Your right Richard. Been in Grayhound, Continental, MANN Tour Buses & Prevost. Turn on the OTR and you can hang meat, anywhere. Don't grab a window seat...☃️

I'm hard wired & I carry a portable for shore post. I would rather catch a problem at Campground CB, if I can!

Mine is a 10kw. Since I'm all electric, then with roof air on, it's about, .6 gal an hour while driving. We're on generator about 7 hrs. a day! That's in the hottest part of the country in Summer and I also run dash air, so, I guess- to- mate, a gal. an hour, or 45 miles that I loss a day. We will be putting about 8,000+/- miles on coach this Summer, in about 120 days...I'll experiment and let you know! Interesting question, a lot of variables...

Ian, you burst my bubble...I was so, hoping for some good milk and cheese! Oh well, back to Sour Cream, Cottage Cheese and 1/2 & 1/2!
-
I suspect it's more like European milk, higher cream content. In Norway & Sweden, I drink milk, because it's Pasteurized not Homogenized. Also, 6% !
-
All my chassis fuses are located on driver side, 1st bay, that has generator slide out control. We are both Fleetwood.

Eric, you need some dry, big, palm fronds, to cover the metal on the side! 😎 -
Try NAPA or call Monaco and talk to Parts Dept. Amazing what they still have in stock!
-
Bill, as a ND, I can come in the 10th, if I want too! Day before is good.

DB. We are coming from Gladewater, Texas...I-30 is 50 miles North, then we will head to Cleveland, Ohio. Albany, NY would be going South, South East. We don't do 600+ miles a day, our speed is more in the 300 and less. Also, stop for a couple of days, here and there to sightsee! We figure 17 days to cover the 1,800+ miles up there (I like a cushion for any unforeseen incidences)! Murphy's Law. On the return trip, we have a month to get to LA.
-
Yep, only other place, would be by the stove! I have seen some strange signs placed above the back splash!

What do you use to get the coach wheel of the ground? Shoulder of the road, then what? It's been my experience (pray it don't happen again), that a flat or blow out, happens at the most inconvenient places!

DB, can you mill 8"x8"x14' posts? If so, you'll save more than a buck! -

Eric, I'll get with you in March, about 1/2 dozen pup's that would otherwise go on the burn pile! In plastic tubs or large barrels, they do great... You putting a ice maker in the bar...keep beer cold? -
There are a lot of different power systems available, some are just chips for more power. The Financing of the Banks System was Dale Johnson and his Son in Law, Gale Banks was the inventor! Dale was my fathers best friend in Santa Monica, CA. until dad passed in 1983. Last time I saw Dale and Gale, was at the FMCA INTO Rally in Lebanon, Tenn. 2002. Banks was compliant with all CA. emission laws and street legal. Since the Headquarters are in Azusa, CA. I would think, they are still compliant, with all EPA & CA. emission laws! In 2005, I bought my last gas coach, 2006 Southwind 32 foot and had it delivered in Texas, with the Banks Power System...Did not affect my warranty! I took it all over this country for 18 months and 27,000 miles, with no problems of any kind...then I needed more torque and a higher tow capacity for a 24' Stacker trailer, that's when I got the WB Tour 40KD. With a DP, it's a whole other ball game.

Looks like a doable system to me! Don't know about Atlanta, but we will be in Perry, GA., The 12th of Feb. in Handicap 50 amp Parking! Have a red Jeep with all the appropriate Masonic stickers in back. Herman Mullins, will also have a Meet & Greet at his coach, it will be announced on the Forum, as to space #, when!
-
Herman, your 82 & your knees, are one step away from replacement. Just like my 76' ers, are! Linda has the hydraulic tire rack...We got a 43 hp tractor, that needs new tires, come on down to the ranch, you can use the rack all you want...we even got all the tools you need. "A mans got to know his limitations"!
-
Never seen one turn that color before! Where is it mounted?
-
Did you get a new coach?

Went out there with friends in March 2013. I-10 from Houston, TX to Buckeye, AZ. From Van Horn, TX. to Deming, NM. It was one big Dust Storm! Next day from Deming to Benson, AZ. it was, Snow, Sleet and Rain, white out conditions on several occasions. Benson to Buckeye, blue sky & warm weather for the next 2 weeks! In March 2014, we had the same as above all the way to "Rocky Point, Mexico"! In March 2016, same as above! On all 3 trips, we left the first week of March...had no problems coming back home in early April.

That's a nice coach...been looking at a few, also the 630. At 98K, it's barley broke in! I was getting 6.4 on mine at 82k, took it in to Cummings and they put the computer on it, found that the sift points on the Allison was off...now, I'm getting 6.8 to 7.2 mpg and it's easier to climb long grades! You could do the same...I would take it to Allison!
-
Yep! Leave the liquor or drink it, before crossing. I think we will be coming back thru Calais, our staging is in Montreal, Canada! Still trying to find the best way to cross into Canada. Been in Montreal once in 1996, for a LCIF International Convention & I crossed after Watertown, NY. Is there a better way?

bigpapaporshe. My bad. Brain fart, I did not click to your coach & if I had a Class B, I would be caring a spare! When I had Class A gas coaches, they where between 22' to 33', 16" to 19.5" tires and came with a mounted spare tire, in a case built in at the rear of coach (1967-1996)! Pre Radial/steel belted tires, I would have a flat about every trip. I have wrapped Duck tape around a leak and limped into a garage, more than once! The last 23 years, they have all been 22.5" and I do not have the tools or ability to change my tire! Also, in the past 23 years, I have had no tire problem...Lucky me! 3 DP's. I average 14,000 miles a year & no, I'm not full time!
-
Agreed & thank you Herman!

Ray. We have a WiFi antenna, 16' pole that separate into 2, 8' sections for travel. When in use, we use 3 bungee cords wrapped around the rear ladder. Holds pole in place and wind has not been an issue! Unless you plan on keeping the coach until you die or it dies, permanent brackets may not be what the next owner wants! Just a thought.
