You may want to read this about K&N before running one. I use to be a fan but won't use one now. http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html Your stock filter will flow more air than your engine can ue. But it is up to you if you can afford to rebuild a "dusted" engine. The wiring for the Banks should still be there to hook it up again. Bill

One other thing use some wooden blocks on the roof so you can set the new AC down with out damaging the roof or the new AC. Carl is right it is good to pad the ladder to protect the edge of the roof. Bill

The wife likes slides so I like slides. Bill

Lots of great advice. Here is a suggestion on geting the new one on the roof. I put the new one in the back of my pickup and backed up to the side of the coach. I used a part of an extension ladder as a ramp and just slid the new AC up the ladder to the top of the roof. The new one wasn't that heavy. PLEASE watch out for sharp edges to any metal on the AC they are stamped parts and tend to have supper sharp edges. Bill

Nice looking coach! Bill

I just want to see Carl install that device in the neighbor's cat. He may be able to do a seminar on that. Pet safety is always popular. Bill

Ck-4 is the spec the oil must meet. Here is a good read about the new standards. It looks like they will be using at least a synthetic blend to meet specks. http://rotella.shell.com/products/pc-11.html OEM Specifications and Approvals for Shell ROTELLA® t6 full synthetic heavy duty engine oil API: CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4 ACEA E9; JASO DH-2; Cummins CES 20086; Volvo VDS-4.5; Detroit Fluid Specification (DFS) 93K222, Caterpillar ECF-2/ECF-3, MAN M3575, JASO MA/MA2, Allison TES 439, MB-Approval 228.31 Bill

Don't forget to look at the Continental program. Bill

Depends on the length of the trip and where. Bill

I run and recommend Shell Rotella T-6 I get good oil reports. + they have a $5.00 a gal rebate program, for the first 4 gallons. Bill

Things went pretty smooth and I applaud how well the parkers did. Bill

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
