Welcome to the forum David. I think you are going to find that Honda changed the transmission and you can no longer tow one 4 down.Same thing you can't tow a CR-V 4 down after 2014. Did you not check before you bought the Odyssey? When both Honda and Remco say use a tow dolly, that is what I would believe. Bill

I went and looked on my New Hampshire E-ZPass account to see how they had the RV and car listed. For Motorhome: Vehicle Type Code: 459 2Ax:Recreational Vehicle/ Motor Home:Dual Tr. For car: Vehicle Type Code: 72 2Ax:Automobile/ Sport Utility(maybe trailer) Bill

Here is an idea for doing what the suggested tone probe does. I think if I am reading this right it has a ring function. With leads long enough to reach the ends of the wires you can do the same thing. and it is under $10.00. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-multimeter-digital-with-8-functions-and-20/p-03482141000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&gclid=CjwKEAiA3_axBRD5qKDc__XdqQ0SJAC6lecA87eeShuTd__KV_0WP-2MfNfMD9frnN2zNy3GkZ3JfRoCGCvw_wcB Find where the wiring bundle comes from and where it attaches in the back. Connect the leads to the white wires in the connector's/canon plug (on each end) then go to the brake and use a jumper to find the right wires to connect at the break. when the meter rings you will know those ends go together. It is harder to explain than to do. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I think the first thing to do is go read and become familiar with section 10-70 and 10-71 under Vehicle Care of your owners manual. Next go hear for the part numbers for your base plate and lights. I recommend the BX7445 Aventa LX Tow bar as it has a 10,000 pound rating. This way if you decide to tow a heavier towed you have the capacity with out needing to by a different tow bar. I also like the extra capacity as a nice safety cushion. http://blueox.com/products/baseplates/bx1708-gmc-acadia-includes-denali/ You can get the part number for the Blue Ox Patriot Braking System hear to. Then shop for the best price. You can also find recommended installers on the website. This is my advice Bill

Welcome to the forum. Nice coach. Bill

Did you have a E-ZPass and where was it? I think having the pass takes the interpretation of the toll taker out of it. Before I had a E-ZPass I was charged different rates at the same toll plaza on the same day. I was doing some research on E-ZPass tolls and found this site that shows what different configurations should be charged. Go look they base it (apparently) on how many axles and if you have duel's on the rear axle. https://www.ezpassnh.com/en/about/toll_calculator.shtml?f=HooksettRamp&c=3 According to this site 4 axle's and single tiers on the back cost $.70 while 2 axle's and duel tiers on the back axle will cost $.90. When I was looking at getting my pass on line they wanted to do the motorhome as a commercial truck with higher initial toll deposit. Yet when I walked In they did not make me get the commercial tag?? They also told me to keep the transponder for the toad in it's shielded bag when in tow. Bill

Try removing more of the protective cover on the bundle you might be able to find some readable markings. The more room you have to work the easier it will be to do the repair. What does this bundle go to? From? Bill

I recommend you get a E-ZPass. I have one for the coach and one for the toad. The one for the toad goes into a shielded envelop when being towed behind the coach. You will save money and take any erroneous toll taker interpretation of the toll out of the equation. I had that happen to me. Went through the same plaza on different days and got charged differently. You can get one on line. I got my E-ZPass at a walk in sales store in New Hampshire this summer. https://www.e-zpassny.com/en/about/about.shtml I am going to try not to go that way again but the toll over the GeorgE Washington Bridge with RV and toad and no pass was $76.00. There is legislation in the works to make all toll tags interoperable. Bill

Knowing how poorly my tires grip I would never try launching a boat with my rig. I can get stuck on the level in 1/4 inch of mud. Bill

What makes you think they have to flip over? They are more of a wiper not a seal. Please don't go sticking your finger in there when the slide is moving. Why not call or email the manufacture and see what they say. Bill

They must have been in hiding. I wanted to ask them some questions. I did look and see they are scheduled to be in Perry in 2016 Booth space(s): 500 - 507 Bill

Welcome to the forum. How long are you leaving it on? Have you checked for power where the hot water power supply plugs in? Bill

Apparently it Skeerd him too bad to post what happened. Bill

Just a reminder put your air selector on your towed to recirculate it will reduce the smell in side the toad. Bill

The only problem I have never seen them at a rally or a RV show in my area. That includes Perry Ga. Last year. I had my Blue Ox serviced at Perry and again at the FMCA 6 state in Conroe Texas. Last month for $30.00. Strange they wouldn't fix it or offer help with a replacement. What if any thing happened to cause the problem? Have you tried penetrating oil such as PB Blaster to see if you can free it up? Bill

Easy enough to get a fairly good idea of your MPG just do an average of the last 5 fill ups. I use Gas Buddy and it keeps a running average. Bill

Where are you located? Are you in a state that has EZPass? You can walk in or do it on line or call. If you are not in the north east I would do it before I traveled there and save some money. You need one per vehicle. If you are towing your toad they told me to take the toad transponder and place it in the special bag so it can't be read. http://www.e-zpassiag.com/ Bill

Welcome to the forum. Before you run out and by a new diesel and find out you still don't have a smooth ride on the rough roads there are a few things that might help your current ride. I would weigh your coach and set my tier pressure to the tier manufactures weight tables. This may soften the bumps. Check your shocks and upgrade if needed. Check your bushings on the sway brace. Bill

The OP is talking about renting a class A, not renting his out. Bill

Glad you finally got "re tired" I know those have been hard to come by. Where are you looking for winter digs? Bill

Some times when the filter is dirty it causes a vacuum in the return side that will try to pull air in through the condensation drains. This keeps the water from draining and will drip on the inside. Good idea to clean/replace the filters often. Bill

I would put that money in a savings account. Most of the warranty/insurance contracts have so many disclaimers that they can deny nearly all claims. Do a search there are many post hear about being denied and few about getting something fixed. I self insure and so far I have replaced a convection microwave for $430.00 and a slide relay for $110.00 in the last 3 years. If you do your maintenance you shouldn't have any problems. In your case you have a newer coach and by now should have all the little problems fixed. I would think you should be able to go a long time with no problems. We hear about the problems people have hear on the forum but never hear about the coaches on the road who never have a problem. Bottom line you have to do what makes you happy. Yes you absolutely need Coach Net. Don't leave home with out it. Bill

I did see a Class A diesel at 350 a day locally. Yes it may be expensive but cheaper than buying then 4-6 mouths later selling at a big discount. Bill

Not that familiar with the Richmond, VA area. What are you looking for gas or diesel? There are a couple of places but I don't think they rent class A coaches. You might call and see if they know of anyone. Cruise America (804) 658-1422 Or Freedom RV 804-798-3379. Good luck. Bill

Welcome to the forum. It is ok to tell us why. But let me guess. Your break away cable got pulled or your auxiliary brake system wasn't installed right or you didn't pump your brakes before you towed. But please inform us. Bill
