Ask the Dealer and look in the owners manual.

Don't bet on it...the Green Huggers are coming after anything that they don't have or need. Who thought that a new mandate for DEF would come out 7 years after introduction? I didn't know, Joe had no idea! What's next? It's in the books, 26% more reduction by 2027, they just moved it up by six years after meeting by RV and trucking Industry with the Government 2 weeks ago, who wanted it by 2021...Oh, I forgot Government and Trains are all exempt.

While your at it why don't you read my second reply to Phil. Apparently you missed it because I didn't put the "c" in Phil's name..

Wayne. He might have already found "Dead End" and is now on the way back to Looney Toon RV park!

It's not the sustained winds that bother me, I can adjust for that. It's the gusts and if your in a dusty area, like anything West off Ozona, TX on I-10. Poor visibility. Anything over 40mph wind and am off and sheltered...Don't want to replace windshield and windows, or a new paint job! Carl

Tiffinallegro1. Welcome to the Forum and a Big welcome to our Family! Wish you well in your new mode of travel...happy trails. Carl

I'm going to re locate my engine batteries to a more accessible location. Mine are on a slide tray, above the Jack hydraulic lines and reservoir. I have to remove the bay door to get to them, also the tray is right above the turbo...what idiot comes up with this? I have plenty of room for a 2 battery self in the house battery bay, still be able to get to both inverters! So, I will go to TCC before (I hope) Texarkana the 17th! Brett. Your right. Problem is, we get no feedback from Sharon, OP, but every 2 weeks or so, but no comment from her on questions! Frustrating!

John. I also carry a level. I just like to have my stove top level...Since I'm all electric, I don't worry about the fridge, but I cook a lot when I'm camped for a week + ! I have yet to be in a coach, that everything built inside is level to the floor! Also, a level is only as good as how often it's calibrated...I do all of mine once a year, 4 at my house and 2 in coach.

Phil. With AC 13' 1". I get a warm feeling at 14' 6"...there is a parkway (Toll) in Oklahoma that has 13' 6"....never been on it. Have seen what happens after a paving job on a underpass that was 14'+ and a 18 wheeler got high centered. By the way, this conversation is on another Post, think it was in 2015. Carl

I have passport on my iPhone 6, AT&T $30 for a month of unlimited talking & texting to any other iPhone user in Europe..I'm there twice a year now and 99% of the folks I speak with have iPhone 6 or 7! My normal bill is $102 a month...with Passport, it's $143, Throw away phone with 400 min=$85, I still get billed $102 when my iPhone is home. No brainer! Herman is right. Cost me nothing in Mexico or Canada...I just use 611 to let them know. One time I forgot, $389 because I also forgot to turn off my smart phone on ship!

Roland. High end coaches generally, not all, have air/jack or air only leveling. When you dump the air, the RG will either fold in or out...murphy's law will also keep it straight and it's not designed to bear 28 to 35 tons of weight, so by mounting it high, less likelihood of destroying the RG. Most RG's that I see, has the name of the Manufacturer on it and I think that is it's true purpose! 40+ years ago, I had a RG installed that looked like a long haired broom, that hung from the bumper to the ground, also did not work...gone after a month! Just mud flaps behind drive wheels worked better ! I'm having mine removed before I go to Texarkana next month...we'll see what happens to jeep and rear of coach! Carl

Sharon. Due to the placement of your batteries to begin with, how often do you remove the caps, all caps, to look at the water level? By keeping them at the right level with distilled water, I don't understand how a Temp. Module is going to help? Carl

You got a deal. Joe, kept me up to date on his NO, LA. trip last year...along with photos & you do have a very nice MCI. What's the torque and gearing on that DD? Carl

What size tires? on what make of coach? Hard to believe that a tire dealer would have 2008 and 2013 new tires in his inventory to begin with! As for 2016, what is the DOT number? Carl

Don't think we'll find out ! Can't blame him, I would not fess up! Been there and have the photos!

Wayne. Wall Mart was full of OTR's and that's the only big lot in Deming, other than dirt RV parks. Herman. When I'm parked on air only, I feel very little rocking...maybe the 57, 000 pounds have something to do with that? I level the same as you, only I don't use a door, since I don't have one, if I'm camped for more than 2 night's, I use a cracked egg in my frying pan...if it stay's in center, I'm level as far as I'm concerned! Then I fry the egg and eat it.

Philc. Just out of curiosity, what do you suppose would happen if I, or any other full size Class A, traveled where there is less than 13 foot 6 inch clearance?

Yes, yes and yes! Unless it's in the garage or enclosed trailer, this is still a question to ponder! I think Herman is on to something, NASA !

Bill, wish it was that simple. We are the Government and we are here to help you stay Green! The bad news, is that the EPA is going to come after pre 2007 engines eventually...

Rick, Herman, Kay. Total agreement on all points! Rick. It's called a smart wheel, I got it on my Spartan! Suspect Herman has it also. Kay's coach is a different animal !

He's lost or they did a lousy job on his driveway! OMG...

Roland. If you look at Prevost and Newell, you'll only see a stiff mud flap, between the drive wheels and tag. We had a very long Post on this same issue a couple of years ago! On top of main page there is a box for Search, enter rock guard and you'll find it. I towed my first toad in 1985, behind a 1981 Apollo 31 foot gasser, no RG and no damage. Then a 1987 Barth 34' DP, no RG, no damage. Currently, I have a RG and need to replace windshield on Jeep...I think it was the luck off the draw, never had it happen before and this is my 9th toad ! Does a RG help to keep rear or side radiator cooler in summer, due to turbulence? The Vote is still out on that too! My feeling is that if 2+ million dollar coaches don't have it, I don't need it. Carl

Had the same conditions in Deming, NM about 5 weeks ago and in a RV park, I had no choice about where or how to park. I took the wind on passenger side, with my slides (4) out and on air leveling only. It works like a floating foundation of a house, coach moves with the gust's, no fear of tipping over. I have jacks also, but never use them! Carl

krzaugg. Welcome to the Forum! I have heard of Duncan. This contraption seams like a take on the old A frame hitch, it fits over a ball hitch attached to the motor home receiver. It's safe, as long as it has a locking mechanism to prevent it from jumping off ball. This unit is sold by Roadmaster from 1982 to present. It was originally designed and made by Lee Duncan of Eugene, OR. You will also need an auxiliary brake system for Jeep, I use the M&G on my Jeep, but Air Force 1 is also a good plug in system. Carl

Welcome to FMCA! Nice looking rig you got. Carl
