  1. Byron, in the 60's, 70's you could end up with "Barge gas". Old, nasty, tar like fuel. In 2008, I got into heavy condensate from a very busy T/A truck stop on I-10 in TX. engine stopped in parking lot...got 3 glasses of water out of fuel filter, before I got diesel.
  2. Like Jim S. Also, used generator as a power source for weeks, at ranch in Gladewater, TX., during Hurricane Rita! In Christmas of 2004, Galveston Island, got 7 inches of snow! The compressor at house died and my dog and I lived in coach for 3 days!
  3. Mike. Welcome to the club! As long as you need help here, like me, your in school. The answer is above my "pay scale"!
  4. The factory must have changed the amount gears from 4 to 6. I only had one 2500, it was 4 speed with OD, mated to a Duramax engine in a 2500 Silverado! 56,000+/miles, never an issue, no matter what I pulled...I also used it as a toad.

    Rotor Needed

    Have you tried REV Tech ? REV owns all Monaco products and parts!
  6. Guess he got the problem fixed. He's a busy man & travels a lot for business!
  7. Joe. Linda has never been to Boston area. Since we will be coming back from 2 months in the Maritime Provinces, early Sep. my issue is where to park a 45 footer? 4 days ought to fill her up! Also, when going into town, am I better off taking a cab?
  8. Sorry Bill, not buying that one! A 5,000 pound rated coach, does not need a 10,000 pound hitch for any reason or a 10,000 pound tow bar! Keep in mind, a lot of newbies, read or are on this Forum and we do not give out miss information!
  9. As long as you keep the CAC clean, you'll be fine! Take it, that your 5'er has more living space than the coach?
  10. I downshift my 3000 manually, in/off cruise control, up or down steep grades and have had no issues. The idea is to keep high rpm's. If you don't downshift, you risk "lugging" the engine...that's not a good idea!
  11. A no brainer for all. Richard, in your coach I agree 100% with your solution!
  12. As Richard said...now it has begun! There are times on the Forum, that reminds me of, "One flew over the Cocoos nest..."!

    Lake Tahoe

    Nevada side. More to do! Also, when are you going? In what?
  14. He should be scared to death, for all of us, on the Hwy with a centenarian behind the wheel. Leon is no Spring chicken!
  15. Herman. Thinking it was back about 10-12 years ago. The 1200's was chucked out at CW and replaced...back of the shops had dozens. Richard, you might be on to making money, if you can get one put together for less than a replacement.
  16. Having recommended pressure in a toad, is dependent on what kind you have, surface and weight in toad! Just like the coach, just because my tires say #125 cold, don't mean I should have it that high! Mine are 115. My Jeep Wrangler has been modified, so I can't go by "recommended" anything!
  17. You can lead a mule to water, but you can't make him drink! Too many re-calls for too long on the NoCold 1200! Also, too many rigs/lives lost to fire! 😡
  18. He put in my unit at the 2016 Perry Rally...Grandpa was there also, he invented the original & still drives his converted bus!
  19. Richard. There is another 9.87 ac. Gets a haircut by Deer daily! I still have around 50 Cedar trees to remove, now after all this rain (more expected today), it will be easier to knock them down with a tractor and pull them to burn piles! I'm highly allergic to Cedar (not all, just the ones in this part of Texas)! We have plenty of big oaks for the Deer & Birds. I do what Linda want, her property! I have 2 sections in West Texas..hunting ranch & there it's what I want. 😎
  20. Herman. How old is Monty now? I have not found a better or easier air brake system than M & G...in 43 years of towing a Toad, I have had them all.
  21. Clarification: ObedB. Pilot joined with Flying J in 2012...very interesting read on Wikipedia. It's now in the top 10 corporations in America!
