Sounds like a great idea ObedB, I have one of those Kero pumps in the coach for emergency purposes, works great. Sorry to have even stated anything about the subject, some people don't bother to read the entire post, just start complaining. I did check the local FlyingJ where I buy fuel very often, and there is room for me to maneuver my 41.5 foot bus with car on tow dolly through RV island, but DEF is not available at the RV pumps, it can be purchased inside in the 2.5 gal container. Yes it is available in the truck lanes.

I see nothing in the manual about an AWD model, AWD is not the same as Four Wheel Drive, it would not have a transfer case. Page 217 does state that a four wheel drive model can be towed by following the instructions. I think that that FMCA towing guide only list all models the manufacturers submit to them. Ford manuals are most likely generic to some degree, and maybe the 2016 Expedition is an AWD not four wheel drive, I don't know-- this only speculation. Welcome to the forum and maybe someone that owns one and is using it will give a definitive answer.

How lousy can a manufacturer be? If def is on opposite side from fuel tank, most of the truck stops are equipped to fill from either side, maybe just pull forward and use the tandem pump from the other side if this the case. I don't know how the truck stops that you trade in your part of the country, but most of the Loves and Pilot/FlyingJ's around this area have an RV island out in the area close to where motorcars fill, If this is the case, who cares what the truckers think if you use these areas. Good luck with your project, and happy trails.

Joe, get a 3/4 inch thick ribeye, sear both sides at 400 on the induction ct, then finish it off on the traeger at 350 for 18 minutes, cut it into a round configuration while the meat is resting, then serve it on a 5 inch sesame seed bun, with lettuce and tomato, tell the DW that it is a new style burger.

If the trip will be very long, I would purchase some 140 wt gear oil to keep adding to that hub and check at least every hundred miles. Not to be confused with using 140 after the fix, but should last longer before leaking out.

Be sure if using 2X10 to use pressure treated, untreated will attract termites and other bugs that you want like coming near the coach. Pressure treated is laden with arsenic to kill the insects that try to infect it. I bought a stall mat from tractor supply, and cut it to a good fit to place under my tires wherever I park, grass, stone, asphalt, or concrete, cuts easily with a razor knife, I have air leveling and the tires never leave the ground, and I am an adamant person that rubber tires just fair better when not rolling, to be parked on like material. Of course plastic is good and easy to find.

My search box on chrome actually works, but the dropdown does not appear on chrome or firefox. Edge does not show the dropdown capabilities until the mouse is hovered in the search box, while IE11 shows the dropdown all the time.

Help, we need to know more about your problem!!! You stated that when you plugged in at the hotel, all was fine until you used too much it tripped, was probably on a 15 amp circuit and it just overloaded, probably done with an adapter from 30 amp to 20 amp, and this worked fine., except overloading. We need to know if the 87komfort is and most likely is a 30 amp unit, that is has a 3 blade plug that attaches to an electrical outlet. Four blades with a super heavy cord is a 50 amp. Now if it is a 3 blade, and you took it home and tried to a dryer type plug at home, here is what is happening. Those three blade plugs on an RV is for 30 amp 120 volt, your dryer outlet is probably 240 volt, if this is the case you will need to go back to the adapter and use 120 volts on a standard circuit until you have a proper 120 volt 30 amp circuit installed. The campgrounds that you would park in, the 30 amp circuits should be properly wired and there should not be a problem. Hope this helps, and welcome to the forum.

A lot depends on what part of the country you are in, and will be doing most of your traveling. Also on your age group, what living habits you are accustomed to, along with many other variables. Best way to get an honest opinion from others is to list what you are looking for and to do with your investment. Like full timing, or weekends and a couple weeks at a time a few times a year. While aqua-hot is wonderful for heat and hot water, there is yearly maintenance that must be done to keep the system functioning properly, and many other items that will need to be dealt with on a more personal basis. I notice that this is your first post, so WELCOME to the forum and many happy trails. Kay

Not many coaches comes with a spare tire, but the provider can bring a tire, and the cost of the tire would be the only cost. Of course one can purchase a new tire "not on a rim" and carry it in their basement compartment. I have done this for years, you will be surprised how little room it actually takes up, little used items can be placed inside the tire and larger items can be placed within the inner circle. Two miles towing cost me $525.00 last year for towing, I thought my AAA RV plus had expired, so I didn't call, I did call to reinstate after returning home the next week. When I called, the lady at AAA informed me that it had not expired, my wife had placed it on auto renewal, after she told me this, I asked if I might enter the claim after the fact, she said that she would e-mail a form, filled it out and mailed it in, must have the original invoice, not a copy, within two weeks my check arrived, and I was surprised that it was for the full amount. Yes, roadside assistance in a very worthwhile investment for RVers.

Edge is the newest browser from Microsoft and is included on Windows10, I don't like the look of the forum using Edge. I still use IE11 on my 10 machines, it is also included on 10, just go the search line, type in ie11, it will appear at the top of the search results, you can then right click and pin it to the start menu, or to the task bar.

Probably need to pull the tag wheel, inspect the bearings, replace if needed, or maybe just correct the play in it and then replace the seal. There is an oil seal that has probably gone bad. Brake pads are probably soaked with oil also if it is leaking that bad.

Many of the newer LED fixtures at Home Depot, Lowes, and other box stores are designed to be used on 120 volt AC, they have a built in converter from 120 AC to 4 or 12 volt DC, leds use approximately 4+ volts DC that's why you normally see them in clusters of three on a 12 volt circuit.

Try swapping the positive and negative leads that attach from the coach wiring to the led's, some of the fixtures use black and white and can be misleading. Being LED "light emitting diode", it is an electrical one way check valve, if wired backwards it will not light. Worst thing that can happen is that it won't work either way.

$7500.00 just for 800ah battery install? This seems very pricey. Is there enough room to add 4 more golf cart batteries, this will double your capacity, ie., double the dry camp ability. If you are going to just 800ah lithium, that is about what doubling your four will do. Solar upgrade may well be in order for keeping batteries charged, but I would rethink the battery upgrade for that amount of money.

This site does the picture problem every time I have tried to post one also, I'm surprised that it let you finally post yours. Rich the size was already 131 kb almost 1/4 of the 500 allowed. I've tried 50 kb before and still does this to me.

I like to use a good Teflon oil, such as Remington gun oil, usually holds up very well. I have used it on printers for years, I put it on then wipe the excess oil about 30 minutes later, this helps reduce the dust buildup.

On a previous coach, the size that was mounted and blew was not a popular size, I actually replaced two to the correct size for less money than one of the incorrect oddball size.

The refer requires 12 volt to work on any option, AC or LP. As stated above make sure that a disconnect hasn't been set to the disconnect position. If the interior lights are working, then disconnect is on. Check for fuse if other coach appliances are working. Also, some of the refers has a reset on the control board that may need resetting.

If I read correctly, he said 30%, not 30%off. 70% off of msrp would be a pretty good deal on a 6.5 year old coach if in good to great condition.

How many batteries do you have total? What is the voltage reading after replacing the two? Does the fridge come on if LP mode? Need to know these things to help. Also, were these items working before going to the shop?

Well, it turns out that I will be making an impromptu trip to Lake City Fla., this weekend, that's about 170 miles north of Orlando. If the OP hasn't found a teacher yet, I will be more than happy to go there to meet and give a lesson or two. Just PM me here, I will be happy to send my e-mail and phone number. I have given instructions many times before. Only cost, one good meal. We have sickness in the DW's family is reason for the quick decision. I'll be there Monday 4/25 till Friday 4/29.

Sorry, I didn't put enough info, while I was traveling in Feb., Construction about 6 miles east of the bridge was down to one lane for about a mile, was a busy time of the day 5 pm there had been a wreck because, you probably guessed it, some nuts, wouldn't move to the proper lane that was signified as soon as they came off of the bridge, took two plus hours to get passed it.

And we don't have to worry about who slept in the same bed in the past. Good depiction, "Gramps". Thanks for pointing it out so well.

You will not be crossing that bridge going the route stated. You will pass within 3.5 miles of my house which is just after going through B'ham. I crossed that bridge the last of February in an automobile, was not too bad at that time, and I did see quite a few large semi's crossing at that time with no apparent problems, though there was a big delay coming back home due to construction on the interstate east of the bridge, you will not be going anywhere near that same construction. I-59 between Chattanooga Tn. and Ft. Payne Al has been resurfaced about 80% at this time, and is much better than before, I-59 has minor construction just before I-12, no major delays.
