  1. I don't know how I ever had time to go to work. Bill
  2. Rich I know what you meant to say 500 GIG. The 500meg brought back a memory. The first computer I bought. I opted for the bigger 40meg hard drive. People told me I was nuts as I would never fill it up. go big and get a1 Petabyte. Bill
  3. I hate to sound like a broken record, but I would do the Track bar to stabilize the rear of the coach first. But it's your money. If you want to know which one you need I would call the people at Blue Ox,Toll-Free: 800-228-9289, Phone: 402-385-3051 M-F 7:30-5:30 CST or info@blueox.com. Fax: 402-385-3360 info@blueox.com M-F 7:30-5:30 CST Bill
  4. I use to work for a small kind of start up aviation place hear in Fort Worth. You may not have heard of them Lockheed Martin. Bill
  5. Hope it is fixed. I know what a pain in the ... it is to have something bother you on the road. Bill
  6. I think a good rear track bar may help rear end sway when passing or being passed by big rigs. look hear http://blueox.com/chassis-performance/ In order I would do the track bar then the heavier sway bar then maybe the true center. I would do a good check drive after each upgrade before doing the next. There have been several articles on the Sumo springs lately. http://www.supersprings.com/sumosprings_overview_solo.asp Bill
  7. Welcome to the forum. What large aircraft repair station? Bill
  8. Do you have a gage so you can check the lift pump pressure? I know you changed it but it would eliminate one possibility. Bill

    Copilot

    I use it on my tablet and phone. They have just announced a new RV app that does some of the same stuff as RV Parkey. It was about $50.00 The one I have (free or real cheap) does a good job. There are a lot of settings you can modify to suit your taste. Bill
  10. I don't have a gas coach now but this is the one I would buy. http://blueox.com/chassis-performance/tigertrak-track-bars/ Depends what your ability, skill level is, whether you can install it. I don't think it is that big of a job. Bill
  11. Why can't you carry a couple of tanks? Bill
  12. Yes just use good ventilation, a fan is nice. Don't over use it and wipe up any excess. Don't use it if you aren't comfortable. I don't recall of a single incident when using it. Probably would have heard if someone set a 155 million plane on fire. Bill

    Tire Wear

    Welcome to the forum. The first thing I would do is weigh the coach. Once you know how much you weigh (4 corner weights are better) you can properly adjust your tire pressure. Personally it sounds like you need more pressure. I would also check the load range of the tires. Bill
  14. Welcome to the forum. Personally I don't use a stand alone gps. I have been using CoPilot. You can download the maps when you have wifi so you aren't using data. I have it on my tablet and phone. You can select RV from the Vehicle Routing Profiles. I have been happy with how well it works. Bill
  15. I haven't tried WD-40, the benefit of isopropyl is when it dries it doesn't leave any residue and you can paint the surface. We use to use quite a bit of it cleaning areas with hydraulic leaks on F-35. Bill
  16. Like I said before. For the money the first thing I would add is a rear track bar. Bill
  17. I was looking at the picture again and it looks like there is a drip on the b nut right in front of the finger. That is where I would start. I would re torque and wipe everything down, re fill the reservoir and see it it is still leaking. By the way isopropyl is good for cleaning up hydraulic fluid. Bill
  18. It may be a loose fitting. Most Likely you are low on fluid from the leak and that is why it won't retract. I would re torque all the fittings and see if that will stop the leak. You will need to add fluid to the reservoir. Bill
  19. Welcome to the forum. I would not leave home without a supplemental braking system. Look at the link Imsooter posted. Even if your supplemental braking system only stopped you 10 feet shorter than without it. It is still better to stop short than 10 feet later, as in the car that stops suddenly in front of you. The other points about liability are verrey valid. Bill
  20. Welcome to the forum Bill. I am going on the road around the 16th. Hope to be back for the FMCA rally in Shawnee Oklahoma in September. Bill
  21. That was nice of them to do that. Bill
  22. Talk to your insurance man. I had them email me the info and I printed it out. When you get near the border shut off the "data" on your phone. You can pick up a Canadian tower and not know it. All those things that update automatically could cost you. In Canada data is my the Meg not the Gig. I waited till I had wifi and could use that for any data, such as internet. Bill
  23. Remember that link I sent you? Bill
