Anybody use a store-bought log book?
wildebill308 replied to urbanhermit's topic in Type A motorhomes
UrbanHermit, Back to the question "what kind of logbook?" I use Gas Buddy to track fuel. We use RVParky, Google Maps to track trips and places to stay. We have a notebook to keep receipts and notes about places we have stayed/visited. If you want to track all your expenses, look at this Youtube channel he has spreadsheets available. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXejRdDVmJxYpguXcv-ZYsg Bill -
I am thinking the plastic is some kind of safety retainer for the bulbs. I would be inclined to look at swapping them out for leds. Bill

Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk

Carl, do you realey want us to start grading your post? All the grammatical and spelling issues? Or do you want to talk about RV issues? Bill -
Waiting for OP to comeback with a response. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Don't be a stranger. Bill

Gee all that big HP being bandied about. I did it with a little ISB 300 HP 475 ft pounds of torque. Just use your gears. Most of the time top speed was controlled by slower traffic. I know of several steep hills I probably could have been faster on but finished in 3ed at about 35 behind a truck. Bill

That is true. I had no indication I was climbing till the hi temp buzzer went off.Bill

Beat they are not full of out of staters. How are they doing the quarantine? Bill -
Welcome to the forum. Yes it is a nice park I have stayed there before. We did the Indian guided tour of the battlefield and it was very interesting. As DD said if your radiator is clean you shouldn't have any problems. (If you put your RV in your signature it will help get better answers.) Just keep an eye on your temperatures and if they start to climb just manually downshift to bring up your RPM and increase fan speed and water flow. I don't recall any major hills in that area but sometimes the long slow climbs can cause overheating especially when on cruise control. I had it happen to me one time west of Williams AZ. I was running on CC and not paying attention to close because it wasn't down shifting. Well the CC was doing it's best to maintain speed in top gear and had called for max boost and throttle to do it. I dropped down a couple of gears and was able to get everything cooed off. Long way to say just keep an eye on things and you will be fine. Bill

Yes I have heard good things about the Liquid Spring setup. I heard they were coming out with a front setup. Still a little pricey for just the back ran around $12,500 installed. Till then you could add Sumo Springs to the front. https://www.supersprings.com/products/sumosprings/. You are at a point where putting that money toward a coach upgrade might make more sense or at least something to think about. jfalessi, See how well we can spend your money. Bill

Welcome to the forum. First thing to do is weigh the coach loaded ready to travel. Compare the real weight with the posted max weight in your coach. Then check your tire pressure. I changed out my shocks on my last coach to Koni FSD shocks and they helped with the rough roads. https://www.shockwarehouse.com/news/koni-fsd-gold.cfm Bill

'06 Forest River Charleston:Generator slide drifts out while driving
wildebill308 replied to wtbuck12's topic in Slideouts
Something to try. I would run the slide in and out 8-10 times. See if that fixes the problem before tearing things apart. Bill -

Cost to Flat-Tow ? WOW!
wildebill308 replied to obiwan_canoli's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I made the installation of the base plate and wiring part of the deal when I bought my CR-V. I bought a used towbar and brake buddy and had the towbar rebuilt and certified by Blue Ox at Perrey before I had anything towable 4 down. My total cost was about $550.00 to get setup to tow 4 down. Lots of used equipment out there you just have to look. Bill -
Welcome to the forum. I will bet You will have very little problem with a E450 based RV. I had a much older class C (mid 80s) with a ford V-8 and it was geared for the job and never had a problem. My only complaint was I wished it was/ had more gears as it was geared to low and got terrible mileage. The new V-10 engins now have more gears and get better mileage. Yes they will reve hi going up hills but it is ok. You can't over rev it. Bill

Just make shure you have enough offset so they don't rub. Sad that just got Married and already involved in a recall. Bill

No, it is just the little 450HP ISM. Carl has the big engine. Bill

Looks better than my casino parking lot view. Bill

Thank you. Just a little update. We just spent 4 days in Durant Ok. for our first real road trip. Everything went well. Now I am ready for an extended trip. Learning new systems can be a pain. New cruise in the steering wheel and I got no documentation. Finally got it sorted out. on how to increase or decrease speed. Bill

Well if you would put your RV in your signature I wouldn't need to ask what RV. Bill

First welcome to the forum and congratulations on the new to you coach. Are you plugged into shore power? So you don't have power to any of the tvs? Look and see if the inverter/converter is turned on. Did you test them before you brought it home? Bill

I bet that a Lt tire that meets or exceeds the load carrying capacity of the trailer axle location within the approved inflation level will work just fine. So what does that have to do with anything? We are talking about replacing a ST with a LT of the same size and load carrying capacity. Bill

I have used a dry silicone spray. Bill
