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

"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 -
Towing Package Design For 2009 Honda Civic
wildebill308 replied to sundance44's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
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 -
Benefits Of Tow Dolly Over 4 Tires On The Ground?
wildebill308 replied to bdensford's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
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 -
Benefits Of Tow Dolly Over 4 Tires On The Ground?
wildebill308 replied to bdensford's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
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 -
Mapping/Navigation Using Laptop With Windows 10
wildebill308 replied to squiredude's topic in Electronics
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- 10 replies

Honda CRV Towing
wildebill308 replied to spearfish1@gmail.com's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
No the towed milage does not register. Bill -
Get the numbers cast into the lense and do a google search. My headlights came from a BMW M3. Bill

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

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

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

Leslie, Welcome to the forum. What does the owner's manual say under towing? Bill

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

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

I don't see any reason you can't. For your own peace of mind I would measure the gap between the rear tires( at the bottom) I bet you have plenty of room. I don't think the more rotational mass will be a problem. I think the larger rolling diameter will help mileage. Bill

Is A Toad Brake System Required
wildebill308 replied to PRIESTLAKE's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I am with Tom, I don't tow without a supplemental brake(brake Buddy). I would rather stop a foot short of hitting something rather than a foot beyond hitting something. You might also consider if you have a accident the added legal issues especially in today's lets sue everybody society . Bill -
I have some warm sweaters I can loan Wayne till he can get back to warmer climates. Carl, the frog was in the security device as it had collected some water. Bill

I think it was Herman who was worried the portable surge guards were not waterproof. Well I have been testing my surge guard for the last couple of days and it has been thoroughly exposed to the elements. When I was unhooking in Saxon, WI yesterday in a heavy rain a little green frog jumped out of the locking device. I think they are plenty waterproof. Bill

Hope all goes well with your procedure. Bill

Congratulations Bill you are the highest (should I use that term for someone in CO?) and hottest person on the forum. Bill

Don't you have a auxiliary air compressor for the air leaving system? Bill

If you look at a map of lake Superior on the western end I am right on the lower point. closest town is Ashland, Wisconsin. Take it easy at 7000 ft, don't try running up the mountin. Bill

Just a thought all air systems lose air pressure over time. The question is "what is the acceptable rate". You might need to call the manufacturer and see what that is. Most (unless you have air leveling) coaches tell you to dump air when parked. You may be wasting your time chasing leaks if they are within limits. Bill

As you don't have your coach information in your sig it makes it impossible to give good answers. Yes it wouldn't hurt to call and have the vin number handy. Bill
