Chandler is still up in the air...I'll be with the Diesel Club pre rally, Feb, 26-March 3.

Bob. welcome. Put the money in a savings account or buy short term Bonds. Enjoy your coach and pay as you go! You'll save $$$ in the long run. Carl

Also, winter time Snow Birds...Lousy drivers, how they get RV's down there and back is a wonder! Then you throw the Puerto Rican American and the Haitians into the mix...man, your going to love it..

Sounds like you got a bad starter switch. Did you change out the house batteries yourself, 2 weeks ago? The reason I ask, is that you might not have hooked up some of the wires in correct sequence. It just takes one! I had all 8 of mine replaced last September and the person who did it, took several pictures as he was disconnecting the batteries. The other question. Did you replace the old batteries with the same kind? Acid to Acid or AGM to AGM. Gonzales is not the sleepy, laid back town today as it was in the 70's and early 80', when I rolled thru, not in a RV, but a 4x4 truck. Carl

With a couple of exceptions, it looks like my Vitamin Pill description! Nice report card, too bad you dumped it... Carl

Hi Steve. Butler has an excellent Blog on this subject, that will answer all your questions...just click on Blogs. 2015 or 16. Carl

Jim. Good question! That would be a bummer! Carl

Ray. Just read this trip from beginning. Your on quite a trip! Happy belated 2017. Don't know where your at now, but there is a Cummins Coach Care in Houston, TX. take Loop 610N from I-10W to exit 23A and it will be on right side about a mile from Exit. Phone number 1-713-679-7722 direct to Service Dept. I left there yesterday. The other one in San Antonio is also a good shop. Wayne, Hi. Your being home is like me! I have given up with the idea of telling some one to stop by...are you going to AZ? I'm on the road now for 2 Rally's this month and one next month in Texas, then will be leaving the State the 23rd. got the Diesel Club Pre rally the 26th first. Carl

Keon. Hate to burst your bubble, but you will run into the same thing in Florida! Every State has a DOT and they randomly will pull over all Commercial and non Commercial vehicles. It's not just weight that their looking for! Try thinking, illegal goods, people smuggling, bald tires, EPA violations, etc. I don't look at it as entrapment, unless you got something to hide! Your coming across as a little Paranoid on this subject. Herman...Lol Carl

Too True!

I carry 150 gallons...no I have never even thought about using any fuel out off the 10...300 gallon bladders at the ranch! I don't have STUPID on my forehead.

A gallon? I would think the fumes alone would burn the airways! I think the most I have ever used is a cup for a house drain and then used a plunger! Breathing mask, safety glasses and rubber gloves is a must have!

I don't want to go 6' under!

Joe. Unless he is blessed with 3 women, like you! Anything that wants to slither or crawl up there, don't stand a chance! Non the less, good info! Carl

Keon. How did the Jeep Wrangler get into this link. I see no mention of it? Brenda. Get a battery disconnect switch or remove the ground when towing. Carl

As Bill said...cheaper! No brainer, he knew. As for DOT, I have been in their "Spot Check" line for tires, several times on I-10 in Texas....glad they do it. If they wanted to check my diesel, have at it. I'm only surprised it never happened to me, when it was $4.85 a gallon or more! Kay. Carl

When I had my dog, 15 years, I always took her in toad with me. I golf a lot and found out that most golf courses don't mind if your pet rides in the cart and is well trained...also pick up the #2 if it happens...I was turned down twice and didn't play those days. Lucky could not go on a cruise with me, but she went every where else...she had 289,000 air miles when she passed, R.I.P. I would not leave a child in a RV, why leave a pet? Carl

Vizio is the biggest bang for the buck. Got 3 at home, Christmas present to myself, the living room one is a 70" and I love it. They replaced 3 B&O's, that will be installed in a coach. If you don't have any obstructions in the celling, you could get a celling mounted TV, electric motor driven up/down! Good Luck Carl

Nice looking rig. Ian, they are Escapees, Livingston, Texas. I suspect that toad is now also registered in Texas...then again, I don't know Canadian Laws! Carl

If you are shorter than 6 foot 4 inches tall, I would get a Foretravel! It's in your size range and wallet. I would have had one a long time ago, had it not been for the interior height restriction! I was over 6' 9" then, still 6' 7+" now! Carl

Only time, I have had an 8, was a dead cell and battery was toast...stand corrected, it was 8.7, but still toast. Even if it reads 13.3 inside you need to check the battery with a voltmeter and look at each cell for fluid level, if you have acid batteries. Carl

Flush out the Drano from your system and holding tank ASAP! Then do as Bill suggests. Carl

Sorry about your loss! Thanks for the info. it's a reminder to all of us! Carl

To cold up there...try Texas. Carl
