Until you can get the corners weighed, knowing your axle weights are useful in setting your tire pressure. As you know you have to use the heavier weight on a axle to set all tires on that axle. Bill

Welcome the forum. Look in the FMCA tow guide or here at Remco: http://www.remcoindustries.com/Towing/Store.php Bill

It works great. Bill

Raise the pressure on half and lower it on the others. Bill

I call Coach net. I think if you do a little searching you will find driving with all the weight on one duel will damage the good tier and need to be replaced to. Bill

How are you going to limp if it is a flat on the front? Bill

Well the OP hasn't ben back since his last post 21 March 2015 - 02:21 PM. I surest he found out that I posted was true. Bill

Along with what Wayne said clean all the contacts and ground. Bill

Are you sure it is 2/3 full? Those gauges are notoriously in accurate. Bill

Welcome to the forum Wiley, Why are you having trouble? I recommend the Tappan Zee Bridge on 287. I just drove from DC to RI and used the George Washington on 95. The Tappan is cheaper. Bill

Try Filter Barn and see if they have a better price. Bill

Doc, I have a Acme Tow Dolly and they do work well. Hear is a tip. When you are loading the car on the dolly leave about an 11/2 - 2 inch gap between the tires and the front bar. I know the instructions say to pull it up tight BUT I kept having a hard time getting the straps to stay tight. I diagnosed the problem down to the fact that the straps don't slide on the tires. If you leave a little gap and put the car in neutral when you are tightening the straps the tires can rotate forward and take all the slack out of the strap. After you have the straps tight put it back in park and set it up for tow. Using this method I never had a strap come loose. Bill

You do not need the extra lights. I used a dolly for couple of years no problem. The disclaimer is I have never driven after dark yet. Bill

Not picking on you but too many people post hearsay and it confuses the people that don't know. Bill

I don't pull the fuse and have never had a problem with the battery going down. The longest I have traveled in a day was from Washington DC to RI and that was about 7 hours. If you feel nervous about having the battery go dead you can always start the car at your lunch stop. You can probably find a replacement or a better connector for your fuse switch at most car parts stores. Bill

I have not heard of any problems with a 24 valve engine because it had anything to do with design. I do think they run better. How robust do you need? No one is having problems. "I believe I read that 1998 to 2002 models had the most problems, but I would not swear to it." You need to have something to back that up as all you have posted is hearsay. Bill

Quick search shows both of the listed coaches go between 55-65,000 that will by a LOT of repairs on a coach you have and like. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Here is a good place to research campground. I often use Google to find parks then check them out with this site. http://www.rvparkreviews.com/ You should look at this site for discounts on campgrounds. http://www.passport-america.com/ Bill

I bet you can find another used DP for what a 2006 Winnebago 35A and a 2005 Itasca 38J cost. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I towed with a dolly for a couple of years. Some things to watch for, the dolly will track outside your rear wheels so leave a little extra room when making a turn. You don't want to drag the dolly over a curb or through a ditch, or worse hit a poll or other objects as you turn. Leave more room between you and the gas pumps to. You may have to adjust your position in your lane as the tow dolly wheals may be running on the white line or over it. Some roads have a rumble strip and you don't want to be dragging your dolly wheal over that for any distance. The trick to getting the straps tight the first time is don't pull the car tight agents the front stop when you load. The straps don't slide on the tier when you tighten them. After you have the straps around the tier and ready to tighten take the car out of park. Now tighten the straps. This allows the tier to roll forward and tighten the strap behind the tier. When done follow the tow dolly manufacture instructions on setting your car up to tow. You have to unload the car and disconnect the dolly before backing into a back in site. I always tried to get a pull through as I could just leave the dolly attached. This helps a lot when just overnighting in a place, much easier to get going in the morning. "How do you tell if the gas station you're trying to use is big enough to avoid getting dead-ended?" Start looking at gas stations now when you are driving your car around. Practice looking for clearance issues low canopy's how the pump islands are laid out, Do you have deep curbs steep driveway or other things that might cause a problem. Will it be easy to exit back to the road you want to be on. I always try to use an out side island. One big thing don't wait till you NEED gas before you start looking for a station. I start at 1/2 tank this gives you options. "How do you identify (in advance) other situations to avoid?" Practice when you are driving your car. Think like you are driving your coach with a dolly hooked behind it and you can't back up. I never had a problem with my surge brakes driving in the mountains. Bill

The best way to do your oil analysis is to do it a couple of weeks before you change your oil. I have seen several people get reports back that had indications of problems or they just got a bad sample. The problem is if you do the sample when you change your oil and you get a bad sample you can't re test to see it is just a bad sample. So I send off my samples before I change the oil. If they come back good I can change the oil or if in doubt send a new sample for comparison. Bill

Welcome to the forum Red. Yes is it the dash or roof air?

I was talking about from Montgomery, Alabama to Denver.

Let me stir the pot a little. I recommend the 15-40 as you are cover what ever the conditions are. I also recommend using Mobil 1 full synthetic for the extra protection. Bill

Wayne, If you are going to be in the Fort Collins area north of Denver I would go East on I 80 to Cabela's Then take 385 to 79 to Rapid City to Mount Rushmore area. I was traveling the other direction from the Washington coast. I had several people tell me the easiest way into Yellowstone was from the north one lives in the area so that is how/why I went in the way I did. I 90 to Livingston Montana from The Bighorn Battlefield then south on 89 to Yellowstone. To get to Glacier just get back on I 90 West. The roads aren't that different than driving in the East. We just drove from Ft Worth to DC I 30 to Little rock then I 40 to I 81 then 66 to the beltway. Lots of hills in the East to. I am tired tonight spent all day in the American history Museum. Have you picked a route from home to Denver? Bill
