Brett, that is the correct one, it's stainless over ceramic, and is applied just like any ceramic tile, I used gray grout with very high polymer so that it doesn't crack and fall out, I used a common ceramic wet saw to cut to the proper size. Joe, home depot has a product that looks just like those old tin ceiling tiles, but is made of plastic, and lowes has one that is on a roll that looks like wallpaper until put up with wall paper supplies and can be painted to your favorite color before hanging. My nephew used this on an entire feature ceiling and it looks great. The wallpaper product is in the wallpaper section at Lowes, and don't forget to use the paper glue that is made for bathroom and wet/moist area's. Herman, the shards are really a mess because the mirrors are tempered, after the first one removed I used your method and that works very well, but I had to cover one mirror at a time so that I could get the putty knife behind the individual mirrors.

Joe, I am replacing the mirrors in my coach with stainless steel tiles, bought them at Lowes, they come in one foot square backing. They are brushed stainless and look very professional. These can be attached to the wall with urethane adhesive then grouted with your favorite color. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Stainless-Steel-Brick-Mosaic-Metal-Wall-Tile-Common-12-in-x-12-in-Actual-9-76-in-x-11-73-in Also if you remember my bathroom, I used mirrored stainless steel in there and we love the fact that there is no glass to crack.

The Florida laws are about the same as most places, but the enforcers are less tolerant to law breakers.

That red dye in the off road won't easily come off of your hands either. Keon, my little story under this same thread happened in Florida, I lived there 12 years too long, and will tell you that if you don't like the laws in Maryland, you will hate them in Florida.

This is the one that I have warned about in many posts, the DOT has the right to pull anything on wheels over for an inspection at anytime that they wish to do so, and in any state. Such a shame that this happened to anyone that is not guilty of charges leveled against them, but it is the responsibility of the driver to be aware of laws that exist, and follow them to the best of their knowledge. Yes I have heard of these random checks which brings to mind an incident when I lived in Florida. My two daughters one 14, the other 5 at the time, went to Alabama to purchase a large Collie dog, beautiful animal. We were traveling in a cargo van that I used for work back then, it was not customary then for this type van to stop for ag., or weigh stations. One of the workers at the ag station decided to chase me down and proceeded to chew me out. He demanded that I open the rear doors and display my cargo, it was after sunset sp he shined his bright flashlight into the van, all that was there was empty space, and three sets of eyes. He bid me good night and told me in the future that I needed to stop at his station.

Here is a smartphone app that will actually send you a text message if the power fails. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.sjbcomputerconsultants.powercut.free&hl=en You can go to the website and see video instructions. I'm reasonably sure that there is a temperature monitoring app out there as well, just haven't looked for it. A very simple way to insure that you always get messages is to install a UPS "uninteruppted power source" and plug the messaging system into it.

What about that soap scum that never disappears.LOL

Tannehille state park is 15 miles southwest of Birmingham, six miles below I-459 on I-20/I-59. Very nice campground, has about 60 full service and over 300 water and electric only. It's located about 5 miles off of I-20/I-59. They do not take reservations, but this time of year you will not need one, if senior citizen, full hookup is about $25.00 per day. I live within 10 miles of the park and will help in providing an adequate parking space. If my help is needed, post it here or PM me, I can provide cell # and be glad to help.

If the body is fiberglass, a good two part epoxy will probably work well, can be found at almost any autopart store. Simple to use just follow directions with the product.

Wayne and Keon, you guys are bringing back too many fond memories, I loaded a barn roof back in the early 90's and worked 7 countries on 20 meters. 73

If you have a cable TV hookup in the Entegra, you can use the cable lead from the outside to the inside, just mount the satellite receiver at the TV end and the necessary cables from the receiver to the TV. There are many ways but now knowing what you have already limits the possibility for knowing what you already have, i.e., do you you have a rooftop dish etc. Welcome to the forum.

Joe, if I had my rathers, I would stay with your current setup except move to AGM's if at all possible. Happy new year, Kay.

I have used Toyo tires in the past and have never had any bad experiences with them. But you may want to check the tire diameter between 295X80 22.5 versus 315X70 22.5. the 315X70 is about 1.22 inches shorter than the 295X80, meaning more revolutions per mile. 315X75 is almost an exact diameter. While typing wildebill beat me to the punch but here is another calculator. https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=295-80r22.5-315-75r22.5

If you store the coach on the outside, there is also a small gasoline generator charger that hooks directly to the battery bank. The built in electronics monitor the charge of the batteries that it is maintaining and when they fall close to the lowest level that it is set to maintain, it will start off of the batteries that it is maintaining and run until ample charge has been achieved. It is a little pricey, but works very well.

Tom, I agree, RV lots sales is almost like buying into a time share, it usually entails either monthly or annual maintenance fees which tend to go higher each year. And as you said if you get tired of the place, you can crank up and leave at your own discretion. I was almost suckered into one of those own your own once, but after reading the fine print twice, there were too many gotcha's.

Cape Canaveral AFB is adjacent to Kennedy Space Center. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Space_Center Happy Holidays everyone.

Joe, I have relatives in St Augustine, will have them check for the better campgrounds there soon after holidays and get that info to you. Merry Christmas to you and the family, and everyone else on the forum.

Tracker is 1991, paid 2K for it 8 years ago, probably has as many toad miles as driven miles, 105,000. I don't tow it as often on long trips anymore, I use tow dolly to pull mine or DW's newer on the longer trips because of taking the mini golfcart on those longer stays.

I use one of those digital thermometers in the wet bay also, one that shows the outside reading on a gauge inside the motor home, mounted the outside transmitter inside the wet bay. This way I can see the wet bay temperature at any time, if the actual outside temperature falls close to freezing, the wet bay area should always read above the freezing mark. I use waterbed heaters in my wet bay that was placed under the tanks, then set the units to come on at 35 degrees then shut off at 40, with the same set up as I describe

If you can use manual transmission, most of the older ones can be flat towed. I have a friend that towed a 2004 Honda Accord Auto that could be flat towed. I love Jeep's, but finding one of those for under 5K is next to impossible. I have a 4WD Geo Tracker that pulls great, and it's auto, not for sale. Good luck hunting.

Well I write often that black is the best UV blocker available, being a HAM, we have known this fact for years because we build antennas using wire as a dipole and hoisting it into the air and leaving it there for years, white or any color other than black will last only two to three years, while I have used black rope and it is still there after 21 years. With that said, Roger is correct about white being the best color for covering your tires, the heat is the concern for protecting your tires because it reduces heat, unless you have some special tire that is colored, it is already black, so by nature it is already the best UV blocker. My biggest concern about tires is them sitting on asphalt, petroleum based, so is the tire, concrete, it is alkaline, which will start premature deterioration, and many soils and gravel can be alkaline or acid causing the same effect in prolonged periods. Better they sit on newspaper than nothing when staying awhile.

Ray, if you do decide on Tannehill, send me a PM, I live less than 20 miles from there, would love to meet you and the DW, will buy lunch or dinner.

Another thought is what percentage of bio diesel if any was in the tank at the time of the loss of power, bio has a tendency to cut any crud loose in a system and could have caused a starving fuel condition then passed on through and returned back to a more normal condition. Only speculation but another thought since it seems to have cleared up after the incident, as wildbill308 said Diesel Kleen additive can't hurt anything, I personally like Sea Foam, but that's a personal thing.

Take a look at this one on ebay, might be what you are looking for. Also as jmnorman said a camera might be a good choice. the rear view ones can be mounted in any location, and they can be set for rear or front view with the toggle of a switch on the monitor, look up rear view camera on ebay or amazon. Prices start about 60 bucks for a wireless one, and if you are going to mount on the front, wireless is easy mount and works pretty well on the front of a pusher since there is no motor interference there and the camera is close to the monitor/receiver. There was a recent thread on this same topic with several comments on the same subject. And yes Carl, there are many ways a mirror can be attached to the front of a coach.

Dawn is great for grease and petroleum product removal, but Tide is great for algae removal, add a little Clorox to the Tide for an even easier removal of algae, as well as a deterrent for early reformation of the algae. Algae is what becomes that black hard to remove substance on the exterior. And of course a good wax job after the scrubbing is a must, as the Tide will remove the previous wax coating. Also rubbing alcohol applied with a soft cloth on smaller areas of the black crud will remove it very easily. And while on the subject of cleaning, ammonia and alcohol added to water (PLEASE NO CLOROX in this mixture", the fumes are DEADLY") makes one of the best glass cleaners available.
