  1. One extra precaution I have found useful is after a rain and before brining in the slides. Tilt the coach front to back to drain any water pooled on the top of the slides. Bill
  2. First welcome to the forum. If you look most (this is a hint for what you should do) have their RV in their signature. Second if you think a retired Marine MSgt is the sane one in this group, you may fit right in. Bill
  3. Carl, Sad to hear about Nancy Wright. Condolences to Joe and family. I am getting a little work done like a new awning and fix some scratches (look like tail swing) that were there when I got it. Just waiting on the opening and parts to take it in. Would like to have it before the CC rally. Bill
  4. rayin, you are right I forgot to mention a good all wheel alignment is critical. Adding some extra castor is a good move to (it makes the front wheels track strait) do/check when doing the alignment. I think track bars help stabilize the suspension so you don't have as much movement like when a truck passes you. That second link I posted is interesting because it has a kit with all the upgrades. Bill
  5. First, welcome to the forum. There are a lot of good upgrades that can be done. My first step would be to upgrade the shocks, I would look at the Koni FSD. Try Shock Warehouse. https://www.shockwarehouse.com/ . Personally I would back track bars at the same time. Found something interesting when looking. https://www.ultrarvproducts.com/Stage-3-2006-Ford-F53-Class-A-20-22K-GVWR-Handling-Kit Bill
  6. No kidding!!! I finally found it. Try this Erniee, get to a page that has the header with all the drop down boxes in black and white. The first heading to the right of the "FMCA" is Membership. Click on that then click on Dashboard. Scroll down till you find it on the left side. On my computer it is the 5th thing down and is red. Good luck in your search. Let me know if you find it. Bill
  7. I put Continentals on my last coach. Continental 275/80R22.5 HSR2 Eco Plus 5120850000 list price $616.30 FMCA price $418.52 load range H What load range are you running now? Bill
  8. Welcome to the forum. That should be a pretty simple trip. Go north till you hit I-10 then go west to Houston. Pick up I-45 north. (wave at the Sam Houston statue as you go by) I-45 to I-20 then I-20 west. When you get near Fort Worth take 820 north (keeps you out of the down town area.) Follow 820 around to I-35w north. Go north on 287 when it splits off. 287 to Amarillo. Now you have at least 3 choices. You can go up 87/287 to Boise city where it turns into 385 to Lamar. Then it's 287 to Limon where you pick up I-70 west to Denver area. Route 2) from Amarillo, go west on I-40 to Vega then take 385 north to Channing, at Hartley pick up 87 north. Follow 87 till it runs into I-25. I-25 north to the Denver area. Route 3) Take I-40 west to Albuquerque then north on I-25. Little longer rout but I like ABQ.😁 Drove rout 2 this last summer. I have driven them all and a couple of variants. I don't see any big problems. Bill
  9. What is the part number/model number? Have you tried the local sources or is this a warranty type issue. Bill
  10. Isn't it great that they have these factory installed tool holders on trucks. NO this was not staged. Bill
  11. On the outher side of "smooth" we got to sample directly from the collector at the top of the still at Barton's. I liked the samples in the tasting room better. Bill
  12. Not familiar with that product but I bet there are some epoxy products that will work on that type of plastic. I don't know how much it would cost to have a shop do a hot air weld repair but they have guns on Amazon for around $100.00 + https://www.amazon.com/s?k=hot+air+plastic+welder&hvadid=77653062753171&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&tag=mh0b-20&ref=pd_sl_7y3qv1xc3o_e I would look at you tub and look for videos on how to do it. Then decide if it is something you want to try. Bill
  13. Something different. Had anyone heard about the sale of RVillage? https://www.rvnews.com/rvillage-founder-discusses-sale/ Bill
  14. I think that is the way I would go. Bill
  15. Nice, welcome to the forum. What are you going to pull it with? Bill
  16. You seem to be fixated on the carrier air v heat pumps as a heat source in cold weather. I will say again. You will never get any heat out of a heat pump if it is cold enough to freeze water pipes. I think it is strange your thermostat didn't automatically change to propane heat when it got to cold for heat pumps. My last coach a 2003 Bounder would do it. Hard to think a 2010 coach wouldn't do that. Bill
  17. First I would find the end of the cable and see if it is broken or just pulled out of the bracket. Who makes the slide mechanism? Call them about a replacement cable and/or get instructions on how to route it and you probably can find someone to make a new one. Bill
  18. Welcome to the forum. Help me understand. What happend to your 12 volt power in the coach? Both propane furnaces run on 12 volt power. Your house batteries should have provided power for at least a day to power the furnaces probably more, hopefully till power was restored. You will never get any heat out of a heat pump if it is cold enough to freeze water pipes. Bill
  19. The first thing is to know exactly how tall your RV is. Not what someone at a desk somewhere thinks it is. You need to measure as ready to travel. This includes if you have air suspension or air booster springs. When you are headed under that low bridge is not the time to wonder "how tall am I". Keep in mind how long you are may affect your clearance if the dip in the road is fairly abrupt. Bill
  20. Nice grill and welcome to the forum. I bought my wife a new cordless drill last week, I think she needs a new grill to. Bill
