I posted some ideas on your outher post. There are several outher things you might find useful. I recommend you get a surge protector if you don't already have one. I use a Surge gard http://trci.net/products/surge-guard-rv/hardwires-portables/50a-portable-w-lcd-display I like the portable because I have used it to check power before geting the coach setup. Heare are some apps you might find usefull. http://www.rvparky.com/ http://www.rvparkreviews.com/ CoPilot USA, I use the basic version as the RV version has gotten some bad reviews. The basic"car" version has worked very well and you can download the maps on WIFI so you don't use data. Passport America can save you 50% on campgrounds. Yelp, helps you find good places to eat and outer things. Oh, Ranger, locates state and local parks and other interesting things. Gas Buddy, Find cheap gas Visitor Tips, This is like the rack of brochures at the local visatercenter. Rest Stops, finding the next one is always a good thing. Let me know if you have any questions. Bill

Welcome to the form. Nice coach. One thing you got by getting a new Bounder is the new 6 speed transmission. I happen to be a bounder fan two. One thing you might find fun is to spend a night in your driveway. Act like you are at a campsite. This will help you "remember" to add things you will need to your coach. Have a pad and pencil handy to make a list of the things you forgot. I like your plan of just going a short way on your first trip. This way you can get into your campsite and set up without the stress of being tired from your first driving experience. Let us know how it went. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Un like some applications in cars where you need to get the rpm up to get boost and you can feel that surge as boost kicks in you won't feel it in your coach or the seat of your pants. I two recommend you get a good boost gage and a EGT (exhaust gas temperature) gage. When climbing hills if you start to slow down, I down shift to keep engine speed up. Put anouther way, if you can't hold speed or accelerate in a gear down shift till you can. This will allow your engine to run cooler and performs better. Here are some information on your engine. 350 hp @ 2400 rpm 860 lb-ft @ 1440 rpm Peak Torque. http://www.rvtechlibrary.com/engine/Cat_C7_Specs.pdf Bill

Yes my bad I should have pointed out I use the basic CoPilot and haven't tried the RV version. The reviews didn't look that good. With any navigation device I like to look at a map to verify the route. In Settings under Vehicle Routing Profiles You might see if changing some of the preferences improve your results. Bill

Good!! Well atleast we have decided it wasn't a problem with the generator. Bill

I am going to Palo Duro Canyon The 26th to 29th. If you go up to Amarillo I would recommend. Overnite RV Park, 900 S Lakeside Dr, Amarillo, TX 79118, overnitervpark.com, (806) 373-1431 You and your friends should visit The Big Texan Steak Ranch & Brewery, 7701 Interstate 40 Access Rd, Amarillo, TX 79118, bigtexan.com, (806) 372-6000. Try to eat the 72 0z steak challenge. They have a limo that will come and pick you up at the rv park. We have also stayed at Oasis RV Resort, 2715 Arnot Rd, Amarillo, TX 79124 myrvoasis.com, (806) 356-8408 It is on the West side of town. Something else interesting is the "ART" installation known as Cadillac Ranch,I-40 Frontage Rd, Amarillo, TX 79124, (630) 313-0187 Bill

Welcome to the forum. You are correct it is hard to get out of round tires to run smooth. Where did you take it? Bill

Jason, While I am not a retired Allison fluids engineer nor have I played one on TV. I couldn't resist. I have in a past life run an oil analysis lab when in the AF. What one sample does is give you a snapshot of the condition of the fluid. It wouldn't hurt to change the filters and top off the fluid. I would sample again when you do your annual. What you want to look for is contamination and how much the wear metals go up between samples. I have switched to Blackstone because they give universal averages for the level of wear metals for a component. This gives you a better handle on what you are seeing. Bill

Well here again I don't know but suspect you can pull more power on shore power than with the generator. When you check the amp load see if you can check each ac and see/make shure they are on separate circuits. Electrical Gremlins are as much fun as shooting a 2" scandium S&W 44mag. Bill

Well back to the non gun problem. I am inclined to think you are on the right path. Look at what was done to the AC. This is mostly guessing with out hands on or schematics for your coach, but. It kind of sounds like something (suspicious of the repaired ac) is causing a high load event causing a self resetting circuit breaker to trip. After things cool down it resets and the process starts over. It would be helpful to know what the amp load is when it shuts down. Bill

BLAKE, we are talking guns hear we will get back to that peskey genarater in good time. Bill

Glad you got out safley. I bet a resadental refrig is one of the "must have" items for your next RV. Bill

Is it the .50? Bill

Go to google maps and in options check avoid hiways, tolls and for fun, ferries. Have fun and let us know how the trip went. Bill

Yes you can. 1/4 cup of household bleach for every 15 gallons of tank capacity should do the trick. Bill

" As to why Fleetwood would wire/assemble it this way I would not know" If I had a dollar for every time some one said that about the RV indestry I could be driving a Provost. Bill

My generator is in the front with no slide. Not a problem till you need to pull the side cover to change the belt. Bill

Welcome to the forum. see if this will help you. https://axleaddict.com/rvs/Devious-RV-Door-can-lock-you-out-how-to-cure-the-problem Bill

Welcome to the forum. Blake is right some times nouthing but some extra eyes is going to work. The problem with convex mirrors is the objects look smaller and it might be hard to see a car coming if it was verry far away. Bill

We need more stories that keep Bill A warm and fuzzy. Bill

Happy Easter weekend to you. Don't eat to maney peep's. Bill

Nice, lookes like you had a bright moon out. Bill

Well now I can see my/outher sig in IE but still no spell cheack and no ability to change font size and color. Still no signature in Chrome or spell cheack. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Is this in addition to the intake/return filter? Bill

I just use an old pitcher and pour it back into the gallon bottles and take it to a disposal place. There is an O'Rileys near by that I use. If you line the drain pan with plastic clean up is easy. For Bill A's use this mortar box. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plasgad-Black-Large-Concrete-Mixing-Tub-20-9-Gallon-Mortar-Mix-Plastic-Bucket/322351259381?_trksid=p2385738.c100677.m4598&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908110712%26meid%3D2c9ac05cba984da6872bed9b6f36f361%26pid%3D100677%26rk%3D7%26rkt%3D11%26sd%3D222338236183 "Bill, your eating habit's and where you eat, has become famous..." I can't comment on this thread but will post an update on the appropriate thread. Famous, right Bill
