  1. I got mine from NAPA, used to be Western Auto. My 2, 12V engine batteries are also AGM, got them from Interstate. Carl
  2. BillA. Making my 2 coats of clear shine! When you get your new paint job done...you can make it shine! Carl
  3. Wayne. That is very good advise! Takes most of the math out of the equation.. Carl
  4. Lucas Slick Mist...spray & wipe with microfiber cloth...I wash my coach with soap and water, once a year and use Lucas once a week, or when the mood strike, it's $7.98 a spray bottle at Wally World...I use a bottle, in 3 full coach applications! Carl
  5. I only use it when on Park power...I figured this morning, I was real close to using my diesel Aqua Hot. Needed it twice this August, in Ruidoso, NM. 29 and 31. Carl
  6. I have the same problem on my curb slide and do like FIVE...hot summer and cold/cool winter! Right now I have a sock in there! Carl
  7. Jim. I know that feeling real well ..
  8. OK. Now 34 degrees outside and 72 inside! Since the sun is coming up, it may drop to 33, but not for long enough to make a difference. Humidity is 91% and pressure is falling. Carl
  9. All those "cutesy" signs, came about in the 1980's because there was not many toads and at each FMCA and GS Convention, Vendors was making and selling them. By the mid 90's there was less need for the sign, almost every coach out there was hauling a toad...now, I very seldom see one with anything mounted on toad. Carl
  10. WBill. I'm confused and don't get it? Carl
  11. Always wonder how low it will go, before it blows cold air, instead of hot. It's now 36 outside and I'm still nice and warm... Carl
  12. Sorry, did not think about water in fuel, been a diesel it would have been my first thought...my bad! I put in too much Sta-Bil in my Harley tank once and it did about the same, would not idle long enough to put in gear...drained tank, put a gallon in, ran engine and filled up from same pump, my fuel pump, 500 gal. Bike ran fine...? Carl
  13. My 07 Winnebago had that same problem and I had it replaced at Lazy Days in FL. The whole back is plastic, we replaced it with a metal one, it was the only odd gauge in my dash, but it worked for the next 4 years that I had the coach! After market and don't remember by who. Rich, that would work. Carl
  14. WBill. Your 5.9, 300 is more than adequate for the weight your pushing down the road. You and jbrunson are not trying to move all the extra, useless bling , down the hwy. Tile floor, Corian on every thing that don't have wood, dish washer and stacked washer dryer. Then there is 2, 12V batteries and 8, 6V...all that, requires a bigger engine and that requires a heavier chassis! 64 mph in 5th. Bill, if I tried that, I'd be lucky to see the up side of 4 mpg. Your Allison is geared for a 300hp, mine for 425hp and FIVE's Eagle for a 500hp. My biggest problem is a long hill with a lot of traffic, like Northern Calif. and OR. on I-5...in 14, I was less than 250 miles South of Seven Feathers Casino and it took me 7 hours to get there!

    Marvin. Their OK as long as it has the load rating that you need for your axels, fit your rims and don't rub together on you dual application. Carl
  16. 2 large bottles of Sta-Bil? Did you run it thru the system after adding or just dump in tank while filling up or after fill up? A little goes a long way...I think you got too much! When I put my coach up for over a month, I fill it up at a Truck Stop, 22 miles from garage and add a regular bottle of Sta-Bil for diesel, my tank is 150 gal. The longest it's been sitting was 94 days...started up and drove me from Galveston, TX. to Marianna, FL. Where I took on 110+ gal. No problem. Carl
  17. FIVE. What length is your Eagle? No Tag? Carl
  18. Bill. The lowest mpg avg. I had was making an emergency run from Dalhart, TX. to the Children's Shrine Burn Hosp. in Galveston, TX. DPS in front and back. 70 mph avg, 2 drivers, in a 2011 Allegro Bus, 450 Cummins, no toad...6.2 mpg! My normal was 6.8 at 63 on CC. Currently, I get 6.4 at 65 on CC. I get 6.4 at 68 on CC....I tried last year, a tank at 60 mph on CC, spent more time in 5th gear than 6th and got 5.6 mpg! I'm happy at 6.4. Carl
  19. OK, so you got an ISL 2007...tells me nothing. Make, Model of coach and HP of engine would help!
  20. Thanks...I have a vivid imagination in color! Just the thing I needed this am... Wayne. Last time I changed all 8 tires in 14, I walked around and they used a torque wrench, took longer and about an hour of labor, but I felt real good when I rolled out ! I will definitely go all the way to OR. again and use Superior Tire. Carl
  21. As the MCI link said, this is the way to do it...unfortunately, that's not what's going to happen 90% of the time! Carl
  22. Great. Good to know...I'm sure someone will be looking around the Forum, looking to improve their rate of climb in a gas engine & $500 is a lot cheaper than Banks! Thanks for posting. Carl

    Brett, I suspect some (2) go back to 01...scary! Dry rot, is way beyond cracks in side wall. Carl
