  1. Did it come with the tankless water heater? Bill
  2. Welcome to the forum. Which model auto or standard? You can look on the main page at the towing guide for that year. Bill
  3. I would take the ladies over to the on site shower facilities and let them see how far they have to walk to take a shower if you run out of water or the shower fills up. Well atleast I won't be getting "The Look" Bill
  4. Rich, I am guessing but it is probbabley a fairly new coach/instillation as I have not heard of Winnebago shiping with an on demand heater. I think we are on the right track it may be something simple. Bill
  5. I think that is where the growth will come from is local chapters. I see FMCA as the parent/ umbrella organization and the local clubs/chapters as the place where the rubber meets the road, literally. I belong to several chapters and that is where you have the opportunity to recruit new members plan activities the members are interested in doing. This is where you attract new members and would be perfect for people who are working like Jo and Keon are planning. Once you get 10-12 in a group you can start getting better discounts during a rally. Most campgrounds have a minimum number before you can use the clubhouse/meeting house. But that is OK when the group is small you can still have a good time. Don't be afraid to talk to the other people in the campground. I know you can't walk by when the RRR group is in camp without someone inviting you to happy hour. The main point I am trying to make is that Jo and Kenon know what they want to do and what time they have to do it much better than the people in the offices at FMCA. Bill
  6. I base my cool down time on actual EGT not time to stopping point. Yes most time by the time you get to a camp spot it should be cooled down enough. It does take longer when the outside temps are higher. Bill
  7. We don't need to go to Florida for Gaters we have them right here in Texas. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Alligator-Found-Outside-Dallas-Middle-School-380770351.html Bill
  8. I am with Herman. There are some videos on Youtube showing how to install them. You may be able to see how to straighten the fabric on yours. Bill
  9. Welcome to the forum. The only thing I can think of is make sure the gap on the igniter isn't to big. Bill
  10. I think there are several cities you are going to love. Fort Worth being the main one. Cowtown still has the flavor of a town but has everything big cities have. Bill
  11. True, but if they can't find a deal they like in Ca. there are alternatives. Bill
  12. I would look a little further West of the "big" airport. The I-35W corridor is probably one of the fastest growing areas well anywhere. There is tremendous growth all over the area. The I-35E corridor is also going big. I think you are doing it right by looking in the mid cities area. that way depending on where you get a job you are relatively centralised. Bill
  13. It sounds like a coach that should sell fairly fast some place like PPL.com. Sorry you are having to sell. Bill
  14. I would have argued that it was necessary under the exception. "Operation of auxiliary or alternate power systems for cabin comfort." They may say it only applied to running the generator. Thanks for the links. I know they watch the trucks around here and all the big truck stops have installed systems to cool or heat the cab. Bill
  15. Glad it is running better. Yes Congratulations on your daughters graduation! Enjoy your trip and let us know how it went. Bill
  16. Rick, try measuring outside - outside of your duals I bet it isn't 102. Bill
  17. I just brought it up so the OP would at least be aware of the fact the dolly wheel track will be wider than the RV wheel track. You can see the dolly wheels in the back up camera and get a feel where you need to be in your lane. This gets especially important when going through construction where they use Jersey style barriers. Bill
  18. What I was talking about is the wheel track of the dolly is wider than the wheel track of your coach. It will run on the edge of the road when the coach is in the travel lane. Bill
  19. I used a Acme for a couple of years and it worked well after I learned how to get the straps tight. but that is the problem with all dollies. I was just looking and they show new style ramps that look better. Hear is my method of tightening the straps. Once I started doing it this way I never had a strap came loose. When you load the car on the dolly stop with about 2 in between the tire and front stop. Place the hold down straps over the tires. Now place the car in neutral. Now tighten the hold down straps. The reason for doing it this way is the straps will not slide on the tire. This allows the tire to rotate forward and take the slack out of the back side of the strap. After the straps are tight you can put the car in park and set it up for towing. Make shure you set the car up based on the dolly manufacturer's instructions. Some need the steering locked and some like the acme need the steering to turn. Not doing this part right will cause damage to your car. One outher thing is be aware the dolly tracks outside the track of your Coach. You need to be aware when turning corners or just going down the road. Your coach might be in the smooth travel lane but the dolly might be off the right edge running on the rumble strip or hitting the lane markers. Watch your mirrors and you can get the hang of it pretty easy. Any questions let me know. Bill
  20. I noticed the discounts are not on a % basis. I got a better price break when I bought tires for my CR-V than the price savings quoted on 255-80 22.5. I would look at the Continental program. Bill
  21. Here is a link to a map you might like. When you get to the website scroll down as there are several and a virtual tour. Following the SF trail isn't as easy as route 66 as it varied from trip to trip and during the season based on water availability. https://www.nps.gov/safe/planyourvisit/maps.htm Have fun. Bill
  22. I don't see a problem. It is a main road and everything in that part of the world has hills and curves. Stay on main roads and you should have no problems. Bill
