Welcome to the forum. Here is more than you wanted to know. What RV do you have? gas or diesel? Tools to plan trips Here are some tools to help you plan your trip. RV Parky is a good tool to find places to stay and plan routs. http://www.rvparky.com/ Gas Buddy You can download it from your app store. Find cheap gas and you can record your gas/fuel expenses. You can look ahead and see what the prices are where you are headed . It helps plan fuel stops. RV park reviews is a good tool to see what other people think about a place. http://www.rvparkreviews.com/ NPS you can look up things to see/points of interest. https://www.nps.gov/index.htm You can also see what campgrounds are available in the different parks. Also look at getting a pass and if you are 62 or older definitely get a Senior Pass it is a $100.00 Lifetime pass that covers everyone in your car. https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm You may have to wait till you get to your first park they have a great way to record the parks you have been to. It is called a Passport, you buy it in the visitor’s center, it kind of looks like a Passport but you add stickers and stamp the date and time you were at the park. One other thing you need is get a Passport America discount card. This is a tool to help campgrounds fill empty spots during the week or slow times. Each campground sets the time and discount but most times it is 50% and some places 3-4 days. We saved about $450.00 last year. I think I got my $44.00 back. http://www.passport-america.com/ For navigation, I highly recommend CoPilot. We have used it for several years and it does a great job. The big benefit is you can download maps when you have Wi-Fi and it doesn’t use data. I have it on the phones and on my tablet. The tablet gives a bigger picture to see and follow. I like Yelp when on the road to see what places there are and to get reviews, see menus. Who wants to drive 2000 miles to eat the same fast food stuff you have at home. Oh Ranger, is a park locator for those hidden gems like Antelope Island in the great Salt Lake. Rest Stops, is a good app. You might look at the apps for all the big truck stops Pilot Flying J, Loves, or get the ALLSTAYS Big Truck Stops. See how easy it is. Just head East on I-40, when you get to Oklahoma City go south on I-35 to Texas.😁 Bill

Are you using bolts or screws? If bolts what nuts are you using? Bill

Welcome to the forum. Well it depends on what your needs are. Full hookups at Ruby's or dry camping in the park. Next time in the area I will probably stay at Ruby's Bill

I started using STA-LUBE wheel bearing grease years ago because it realey did stay in the bearings, even after 10-15,000 miles. When you pulled the bearings out they looked like you just packed them. I had a 1967 Chevy 1/2 ton that was tough on bearings and after as little as 5,000 miles there would be no grease in them and metal flakes showing up. I would use their brand (appropriate grease for the application) grease on most everything. After all you have to like a place that says their products are “Intentionally Better Products.” https://www.crcindustries.com/products/grease.html This would be my recommendation. Bill

I would look on You Tube. I would do like Ray said and look for a service manual. https://www.generac.com/service-support/contact-us What happened with the " Im gonna take it to our shop and have other gen techs help me. Were gonna pull it out and do a complete level 3 service on it." Back in June? Bill

Well congratulations!!! Be nice to your new CEO and she will be nice to you. My only news is in the morning we are headed back home from a week in Angel Fire NM. Bill

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service. Bill

Crash damage should be covered by your main insurance.I would do a review of the exact coverage with your agent. Bill

Ray, are they making any progress on your coach? Bill

I had to remember how to turn on a little heat. It was 39 in Angel Fire this morning. Bill

Ray, that is the best way I can think of. Bill

Try hooking up a different source of propane. Maybe using the original set up. Bill

More importantly does your emergency window open? At a rally after a seminar on fire safety several people tried to open theirs and couldn't get them open. I have seen roll up ladders that were for that use. I also wonder if you could retro fit a escape door like Newmar has, with the built in ladder? Bill

Yes last year we did a rally at Swan Bay Resort & Marina. But we went west after that rally. I don't handicap my self like that. It is far easier to take the coach to an area using the best roads. Then take the toad and go explore. Bill

Yes and that unit should have the Comfort Drive system. I think something is messed up like maybe low air in the tiers or something in the suspension/passive steer or?? Bill

Welcome to the forum. Bill

I am not shure they make liquid spring add ons for diesel suspensions. He should have a tag on that model and I wonder if everything is adjusted correctly. Bill

Look it up on Cummins quikserve or call a Cummins dealer. Bill

So how are you getting to Burlington, Vermont? US 7 is not a bad 2 lane road but it has the usual problems of low branches in places and a lack of good places to stop or ease acess service. What bridge do you plan on using to cross the Hudson? Don't use the GW. Do you have your E-Z Pass? If not get it before the trip or do a walk in. Looks like you could take US 7 down to I-84 then west to the Promised Land. (I just wonder how many people from that part of the world have used that phrase. We are headed west to the Promised Land.)😉 Bill

Bob, I don't think bigger tires are the answer to your problem. The first thing I would do is get an all wheel alignment. This would include checking the ride height. Have you driven any outher Newmar Ventana coaches? Bill

If I was going up in size from 16" I would rather go to the 19.5" rims because there are more options available. Bill

I would call NOW to get a reservation at Grand Canyon Trailer Village. The benefits are many, such as the bus stopes at the park and takes you every ware including places you can't drive. Bill

I would call your local Freightliner shop and see what the price is. Like Ross I also bought OEM batteries I think the price was under $90.00 ea. Bill

Thank you for your service. Welcome to the forum. Bill

First thing I would do is get a "All Wheel alignment" Talk to the shop and tell them the problems you are having. Towing 4 down is the method I would recommend. Bill
