Wayne. nice floor plan & a real shower!

I'm with Bill & Jim on this one. Currently have a 45', but have had 40, 36, 32, 30 footers in the past 12 years. I can attest that just because you have a 30', does not mean that you will have access to the National Park. Now, if you intend to be a work camper, then they will accommodate you, up to 36' in most parks and you will have mostly 30A and water, you still need to dump! Core of Engineer parks, I have stayed in before in my 45', but no sewage hook up. My DO, Linda has a 40' DP and several times we will be in both rigs....we prefer to camp outside the National Parks...50A, water and Sewage hook up. Also, room to sit and enjoy the outdoors, grill and not tell people that, "No we are not sharing food with you"! I got several of those T-Shirts!!!

It's old now!

Then again, when your on Shore Power, turn your inverter on L1, off. That should tell you what your getting and not getting to run on that leg. Since we both have a non propane coach, I assume we have the same residential stuff in there. Stackable washer & dryer, dishwasher, microwave/convection, 3 burner elect. stove, fridge, heated tile floors, separate elect. wall heather in bath room, heat pump and 3 AC's! Am I missing something?

Confusing! I had my coach inspected in Bandera, Texas, while I was in toad, driving to Galveston. When I got there, I got my tags on both after getting my Jeep inspected. You still have to show a hard copy of the Insurance at the Title office...even though they have it on file!

Joe S. That's the reason, I got rid of my free download and went back to my 7pro. I chose what I want to download...I'm not a gamer and those are some really big files....my downloads are mainly security patches. I look at them first, some are redundant.

Ditto, X 3!

Bill. Now your inspection on Coach and Car/Cars have to be done in the same month your tags are due....all of mine is in January and all my insurance policy's are in February! The idea was to do away with inspections and go get your tags with insurance papers in hand as they are due...I think the roadblock probably has to do, with the State losing $ in their coffers by not getting any kick back from inspections, but I don't know that.

AH electric will run overnight on inverter (batteries), but like the AC heat pump, it will start blowing cold air at about 38 outside ambient. If you just turn it on for hot water and not the furnace, then as long as you have fuel to run the generator to charge batteries...that's the expensive way. If you are in -20 you need to use the diesel side of the AH. draws very little elect.

FIVE. Frozen over for Texas, even had snow down in Brownsville and freezing rain into Tampico, Mexico!

Your right, Rick...oops! Most folks that I have talked to, about 1/3 is the norm on a new coach!

Jim S. Me, yes! Coach, NO!

I know of a Prevost XL II, that had a renowned artist do a whole coach paint job and it's black and white cracks...$62,000! Yea, it's in Texas! Ugh

Rick. 30/35 is normal for new...35/40 used. The dealer already got the used coach at low ball trade-in! My current coach, I got used, 3 years and 26,700 miles old = 35% off top end retail NADA. Right place, right time. They practically had my 18 month old Allegro Bus sold, before I moved out. LOL

Rick. Buffer & Wax? Kay. I'll revise that, I like china bowl, just not with macerator built in! Electronic sensor gets a piece of something on it and you get the red light, then you can't flush, until you use the outside black water back flush, to clear the sensor. That in a thunder storm and it's raining, like a cow pissing on a flat rock, or it's below freezing and the winds at 20mph, makes you appreciate the foot pedal toilet. A lot.

Agree with that. No fun getting to a RR over pass and reading "clearance 11' 6" and I'm 12' 3"....got that T-Shirt.

Herman. He has to go thru the nasty -30/40 that we had all January...I would wait to -20 myself. F438921. You will be fine! Enjoy the warmth in AZ.

What FIVE is saying. I have 2 PSW 2800 inverters, 4 AGM 6V on each. Brett, I can not run AC off of inverter. I do have the generator set to come on automatically in the event of Shore power loss or when batteries hit 11.8V (it reads 2 together), when on inverter. Mine is a Tradition, FIVE's is 4 years never than mine and it's a Eagle & why his is wired that far from mine, is above my pay scale!

Gbar. Welcome to the Forum! This post is almost a year old....suspect he sold the coach!

Mark. 4 door, custom made for a family member. I have it on a umbrella insurance policy...not expensive at all. Last month, I got a really good deal on a MB 2005 AMG 55 convertible 2 door roaster, 24 valve, 493HP. The last 55 AMG built before the Daimler take over. Yes, I drive it, for the same reason as Richard stated. Brett, I do believe this thread has run way away from OP! Feel free to shut it down, before it gets to personal.

Mark. Perhaps you should study a little more about cars, truck and RV's that are older than 20 years old...Think Jay Leno's collection of Antique vehicles are due for the scrap heap? He's got vehicles that has less than 30 miles or 7 hours on them and they all are in excellent condition...yes he has 3 full time mechanics helping him, the important part is that he can take them all apart and put them back together again...Oh, he also has a large assortment of Motor Cycles! I got a 1972 Bentley with 1,913 miles on it...by your standards, I guess I should just throw it away?

Hard to make out anything since the photo is into the sun...best if the light is behind you!

Kay. I think it's the light, I also think there is a wire that is replaced on the wrong post, when he installed the batteries...200A is quite a blow.

Dan, I don't do facebook, but have been told that FMCA is offering $45 membership + a free tool set !

I use Calgon, 1/4 cup in a quart of warm water every month on the road. CLR = Calcium, Lime, Rust remover....1/2 cup straight in bowl, let sit for a couple of hours when camped or as long as possible when your driving before flushing. Every 3 months! China bowels are a pain to keep clean, especially the macerator kind...I hate them!
