Hopefully the OP will come back with an update. Bill

The people who have 5 Star tuners that I have talked to like the way it controls the excess shifting of the transmission. I haven't heard any big claims to increased economy or power but it appears worth the price to control the transmission. Bill

It depends how long you want to be West. You could tempt her with a side trip to Las Vegas then you are on track to drop down 93 to I-40 and head back and stop at The Grand Canyon then Albuquerque. We were west this summer so if you have routing questions or questions about places feel free. What toad are you bringing? Bill

I believe that is why I said to check each model year. You would think they are the same but untill Honda comes out and says they are.... Just looked at a 2017 Civic owner's manual on page 119 sayes " Improper towing, such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle, can damage the transmission." This covered the manual transmission. There was no section "recreational towing". So we shall see. Bill

He was saying the arm came up but didn't lock. Bill

Well as far as how to get there just take the Mass Pike West I-90. Don't plan on being in the area August 4-13th that is the date of the BIG motorcycle rally in Sturgis. The town of Sturgis has a population of under 7000 but last year they estimated they had over 760,000 at the rally. I wouldn't be in the area for a week before or a week after. The last time we were in the area we stayed out in Hermosa at Heartland RV Park & Cabins, 24743 SD-79, Hermosa, SD 57744, heartlandcampground.com, (605) 255-5460 Nearby Rapid city has some interesting shopping, dining and is interesting because each street corner has a statue of a president. Badlands National park is just down the road. You are not that far from Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. About 250 miles west on I-90 is Little Bighorn Battlefield National Park Lots more to see and do. Let me know what you like or are looking for on the way out and what rout are you taking back? Bill

Yes mostly it will help you stop sooner. It is much better to stop a yard short than a yard long. You are talking Civic. Make sure you can tow it 4 down even if it is a standard. Look at the towing guide. I have a 2012 Civic auto I towed with a dolly and when looking found there were no Civics towable 4 down. The same for 2014. I am towing the last CR-V towable 4 down. Bill

I have all the regular bills set up so I can pay them online or auto pay. I have a PO box so I just tell them I will be out of town and they hold the rest till I get back It has worked for trips over 90 days. The only problem I have seen with having mail that is sent to the house, is the "hold" must be renewed monthly. You can do it on line. I f I was going to be gone a long time I might need to have it forwarded but so far I don't see the need. Bill

Is that the original surface on the slide? Bill

The algae doesn't grow in the diesel but in the boundary layer with the water. I don't think the type of diesel has that much to do with the algae problem. The biggest problem I have heard is biodiesel has the ability to aggressively clean your fuel system and can cause clogged filters till the system is clean. Like Britt said this is a complex subject. Bill

I am not going to say you should have labeled the wires and taken lots of pictures before you took the cables off. Really I am not going to say it. Hopefully Fleetwood can email you a diagram quickly. Bill

Welcome to the forum Kent and hoggem. The most common product used is Dicor lap sealant. There are several varieties for different types of roof such as rubber or fiberglass. There are also two different consistency Dicor products. The self leveling and the non self leveling. You don't want to use the self leveling where it can sag such as where the seam runs over the edge of the roof. Some people just clean the existing caulk and seal over it. This works but soon you get a big ugly mess and it may still leak. I tend to clean off the old sealant and re apply. Kent, I would try that number as that thread is over a year old and I haven't seen him back. Bill

One other thing to try is spray penetrating oil into the arm and slide the arm out sharply to see if the lock is just gummed up. If it starts working spray some oil in to keep it lubed. Bill

Try this, with the car hooked up try backing the car up and see if the arms lock. Is it a new tow bar? It may just be stiff. Bill

Chandler is next year March 7-10th and just a short run. The next International Convention is in Indianapolis, July 12-16, 2017. There will be lots of how to seminars and training available. Bill

I wish fagnaml would come back and talk to us. It still sounds to me he is not geting into 6th gear. Bill

Glad you are making progress. Have you tried Duncan Systems? There is another glass installer but I don't remember their name. Some one else will be along that can add them. http://www.duncansys.com/home Bill

Well that didn't take long it is sold and gone. Bill

Love this new forum format. now I don't see my signature. Bill

Look in the section "settings" and under "settings area" under "Signature" where you entered your signature and see if the switch "View signatures?" is on. It sounds more complicated than it is. Bill

Nice coach. Now you can add it to your signature. Bill

Like Brett said I would verify the rim with will work. The dealer should be able to do that. As to ride there are many components beside size of the side wall. The composition of the material and rubber make more difference. I am thinking these will be a little higher rated(weight wise) and you may be able to run less air pressure and improve the ride. You will need to weigh your coach to do that. New tires will give you a smoother ride any way. Bill

$49,500 is cheap for that quality coach. Bill

Not my ideal coach If it doesn't have opposing slides in the front I am not interested. But it looks like a cream puff for those looking for something with no slides. Bill

There have been several people posting in the past that wanted a coach with no slides. I was looking at something else when this popped up. I think if you are looking for a premium coach with no slides this is a steal. It is a 1996 Foretravel. For those who don't know I would consider Foretravel to be one of the top 5 makers. http://kennedale.rvusa.com/1996-foretravel-u295-36-diesel-used-class-a-tx-i1975638 I just thought I would share.
