I would look at Continental Conti Coach HA3 iTire $564.23 load range L. I like them better than Michelin. Bill

How did you know you had no separation issues? Were you dismounting and inspecting them as Michelin recommends frome year 6? What you did, you just got lucky. Bill

How did they put the wrong size on with out your permission? Bill

Wow I must be lucky as I have never had a warranty to worry about. Just got my first RV with an Oasis. Bill

The wildest one I ever saw was birds building a nest in the dryer hose. They would land on the cover reach under and open the flopper door and go inside. Yes I went and told the owner but he thought I was crazy till he went and looked with a flashlight. They had it about half full of sticks and grass building a nest. Probably a good thing he hadn't tried to use it as the grass and tinder might have started a fire. Bill -
We have used CoPilot and had few problems. The good part is you can download the maps ahead of time so you are not reliant on being connected to internet. Another one the Navigator likes is RV Parky. You can plan routes and find places to stay along the rout. Bill

You passed the test. Bill

Most have that feature (if you set it up) but one big thing if you are on a secondary road and you don't see any trucks I would start checking, quick. Please put your RV in your signature. Bill

Ok if you have a place that can do 3D printing they should have or have acess to a 3D scanner. 3D Laser Scanning is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light. 3D laser scanners create “point clouds” of data from the surface of an object. All you have to do is scan the left one and convert it in the computer to a right hand view. You realey wouldn't need a 3D printer to make a whole fender just print a 3D surface you could use to lay up a fiberglass fender. If you don't have a big enough printer make the mold in parts. A smart operator would build in tabs to locate and stabilize the parts when together. Then fill any cracks /seams so it takes less work when done. Jim, with a good scanner you can duplicate the pattern down to imperfections in the grain. Bill

Well let's hope the OP has someone doing the work that knows what they are doing. I would use a good 17 oz Biaxial cloth or heavier and bag it. But I am not doing that kind of work any more. Bill

It is not that hard if you have any experience doing maintenance and using tools. Lots of videos on Youtube. Bill

If you do a good job smoothing the saran wrap you can have a surface that needs little filing or sanding. Bill

Last time I stayed at Heartland RV Park & Cabins. I would recommend driving 16A in your toad it is a amazing scenic road DO NOT take a RV on it. (this is more for future readers not so much Jim). Bill -
Yes inquiring minds want to know. I ended up with 6 Toyos on my new to me coach. How do you like them? So now I have 6 Toyos and 2 almost 2 year old Michelins. I would have gone all Continentals but I didn't buy them. Bill

No, engine preheat is about using the hot water from the unit to warm the engine when it is cold out. I don't know if you have the circuit that heats the water using the waste engine heat. But if you did you would need to run the engine to heat the water. You have it plugged in just turn on AC-1 and AC-2 a couple hours before you leave. I would try it just using the AC setting, you might be surprised. Bill

I ran on my Diesel pusher and on my Honda Civic. Continentals they were great tires. They were also about $100.00 cheaper each than the Michelins for the coach. Bill
-
Ray for hot water without using diesel. Turn off the diesel burner and turn on AC-1 and AC-2 and make shure the LED light comes on next to the switch. You don't need to switch on engine preheat. All your heating functions are controlled by the thermostat. If you don't want heat either set it low enough heat doesn't come on or shut it off. Let me know if this helps. Bill

Looking for info on National Vehicle Company to sell RV
wildebill308 replied to jon1019's topic in Buying an RV
JOE.CRANDALL, welcome to the forum. No chance of any improvement? You don't say in your profile, but any chance the wife can drive? I have several friends that the wife does all the driving. Just so you know I have had that kind of bad news twice now and am still going. No the dealer is not going to buy it at retail. It is a used coach now and he can buy new at wholesale. Where are you located? Who did you buy from? Bill -
I wish everyone well on this Armed Forces Day!

Same back to you! Bill -
Who do you have your service with? Bill

What did your insurance say? Bill

Yes I recommend looking at Continentals. I put Continentals on for over $100 ea cheaper than the discount Michelin price. They road well and were as good or better than Michelin. Bill
