Welcome to the forum. Using all caps is the same as shouting. Please fill out your signature with your coach home base etc it will help you get better answers faster when you ask questions. Bill

Welcome to the forum. The OP hasn't been back to answer any questions or to comment. I use to use a couple of the blocks for under the jacks when the terrain caused a problem loading my Civic. I have a Acme dolly. Bill

I would also look at the fuel shut off solenoid. Bill

That and the streets and entrance to the site aren't wide enough to make the turn in my CR-V much less motorhome. Trees you can see but rocks in deep grass on the to narrow corner that you can't see. Bill

I am on the side that the check valve is stuck. The other thing is on the water valve if the handle turned on the shaft with out moving the valve. I only have a 2 way valve, what is the third position for? Bill

It will help. The problem comes from light application as when most of the braking comes from the exhaust brake and you just use the service brakes for that last little stopping force. I think as long as you are aware of the issue and use your service brakes occasionally for the main stopping force like at an off ramp or slowing on a hill it should prevent the problem. Bill

I know it has been cool hear since Thursday, in the loe 50s but will be in the upper 70-80s by tuesday. Bill

Use Gasbuddy and Google earth. to find stations. Actually using my old style math 1000 miles on a 100 gal is 10 miles to the gallon. I never had a problem finding fuel. Bill

I have shot it a few times but generally don't shoot shotgun. Bill

Probably a good idea. Remember objects in the overhead compartments may shift during flight. You don't need to do an all out panic stop, just 85% of one. Bill

Not much to add. I would look at the line for the ice maker if it is like my Line it goes outside. I had to replace my water valve to the icemaker because it froze cracked. When looking for leaks look up hill. Keep tracing back and you will find your leak. What is the water preshure at the park like? Is it hi and do you have a preshure regulator on your shore water line? You said you had the water off. I would try turning the water pump on. It might not leak without preshure in the system. Also if the pump cycles it will indicate it is still leaking. Let us know what you find. Bill

You are welcome, I hate to hear about shops trying to do unnecessary work. Why not write a report in RV service reviews. http://www.rvservicereviews.com/Index.asp Seldom if ever have I heard of brake problems. But as you say they aren't stopping as well as you would like, I would go and do like Brett said, Do about 5-6 hard stops just using the service brakes. Let us know if that helps your stopping. Bill

One outher thing, glazing is not something that would require the drums or disk to be turned. Just roughed up with sandpaper as Brett said. Bill

Ask Carl what he thinks about parkers. Bill

I think you have a 12 valve mechanical engine so I don't think you have a "Box" I know of some people who have added a different fuel plate but I don't think Banks offers those. They did offer a upgrade turbo and upgraded wastegate controller. " I think the gauges are Boost and manifold temp." Yes but it would be Exhaust Manifold temperature or Exhaust Gas Temperature or EGT. Just hook them up and see what you get. Bill

What year and what engine? The gauges are most likely "boost" and "EGT". Look under the bed access to the engine. Bill

I would contact them directly 888-761-4225 or on the web https://www.texascustomcoach.com/ This would give you a chance to talk about upgrades as well. I believe manholt has had some repair work done there you might send him a message. Bill

I would look at the upgrade jleamont, just did. He just did that upgrade plus a fuel cooler. Bill

I would try to find someone who could do an evaluation before spending money on upgrades. Texas Custom does nice work on upgrades. I like my 38N but have seen some amazing used coaches on the market. I am extremely happy Motorhomes of Texas sold an older Newell they had. Bill

Well unfortunately he never reported back with results. Best bet it is running fine or he would be back looking for a fix. Bill

The OP hasn't been back in about a week so apparently he didn't like the answers he got or he bought his dream coach already. Bill

Strats, Welcome to the forum. Hard to say what is causing your lag. Have you done your basic maintenance? Have you changed your fuel filters,air filter? Have you driven another coach of this vintage to see if they compare performance wise? Bill

I bet the 130 is a lot more comfortable with more amenities. I just built them and fixed them.

kenlea98, Welcome to the forum. As you didn't finish filling out your profile I don't know where you are. If you are having a hard time pulling the trigger then don't. How many coaches in this range have you seen /driven? Where do you live? Bill

Well I am of the opinion (still) that a good jeep would be the best trade off. Bill
