That is correct, no arsenic since 2004, but either zinc or copper oxide is still used in its place, thanks to the good ole EPA, the newest form still helps deter insects.

My largest concern, make sure that the comprehensive part stays in effect 365.25. That is the part that covers glass breakage and storm damage. I have a policy that the liability portion can be put on hold, all we have to do is call the day before we leave, it goes into effect as soon as we call and stays in effect until we return, there is a 30 day minimum each time we call.

I think that I may have figured out why the etrailer person that you may have inquired about the bike rack is confused. He probably thinks that you are asking about a Harley Fat Boy bike, that's one like someone like me would have to ride! But here is one that etrailer sells, it does not say it is for a motorhome, but is rated for up to 60 lbs., per bike. http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Bike-Racks/Kuat/N101.html Just tell the salesperson that Kay want be riding the bike while in transport. Good luck finding one.

60 pounds each times 2 = 120, and the weight of the rack, 80 to 100 pounds, about 220 at the most, is what I would guess. That's about the average weight of a guy my size. A class 1 receiver, (1 1/4) inch hitch, will carry 300 pounds tongue weight, just doesn't seem too heavy to me on a bounder. Of course one can be mounted on the front and one on the rear, with equal distribution. That just seems like an overkill. Have you considered one of those aluminum wheel chair carriers with a built on ramp like Harbor freight sells, can be easily rigged to carry two of those type bikes. http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=wheel+chair+carrier After looking up your bike, I don't think you will have any problem with them on the back with any rack that is rated for the weight of the two. I was using class 1 hitch only as a reference point to demonstrate what a small load that will handle. I'm reasonably sure that your hitch is at least a class 3, if you do not already have a hitch, I would recommend at least class 3, It is the 2 inch receiver.

Maybe Flo just makes you feel safer. I have Allstate, been thinking of changing, sometimes I think Mayhem is following me.

Carl, you might check the ground cable hookup for the charge line, it probably does not go all the way to the coach battery, and may have not been getting a proper ground somewhere in the system. I would pull the charge line from your battery, and use an incandescent 12 volt light bulb 15 watts or larger to check how bright it is. A volt meter does not pull enough draw to properly test the set up, but a light bulb can easily tell what is happening.

That is a definite NO!NO!. I limit to 450 miles, have no fuel gauge. Usually takes 60 to 75 gallons to refill, depending on driving conditions.

Is it possible that the rollers are just riding on top of the rails instead of down inside as they should be? Possibly they have dislodged because of some excessive play, and need to be reinstalled back inside the rails. If this is a possibility, I think there could be a simpler solution than removing the genset. I will pm my e-mail to you.

I don't know which to reply to! Well here goes my assessment, I have a 150+ tank, when arriving home, I go to the nearest fuel stop, 4 miles from the residence, I do top off the tank. So it sits at this location, sometimes two weeks, sometimes three months, depending on the time of the year. When I get ready to leave home, the coach is always ready to go. This keeps down worry about condensation in the tank, and I do add algaecide just before the winter months, which is when it does sit for the longest period of time. The coach is capable of carrying the weight, and it does get lighter as you drive.

Eraser was a much needed tool in my tool bag 30 years ago on the mini computer, not to be confused with micro computer, which is what your PC is today. The multilayered boards were 14" by 14" with edge connectors 3/4 of the way across, had to make bi-monthly service return calls back then.

I bet Herman remembers Buddy Jones. Hope you all enjoy this.

I prefer braless for mine also. A little elbow grease and rubbing compound makes stainless steel look better each time.

Thanks for clarifying that point Brett, and as stated, only the two drive axle brakes are spring loaded and are the only ones holding in the park position of an air system.

It does state 60 feet excluding bumpers, maybe you can subtract the bumpers of each item and get by with it. LOL I think these are RV laws, not commercial rig laws. Here is more for reading enjoyment https://connect.ncdot.gov/business/trucking/Documents/North%20Carolina%20Law%20-%20Commercial%20Vehicles.pdf

SLSettles, each state varies about the overall length. Here is a AAA listing, http://drivinglaws.aaa.com/tag/trailer-dimensions/, many on this forum have different opinions about the validity of the laws concerning this question. While the probability of you ever being stopped may be slim to none, the law is the law. Also remember that while your driver license and tag is reciprocal, the laws concerning the vehicle lengths, weights, and other items are not. Also please note that the website may be out of date with what is current, so a call the DMV of that state may be in order.

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
