One way is Members should visit http://www.michelinrvtires.com to locate an authorized Michelin RV tire dealer. I would use the website and call to be sure they are participating in the program and have or can get the tires you want. I counted at least 5 dealers in the area. Bill

We are 505 miles north of Pharr Texas. From Pharr it is 741 to Amarillo and 886 to Boise City, OK on 385 at the Oklahoma border. Here is something to consider it is only 306 miles from NYC to Portland Maine. Or just the distance from Pharr to Austin. Bill

You make me smile when you talk about "The cold weather in San Antonio." I live in the frigid North Fort Worth area. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Look at Texas and the south Rio Grande Valley area. Look at places around McAllen We haven't spent the winter there but visited for a rally at Texas Trails RV Resort, 501 W Owassa Rd, Pharr, TX 78577, texastrailsrv.com, (956) 782-7886. They had lots of things to do and lots in the area to see. TButler lives in the valley in the winter and can give more information. What I would do is go and stay for a week or two and scout the other places to see what is available and what suits your budget. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I don't think it will hurt your filter if you are using a quality filter. I am wondering what oil are you using? Bill

Yes but at the price you payed it won't hurt to replace them. I bought the better blades at $9.99 at Waley world, they look just like the ones Camping world wants $60.00 on sale. Bill

I think you might call that a "self test" and just move to a different spot. Bill

I think people use super long blades because they think it needs to cover the whole windshield. Welcome to the world of cheaper wiper blades. Bill

It dosen't count unless it rained the whole way. Bill

Yep my Surge Guard saved me a couple of times this last year. I like the portable because I can use it like a tester. In one campground where I couldn't get good power on my site I was told I could move. So I took my Surge Guard and started testing different sites. Bill

You might be surprised how well 28" wiper blades work. The last time I was in Alvarado at the REV group factory repair center I had them look up what wiper blades I was supposed to use. I was a little shocked when they said 26". I am using the 28" ones and it does a good job. I must be bored, as I went to the PPL Motorhomes site and looked in parts for your wiper blades and it came up with a 28" blade. http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-covers/truvision-class-a.htm Bill

The ones that came on my CR-V lasted over 51,000 miles and wore evenly. They still had some tread left (above the wear bars) when I took them off. Bill

The good thing about the Surge Guard is it does basically the same thing ALL the time not just when you are looking at it. Bill

Here is one source for them. I did see some on Amazon but they were $10.00. It is Partnumber 48-17 by Amco. https://www.finditparts.com/products/2479194/federal-mogul-anco-48-17?srcid=CHL01SCL010-Npla-Dmdt-Gusa-Svbr-Mmuu-K2479194&gclid=CjwKEAiA1ITCBRDO-oLA-q_n8xYSJADjBQfGNxTgZjei3hA2VBiX1WT9artCZWPQeHMJ-NUN4lyOkxoCzGfw_wcB I now can use any wiper blade that uses the J hook connection. 28 inch wiper blades will work till you find longer. In reality they are only 2 in shorter on each end. Bill

There may be some unofficial Meet and Greet events to. Bill

Well as of now I think 12 coaches from one club we belong to and at least 5 from the forum, So that would be 17 so far but it is early. I have reservations, as of today, for 2 nights (March 4, 5 leaving on 6) at Silverado RV Resort in Eloy, AZ which is 45 miles from Chandler. The rate is $35 a night with a 2 night minimum and a $25 non-refundable deposit. Like all the area parks the sites are back-ins. I researched some of the sights listed and since we will be going on to California after the rally I didn't want to pay $70 a night. Bill

You won't hurt anything all the coach I have had experience with were set up this way. When you are ready to shut down the generator take all the load off and let it run for about 5-10 min to cool before shutdown. Bill

rcieslak67, said "Never had the issue before in 5 years of camping. Noticed it twice last summer from dedicated 50 amp power at the post." But you don't know if the power was right at the pedestal. If it showed 50 amp at other camp grounds I am thinking it is a issue with the power supply at the campground and not a problem with your Intellitec unit. This is why I like my portable Surge Guard unit. It won't pass power to the coach if it isn't right. Bill

Good question. Look hear for examples and help on cook times. http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/articles/detail/convection-cooking-adjustments Bill

Nice coach. Fun way to get started with a 2000 mile shake down trip. I bet you had a list of things to add/to do when you got home to Albuquerque. Now as it says on the main page "It’s time to plan your trip to Chandler, Arizona, for the 95th International Convention: Rally in the Valley!" There will be lots of seminars and activities for first timers. Bill

Welcome to the forum Alan. You are absolutely right. Bill

Well going down memory lane. Remember when you called someone you didn't have to ask "where are you" because you knew if they answered the phone they were standing in the kitchen holding on to the phone or at work at their desk. But back on track I still can't see signatures in Chrome. WHY? Bill

Welcome to the forum. Well the first question is are you sure you had 50 amp available at the pedestal? Bill

If your wiper blades are the kind that use screws to hold them on you can buy adapters to use standard "J" hook blades. Bill

Look for repellents with DEET. We pay close attention in North Texas because of West Nile and now Zeka. You might find this site useful. http://www.mosquito.org/repellents Bill
