I don't have cracking, just Diamond Shield. Don't ever want DS again on anything! If I ever get a new coach again, it will come without any 3M product on it, or I won't buy the coach!

Mike, under your conditions I totally understand. You also get the reflection off the pavement, while your sitting there. I have no need for Red Line or royal Purple since I only run my generator (10Kw) while driving , about 6 hours a day. I run coach between 12K to 16K a year, Rotella is fine with me! Happy New Year. Tell LSU to stop dropping the ball ! They had the game last night, but not when you give away a whole quarter! Geez..

Do You Have A Motorcycle With You While RV'ing?

Joe S. Your going to hate yourself if you don't add a small generator and a AC unit, or just the AC unit. Carl -
Tom. Bet that cost a bit...I'm going to have to have mine done before Summer, when I see you, let me know who is doing it. Don't think my insurance will pay any of that.

Brett, your right in part, but the "Modern", FJ cruiser is automatic and FWD/AWD. Even the Land Cruiser has AWD full time. My original FJ40, stick with manual lock hubs, I could tow 4 down. Same with my 1991 Land Cruiser, Auto, because it was manual lock hubs. 2001 Tundra TRD, had about 30,000 towed miles on it and it was automatic. They (Toyota) don't make the FJ anymore!

Fuel Economy-- Was This A Primary Consideration?
manholt replied to mweiner's topic in Type B Motorhomes
Mark. Welcome back and Happy New Year! MB has pulled it's Diesel engine (on any chassis, including cars) off the American market, because we use Bio in our diesel mix. MB engine's (diesel) are not built for additive's, it causes their turbo to blow! They also (read the fine print) will not honor the warranty on a diesel engine failure, that has bio in fuel. IMHO I don't agree with their decision, I feel that they should have known and adjusted for our market. I did not say that she or you would have "Cabin Fever", I said that I would have it, due to my size! Please Mark, there is nothing positive to be gained, by taking things out of context. Whatever you have, to enjoy traveling in, is a matter of personal choice...that's what is so great about America, everyone can chose how they live, when and where they want to go, no restriction, no permission from the authorities...Freedom is the reason I adopted to live here, rather than where I was born!- 43 replies

Freedom...is never free! Home away from home! -
Garryrowena. Welcome to the Forum! As Bill asked, we need to know the location?

Ray, welcome to 2018. If I could, I would....but that's up to our leader, Brett. That's Mr. Ball, not Bell.

The electric side does not heat bays and do a poor job of keeping warm air coming out of furnace, below 60. Diesel side is your main heather...your not saying how cold, for how long! Year, Make, model and size of coach would be nice to know!
-
I have mine serviced at the same time that oil change is due...once per year or 16,000 miles, which ever comes first.

FIVE. Welcome to 2018. I remember your problems, thankfully I have not had any gremlins in my Magnums, just bad batteries problems and now have AGM's again! Just does not draw enough to concern me and now I have 50A. at all of Linda and my sticks and brick's!

I put 68 gallons in my tank 10 days ago, Aqua Hot has been on 24/7 on diesel and I have driven 287 miles and now have 79 gallons left on a 150 gallon tank. Yesterday I drove 153 miles from Ranch in Texas Hill Country to the Camp in Three Rivers, Texas...since it was bellow freezing most of the way, I had generator on and floor tile heat on! I'll be on Aqua Heat for the next 72+ hours, until we go to Harlingen, Texas almost by the Mexican border! I will fill my fuel tank before I get there. Welcome to 2018.

Robert. Welcome to the Forum and 2018! To my knowledge, the modern day FJ is not towable and I have not seen one as a toad, 4 down or with a Dolly! Suggest you check with Remco.

Tom. My bright side, is that I don't remember 1949...I was not quite 6 years old !!! Rich. You need to sue Al Gore!

Linda has her own plans, between business and private, $185. She also does Facebook...a lot.

FIVE. I never turn either one of my 2 magnums off !

Super8. Welcome to 2018. Hydralift makes several different hydraulic systems for back of coach, I have a HD Trike that I took with me for a number of years and it had a hitch also, for my Jeep as a toad. If a Golf cart will fit, so will a MC with side car! My trike is 71 inches wide and 108 inches long! For Sale. -

Eddie. Welcome to 2018. My floor is tile, backsplash also. Everything else, including window sills, is Corian! Have had no problem with it, in this coach, or the previous 2. It's everything Kay say's it is! -
Welcome to 2018! I'm currently in Three Rivers, Texas and it's well below freezing...we left the Hill Country of Texas yesterday and it has been below freezing there for a week. All 4 of my slide toppers have been off for about 3 weeks now, (being replaced as soon as other parts come in and the Holidays are over), I have had less of a problem with rain, sleet and ice accumulating, without than with the toppers! There is insulation between the inside an outside of my slide roof. I found that it's also easier to remove debris, water and ice, without the toppers....maybe that's why the very high end coaches have flush slides and no Toppers? My Bay's are heated by the Aqua Hot furnace and have never been below freezing or at freezing...I have flowing water currently and it's 27!

Joe S. Happy 2018 So, how much do they require from you per month on the New plan? I have a old (7 year) plug in, that Verizon really would like back. It's 5GB per month, no throttling back, works almost anywhere. Since I don't stream anything and the 4 pdf's I get each year, is saved to file, I have no use for "The New and Improved" version at $60+!
