I wonder if mine is the same? Sounds like some engineer thought it was better to have hot water as long as possible over worrying about getting to a fuel stop. Like Carl this will be a learning trip. I don't plan on letting it get below 1/2 tank. Unlike Carl I only have a 150 gal tank. How was I ever able to get around with only a 90 gal tank? Bill

Welcome to the forum. Make shure you are looking at the right load range for your coach. I would also look at the continentals in the FMCA tire program. I ran them on my last coach and liked them. They were also over$100.00 cheaper each at the discount price than Michilans at their discount price. Bill

Ok, I bet you have already looked at this, but. Have you cleaned and tightened all the ground connections? It sounds like something's heating up and losing connection then cooling down and reconnecting. So tightening all connections and especially ground connections would be where I would start. Bill

But we are still here. Back on topic, New coach is 12' 6". Bill

Can I deduct them under "Security"? Bill

One outher thing. What route are you using to get to that area? Do you have a EZ-Pass? Bill

Much better to much than not enough. Bill

I have to agree. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Did you just get your Newmar? Bill

Last time I crossed into Canada at the Alexandria Bay crossing point in Northern Ny State. I once again got the whole "You cowboys from Texas all have guns" routine. That and being selected for extra inspection. Well the only good thing to come from it was after about 30 minutes in the coach one of the officers came out and said to me "Sir We have found your liquor cabinet, did the officer ask you about alcohol?" I said no. He then said "Proceed". I think they were tired of this guy pullinging over everyone for extra inspection. There wasn't that much in the liquor cabinet just a couple of opened bottles of "hard stuff" and 2 bottles of wine in the drawer under the dinet. Bill

Let's start with basics. Check the voltage at the house (Axillary) batteries. The chassis batteries are good because you can start the main engine and it takes much more voltage to start it than the generator. I am betting on just low house batteries. If they are low using the "boost" switch isn't enough because they are soaking up all the voltage coming through the line. Bill

I would recommend that when you enter on I-30 from the East that you take I- 635 South. I-635 will merge with I-20 west bound. This has less traffic and less construction. If you need a place to stay in the area I would look at https://www.cowtownrvpark.com/. Like driving in Atlanta I would recommend trying to do it at non rush hour times. Bill

One outher thing you should be aware of. If you have a CCL in Texas it will say so on your license and even if it doesn't when they run your license it will pop up. Bill

I never got as far south as West Point but we stayed here. https://interlakervpark.com/ If you are in the area here are a couple of fun things.The Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site. https://www.nps.gov/hofr/index.htm We just had to go here for lunch. The Culinary Institute of America has a "Pub" that you don't need reservations for. https://www.ciachef.edu/ They have several different restaurants, you can get info from the website. Bill

I hope they give you the green light soon. I hear you, I got realey tired of waiting on parts. I am still short a couple of things but nothing I can't live with till they come in. I am now trying to get things moved over from the old coach. Bill

Lots of people making assumptions. Do you have 50 amp service in your coach? Do you feel you need 50 amp and is there 50 amp available to plug into? If it is 30 amp be shure like everyone caution it is the right outlet. 30 amp 120 not 30 amp 240. Last Summer in Minot I had to use 2- 30 amp extensions to get to the 30 amp shore power outlet. This and my primary 50 amp cord stretched out as far as it would go. I didn't experience any problems with power. I was also using my Surge Guard to protect from low voltage. As long as you have a good extension There should not be a problem. I can run one AC plugged into 30 amp with no problem. You might want to shut it off if you need to use anouther hidraw/hiload appliance or groupe. Bill

"You don't need no stinking darts" easy peasy just get on the Mass pike and head West. Bill

Good idea Carl, I have a file that I keep all those numbers including transmission part number, serial number + any filter part numbers and part numbers for anything I have bought/replaced on my coach. Just started one for the new coach. Makes looking for common things easier. Bill

Ray, You need to come on down to bayou country you'll find Avery Island, home of McIlhenny Company. You can get a large size. I like the jalapeno pepper sauce to.

Try re reading the pm I sent about it. Let me know. Bill

One outher fun thing about "Back then"when you called someone you didn't have to ask "where are you". You knew when answered the phone they were at home standing in the kitchen or somewhere at that address. Now who knows. Bill

So when are you going to change your Sig? I looked at a king aire and yes those steer tires are big.

I see I now have one will have to find some information on it. Bill

sgtpappy1, Welcome to the forum. One thing to do is to make shure there are no tripped circuit breakers on the generator. Follow the cord from the generator to where it hooks into the coach. This will be the Auto Transfer Switch or the manual box. You can follow back the shore power cord to where it connects to the coach. Do you have power when the coach is plugged into shore power? Bill

What would be more fun is if you could call it and see what they do. Bill
