There is more than boosting HP on a coach....first you need to call Allison Tech Department and find out if a HP increase would be compatible. Also, HP alone will not increase torque, your 8.1L and Allison 2100 is matched for your weight and tow capabilities. MPG can be tweaked by having your coach weight and proper air pressure in your tiers along with, front end alignment, camber and toe. Driving habit, gear shifting for max torque on hills also have an affect on mpg!

Year, length, engine? Would be helpful ! Welcome

The side lights are markers, you can get them at most auto part store and Wall Mart...they come in amber and red...look on other side of coach!

Jim. Your right about the dips, I hit some of them going south from Alpine...so did 3 other coaches & I swear one coach hit the break while airborne! I now know where to go 40 or less!

The frustration is not over the process...It's over the why? No real explanation has been offered as of yet....kind of like, "You will have to pass it, in order to find out what's in it"!

Joe. All next week, you need to look at that picture! Think 80 degrees, 10-15mph breeze and a cold glass of whatever!

Jim. I take it you were not in the 45mph part of the park?!

Anyone tells me "I'm a sane human". I will run, not walk, way, far away!

Gremlins! We all got them, and get them!

westfork. Welcome! Your coach owners manual will have that information. For peace of mind, plug in a work light or flood heat lamp in your water bay. I used to use the spring clip type.

Mike. At least you know how to fix it, if it happens again! I'm thinking that you re-set the computer or a fault code, when you disconnected and reconnected your panel. Whatever the reason, glad your trouble free for now! Happy trails

You both got it skewed...they are in a rented car and looking for accommodations for 10 days...Brett suggested a park with cabins or trailers for rent....Hotel, cabin. trailer. They are FMCA members!

Yes, you could have, 90 days prior to the last Committee meeting in Indy this summer ! Now, it's a tad late. Bill A. There are times that I find you offensive and if you really have a bone to chew, then re-new your membership first. Come to think of it, I have no clue why you became a member of FMCA to begin with....you have made no positive contribution that am aware off...just all negative!

Yeah. After Redmond, OR. 2014

The same goes for Texas Coastal east of Corpus Christi to Cameron, LA. Also Alabama Shore & Coastal Miss.

Brett, I think it was around 2015 that we had a long running post on the length, weight, LLC and no LLC issue. With charts & State by State laws on Interstate's!

Joe. I'm quite sure that when you was a State Trooper, you heard every excuse in the book and then some....now your the one doing it. Fine, but don't complain, when you get pulled over! Don't even try to talk your way/or tell a Texas Cop that your a retired Trooper...won't do you no good. If US President LBJ couldn't get away with speeding, you won't get away with breaking the law either! I have a lot of friends that are both working and retired cops in Texas, NM, AZ, CA, LA, and Florida...we are all Master Masons and Shriners. They have always toed the line and up held the law as written and left the interpretation to the court. Then some one like you come along and want to bend it to serve your own purpose!

Hi there and welcome. It would help to know what area of Florida you want to spend 10 days in ?

BillA. Yes it is. Do you have a P.O. Box and mail/magazine forwarding or just 1st class mail forwarding? Since you advocate digital, you can read it every month at FMCA main page!

Camarti1 & Jeff. Thank you for your insight and different approach to the problem that we currently face. Jeff, one morning you'll wake up and your the FMCA average age, are you "old"? I'm not...age wise I am, but I take no kind of RX medication, so please don't try to "pigeon hole" me! Like the average age of our members, we drive a very large and long vehicle down the road. What I'm getting at, is that in order to have this 71 year average, there has got to be members in their 70's, 80's and even 90, along with 40-60...That's why I don't buy into age being the real problem....you'll have about the same with trailers! I do agree with the idea about every member needs representation at the annual meeting...I'm a ND for a chapter, but that leaves at least half the membership. Re-doing the By-Laws and Policy & Procedure, is a daunting task that would take years. Just like the trailer vote...if it passes, it will still be years until we can implement it. I have already writhen about that. Camarti1, welcome aboard ! I like your thoughts.

I don't think it has to do with Assist or age anymore! I have the same offer thru the Lions, Elks, Masonic and Shriners International. Since I have traveled Internationally every year and now have Linda with me, each of us have a Assist policy that runs about $500 a year and a medical that's good anywhere for $1,200 a year, all outside of USA! Don't miss understand...USA Assist is a great deal for anyone, in any age group, but it has nothing to do with towables in FMCA !

Bill, the reason that I mentioned it, was because I had the same issue when I tried the Blu-Ox riser...I had one made that gave plenty of clearance from coach and it has a extension that allowed me to use the inside pin hole. Hard to explain, I'll send you a pic via Joe!

That "sneak" preview was not released by me Brett....I knew about it for several months prior to Durant, OK....since there it was released to a whole chapter, it was a secret no more!

Mike. Whatever works. How much up front for how long?

How nice! Here I was reprimanded by some of our finest, by PM, for just hinting about FMCA working on a new Verizon deal..
