four wheels down; before towing, see an authorized Jeep dealer for the Mopar flat tow wiring kit. It’s recommended to charge the battery of the towed vehicle while towing" I had the dealer install the baseplate and lights (Blue Ox) before I took delivery. I made it part of the deal. Your dealer will know someone locally to do the work. They don't do it themselves and you can't be the first wanting to tow a Jeep behind a motorhome to buy there. Bill
  12. See if you can take the latch out and repair it. I just broke the handle on my Splendide and had a hard time finding a reasonable cost replacement part. Finally got one from the manufacturer. Have you pulled it out and pulled the back off to look for data plates? Bill
  13. That is more like 11 years but lack of use/maintenance could be a problem. Bill
  14. I think obedb has the best idea. See if you can splice in a new section of cable and see if that works then worry about pulling a new cable. Bill
  15. First, welcome to the forum. I don't have any info on the Chinese made tires. If you ate sceptical about them I would change them. I would hate to be worried that the tires may blow out when I am trying to have fun on a trip. I like the prices in the Continental program better than what I see from Michelin. Any new tire will ride better than the old ones. You will never wear them out. If you do you will be one of the first I have ever heard of who wasn't driving commercially. Interesting, I did a little digging and found the Goodride tire was listed by the EPA as a low rolling resistance tire. Which doesn't mean to much as it appears from the list that nearly every tire is listed. https://www.epa.gov/verified-diesel-tech/smartway-verified-list-low-rolling-resistance-lrr-new-and-retread-tire Bill
  16. All the major roads have areas that need repair. I was on that section of I-40 from Williams to Amarillo in March and there are some rough spots. Just slow down till you get through that area. Next we will have people complaining because they are working on the roads. Bill
  17. Gee Bill, Yes I am talking about roads not even close to Baton Rouge when obedb is talking about roads West as " worked my way to Tucumcari NM to rejoin 40." I didn't know we were limited to just close to Baton Rouge. Bill
  18. We drove I-10 from the I-10 I-20 merge and didn't see any problem going to Chandler. Well the only problem was the extreme crosswind. Bill
  19. Another fun thing to see in the area is the Kentucky Horse Park. http://www.kyhorsepark.com/ Bill
  20. I have had several people tell me they weren't happy with it and they wouldn't refund their money. The base(car) version works well and has settings for your RV for less money. It is always a good thing to verify any route. Bill
  21. Yes but the OP jpaflag, has a Cat and should be able to install a pump. Bill
  22. If you have a place to install it Here is the Cat style pump. http://www.amtequipmentparts.com/fuel-injection-system/lift-pumps/1052508-pump-priming/?_vsrefdom=adwords&gclid=CjwKEAjwjunJBRDzl6iCpoKS4G0SJACJAx-VLsUy5MZAggCZuV2aTFyjOqYJRI09xsLUN4cvdi2PoRoCEkTw_wcB You might look at finding a hand pump you coud use by modifying a spare fuel cap to add preshure to the tank. In the long run I think the answer is to add a new lift pump like Joe did. Bill
  23. The MKT sounds like it is light enough to tow with the HR Vacationer 32A. Bill
  24. I had WAZE and deleted it because of what Bill A said. I now use CoPilot and it has worked well. (I don't recommend the one for RV.) The good part is you can download all your maps over wifi so you don't use data. You can set parameters for your RV so it won't send you down inappropriate roads. You can also set it to notify you at set distances before a turn, up to 2 miles. I use it on a tablet (12") so it has a bigger screen than those stand alone units. Bill
