Dripping wet and a floor fan will cool you down in a hurry also, and you don't have to take a cold shower! When it's hot here in the South, I turn my AC (all 3) on early in am and keep them on while driving, also lover my night shades thru out coach...with kids, you can forget that part!

Wow, very interesting result. Cools down quickly.

By the way, I'm a Tiger fanatic also! Carl

Mike, Kind off a big stretch between a College Ball Game and a FMCA Rally! FMCA or GS has got to cater to a across the board diversified membership! Your a Cajun and I presume you Graduated from LSU...There are 49 other States out there and they all feel the same about their University's! This is FMCA, we have Regions and Chapters, we are a Motor Home Club, not a Sports club! We try hard to not cater to any age group in regards to Music or Entertainment . Quilting, Crafts and Ice Cream Socials? Yes. We got that ! Sorry, but we don't have and hope we never will have, the sharing of specialized Alcoholic Drinks....not a good example for children! Carl

Herman. About time you showed up! Linda has all my stuff and info...I get it back Tuesday! See you Wed.?

If your ambulatory and don't mind a up to 5 minuet walk, then NO! I'm not, so I will ! Goggle 4 Flags RV Park, Texarkana, It's off Exit 2 on I-30, in AK. Carl

What we desperately need in Texas is Expert Mobil RV service...Linda had one come to her house and did what Cummins and Freightliner gave her an estimate of $1,250 + Tax, for less than $650, she got her own Air dryer canister and replaced it herself from NAPA for $178. Last week she got 2 starter AGM's and 4 house AGM's, She had new Acid's installed in Sept. 16'...they now live in a golf cart and a 50hp tractor! Joe you should Goggle a cross section of RV park's... Same wit house cost

Joe. Have not stayed there! Don't do $100 per day, anywhere! Sanibel/Captiva is a must see and experience that all the women in your life will enjoy,,,also, some really good food. Get a day parking pass...it will save you a lot of $$$ ! Parking tickets are expensive! Leave Alli the Gator alone in the Campground !

CarlAda. Are you running 295's for all 8? When I got mine in August 2014, I used Superior Tire Service in Eugene, OR. 541-744-2000 have you tried them? I replaced my steer tires with XZA2, 315/80R and 6, 295/80R. Took them 2 days to find the 295's ! I will use them again! Carl

Look no further than Herman...send him a PM. I have the schedule but it's currently with my girl friend. Just click on his picture and click on message...It's very private, nobody but him and you!

fagnaml. Annual? For air drier replacement. You should not have to replace it. I have mine looked at every 2 years, had the filter replaced in November 2015. On my coach it back blows by itself, gets rid of any moisture. Yours may be different. 2 other DP's I had, I had to open the air manually every time I left a campground...lots of times I would leave and go find a place to pull over and do it. Nobody likes to hear that noise at 7 am! My Significant Other replaced hers 3 weeks ago, got it from NAPA $178. She has a 2006 Tiffin with a CAT 380. Yeah, she likes to drive her own and follow me...Chandler, AZ was a 4,000 + mile R/T...If you really want to know all about your DP, Join Diesel Club Chapter, we only meet 2x a year, but have our own forum and very informative newsletter. Also a lot of discounts on diesel products from DD, Cummins and CAT. Carl

Roland. Did you get Progressive via USAA ?

fagnaml. Herman did not mention it, so I will...FMCA Six State Rally starts October 24th and I'm the golf captain and we will be T-ing off at 9 am the 24th at a very nice Resort in Texarkana. As the ND for Swinging Golfers Chapter, I will guarantee you will enjoy yourself ! No, I'm not anywhere near your age, and I don't have a 6 handicap anymore but I do know what I need to know to throw a tournament. I'm also probably, one of the few 74 year olds in FMCA that have taken 90% of the 4x4 trails in the San Juan Mountains of CO. over the past 5 years. Since I have young and older than me friends on and off Forum. I'm listening and trying to understand what we need to build membership and satisfy the younger generations. Carl

Not a social media site! Business and Corporations from all over the globe...I'm on it as an owner! Not a place to leave or garner info of a non profit club!

Crab season open up there now? Here I thought we where the only ones with big, juicy blue crabs, with some of that "Slap yo Momma" on it. Beat's the H out off old bay!

Barkley, your not the first to notice that....something has changed in the last year or 18 months! No answer from FMCA.

Welcome to the forum! You don't say where your at. I would call and make an appointment with a Cummins Service center. They can take a sample of your oil and Transmission fluid and send it in to a lab that will tell how healthy your system is, at the same time let them check out all belts and hoses, change oil and filter, fuel filter, fuel/water separator filter, lube chassis and make sure they lube the u joint on drive shaft until it is visible, then wipe off excess. Check screen on Allison and check coolant to see if it needs changing (probably not). Have them look at air dryer filter and replace if necessary. Look at the DOT # on your tires, 4 digits=week and year of manufacturing, if over 7 years, get new tires! If 5 or 6 years old check for hairline cracks in sidewall, also an indicator that you need to replace. Have you looked at the roof? If not, do so and look at all that is up there, if you see any caulking that is dry and cracking then scrape it away and get some Dicor and re caulk. Check for pin holes and fill with caulk. The last thing you want is water in your sides or under roof, that can get real expensive quickly! Other than that, go have fun and remember that a diesel don't like sitting around, so if you cant use it or are camped for 3 or more weeks, disconnect and drive it for 25+ miles to get the fluids moving around ! Since it has not been used much. Fill the fresh water tank 1/4 full, then add a gallon of Hydrogen Peroxide 3% ($4 at Wall Mart). Let sit 10 minutes, then open all faucets and run the mix thru. Close faucets and let sit 10 minutes...meantime fill water tank full, then open all faucets again and run for 10 minuets. I do that twice a year and have no problems! Since my park water hose is on a reel, I draw out about half the hose and pour a quart of HP3% in 4x a year, connect to faucet and send enough water in to get outside shower to work, shut off and let sit about 15 minutes, then I disconnect add my filter and reconnect. I hate using bleach, it's a waste of good water!

FIVE. I know, and that is the reason I went with my card game buddy, he is a Progressive owner/agent and so is his daughter. My bill was cut by $1,880 ! Bill told me, there is a 23% kick back to USAA. The USAA of 55 years ago, 25 years ago, is no comparison for USAA today! Today they will take any rank from E-1 up! Used to be an officer! Times have changed and we don't have the draft no more!

The fuel tank and on some units, tanks are located by the step for entry into cab! Carl

The other issue that comes up, you can only use it when camped and on 50A. I doubt that you have a 10KW Generator! Like I said $$$$

Herman, my bad. It's a recirculating cool bladeless Fan!

Joe. All Renegades are Class C...some 45 foot !

Dyson has a portable ac unit that will do about 300 cu. feet, multi speed and quiet, I think it's around $450+/- No venting required.

Joe, we are not suppose to pound the pavement for "old folks", remember! Just young ones, and their not Snowbirds....something is terribly wrong here!!!

Kay and Bill. X2.
