I cheated, I made the dealer install mine as part of the deal when I bought my CR-V. Bill

Carl the owners manual was specific about disconnecting the battery. Bill

I was there yesterday good place to test. I wonder how much the blowing dust will degrade performance. Tucson wasn't to bad but driving in from Deming was a little rough. Bill

Did you save the changes when you exited? Try it again. Bill

Look at page 400 (in your owners manual) under Recreational Vehicle Towing. I would look at the warning starting on page 402. To avoid death, serious injury, or property damage, before dinghy towing the vehicle, always disconnect and secure the negative battery cable and cover the negative battery post and cable with a non-conductive material. If the battery is left connected or the battery cable contacts the post, the Electric Parking Brake may activate during towing, which could cause a crash. I would read all of the Recreational Vehicle Towing a couple times. https://www.ownersmanualhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2019-Chevrolet-Silverado-Manual.pdf I have never heard of anyone geting in trouble for length.

Why do you need to go "full time" Sell everything for penne's on the dollar and then you have to replace it at retail in a unknown period of time? My out look is when we go on a trip I am full time till I get back. You find you will need to be back to see your doctors more often as time goes on. Doesn't mean you can't do extended trips. longest trip last year was 97 days. So I think you can travel and not be full time. We did 21 states 51 camp grounds and 11,650 miles in the camper. I will put that up against many of the "full timers" Who are just living in their RV. By the way watched the Tucson air show today from my patio at Tucson / Lazydays KOA Resort. We will be back home around the first of the month. Bill

I did that with my last RV. I didn't want any problems. However I bought this RV after I was retired and didn't have a problem so I don't know. fagnaml, Go now! Bill

Need some clarification. Are you setting the truck up to be towed or ? What model? Bill

Welcome to the forum. Bill

Yes that is a complicated question. I also think it is a very personal decision. I think you are lucky to be in the situation you are in. I will make the comment about how much you like your job. How long would go in for free. "How did you know when it was time to retire?" I had been waiting to get all the "points" I needed. I already had a RV and I was traveling before that. The big indicator for me was when they cane around and said "we will give you money to quit" "Did you develop a plan for how to spend your time in retirement or just "go for it"?" I had the plan to travel more as we were already traveling. There are many things you can do. We are active in Scouting and do meals wheels. Right now we have cut back because were out of town but do fill in on routs where the regular drivers are out. If you want to learn a town deliver meals. Seriously if you do anything but sit in your recliner you will after a few weeks you will say "I don't know how I had time to go to work. I have to much to do today." "How long before retirement did you start thinking /planning your retirement before making the decision to retire?" Many years ago. The big thing you should think about and understand. You don't know how long you have!! One of my big fears was watching people who had worked their whole life not make that day. Or ended up in such bad shape they couldn't do any thing or really enjoy life. Bill

Is that a April Fools day thing? Bill

Congratulations on The new to you 2009 Fleetwood. What I am not understanding is now you now say " replacement RV that is being shipped to us from FLA to MI in a couple of weeks"?? What happened to the 2009 Fleetwood? I have never seen a Separate washer and dryer that weren't stacked. Bill

C-677946, I agree most/all the Roadside Assistance Companies are just middle men. You might get a few things like they pay the first trip out by a mecanic or wrecker but are just concierge type company's. Little Valley, NY, Don't see maney from that part of the world. I grew up in Westfield NY. Bill

Interesting but I don't see anything that much better than my little camper. Headed West tomorrow. Bill

The middle one should drive grate. I have heard that tag axels make a big difference. I do think he may have a bit of a problem with "tail swing". The bottom looks' like a early airstream class "A" prototype. It is shown with the optional "pet goat door and ramp". Bill

Are you manually downshifting to keep your rpm up? Bill

That is a interesting clastic. You might also look at a 6.7 Cummings ISB. Bill

Why don't you call a couple of your local Cummins dealers and ask them? Bill

Haven't had a 6.7 but my 5.9 would run 35+. What does Freightliner think the problem is? Have you checked the CAC for leaks or all the clamps on the airline/ducks in and out of the turbo? Bill

There is a nice RV park just off I-35 just south of Killeen. We stayed there on night last year. Valley View RV Park, 13483 I-35, Jarrell, TX 76537, https://vvrvpark.com/, 512-887-9168. Bill

You do realize Killeen is about 150 miles south of the FW Dallas area. Bill

That is true. Heatwave now in FW it is 36. Bill

Good let us know what you find. Bill

I would just use the off the shelf strength. Bill

I don't have any experience with that brand generator. It may not Have a vent to the atmosphere like the older diesel's did. I would try to find a parts breakdown and see if you can find it. Bill
