    Tire Pressure

    manholt replied to mypopslou's topic in Tires

    Pops. From my experience, prior to the invention off TPMS & remote monitors, we had no concern! TPMS to me, is another warning tool, if I have a sudden air loss in a tire, I can get off the road and stop the coach, before I have structural damage! How hot is too hot? IMHO I'm not Paranoiac enough to care. Don't over react to the exact science, leave that to the Racing Pros! Enjoy your travels, don't forget that an air gauge, like a leveler, is only as good as the last time it was calibrated....

    Please do! I have done a lot of welding, but never Poly!

    I never said it will stop me, just a heads up for the future! Some where along the line, we will run into each other (almost happened in San Antonio)! We are going to Oregon after Gillette, then a Norwegian Fjord Cruise and 2 weeks in Sweden....Our Diesel price, will feel like a give away, when we return!

    Mike. I would agree with you if I still had a job! Nothing say's HOT, than Texas and LA., in the summer! The older I get, the more I want that 60 to 80 spread, year around. Might have to think about Pacific NW in Summer and South Texas in Winter. Then there is the proposed 25 cent a gallon Interstate repair tax! That "will end when they are all fixed"..... In your great grandkids life time! We will have $5 a gallon fuel as a norm, I suspect in the next 5 years! Going by your pump price for Diesel....Refining is about .03 cent per gallon + 15 ppm Sulfur! Big Oil operates on a 4% profit margin.

    Yes, I do remember 2008. Taos, NM $4.969 a gal. Now, I roll 450 +/- miles and get around 80 gallons...Still makes me pucker! Think I'll leave the 110 to 125 gallon fill ups, alone for a while! Think about Europa that rolls on $7 t0 $8 per gallon of regular gas, that makes me feel better! Jim S. Anyone who lives in the Texas Hill Country, with expensive, new toys, can't complain about being broke or having "deep empty pockets"!

    Original equipment, ride for me. I have a heavy coach! My Lady has a '06 Phaeton 40 DP and runs Michelins, her reason is, security and ride.

    Richard. $700+/- seems right to me! You get what you pay for on the cheap....

    ATF in oil

    Ditto, X2 !

    IMHO, I would go with a true one ton! Ease of hauling, better economy and less wear & tear. Also, more flexibility now and the future!

    Having used every brake system available over the past 40+ years, I now have the M & G system. Connect one air line to coach/toad and the brake away line. That's it....about $1,100+/- ! Makes no logical sense to me, to play "Russian Roulette", for the sake of safety and a couple of grand. You have not lived, until you have seen your own toad pass you, on the Interstate! Carl C.

    The inside is great, but only as good as the foundation it's riding on! Have you had the engine, transmission, chassis, drive axle, u-joints and generator serviced? How about the DOT number for age of all tires? Batteries...AGM or Acid? Does it have a built in Surge protection??

    Unless the tow law got changed, it's 3,500# in Texas!

    Cummins has a 24/7 tech help. Give them the code, I don't remember what my code was, when my Oil level sensor went bad, but it did what yours is doing! The sensor is around $35 and about 30 minutes to replace.

    WhiteEagle. Would help to know what your looking for...high end resort or on the economy plan? Have been both ways, prefer the first. Let me know, I'll send you a PM.

    Byron. That's putting it mildly! Don't know how it is today. If it's still the same, I would think three times before doing it in a 37+! kkugler. You can catch a lot off the Utah NP's by toad from KOA just south of Grand Junction, CO. also Monticello, Utah.

    WOW. Great information! DD69 is correct...we all search for the one stop shop, that has experience and great rates!

    Then there is the rotation of the Earth...kid you not...I get around .4 mpg (6.8) better between West Coast and FL., than the opposite direction (6.2)!!! Fuel now is avg., $2.75 in Texas! 6 weeks ago, it was $2.27..
  21. manholt
    Looks like a good, inexpensive solution. Not to get personal, but why wait till fall?
  22. manholt
    Until you get it figured out. How about posting it now...Make, Model, Year and length, would go a long way, for us to help you/you to help others!

    Freightliner Oasis

    manholt replied to rfsod48's topic in Chassis

    That is the Number one reason I go to TCC in Pipe Creek, number 2 is that they are honest and charge $75-85 an hour labor! Even break it down in 15 minute intervals! We all make mistakes, they stay by them....no charge!

    Mr. Google, you think? I have lived by the thought (all my life), that if I was not 100% sure of the answer, I would try to find out and get back to the person who asked. IMHO. Half A$$'d don't help!!! Mark, at this point I really can't answer your question! Kind of like, "is there a smooth riding Class B, out there"? Carl

    Looks to me, we have East Coast, Central so far! So, if the EC make plans for Gettysburg and Central does Coffee Creek and then we can have one at the National Rally or Winter National.
