I would find a exhaust/muffler shop and have them weld it up. Bill

Ok, but I still think the best practise is just what I said. Instead of all the weird extension cords and multiple adapters just run some appropriate cable from the power supply (the old hot tub) to where you park your RV. Install this pedestal so you can plug your RV directly into it using the power cord from the RV. Yes get the one with a 50 amp plug so when you upgrade your RV you won't have to do it over. The only addition would be a appropriate power switch so you can turn power off when plugging in or unplugging. This reduces wear on the circuit breakers. Bill

hphock, I have read through this mess twice now. STOP YOU CAN'T PLUG INTO THE OLD HOT TUBE POWER RECEPTACLE. All you have is a potential power source. Instead of all the weird extension cords and multiple adapters just run some appropriate cable from the power supply (the old hot tub) to where you park your RV. Install this pedestal so you can plug your RV directly into it. Yes get the one with a 50 amp plug so when you upgrade your RV you won't have to do it over. https://www.amazon.com/TL137US-Temporary-Receptacle-Installed-Unmetered/dp/B00A8FQUYW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=28UVFPNP6Q2JS&dchild=1&keywords=rv+power+pedestal+50+30+20&qid=1597332028&sprefix=RV+power+ped%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-1 Bill

Before and after pictures might be nice. But yes that does sound like the way to go. Bill

ldoughtie, Welcome to the forum. I would talk to a hydraulic shop like Kay said. I recall hearing there is a repair kit (seals) available. Bill

The only place I will stay is Cherry Hill RV park. https://www.cherryhillpark.com/ Yes it is pricey but it gives you acess to the Metro train system. They have a bus that stops in the park that will take you to the terminal if you don't want to drive. Trust me you don't want to drive in downtown DC!!! Last time I was there, They had a lady selling tours and she did a seminar on how to use the trains to get to all the attractions. Trust me you need to know what train on what level or you could get realey lost. Bill

David that's good news. I was wondering if polishing them with the same kit that they use on headlights might work. Replacements sound like a better deal. Bill

Wayne,You are right that is in the middle of nowhere. When up that way we stay down on the coast in RI at Worden's Pond. Not fancy as he caters to his seasonal people. Only water and electric but they do pump outs and have a dump station. It is close to some of wifes friends and one son. https://www.wordenpondfamilycampground.com/ Bill

I must be lucky then as I have found plenty of places under what Joe found. But then we arn't looking for kids parks. Yes on the coast if you don't have reservations don't bother. Heck if you are along the coast near Moody Beach you may not be able to get on the road because of the traffic on the weekends. We were in the area for a rally a few years back and if you wanted to leave the campground in the toad it took over 15-20 minutes sometimes to find a hole in the slow moving line of cars going both ways. So I can't recommend the US-1 that time of year. Joe, that place I stayed near Lancaster, Country Acres Campground was $50-60 a night and a nice place. Well still no response back from the OP. Bill

Look at the dipstick carefully. On my old coach there was a "Cold" fill line. The outher lines are for when it is hot. Bill

Have you checked if the fan is going to hi speed when the temps are up? Bill

The real problem is it moves with the parking brake on. It has been my experience that most gas coaches use the pin in the transmission "Park" position as the main way to keep them from moving. The Ford based ones I have experience use the old cable to the rear brakes method plus the park position and Chevy likes the hydroboost power brake on the driveshaft just behind the transmission along with the "Park". I am not as good as some at guessing with no information. Yes I know how my coach works with air brakes. Yes they are on the rear axle and no you don't want to raise the rear axle off the ground and no they won't release without air in the system, current minimum is 65 pounds. Bill

First, not enough information to give a good answer. It would be helpful if you put your coach information in your signature. See Herman and Kays as example. Second, " mine makes all kinds of racket because there is no air in the e brake tank to keep it stable and not move". What racket? Do you have air brakes? Bill

Try this, turn the thermostat off. Pull the front cover off. There should be a fuse, remove the fuse and test it. Removing the fuse also resets the thermostat. Put the fuse back in turn on the thermostat to heat. crank it up and see if it lights the furnace. With my last coach if you asked for more than 10 deg over ambient temp it would bypass the heat pumps and go directly to the furnace. Bill

Yes I have experienced this. We were at Fort Stevenson State Park in ND and had to dry camp overnight because there were no open spaces. The next day we got a spot that had been empty the whole time because it had been reserved. Bill

So have you bought the Seneca? Have you looked at the Newmar super C? Bill

Well the OP hasn't been back but I think the King Air I linked to would be as nice for the price as a new Cornerstone for more than double the money. The new Cornerstone and a new Mountain Air are about the same price. Bill

When I put Continentals using the tire program they were $100.00 ea cheaper than the Michilans and I thought they were better tires. Bill

No, No you don't need to plan every step. You also need to travel in "Retired mode" not "Vacation mode". People on vacation need to get somewhere and get back in a fixed time frame. I like to be on the road by 9 and off by happy hour. 300 miles is a long day. I use a average speed/distance of 50 mph when planing. It has worked out pretty close weather on major roads or going croslots on secondary roads.300 miles will take you at least 6 hours. I think you will find that it pays to make plans when visiting major attractions. For example if you wanted to go to the Grand Canyon next May. I would be trying to get reservations for the time you want to be there starting today. I love staying in Trailer Village. You can catch the free shuttle that stops in the RV park and go places you can't drive your toad. How long you take and where you stay getting to the GC is up to you. We have it so much better now with the internet and cell phones. Bill

Where in AZ are you? I would call National Indoor RV Centers and talk to them.They are a Newmar dealer. They can tell you who to talk to if they don't work on the Onan. This is the number for the LV location 702-766-7770. They have a location in Phoenix to. Let us know what you find out. Bill

When in Brenham you absolutely, positively need to stop at Blue Bell Creameries!!! https://www.bluebell.com/ Some say the best ice cream in the country!! Bill

Welcome to the forum Mitchell. Where are you looking? I can verify the quality of service and customer care Mike related about National Indoor RV Centers. I just bought the coach in my sig from them. This is what I told Mike when he was looking. "Yes the 6.7 is the upgraded 5.9 that I have. You just have to downshift and keep your rpm up (Don't lug the engine) watch your EGT and you can climb any hill." I don't think you would have any problems. You do need to learn how to drive a big rig. Keep in mind most coaches are pretty close in weight to horsepower ratio. The guy with 600+ HP is moving more weight. Many many times it isn't the hp and torque of a coach slowing you down it is slower trucks on the grade. You only spend a short time on hills so don't get to hung up on "flying" up the hills. Any questions just ask. Bill

Yes, the current in there is amazing. Boats up on plane and barely moving forward. Bill

I haven't heard of any problems with them. huffypuff Just got a new Entergra Anthem 44B he might have more insight. Something to look at. https://www.nirvc.com/Sales/Inventory/4944 or https://www.nirvc.com/Sales/Inventory/3947B This is the place I bought my coach. I do recommend them. Bill

Where are you down by the ship canal? I remember watching boats having a hard time making progress when the tide was running. Bill
