  1. This is confusing...Since the OP's question and everything else had to do with window power awnings...where did sun screen come from?
  2. Joe. At 45 foot and a toad, I don't even try! Only once, I was in a RV park and needed fuel for Aqua Hot. I found a "we deliver low sulfur, no BIO fuel", 50 gal. minimum at $4.00 per gal., I took 100 gal. Now, I come in with 100+ gal, to RV parks, summer or winter.
  3. If you use a metal detector make sure it's not picking up signal from cross beams (cage of body) but actual roof only!
  4. Kay. How did you get color selection and different size awnings? Could not find that on site.
  5. Brett, your right on, my place to fill up when I take 90E/W...I-10 is faster, but BORING. Have talked to enough OTR's to learn that Company owned rigs, go to Pilot, Flying J, T/A or Love's. Privately owned, go where the cost is lowest...there is a Chevron station on Hwy 59N, just before Livingston, Tx. that has great prices, also Hwy 149 just north of Mount Belleview, Tx. By the Correction Center (Jail). Now if you see no 18 wheelers in/or around a TS, there generally is a reason...I have run across some in different parts of the country that has a lot of trucks, but non at the pumps, they are there because of the food.
  6. Byron, I would call Tiffin Tech first and ask them what they used up there, then you'll know how best to keep the black stuff from weeping. AC told me to use a floor cleaner and ruff up the surface, then rinse with plenty of water until it runs clear...let dry and use a heavy liquid wax and buff it....that's what Joe does to his roof every year. My roof is fiberglass and I suggest you make sure that yours is aluminum...I have not heard about Tiffin ever using a metal roof, especially in their entry level DP !
  7. Ruidoso Coach Ranch, on Hwy 220 half way between Alto and the Airport (Private). I spent a month there last Summer and was hoping to spend time there again this Summer, don't know if I get a chance. FMCA Commercial member and coach owner, the live in Midland, TX. during Winter. Resort is $$$, check it out on Goggle. They have 29 sites on 25 ac. Non are for sale. Only restriction is Class A's or 40 foot+ Totters ! Carl
  8. BillA. Stay away from Buckee's in Mansfield, TX. I-45N...cost me 2.499, I asked why so high, we are in Texas was the managers answer. OMG, headquarters and the founders are in and Texan...I told him that Buckee's on I-10 in Lulling is $2.199 and I would call the main office.
  9. Do you have the schematic for the new TS ? What you had is a simple system.
  10. Depends on how big your rig is and size of fuel tank. I start looking at about 650 mile mark and I always use a Truck Stop...that's on Freeway! Secondary roads are trickier, so I use the same as Brett and start looking around 450 miles! I got a 150 gallon tank. Carl
  11. I like the ride of my Spartan K2 a lot better than FL or Powerglide!
  12. Bill. That stuff is on my roof...Per American Coach, you need to wax it once a year and that will make it shine. If you don't wax it, it will do like mine is doing, weeping white rivers down the side off coach each time it rains or heavy fog. Send me a PM for more info! Carl
  13. We called them Eyebrows ! Mine was a 67' Winnebago, I bought it new at the LA, CA. Auto show for $8,300 ! All I remember is that it was a rear bath, 2 narrow bunk beds, booth Dinette that made into a small bed, a barrel chair and a bed that came down from the celling in front !

    RSBill. I was at Hermans rig in Chandler, he showed me your great location, less trailer! Told me the story, I too wanted to get together more with you at Verdi, just ran out of time. Linda and I plan on being at the next Diesel Club Rally. And Indy for a few days...we fly out to Norway the 14th so will have to leave Indy the 13th! Carl
  15. Let's get back to keeping things here that is off subject. It makes the moderator so much happier! Carl
  16. Kay. Yes, back then, there was still more 30/15 in RV parks, than 50/30/15A.
  17. DD69. Did not know what coach I was looking at, but it looks good and I really like the colors! We did have some strange named coaches back then! I don't remember a Lifetime, was that the Manufacturer or model? I love it when I see some older rigs still rolling along. Carl
  18. Glad to hear that your DW also knows how to drive rig...that's a big + !
  19. Byron. I had a 1997 Allegro, gasser with 2 AC's , 30A and a Onan 4.0, just depends on how the coach is wired. I turned off A/C's to run microwave/ convection, same when I was on heat pump! Carl
  20. John, he has not come back with the other test results yet.
  21. Byron. If I read his March 23rd post correctly, they are going to Idaho for the warm months (good for them, a beautiful state) and Pahrump for Winter! Jumper. Sounds like a good plan to me, and welcome to the Family Motor Coach Association! What's the DOT year of your tires ? Also suggest you get some covers for them to protect against UV while parked for more than a couple of days! Good luck Carl
  22. Your Eaglet is not on a K3 chassis?
