Dusty. Welcome to the Forum! Is this your first experience with cold winter weather? I see, you have been a member since 2009....Is this a test?

f330021. With all due respect for your knowledge. 2 bikes on front, Trooper II as toad, 3 coaches and over 120,000 miles in 9 years, all over the USA including Alaska and Canada. No problems. This was, in coaches built in 1980's! 2 was Class A, Gas and 1 Class A, DP all under 34 foot. Guess we just built better back then!

TT, you can still run? I gave that up 20 years ago...bad knees! How's the weather at your place now? As bad as ours? I suspect that big 5'er of yours is a mite cold now!

Wayne. Don't hold your breath! I just hope it does not stay more than a day or two next time! It's now 5am and it's 28 in Three Rivers, TX., and 33 in Ruidoso, NM., at 7,000' ! That's insane.

Well, what I get from this, and I don't know much about paint and clear coat, is that it's not a bad paint job, as much as it is bad timing, in the application of the clear coat. Witch explains why, the cost of a re paint, is based upon the amount of colors you want and the design= hours of labor + the quality of the paint and clear coat = a lot of money! A "cookie cutter coach", would not have as good a job as a "custom coach"! I maybe wrong, but that's the impression I get. IMHO with a low end mass produced coach, you'll get the same paint job as their high end coach, in quality....same paint shop, by the same people! CC is also the same shop, but they are allowed the time and quality of material to get it right the first time. If I'm wrong, please tell me!

You have a battery cut off (Salesman) switch next to the floor switch, is that what you want to tie into?

Kay, Post Card? Good luck with that..

With the mountain air chassis and 450, good assumption, it's a 3000 and yea, you can chip it thru Cummins to 495, but it will still be the same torque! I asked on my 425 and that's the answer I got. I did ask if they could put in a bigger engine and Allison 4000...$40K+, I said no thanks!

It was in the advertising section in back of the FMCA Magazine until about 1990 is the last time I saw it. Ask FMCA for a copy of the 1985 (to be safe), any month magazine.

R&S. I have had 17 class A's! None of them had a fuel fill in front of coach...by driver and passenger, way back on DS but never in front. I have seen a lot of Rexhall's, I guess I didn't pay attention to where does the fuel go (who looks for that?)! My last front MC carrier was built in Gary, IN. We drove up from Texas and had it installed on the front of a 1981 Apollo 31 foot gasser, then transferred it to a 1983 Apollo 33 foot. Then it went on the front of a 1987 DP Barth 34 foot Custom!

Right, we are not "OTR" trucks! LOL

Mark. The RV. Traveler said the same thing as we already knew. Motorized RV's (motor homes) are still interest deductible and TT are not. The CNBC article, is skewed news, as it always is and according to all else I have read, has no bearing off the truth...out of context.

FIVE. 35,000 miles between oil change ?

All the ones I have had, before I got all electric, where horizontal tanks!

Where are you at?

Roland. Did you by any chance air up your tires before the cold set in? I took mine to 115 all 8 of them! Bet mine will be 5 to 10 pounds less, when I check them in morning before we leave!

Last thing I read and heard from my CPA and FMCA is that RIVA was in the process of re wording RV's to fit in the same category as a Vacation or 2nd home. I'm waiting on the come, before I commit myself to write about it. Must be something to it, as it has not to my knowledge slowed down the RV Industry! So like Brett asked you...do you have a link?

Some of you, might want to look at a one bike carrier in front of your coach, especially if you have a long rear from drive axel.

I would look for a loose wire or ground between the solenoid and the starter!

Joe. Why would you want someone to listen for the fuel pump in rear of coach? This is a V10 gasser, not a DP!

Don't know how my answer got to the end of this chain... Linda replaced hers earlier this year & has the pictures to prove it.

Well, the warmer it is, the better, since any condensation, will be liquid, not frozen!

Looks more like ice, not snow, but then I'm no expert on that subject, nor do I want to be! What's you doing there...is that the induction into Sr. VP land..

It snowed in Beaumont, Texas?

Ameristar RV Park is also pull through and right on the River.
