We stayed at Indian Waters on Jefferson Street. Very nice and clean with lots of room for large rigs.

Illegal to boobi-trap YES Illegal to install an alarm NO!

It's a safety device so you don't want to leave it bypass. If it doesn't reset with strong magnet the board is defective if not the cooling unit. Have it looked at soon..
-
The first word that come to my mind is rent. There are dealers that rent and one of them is Camping World. Welcome to America!
-
Hold a strong magnet to the right of the light on the bypass box for about 5 seconds. You will hear a click and the bypass box will reboot. If all is well the light will go out and the controls will be working again.

I wanted it for the Walmart listing and the big rig campgrounds.

I just signed up for roadside assistance and was going to order the FMCA Road Atlas & Travel Guide, 50th Anniversary Edition. The person told me it wasn't available until December 15, 2013. I cancel the atlas because I will be on the road by then. Now I see here that it's in stock. I wouldn't expect it would take 2 1/2 months to ship. How could it be in stock or am I missing something?

I been looking for awhile for use baseplate for 2006 Jeep Liberty for a good while now. Also for Roadmaster tow bar setup. Looks like we have to give up and buy new.

This is how to weld terminals on 0000 AWG battery cable. You can also use a small torch for the heat and I prefer heat shrink warp for the joints when done.

Your vehicle is listed OK to tow but may need an dealer-installed neutral Tow Kit.
-
Bad point is I got my nice used coach because the former owner lost it to the bank. Low miles on it but lots of fixing to do.
-
Rich I know it shorted and had to stop because the fuse is also on the driver side shade. I'm not an electrical guy but I can try to slap the back of the hand of the offending person and see how far that will get me.

101 is 2 lane scenery route and I-5 is interstate highway with many lanes. 101 is a long way around and will take you all day just to drive from OR to Olympia, WA city. If you have the time go the long slow route, if you need to move quick then take I-5.
-
My coach has two passenger shade switch. One for the passenger and one for the driver. You should see what happens when the driver pushes the switch for down and the passenger pushes for the shade to go up. Nobody wins but I have to make a stop and change the fuse.

I use a battery post type terminal puller. Works great.

On mine the wiper arms coming through the fiberglass allowed to much flex and allow wiper to run off on driver side and get stuck. The fix was to add large fender washer on both side of the threaded shaft on both side inside and out (4 washers) and tighten the nut down. You can spray paint them to match the body. I figured this out after a burnt wiper motor from it getting stuck.

I copy this from the 3000 MH and 4000 MH owners manual.HIGH FLUID TEMPERATUREThe transmission is considered to be overheated when any of the followingtemperatures are exceeded:Sump fluid 121˚C (250˚F)Fluid to cooler 149˚C (300˚F)Retarder out fluid 165˚C (330˚F)If the sump fluid temperature reaches 128°C (262°F) the ECU will inhibit operationin the higher rangesIf the transmission overheats during normal operations, check the fluid level in thetransmission. (Refer to the Fluid Check Procedures as described in the CARE ANDMAINTENANCE section starting on Page 28 of this handbook.)If the engine temperature gauge indicates a high temperature, the transmission is probablyoverheated. Stop the vehicle and check the cooling system. If it appears to be functioningproperly, run the engine at 1200–1500 rpm with the transmission in N (Neutral). Thisshould reduce the transmission and engine temperatures to normal operating levels in2 or 3 minutes. If temperatures do not decrease, reduce the engine rpm.If the engine temperature indicates a high temperature, an engine or radiatorproblem is indicated. If high temperature in either the engine or transmissionpersists, stop the engine and have the overheating condition investigated bymaintenance personnel. -
That would be a good link for me to see about the eco mode on the Allison 6 speed if that is what transmission it's about.
-
That's strange, my owners manual says to drop to lower gear as you hit a steep grade that supposed to keep engine temperature down and fuel mileage better. Then again the transmission has an eco button that seems to have the transmission shift sooner and hold higher gear longer. I have a boost gauge and I thought it was there to let you know the turbo is working. On mine the boost is low when cruising but rise when accelerating up to 25 lbs.

I guess it's another way to sell snake oil. I figure I would have to burn 1,500 gal of fuel at $4 per gallon to pay for it. I got 8.75 MPG on my 5,000 mile trip to Alaska and back so if I got an 10% increase it would be 9.65 MPG. That means I would have to drive 14,475 mile to realize a payback. I guess not worth it from the feedback I got.

I have a 2006 Holiday Rambler Ambassador 40' DP with 8.3L Cummins 330 ISC. I see programmers available that claims more power and fuel mileage. These just plug in to wire harness at the fuel rail and turbo pressure sensors with some being adjustable. Has anyone use one of these chips and if so is it worth it?
-
OK I got the steer axle installed and wheel alignment. What a different it made and will soon get 4 more for the rear. The tires cost 495.71 each before taxes from Michelin and I paid labor for new valves and balance to the dealer. I will have the rears replaced before the trip to the east coast this coming Christmas season.
-
OK, I got the rear one on by using wire ties on the ladder up high. The ladder is too wide to use double face tape or screws but it looks good as each end touches the ladder. I'm thinking of a suction cup mount (2) to hold the other one on the inside of the windshield for the front.

When we first had the sofa bed used by friends we later found that the mattress had a air mattress built inside that needed to be filled when in use. Just think how dumb we felt.

Mid December is a risk for snow and I don't know how you will avoids passes. May not necessarily snow that time of year but there is a way to travel during that time. If you are coming up to a pass that has snow, stop before and check the local radio or TV for condition. Sometimes best to camp for the night and wait til cleared usually mid-afternoon the next day to be safe. Good luck!
