Tmahana. Welcome to the Forum! Since you live in Arizona, you might want to compare the distance to the nearest Factory Service Centers. REV Group is in Indiana, Texas and Oregon! Tiffin is in Alabama! I have had several coaches by both Tiffin and Fleetwood/Allied/REV Group (REV is a division of Allied), IMHO Tiffin was great up to 2010. I had a 2011 Allegro Bus, POS and traded it in on my current coach...listed under my signature. Would I get another FW or Tiffin? No. My next coach will be a Newmar or Foretravel . They both make a 40 foot with tag axel...I and my SO love the Tag! She has a 40 foot Phaeton 2006, but she want's my tag on a 40. Happy SO, happy travels! Clay. Agree with you on all your points, except one. Power Gear by Lipper Industries is the pits (I have both air and Jacks)! Hard to get any customer service and a pain to work on!

Since we, unlike OTR's, buy tires long before we wear out the treads, that's not part of our equation! However the rest is.

I brought this Post back to life, as a reminder of the FMCA Future! YOU HAVE 3 more day's TO SEND IN YOUR VOTE ! If you have been dragging your feet, now is the time to send in your BALLOT with your VOTE !!!! Carl

Thanks for the update and problem solved. I would be keeping a visual check on the batteries!

That's probably what Blacke uses!

If it's a gas cap. Turn off engine, remove cap then put cap back on and make sure its tight (I have had to do that a couple of times to re set code on a Ford truck). If that don't do it, take it to Ford Truck Dealer!

Hello Chris, long time since last. Do they recognize FMCA or does one need to spell it out, when making contact? Thanks for all the help in the past ! Carl

Herman. "Old school" still work! Jim. LOL

Just read this whole post from 2011...YES ! I really think a National Fishing Lic. would be great and I like the idea about having a home license along with State Stamps!!!

Wayne. Have you weight your "New to you" coach yet?

I suppose that also means we should wash all the road toxins off our tires before putting the covers on? I have not covered my tires in the past 39 months, since I had them put on in OR.! I guess that I'll take some pictures off each tire 39 months from now!

Jim. Yeah, like we helped the Longhorns, when we got to La Grange, back in the 60's! Sorry, picture just came to mind...Pre Marvin Zindler, Channel 13 News! The Best little house in Texas! Mike. I do mine, Jacks or Air, manually! Reason is that I want interior of coach level. When my jacks work, I just use them for stability. Love your youngest son!

As Kay suggested...awning in a bag! Only thing I could find. I suppose you could have one made in the length and width you want...problem I see is stability in wind/rain. You would need a frame and upright's...I think?

Wayne. Not the Natives! Do I enjoy what? Being over 65...YES. Even with the break down of the parts. Fishing? On occasion, for trout, in CO. & ID with super light tackle, that's fun! Used to fish a lot off shore, TX. and South East Coast FL.

Is this the second part of the radiator problem you have from mid November ? Confused...

This post is November 13, you have another recent post about the height, weight of your coach, so that you can have it towed 1,000 miles to your garage! Are you broke down again, or is this an ongoing problem? I'm very confused...

michaeljwest. Welcome! Big part or little? Can't tell by picture. Why must it be done at your house? Where ever that is...

LOL...Love the two rats! Your not saying anything new....we have all been down the " we are the Government and we will do what's best for you" path! I have heard that there is another EPA mandate that comes in 2020 and another in 2024!

Call Monaco via REV Group, get Tech department...they can give you all the answers you need. Before you have it towed, I would fly or drive to the coach. What is the reason for the breakdown? If its engine call Cummins when you get there...Tranny? Call Allison! They have Mobil Repair Service and can at least tell you what your problem is...also, they would know who has the correct equipment and know how to tow it.

Kay, Brett, Tireman. How do we know that a tire cover really extends the sidewall life and integrity of the tires? Is there a graph or any form of proof other than "I'm a expert and I say so"? I keep forgetting to put my covers on...my tires, since I bought them are 39 months old and per DOT 41 months old. When I bought my brand new, off the shelf, 2011 Allegro Bus with 744 miles on it...I did not think to even wonder about the DOT (don't think anyone else does), later on (after a DS blow out), I found out, they where June 2009, chassis was 2/2010 ! Since then, I found that to be the average on a new coach. Exception would be a Newell since they build their own chassis in several lengths from the ground up, per order! As to age of tires, flip a coin! I like many others here, get new tires around 6+ years. Peace of mind for me. I give the old ones to a friend, who puts them on trailers and most are still rolling, some since 2002! I have never seen 18 wheeler+ or Horse trailers with tire covers on! You would not want your race horses or Clydesdales, splattered on the Interstate! Since this has to do with tires, please no more comparison with Gelcoat, Fiberglass or roofing material.

The toilet rinser has a combo washer/metal screen, just like your faucet. If it's whole house, then look at pump filter. If no pressure when hooked up to city water, I suspect your ball valve is broke or you forgot to turn it on! Have done that.

Richard. PPL, Home Depot, Low's, ebay, all sell 10x10 or 12x12 foot folding patios, fit in a bag when not in use. Lot easier and cost effective than a awning in a bag!

Roland, 4 foot jump on me, he would miss by about 6 inches! Punxsy, give him twice the love...you both need it now! Joe, Linda (my SO) suggests wasp spray & a swift kick...use your imagination! Have never had a problem in any of the 48 states with a gun in my coach. Have no tickets, been thru countless tire checks, mirror under coach and dog checks inside and out! When their dog inside, I was asked to remove my dog first...no problems, never any question about "do you have a rifle or pistol"! Someone is Paranoid!

Wayne. You now, have peace...UUUUMMMM! Jim. I'm with you and waiting on a answer, that I don't think we will ever get, or at least a definitive test result...other than, the PC version!

Medicare (not the way it used to be, before BO) and supplemental. I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Medicare is not free and neither is the later...$763 a month for both, I get $778 a month from Social Security...so, it's a wash! Thank You, BO! Thanks, Congress!
