  1. I don't know for sure on your coach but on my coach if the fluid level is low it thinks the jacks are still down. I would check the reservoir and top it up and see if that helps. Look at the jacks and see if they are all the way up. I would check and top off the brake reservoir and tell us what you find. Bill
  2. Good luck getting anyone to agree to that. Bill
  3. The first question is what is your skill/experience level? If you are experienced in traveling on narrow two lane roads you shouldn't have a big problem on either rout. If you don't feel comfortable I would stay on major roads as much as possible. Bill
  4. Try a search on handling problems. This is a fairly common subject. I would look at a rear track bar to help control the sway (sideways) from passing trucks. Bill
  5. The "Amanan's" are a different group not Amish or Mennonites. You will find it interesting the shops on the main tourist street close at 5:00 PM and the restaurants at about 7:00. There is still a big factory in one of the villages where they make Amana appliances. The RV park is interesting as if you are the first it is a pull through if not it is a back in and you share the power pedestal. You could end up with only a 30 amp plug available and the utilities on the wrong side of the coach. Is the SR-71 fast? well one time I was watching a launch on a clear day. I started timing from the moment he started to roll till he was out of sight, 55 seconds was all it took. You could hear him a lot longer but you couldn't see him. Yes I would say it was faster than advertised. Bill
  6. Herman, look up The Amana Colonies, It might be a day trip while they are working on your coach. We stayed at the RV park a couple weeks ago, amanarvpark.com, not great, but interesting area. Blake, I like the RV park at Cabela's stayed there 2 years ago. The SR-71 Blackbird is an amazing plane. I have worked on a couple of them when I was in the AF. Bill
  7. Go to this page and follow the instructions, You need to be signed in. http://www.fmca.com/benefits/75-motorhome-trip-routing.html Bill
  8. Hear is a link. https://coach-net.com/Products/Hazard-Protect Bill
  9. Most need the pedal to be moved up or down. The sprayer hose tees in after the water valve. Bill
  10. Has anyone had experience with the new tire program Coach Net is offering? If it is as good as the road side assistance it may be a viable option. Bill
  11. "I am not dismissing your advice as yet." Quite frankly I Don't care if you dismiss my advise as I don't have to pay for your repairs. Bill
  12. Welcome to the forum. Here is what Remco has to say. http://www.remcoindustries.com/Towing/Store.php I have a 2012 Civic and there is NO way to make it towable 4 down. I used a dolly. Now I have a CRV all wheel drive that can be towed 4 down but not on a dolly. Bill
  13. I would trade the one I couldn't tow in on one I could tow. I am much happier having one I can tow 4 down. I have watched and actually helped people trying to move a car trailer. It isn't fun when you don't have room at your site or the campground won't let you keep it at your site. Bill
  14. The main benefit is the ability to tow a car that otherwise couldn't be towed 4 down. You need to check the manual carefully to see if it can be towed on a dolly or 4 down. Look at the FMCA towing guide. You can allso look at Remco.com to see if they make adapters make a car towable (lube pump or disconects). I used a tow dolly for a couple of years then bought my current car that can be towed 4 down. I prefer towing 4 down but would use a dolly if that was the only way to take a car with me. I WOULD NEVER TRAVEL WITHOUT A TOAD!!!! The weight restrictions are based on what your coach is rated to tow and your hitch restrictions. Obviously the lighter the better with in reason. Bill
  15. I use Copilot. You can download the maps for the area you are traveling in when you have wifi and it doesn't use data. I have a hot spot and it is very seldom I can't get a signal Bill
  16. Get the numbers cast into the lense and do a google search. My headlights came from a BMW M3. Bill
  17. If some one gave me a Provost without slides my first stop would be Texas Custom Coach to have slides put in. I can't imagine having a coach with no slides. If TCC did the work it would be better than the original. Bill
  18. Use your credit card not your debit. The reason is the debit will pay strait across. If the bill is $50.00 Canadian it will pay $50.00 US. With the credit card (call and tell them you are traveling to Canada so they don't shut it off) it will pay the $50.00 Canadian and then bill your account at the exchange rate. Right now it is $1.00 US = $1.30 Canadian. Bill
  19. I think you are good to go. I think the factory setting is right about where I would set it. The excess gets re routed to the tank. Having enough fuel and above the minimum pressure will add to reliability. It will be interesting to see what the fuel pressure is at full throttle. Bill
  20. Leslie, Welcome to the forum. What does the owner's manual say under towing? Bill
  21. I understand but the OP said he doesn't know how it should drive. By driving several different coaches he can get a better idea on how it should drive. Bill
  22. jbrunson, I did a post on replacing my sway bar bushings. Sometimes they can look ok but not be stiff enough to do their job. I used polyurethane bushings. I don't have good enough wifi to search for it tonight. I think it might be beneficial to go test drive a couple of coaches to gain more experience. Bill
