We use CoPilot because you can download the maps on WiFi and not use data. It works well as you can adjust preferences. We like Bill A use google maps/Google earth and RV Parkey also RV park Reviews. Bill

I am glad to see Brett's re post of this. We will be in the holding area before 10:00 tomorrow to be parked. I have heard it has been challenging for the parkers. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Well we will see how it goes tomorrow as we are supposed to be in the holding area before 10:00. Bill

This video may give you some tips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LB5ZhvhXas Bill

Welcome to the forum. The question is how did you/what did you do to winterise? There are a couple of different ways to get ready for that first trip of the season. Tell me what you did and what your concerns are to un do them. Bill

Welcome to the frum. Please add your rig to your signature it will help you get better answers. I would go I-40 to Amarillo then 287 to Denver then I-25 north to I-90 west. to Gardner, then south on 89 to the park. This isn't the shortest but it is about as flat as you are going to get. If you can handle the hills on I-40 in Tennessee you shouldn't have a problem. Bill

You passed the test. It is a picture of a nice coach. Bill

They are on the other side of the boom. Still plenty of permanent residents but most of the "man camps" are gone. Bill

We stayed at Midland RV Campground 2 days a go. Not bad for overnighter. Well we did stay 2 days visiting with some friends. If you want a good place to eat go to the Garlick Press in Midland. 2134 S Midland Dr, Midland, TX 79703 midlandrvpark.com (432) 697-0801 Bill

I don't think there is a problem. You are only a couple of degrees above the outher readings. I have seen more variance between sunny side and shady side. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Nice coach now you need to add it to your signature. Bill

I agree, the first thing I would do is see if the hose coming from the engine is hot. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Don't mind Carl, The devil makes him that way. Remember you have more clout to get things fixed the way you want before you singe the paperwork and hand over the check. Bill

Have you checked to see if you are getting hot water to the front of the coach yet? It could be as simple as the shut off valve in the hose from the engine. When I drive with the furnace on it keeps the coach nice and warm. Definitely beats no heat. Bill

I would look online for information based on the make and model of the compressor. If I remember there is a range of voltage drop. I will bet you need the start capacitor to troubleshoot it. But look maybe not. Bill

Storage is not an issue if you have a pull through. But when you have to try and push the dolly up a slight grade on wet grass then it becomes a problem. Bill

Glad you got it fixed. Bill

Did you use/add a "hard start " capacitor? I would test the compressor to see if it is ok. I hate to be negative but it might be the compressor going bad. Bill

The towing equipment such as base plate and wiring for lights is aftermarket. I did make it part of the deal when I bought my CR-V. Even then the dealer farmed it out. There should be no difference new or used. Just get the right year base plate. Bill

You are right. I saw a demonstration of one of the engineering tools at work. They were displaying all the air flow under the F-35 stovl AC, showing air flow,volume and turbulence in real time from all sources. It was pretty impressive. We also had cad /catia available in the shop. Bill

Well it will be fun to see what happens. My limited experience is when they talk unlimited data there is usually a choke point someplace where the speed slows down. You have unlimited data but it may take a while. Kind of like back a few years when I had a 600 baud modem. I had unlimited data but it took 15 minutes to download a gray scale picture. But we were excited about it. Bill

I agree I would go back to a dolly if I had to. I can't see me fighting a trailer. But I will never be on the road without a toad. Bill

Did you try it again to see if it does it every time or was a abnormality? I would need to get your owners manual out and do some reading. I have never tried putting the switch to acc with the jacks down. Bill

We still love you . Yes these were disreputable companies like Avis and Enterprise. I don't know where my notes went. I quit caring after I bought my current toad. Bill

Just to pick on Kay a little today. This is the high risk way. The idea of renting instead of towing comes up often on the different forums. I have heard of at least a couple people who had reservations at places yet when they got there the rental company didn't have a car for them. I did a little survey along those lines a couple of years ago when I was using a dolly. I was amazed at how many places this wouldn't work. Especially around major parks and attractions. My personal travel style is I want my car right here right now so any time I can go to the store go sightseeing go out to eat or just because. Bill
