Thanks for the update. So your coach is running good with no problems? Bill

Wasn't that nice of them. Isn't that an AN -16 line? You should be able to order one or just have it made at a local shop. Like others have said it would be good to have the old line as a sample. I had one blow along 30 at S.Iris rd. in Indiana this summer. Bill

Keep an eye on PPL as they have new coaches coming in weekly. Bill

Like Brett said it is hard to do "arm chair diagnosis". Here is that big BUT, I am having a hard time understanding how a failed turbo would cause a head gasket to leak. Well it has been since Sept 30 and no update. Bill

That is who I would talk to if having it done. Bill

Just a reminder about one of the FMCA benefits, the Michelin advantage program. Remember you can buy regular car and truck tires through the program. I had to replace my toad tires and saved $172.00 on 4 Michelin Defenders. They just happen to be the highest rated by Consumer Reports in that class. If you are in the Fort Worth area I can give you contact info on a good place to do business with.Bill

Interesting as ProOne XPL101 looks and performs much like Strike Hold "cdlp".I have been using Strike Hold on my ground power connection and some other places. Go look at the video. http://www.strike-hold.com/ Bill

Carl look hear for a small bottle. https://www.amazon.com/ProOne-Pro1-XPL-Penetrating-Lubrication/dp/B01924LWOM Bill

I bet they are in Mexico by now. Bill

Tom if you want the best info see Ernie Ekberg. http://www.ernieekbergflooring.net Bill

After reading all the responses I will add my response to the top of the pile. First of all the condo is your coach not where you happen to be parked. I think you are better renting and not buying a spot. The only time is if you are going full time and you decide you need a home base. I wouldn't be on the East coast more likely in the valley. If you are going full time I would look hear for more info. http://www.rvnetwork.com/ Bill

Bill, sorry to hear about your mother. Be careful just make shure you get in secure what you need to and get out till the storm moves on. Just watching news depending on where you need to go you may not be able to get in till the storm is over. Bill

Welcome to the forum. That is a generous offer, I am good but I hope no one gets caught in the storm. Bill

Chuck, Right now go find the emergency exit and make sure it opens. I repeat open it don't just find it. Some get stuck from never being opened. Yes having the front door locked is a problem but what are you going to do if you have a fire between you and the door? Bill

Glad you got it fixed. Bill

Yes look in your owner's manual under recreational towing or emergency towing. Mostlikley if it is front wheel drive you can use a dolly. If it is all wheel drive probably not. Bill

After re reading this, You said you had one gage showing air pressure and one that didn't. I bet it is the air line to the one not showing any pressure. Let us know what you find. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Yes quality is a problem at all levels in the RV world. Bill

Welcome to the forum. It should be fairly easy to make a tip and have it welded to the end of your existing part. It can be "calibrated" when you do your next oil change. When looking for a replacement measure what you have and add about a foot. The excess can be trimmed off if needed. Talk to big truck parts places. Bill

First let me explain these are not cheap batteries. They are OEM for Freightliner. The standard price is $139.00 ea. The ones I took out were still good after 8 years. I had planned on changing my start batt next year as a PM. But for that price I changed them this year. Now please tell me how much you payed for "Lifeline" AGMs that are only guaranteed for 7-10 years. Bill

One thing not mentioned is the lines to the emergency brake valve on the dash. If the air noise is coming from the dash area I would check it. Bill

Just a heads up on a good price for batteries. I was at Freightliner Fort Worth Friday and saw they were still running their oem (groupe 31 I think) start batteries for $69.00. Should be at any Freightliner dealer. That is cheap, I bought two this spring. They weren't old stock just a month old. Bill

Without the noise how will you stay awake? Bill

When you are going down the road open your window and reach out and grab the struts for the window awning they often make a lot of noise. Bill

The donut is just a rubber sleeve to seal the hose into the receiving pipe. Most places have a threaded fitting that your elbow will thread into or not depending on it's condition. look at the picture of the sewer hose only partially in the drain that was posted above. You can see the donut in the drain. The main purpose is to seal the drain and prevent odors from escaping. Bill
