jbrunson. My wheels have never come off yet...49 years! Only ones I changed out was 16" and a couple of 19.5's...all the rest, since 1980's was done by a shop! Even Truck Mobil, use an Impact. Being precise is something that we tend to go overboard with, just my thought. Carl

Even better if you have the serial number off yours...can be hard to read, if it is, spray some graphite on the numbers and lay a piece of white paper over it and rub...number transfer... Wayne knows that, just forgetful at times!

Wayne. I'm happy, your happy, but I would not want us to be too happy...they might lock us both up! Carl

Jim, that's a brand that I know nothing about. I currently run Michelins, replaced them in 8/14 by Superior Tire in Oregon, no tax, got to love that ! I carry a lot more weight than you do and drive an avg of 14, 000 miles a year! Back in the 70's I used Cooper tires, and in the 80's it was 19,5" Kelly's...ever since that I've had 22.5's I have run Michelins...mostly because of availability! That all started to change in 2014 about the time I got my last set of 8...I have 315x80x22.5 on steering and 295's on rest. I probably wont have to do that again, as I'm fondly looking at Marathon and Newell. That's why you see old geezers rolling down the road in high dollar sports cars...it's a need, for one more time, then we hang up the keys! Carl

Chad. Have never heard a negative and know folks that have them. I run NITTO'S on my Jeep, Import and like them better than Baja's...2nd set. Just make sure they fit your rims and have the same carry capacity...there are some posts, under tires..2014 & 15 or you can enter Toyo under Search at top of main page. Carl

Thank you, I forgot about that, since it does not apply to my Jeep!

Don't know why I didn't notice this before, but found another GFCI today. It's right next to where the power cord plugs in to coach...it was tripped, pushed it in and now I have no blinking lights in coach again! My 50A cord comes out and retracts by an electric motor into and from a bucket, the other end is permanently plugged into the surge protector...makes it easy to replace cord, I have a new 50 foot, 50A in La., that I will put in before AZ. in Feb. The current cord is 30 foot...bucket is half full. Carl

Stenzhorn. Welcome to the forum! Catch 22 answer is that it will cost you $400 to file small claims at the clerks office, then you need to wait until your notified by the clerk as to when to be at court...don't know what your time is worth, but I would get the harness and get in touch with FMCA, they have been on top of this problem since the beginning! Carl

Carl. I don't know what a 329 code is, but I would either call Cummins or go to a Cummins, ASAP!

Hobart. Nice to get more than one feed back! I really don't remember if I got off gas or not, I do know that I kept my foot off the brake until I had control and clear vision of traffic, before heading for shoulder! Thankfully, nock on wood, I have not had one on a 22.5", all the others where on 19.5" and most on pre radial tires! Carl

Ray. Nice to hear from you! I suspect your correct... Carl C.

Joe, I had Safe-T on all my gas coaches and first DP. They all had straight front axel. It helped in stabilizing coach in cross winds and 18 wheelers. As for blow out on front? Don't know, it probably did, but have nothing to compare to! Carl

Welcome to the Forum! Make, model, year and size would help. Carl

Never had any problems with toad or tires at over 65 mph. Had a Elk member in Kingman, AZ, and he ran an avg speed of 67 mph between Anchorage, Alaska and Kingman, AZ. I'm an associate member. Think about that some. Average speed = 67 ! He has a 1993 Prevost XL and a Jeep C-7 toad.

The 75 mph ratting, makes no sense to me...truckers in TX, NM and AZ. blow past that regularly...on my trip down Hwy 118 to Lajitas, you have about 40 miles of flats to run and I was at 67 on CC. Tour Buses and 18 wheelers blew by me...speed limit is 70! Someone is blowing smoke! Carl

Possible those tires changed the dynamics and I'm guessing you have other modifications as well? Jeep Wranglers are top heavy and easy to roll, mine is the opposite. Carl

As they say. "If it works, why fix it": For you I would say, it's working great ! Carl

Rich. Good thought about GFI...thankfully mine are visible, 2 in kitchen one in bathroom. Brett. Point taken! Wayne. I would be looking at the receptacle. Everything else, besides a GFI has been covered... Carl

Lyle. I can see all my rollers, by opening up the 3 bay doors with slide out. As for the screw, still don't know where it came from, I have a 3/8" x 1" magnet, on the end of a 3 foot x 1/4" round pole, that fits under the slide floor and I use it when slide is just into level when it comes in, at that point, the rollers are just clearing the up slope and you can use a slim led light to check for obstruction around front of roller. Got both items at True Value, Home Depot does carry it, but my local one was out of stock. Less than $15 for both items! A bad roller does happen, but I have never experienced it. Carl

MONTIE. I was down there 4 weeks ago, with a chapter of Escapees...we stayed in Lajitas at Maverick RV Park, Black Jack Spa and Golf Resort...$35 per night! It is well worth the visit, especially if your in a coach over 36 foot. It's located between Big Bend National Park (best done by toad) and Big Bend State Park. Each park entrances is about 40 miles away. Since DP's are not fond of lots of dust and sand, I would stay away from Rio Grande Village...but, your choice. Each Park has a RV primitive camp ground for rigs under 36 foot. There are 2 good ways in...Hwy 385 out of Marathon, thru Big Bend National Park (45 mph limit in Park) or Hwy. 118 out off Alpine. Definitely go to Mt, Davis and there is a campground there, with full H/U. Do not attempt to take your coach West of Lajitas...very narrow, sharp curves and 15% up/down hills! The toad is good for that run, 40 miles to entry of Big Bend State Park! Carl

PEX came with the coach. Great stuff, had a bad (plastic) on/off ball valve and replaced with brass, Home Depot..they let me borrow the tool. Took 20 minutes in parking lot. My next house will have PEX. Carl

Blake. Looks like you had fun! How many Beer stops? Looking forward to see the after! Unless I got it wrong, he does not do floating floor or electrical heat under wood...I may well be wrong! Call him before you get to much input on the brain! Carl

Since most coaches have a governor set at 86mph these days (stupid), it's a mote point Bill. BillA has a coach that will do about anything you ask of it, speed wise...first thing I did, was remove the governor...darn things are dangerous ! Most speed limits now are 65 to 80 Nation Wide...if your limited to 85, you'll take a county passing someone that's going 65. Most of the time, I'm at 64, West of Kerrville, TX, to Van Horn, I'm at 73+! That is 350 miles plus of nothing...

! At least the DW knows what to do in an Emergency situation and can drive it... Carl
