  1. Noit is because you use the wrong TP. I would suggest doing what kaypsmith suggested as that is the most likely problem. Bill
  2. Blake. hear is a good source for information on your Allison transmission. http://www.allisontransmission.com/my-allison You will need your transmission serial number here two. I keep all my serial numbers handy in a file because when you talk to a parts place the first question they ask is "what is your serial number?" Bill
  3. I will have to come over and test yours as I don't have one of those modern fancy toilet's. Bill
  4. One more reason I park the RV and use the toad to explore the area. We stayed at Frontier Bar & Campground, 11296 US-2, Saxon, WI 54559, frontierbarandcampground.com, (715) 893-2461 While we explored the area. Yes there are some rough roads but low trees arn't a problem with the toad. Bill
  5. I don't care if it dissolves it still flushes out of the "holding tank" completely. The only times I have ever heard of a problem with a system plugging up is when someone leaves the black tank valve open. Please show me a post where someone used the right amount of water and had a problem. Bill
  6. Not a problem driving on Rt. 2. I drove it two months ago. What are your plans? Are you going to visit the park? Bill
  7. I got a LED light kit from Blue Ox. Separate light bulbs nothing hooked into the Honda wiring system. Bill
  8. I have used Charmin ultra strong since we got this coach and never had a problem. Please remember it is a holding tank not a septic tank. I have never had a problem emptying the tank. There is anecdotal knowledge (when a campground system backed up) that the paper breaks down pretty completely. Bill
  9. Montana, Colorado or Wyoming. are great in the summer but not that great in the winter. Bill
  10. I don't have that much experience with having a coach towed. However I think it has to do with the language in the plan and the legalese. Bill
  11. I highly recommend you download RVParkey and RV Park reviews http://www.rvparky.com/ http://www.rvparkreviews.com/ Bill
  12. One thing I want you to be aware of and it applies to most of the different companies, I am more experienced with Coach Net. You get a choice when you call in as to whether you want to have it towed or have a tech come out to you. If the tech can't fix it and it needs to be towed it is on your dime. So what you have is a concierge service that has a list of people to call and that pays for the service call. You are responsible for parts and the techs hourly charge, usually less than a shop. The same for whatever shop it is towed to. Your plan to have it towed home may work but if the first "qualified" shop is closer you may have to pay the difference to your place. Bill
  13. Yes we are traveling with the Red River Rovers. We had a little rally at Choctaw Casino. Bill
  14. We are going to be there tomorrow (Sunday) with 20 coaches all the way from Durant OK. Do you have the hydraulic jacks? If you do have you checked the level of fluid in the reservoir? Bill
  15. Welcome to the forum. RV Parky found at least 8 that looked doable within 10 miles. Bill
  16. Better yet Go to Cummins QuickServe and register with your engine serial number and you can look up everything about your engine. By the way this is what the dealer is looking at when he is looking up parts for your engine. https://quickserve.cummins.com/info/index.html Bill
  17. Most likely it didn't do any damage as you caught it in time. I would keep an eye on oil consumption for a while just to be sure. Bill
  18. Yes but if you were selling you would start by asking top dollar. It is easier to let the buyer talk you down than to move them up. You are going to see things that need to be fixed on a 18 year old coach. Your job is to find the coach with the fewest issues. Don't forget to check the date codes on the tires. Bill
  19. Just curious where you are getting your "retail price"? I would look at the "sold" list on PPL so you will have a idea what things are selling for. If they won't come down or fix the problems just walk away there are plenty of coaches on the market and we are fast approaching the "selling season" as people would rather sell than store it over the winter. Bill
  20. BE CAREFUL if you go poking around inside your microwave as they have a capacitor that holds a lethal charge of electricity. You can find troubleshooting instructions on the web, hear is one site. http://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Microwave/65-3-861752-/GE-Microwave-not-heating-PVM1790DR1BB Get an estimate before you leave it with anyone. I went through the same thing with my GE convection microwave oven. What I found was no one wanted you to take it to them, they all wanted to come to you so they could charge a service call. ALL the estimates were more than 50%-60% of the price of a new one. I ordered the same part number from Home Depot and got free shiping. Bill
  21. There are places that will custom match your colors and put it in a spray can for you. Do a search in your area. Bill
  22. Well you would think that the factory engineers would get it just right, but they have to meet specific criteria that may not produce the best tune for all occasions or in this case for RV applications. The 5 Star tuner tries to do a better job of tailoring the tune to a RV application. You can if you feel the need for more performance specify what octane gas you want to use all the way to 93 octane. One of the biggest advantages is it modifies the shift points so it doesn't down shift just because it is thinking about a hill. BOSTON BERNIE, The 5 Star will ad some performance and will help the shift points. The improvements aren't as dramatic as on the earlier V10 engins. Bill
  23. I am with you Bill, I don't like to hit the generator with a big load till it has a chance to warm up a little. On my system the ems takes a while before it displays what is powered. I usually wait till the screen is lit up showing what has power and what the amp load is. Newer AC units should have a delay to let the head pressure dissipate so they start easier. My #1 unit starts first, the fan comes on and about 30 sec later the compressor kicks in then #2 does the same thing. Bill
  24. Brett's method is a good practise. I have found that my coach defaults to the generator if it is running so I have to shut off the generator first. I do like Brett and shut down all loads so I can let the generator run on light load for a while before shutting it off. I use a Surge Guard to plug into the pedestal to check the power. Always turn the power off when plugging in or unplugging from the pedestal. The Surge Guard will monitor the power and if it drops to low will automatically disconnect the power so it can't damage my coach. Bill
  25. Some people confuse the 101 and state highway 1. I don't recommend taking your coach on the 1. Bill
