  1. Did you know the Core of Engineers is doing something smart on Galveston island? They use to take all the sand they dredged from the ship canal out to deep water and dump it. Now they are pumping it on shore along the seawall for beach remediation. Places that you stepped into water when you stepped off the seawall now have a 100 yards of beach or more. Bill
  2. But on the other hand I am glad (sort of) that http://motorhomesoftexas.com/# sold the 2006 Newell they had. It was cheaper than a bunch of new coaches of lesser quality. It looked and drove like new. But if you are looking for a CC they have several. Bill
  3. Carl, are you talking about Peter Luger's place? You know you can order his aged steaks and extra thick cut bacon shipped next day air. https://peterluger.com/butcher-shop.html No dog like an old dog. Have you tried this dog? http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/07/texas-rangers-boomstick-hot-dog Bill
  4. Yes that sounds good. But how long was your Filet Mignon (Prime) aged? Was it a wet or dry aging process? Bill
  5. I grilled some steaks last night on hand split mesquite. Rubbed them with a select blend of herbs and spice all bought fresh not dried. Bill
  6. The first thing I would do is pull the front of the thermostat off, inside is a fuse, pull that for a short time and replace it, see if that helps. I have done this a couple of times to fix problems. Good luck. Bill
  7. I couldn't say it any better than how Herman did. Welcome to the forum. Bill
  8. Well as long as you are at the campground you should be plugged in and that will recharge the coach batteries. I carry a battery charger for just such problems. Perhaps you can find someone at the park who has a charger you can borrow or some jumper cables. Hopefully you can sort out your wiring to the suburban. Bill
  9. EskerBahn, Welcome to the forum. I have a lock similar to what tcolburn has but mine uses a spring that pushes a split collar over to hold the bed up. Just press it to the side when you want to lower the bead. Bill
  10. Randy, Welcome to the Forum. Herman is right about Motorhomes of Texas. You should look at http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/diesel/diesel-motorhomes.php as they always have some nice units. They have a section where they post the sold price which can be useful: http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/sold/diesel-motor-homes.htm Bill
  11. I think it is fairly clear. I would make it simpler in just use 10 lbs over and set the TPMS to 2 lbs over the minimum inflation pressure. This way you get a warning before you are under the minimum allowable pressure for the load. This still gives an 8 lb cushion before you get a low pressure warning. Bill
  12. The other upgrade I would look at is the tuner by 5 Star http://5startuning.com/ Many people happy with how they improve performance and shift patterns. Bill
  13. Wish I could be there but plan on being in Shawnee. Bill
  14. Welcome to the forum. Have you installed a rear track bar? I have several friends who have and say it was the most effective at stopping the tail from wagging the dog. I can see how the Sumo Springs can help locate the body to the frame. The company that can make smooth transitions on and off bridges smooth expansion joints will get my vote. Air ride will not stop the sharp bump regardless what some claim. I don't think low pressure tera tiers would stop all the bump. Bill
  15. I am trying to understand what is so different between the Tahoe and your new truck. The only thing I can think of being different would be if the new truck is a auto and you had to disconnect the driveshaft. Remco makes a disconnect so you don't have to crawl under the truck to disconnect it. I am towing with a Blue Ox tow bar so I am familiar with the process. Bill
  16. Glad you posted that link. I am on the road and noticed last night my light wasn't working. Bill
  17. Welcome to the forum. One of those hard learned lessons. I have made it my plan to run the awning in if I am not setting under it. Never leave the coach with it out. I have seen big winds come up with no warning. Is the bend sharp or gradual over the length of it? If it is gradual you might be able to straighten it enough to be usable till you find another/replacement. If it is a real sharp bend, its bent. Bill
  18. Herman has some great ideas. I would definitely be headed to Galveston Island. There are a lot of places to stay there but I usually stay at Galveston Island State park, 14901 FM3005, Galveston, TX 77554, tpwd.state.tx.us, (409) 737-1222 I have also stayed at Dellanera RV Park, 10901 Termini-San Luis Pass Rd, Galveston, TX 77554, galveston.com, (409) 797-5102. Not that far down the coast is Rockport I have stayed at Lagoons RV Resort, 600 Enterprise Blvd, Rockport, TX 78382, lagoonsrv.com, (361) 729-7834 nice place. Not far is Mustang Island State Park, Corpus Christi, TX, One fun thing to do when visiting Galveston Island is to go on one of the trips to watch the dolphins in the harbor. You can do it for free just take the ferry across the channel. I have always seen dolphins doing that. Don't get me started with all the good places to eat. Bill
  19. I don't know how I ever had time to go to work. Bill
