Not fun when the tps goes out, had that happen in the early 90's. Still drove, but I had to keep moving the accelerator back and forth to keep it going.

Use a volt ohm meter and measure to see if any voltage to the toilet, should be a disconnect where the coach wiring connects to the toilet. Also, the switch mentioned is probably on the toilet itself. Good luck chasing!! Kay

Welcome to the forum. We travel with 4 Yorkies, and just use cheap throw covers from any box store, Walmart, Target, etc. When they become soiled, put them into the washer/dryer, several times, then chunk them and start all over. When company is coming, we put them in the closet till they leave. Have fun with your new class A.

CDL drivers are taught the four and five second rule for spacing, this allows for sudden stops, and courtesy for others passing. If you are not familiar with the rule, simple way to follow this rule is to watch the next ahead of you, below 40 mph, if you will spot something, a sign post, or light pole, on anything not moving, if you will count the seconds, 1-2-3-4, then you should be at that object. Above 40 mph, the rule changes to 5 seconds. Auto's in most states are subject to the two second rule. I suggest coming to an agreement about the speed that you want to travel, posted speeds should be good, but some may want to travel at a speed that probably is a little lower because of fuel consumption. The ones that will not abide by the set plan, will probably go off and leave the others behind. Not much can be done by you or others in the group. That job is usually left to local law enforcement. Planned stops at fueling stations is a good idea when traveling in a group. Have fun, enjoy the trip, and welcome to the forum, Kay (PS) I'm sure others have their own ideas, and will voice them, that's why it is a forum.

Depending on the size of the holes, if not too large yet, you might consider just removing the rust with a wire brush, then grinding smooth. Then you can use epoxy resin and fiberglass mesh to cover the entire bottom of the compartment. Most auto restorers use this method to replace floor pans. The end result should last a lifetime, and is non corrosive to the battery acid You can find the material at most automotive parts stores, box building stores, and marine shops. Directions can be found on the products, and youtube has videos on how to. Good luck, Kay

I use http://www.reserveamerica.com/ This is the best experience I have when internet shopping, especially on short notice. They have a huge database, and all parks that are signed with them come into play in your search.

Welcome to the forum, and to answer your question. Ethically yes, but legally I doubt it. Although I would call the dealer and complain, he may just be ignorant to the facts. I would also complain to the district attorney in the state of purchase, if there are no laws against this practice, it could be a stepping stone to get laws enacted. All tires, especially when speed and weight related have an age factor, but how they are treated come into play, Tireman9 has some very good points on this. The big problem is, you nor the dealer really have any idea if they had good treatment or not. Good luck with your project, and happy motoring, Kay

I went to AAA+RV two years ago because it looked better than GS, have not used them yet, but two times with GS, I was very disappointed. First time shame on you, second time shame on me. I didn't wait for the third strike.

Welcome to the forum, and please don't be offended at the Newbie on the post, this only refers to the forum section. Thanks for your 29 years with FMCA. Sorry for your misfortunes at that park. Happy trails, Kay

Thanks John, yes I missed the tornado by 1 mile, not active as much as I used to be, no I don't do the BCM board. You may want to look at I-20 in mid Tx, it actually runs out into 1-10, passes right through B'ham., as you know. I'll be close to your qth this AM, Moulton to be exact. It's about 120 miles nearer, and not too bad roads or hills. 73

I believe that Brett is right. I read the post three times to make sure that I am not misreading, with the switches OFF, you wouldn't expect to make hot water, but with MOTOR-AID, you would be heating, with your engine coolant. This is to back up Herman's remark.

Hello John, welcome to FMCA. Congrats on the the NTU CC. No advice on routes but always good to see a fellow ham, N4WQP here. Happy motoring, Kay

Actuators are well worth the investment, also I always install a commercial grade check valve just before the pump water enters the main water supply line. This will greatly improve the pump life by stopping the backflow of shore water pressure, and contaminants from getting back to the pump. Will also help preserve the pump check valve, as they cant handle as much shore pressure in the event your regulator is not quite up to it's job.

Just one addition to Tom's very good instructions. Be sure to clean the seal and inspect for damage on the top side while the fabric is off, then, use the recommended lubricant. This will help in the sealing process. With the topper in place, this would be impossible to do. Kay

I agree with Herman about add ons, they are pretty expensive. Proper driving habits cost nothing extra and can save a lot of money, if not already following this rule. Kay

New federal guidelines require that you see a doctor monthly to have SOME of the pain medications rewritten, the doctors are not allowed to write a refillable prescrition for the ones that are on the list.. There a few alternative medications, but they are not as effective. Thank you BIG BROTHER??? http://www.koco.com/news/new-rules-make-hydrocodone-painkiller-prescriptions-harder-to-refill/29002078 Sad to see such drastic measures which are caused by abusers.

What engine does she have? I am quilty of overlooking some info in the title. I like yourself have worked in the computer industry probably too long HA-HA, IT engineer ???

Not related to this thread, but jleamont's post above brought back an old memory. In the early sixty's, I drove a gasoline International R185 tractor/truck, for a glazing company. Making my way back from Macon GA, to Birmingham, the truck stalled. I looked for problems, and found that someone had golfballed the fuel tank. When the gas worked it's toll on the ball, it came apart, looked just like rubber bands in the fuel filter.

This is not meant to be any kind of an endorsement, I do not now own one, nor know anyone affiliated with the company, but have observed many, the Acme is in my list of things to order. I like the concept.

That was my exact thought, that is why I recommend having someone to follow. I noticed that there is a one year warranty on the product against defects in parts and workmanship. If it does not swivel, it would certainly qualify if within the time frame. Personally, and this is not meant as a solution, I would pin the swivel, and try towing with the steering wheel unlocked, it would probably work better for the application if there is enough clearance to accommodate this.

Welcome to the forum, congrats on all of the above. Hope you enjoy your new membership, Kay

Welcome to the forum dhharris. For such a request, you will need to post to the forum what location that you are in. The forum has a "pm" private message capability, making it fairly easy to contact another quest. Bluebird Wanderlodge FC-33 in reasonably good working order will make a great project. Congratulations on the retirement, and happy trails, Kay

Correction on my part, after careful observation, the American does claim to have a swivel table, and the pictures when blown up, does confirm this. It seems as if there could be some binding when the car is loaded. I would have someone follow and observe to see if that action is occurring while loaded.

The American tow dolly, and the Acme tow dolly look to be the same design. I have not seen an American, but have been around several Acme's. There is no pivot, and Acme tells up front that the steering wheel must be left unlocked. Go to Acme website and look at the utube video.

The only time that I have broken a strap was between Chattanooga TN and Gadsden, AL. Very rough interstate at the time, and I had put too much pressure on the strap, won't do that again.
