At the Redmond reunion my wife went to the Ladies Social. While there she won a couple of prizes. First one is a blanket that she will have to find a use for and the other one is a stuffed bear. She was instructed to take pictures of the many places the bear appear. She is to return the bear next year in Bend, OR. She took the first picture of it sitting on the dash as we were driving down the road leaving Redmond. The question we have is should the pictures be only RV travel related or more everyday life? What do we do with the pictures? Do we make a blog or a photo gallery? This care bear thing is new to us.

Goes to political parties to spend on whatever they want. Really they spend more money on studies and fighting on what should be done than the repairs or projects themselves. Seattle politician spent over 1 billion over ten years fighting to replace a bridge that cost 365 million. Now it is costing another 1.5 billion with cost overruns to build the bridge. That bridge is going to be a toll bridge that wasn't before so I will never use it. It's not that there isn't enough money but it's the jerks that we elect to waste it.

Yes I had a great time at the rally and even join a new chapter in my area. That chapter is having a rally this coming September and I'm going to it. I'm also aware of another chapter I want to join and will be in contact with them soon thanks to Redmond for both. All of my neighbors there far and wide was very nice and my wife and I had great conversation with many of them. BTW the picture at the bottom is from Redmond and I did wipe it down but the wheels is dull from driving through a monsoon to get there on route 26. Roadmaster check my tow bar and deemed it worn out. Since it was and old model with no parts available for it (Eagle 8000) they took the old one in trade to quote "Get it off the road". I also got a 10 sensor tire pressure monitor system for better price than at Camping World thanks to tireman and a vendor. We got a quote for a remodel for the bedroom to add another closet and drawers since we had the room. I am also aware of a replacement fan blade on the direct drive diesel pusher I have that more quiet and robs less HP. Thanks to similars at Redmond I learn alot. One of the nightly entertainment I really enjoyed. This was well worth the money for this rally and I will attend another one. I know Bend, OR has one next year. My wife also has to return a stuff bear then.

After 2002 model year. Before that no more than B5 because of the seals.

I'm not trying to kick a hornet nest but the strap is fabric and can tear in a straight line like duct tape. Most fabric does that as I remember ripping many pants and shirts.

Where I was parked on D-3 street at Redmond, there is a X where the left front corner goes and a line where the left rear side is not suppose to cross. The rear is not to be pass the wiring run behind the coach. If your coach was in these boundaries you shouldn't have to move it. I wouldn't of and instead would of checked their coach to see if they were parked correctly. There was plenty of room there to park large SUV and have scooters and golf carts too. On a 12 year old coach, window awning straps are known to break on their own when they are under tension. I wouldn't blame anyone unless I'm 100% sure and saw it happen. I was lucky and didn't bump into anyone unfriendly there.

Try going through the Yukon and see if you have the same praise for Canada. Then when you drive into Alaska you will see the road improve very much. Do you know that the B.C. truckers prefer to go into the US when going east then back up into their country. I guess it's depends on where you look.

You may need to have an intelitek control panel installed. Why? If your coach is 50 amp and you're plugged into 30 amp or worst 20 amp you will be overloading the source of your power. The power management in the intelitek will switch things off if you go over the rating. Example: When I was at Redmond this week my 50 amp coach was plugged into 30 amp. I was running my front A/C and used the microwave while the A/C was running. Guess what, there isn't enough amps for both on one leg since the frig was on 120 as well as HW heater. So the intelitek turned off the a/c until the microwave was done then turn the a/c back on. Are you sure this isn't what's happening?

I could be wrong but I thought I saw them as a vendor at the Redmond, OR reunion.

Looks like there will be stormy drives to Redmond today and tomorrow. Please be safe and drive careful on these stormy condition. You can blame the storms on me as I shined up my coach for the drive there tomorrow. Mother nature wins another one.

Wow Khuskeysr what a different 6 years make. If you click my pic the one I have is covered with metal and painted to match at the roofline. It attached to the top edge of the slide with a four bolts near the front and rear. http://www.carefreeofcolorado.com/carefree/products?action=product&productid=46&categoryid=30 I found one mis drilled hole on the other side of coach filled with clear silicone. I never saw it till I hand waxed it because it up high near one of the awnings. Must of been like that since new but I will never know.

Are you replacing the whole awning or just the fabric? I had fabric replaced on one slide and one end slides in a channel on the roof and the other attached to the reel thats on the slide. http://www.rvworkshop.com/Slide-out-awning-replacement-fabric link

Most of the older Jeeps you put the transfer case in neutral and the automatic transmission in park. To unlock the steering is one click clockwise with the ignition off. There has been problems with some newer Jeeps as misprogrammed software for transfer case.

I have the power probe kit and I could test end to end with it. Plug into any 12/24 volt power source and with 50+ feet of leads all wires can be checked end to end whatever value it should supply. If the module is good and the cluster is good then I suspect a mouse in hidden area chew wires. http://www.powerprobe.com/webstore/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=205 I almost forgot, it has transmitter and remote for impossible jobs. No shop should be without this kit.

Where are you located? Are you going to the Family reunion in Redmond, OR. We may have a use for a door bin or two and maybe inside bin. My wife likes to pack it tight sometimes but never complain about it.

Shell is now putting Power Service Extreme Diesel in their pumps. If you go anywhere else you can pick up a bottle at WalMart. https://powerservicextremediesel.com/

There is a screen on the inlet and could of calcium up from sitting. Clean that screen and make sure that all valves are close that could allow it to suck air. I left the water purge valve open once and had the same problem.

Make sure it's not the recall box that went out. Very common problem.

What make units are they? Mine has removable panels with a couple of clips you pull on to release from the body. The clips don't slide you just press it away from the body.

OK if the solenoid clicks you now know that the s terminal is getting power and you have some ground. If you can put a test light on the output of the solenoid you should see the test light lit dim possible bad started. If the test light is bright possible bad ground. First go over all connection at starter to be sure even if it's been done before. The process of elimination is key here.

JC the owners manual is fine but short of aftermarket details such as braking and lighting as well as tow bar setup. OP now know the ignition isn't on but one click to unlock the steering wheel. What will run the battery down is acessories that use vehicle power to work such as braking and lighting.

I found that my unit from Vietnam have a web page and was able to contact many that served with me there. 178th Assault Support Helicopter Company (Boxcar) with the double dice 6's logo 1971 - 1972.

Where are you at right now? Is it very hot outside? That will lower performance of a box stuck in a 3 sided wall.
