  1. Buy a small air compressor to carry with you. If you’re at a campground and need air they won’t have it.
  2. I travel with a full tank of water, have never had an issue
  3. I'm with Bill, sounds like a bad idea to lock out the flush. I'm not sure I would start cutting wires
  4. Run as much service as you can afford I started with a 30amp 5th wheel and ended up with a 50amp MH Now I need to plug in both I was lucky I set a CG box 50amp 30amp 20amp Ran a dedicated 100amp service to the box
  5. I'm with TBUTLER....head south
  6. I thought at lower temps they added anti-gel?
  7. I’ve stayed in a few Big Rig Parks but never in a Class A Only Park. I find the Big Rig Parks have room for my 43 footer and room to make the turns into the camp site (I tend to bump into stuff). I’ve also stayed in the 55 and over parks but I see no reason to stay at a park that excludes older RV’s. I like to see all kinds of RV’s scattered through the park. Always make my evening walks interesting.
  8. I use whatever they sell at Flying J Sometimes as high as B20 No change in MPG 10 to 10.5 solid
  9. I've missed reservations in the past and will probably miss some in the future. It's never been the fault of the CG. It’s easy to forget CG’s are in the business to make money, if they are holding a reservation for you there is a good chance they have turned someone away. Paying a couple of hundred dollars for a camping spot you don't use is never easy, but the flip side is first come like at some federal campgounds and we know how well that works:(
  10. I use the block heater on my Cummins if the temp gets into the teens. Work great
  11. Fresh Cab, for me the only way to go. Drier sheet will work but it takes a lot of sheets
  12. I'm on my 4th Winnebago. No windshield problems....yet. I got a clue about the problem for the forums GoodSam/Irv2 and FMCA. A good bead of silicon across the top and down both side took care of the problem. I pulled the rubber away from the skin to get a good amount behind the rubber. As far as I can tell as the rubber get old the water gets in.
  13. I've been using Pilot/Flying J diesel for years in my Cummins powered motorhomes. (2006 - 2012 motorhomes) No problem to date. The only thing is I never know the percentage. Pilot/Flying J change the percentage based on availability and time of year. My educated guess would be 3% - 10%
  14. I have a small gun safe in my closet and a larger firesafe in my storage cubby. I carry very little cash and only what's needed for ID. Passport, Insurance and Titles/Registration. Everything else stays with my daughter.
  15. This looks like a failure in the heat affection zone from the original weld. You should not square up and re-weld (IMHO). A good welder can rebuild. A good pre-heat procedure or post weld heat treating will be required.
  16. I agree the more you drive the less it cost/mile. I’m on my 3rd 40’ and the average cost/mile is 83 cents/mi. Insurance/Extended Warranty/ Engine & Transmission Service Everything except fuel.
  17. I have Blue Sky. Best rates I could find. I filed my first claim on 7/11, Estimate made on 7/21 (I was on vacation got est. on my return), sent to Blue Sky on Friday 7/25...check in my mailbox yesterday 7/28
  18. (michaelhillhouse) I dislike these “I have a friend who said” posts Every story has two sides. We have only been giving one side by someone who told someone about something that (ultraglide) My dealings with Good Sam and Camping World have always been satisfactory The folks at Winnebago have been helpful and prompt+ I would suggest you send Marcus Lenomis an Email (he owns both companies)
  19. I’ve found for the most part, rattles don’t get better. If it makes you uncomfortable to drive now, it may drive you crazy in the near future. A fifteen year old MH will never be rattle free. But a couple of things you should look at: Entry doors will squeak and rattle with age, not to be don.e Windows might squeak a little but should not rattle loud enough to be an issue. Overhead cabinets that rattle and squeak are a problem… they should be firmly attached to the MH. I love my diesel pusher but you can get into a very nice late model gasser at a reasonable price.
  20. I used Good Sam for my last 3 MH. No problems, everything I’ve turned in has been covered On things that got a little iffy, they would normally split the cost (50/50) I’ve had my best luck letting the dealership handle things with Good Sam
  21. I have BlueSky. Saved over half from my old rate
  22. If you buy a new ATS, my ATS and Surge are a single unit. Works great. Always good to go for a twofer.Mine is made by Progressive Industries Inc
  23. Sounds like you have a short in the system If the batteries are bulging they more than likely froze over the winter They could be old but if they froze they were undercharged. I would have a tech check your inverter.
