Understandable! I took a 27 month gig for a friend from Norway, promoting his business with the contacts that I had. Did not hurt, he paid an obscene amount and expenses. Was very surprised that he agreed.

How long does it take to make square tires? Would you not notice that you have a bad problem going down the road?

Joe. On a coach the DEF tank is normally 13 or 15 gallons. Mine was 13, but you could only get 9 in as the cap was bellow the top! How big is it in your trucks? I don't have it on my current rig...my windshield washer fluid tank will hold a gallon! Do your drivers really think they need a 4+ year supply?

I'm Jealous. Wish I and Linda could disappear for a 8 month period. Being 2nd VP for Lone Star, Golf Captain for FMCA Six State and ND, it's not to be for 3 more years! There was a period of time, when there was 144 countries in this world and I have been to all of them...I want to take Linda to the best parts, that we are still allowed to go too. Then there is the ones that was closed at that time...Iron curtain countries! There is a train, that has compartments like the old Orient Express, that run from Helsinki, Finland thru all 11 time zones of USSR. In spurts of 4 weeks we can do those things. Just not 8 months!

Rick. Fantastic job! One question. Who keeps your underside spotless, or do you just keep the coach in the garage? LOL Today is little Christmas, since it is now after midnight in Bethlehem...

Joe. Washer fluid in DEF tank? Oh, if they only came with a brain! Jim S. Your right, very confusing post.

My bad...Christmas rush and feeble mind, got me! I know, I'm leaving myself wide open!

Ray. Don't push it to fast, I would not want to be North of Roanoke Rapids, NC right now! We just had another nasty storm in Amarillo, Dallas and all of Oklahoma and Arkansas yesterday...heading your way! Please be careful. Merry Christmas

Wayne, Herman. I agree...we don't know what the times are like for the owner. Between business tax, personal tax, new long term investment tax and OBama Care penalties! I would not be insulted, just laugh and say kidding and order!

Square? Last time I had one, was pre Radial & Steel Belted. Yea, DOT Number and how long have you had them, also I think it's 22.5 tires, not 22. What brand are they?

Even when I had the Allegro Bus, I never used the DEF pump at the Truck Stop's. So my question is: Is there a preset limit on how many gallons you can get from a DEF dispenser, before it shut's off? $200 of DEF= 60 plus gallons!

Joe S. I understand....Have no friends that smoke left handed and only one that has his own coach, W. Nelson! I have been blessed by professionals!

I was not aware of any CAT engine requiring the 2010 mandate of DEF in a coach? Thought they stopped making rec engines before 2010.

Your not the first, nor will you be the last, to post on a old thread.

BillA, truth in advertising is a slippery slope, and Verizon knows that ! I just re read all 6 pages of this Post and it's, to me, Catch 22...our members are stuck in the middle! Maybe they will get it all straighten out next year!

I'm with you on that one Wayne. Heard of and read about it. Guess it depends on where you camp, Wall Mart or $50 Resorts! If I went to FamCamp by invite, all guns would be at home, I would probably only have a sling shot and a bag of 3/8" SS balls and a couple of rocks...can't throw a knife! The "Dog Story", re read it and I guess I did not go into enough detail. It happened and has happened since, at Border Patrol Check Point's run by Customs officials...they ask if I have a dog, then ask me if I would please remove it and then they enter with a drug dog! Last time (I don't have a dog anymore, yet) they went in with 2 dogs, one for drugs, one for bomb. I have never denied them access and if ever a LEO K-9 want's to, I would not deny them either! Every time I take the Bolivar Ferry, I get the mirror thing! It's what it is today! Thank you 9/11/01 & El Chapo! As for Linda and Wasp Spray, she also has a carry permit and her weapon of choice is a .38 S&W and a 2 shot .25, very proficient with both and where she carries them, I have no clue!

Rick. Great work and the drawing makes it easy to visualize! A separate 20A fuse is a good solution to Herman's statement! The biggest plus for you, is that when your finished with this "Project", you will know every square inch of you coach! Hope your taking lots of pictures for any future problems you might encounter under and over chassis. Joe. Scroll up and you will come to Rick's post, where he say's that "unfortunately, schematics of wiring runs are not available from Newmar or Spartan"! That was yesterday at 3:30.

Until now, I was seriously considering buying a new Newmar. However if I can't obtain the proper schematics for electric and plumbing from Newmar?! I'll have to re think this, and it's 3+ month's to Perry, GA. Rally! You said Customer Service. Did you speak with a Tech? Can you run the wire, between the chassis outside and frame in a conduit?

Joe. Never mind Webster. Within the RV Industry, right or wrong, Fifth wheel = a self contained, live in trailer, with tires, that is attached in the bed of a truck! Not to be confused with the OTR 18 wheel Industry! By this time, we all know, your not a, happy FMCA camper! We are a Democracy and go by the majority. I accept that and now we have to accommodate the change, as best as we can, without being nit picky. Rich is right. Jolly Christmas season to all...

Carl. Best wishes with your new or new to you, Jeep Wrangler.

The folks that I know in Fifths, is more a convenience. Yes, they can get any coach the want, but they are Ranchers and have no shortage of true 1 ton+ trucks! Joe, several Fifths come in 5+ slides also very long full wall slides and 2 regular slides in bedroom, I have also seen the normal bed room as a media room and bed room in rear! Not for me, but I can't knock it.

Brett. I read it twice and came to the conclusion that it was $750K each...however there is a caveat. RVIA is going to hash out the wording in 2018 and that is after the POTUS signs it as written! I would think that any change would have to be made as a amendment...that would require an other vote by the House and Senate? Wonder then what other amendment will be attached for vote. This whole thing smells like HIPPA! We never could get an amendment passed to exclude Private Non Profit Hospitals!

Rich, a few? My family in Norway are getting ready for bed now....the 8 year old get's up early, 5am and daylight comes at 10am!

A lot of Fifth's have the HWH system today, my friends that have trailers are hooked up as fast as me! A Jayco Eagle 37 Fifth has half again as much living space as I do, with 4 slideouts!

I'll just Ditto the above!
