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

Know one who tried that, one 135 mile round trip, 3/4 sold and a one ton bought! Carl

Jerry. Welcome! Per your original Post question (things get lost sometimes), Go ahead and remove the shroud on AC, not hard...don't fall off the roof, turn off electric to coach and check the wires up there. The ground wire should be green and will be attached to metal. Remove it, clean connector and metal, make sure you have a good connection also that all other wires are tight...while up there, you might as well look at the other AC unit...good luck! Carl

Joe. I would guess one of your girls, would need the same as yours! So, that means, you would have to be the instructor, then drive her to DMV for her test...if she passes, all the post's above, is a mote point. Bet your premiums would go up! Not to mention, your blood pressure... Carl

Jim. Happy for you! It would help us, to help others in the future, if you would post the fix! Carl

FIVE. Agree with everything in your response, with one exception. Tireman said, you must stop and think, what to do, and do it often in order to know what to do..in the event off. He made no mention of doing that, should it be the actual event. You and I have both been there...but for one who never has, you can get a pre feel for what to do, if you go thru the does in your mind often enough! Carl

Lance. Since you are in your 30's, you are toda'ys norm! When FMCA and Good Sam was formed, the age group then was in their 50's+ and that was the norm! We had mostly white collar, RV owners and the mind set that mom did not work. In your generation, high tech and .com rules and a lot more $$$ to be made at an earlier age, as long as you have the right education, than back in the 1960-1980 era! When FMCA was founded, most "RV campgrounds" were pastures...no hook ups! Like everything, it evolved over time...That is one of the main reasons that we want to expand the Constitution and By laws as written in 1971, it's too restrictive, with no wiggle room for 2016. Carl

If your DW is in toad steering, it's then a lot easier, trick we learned in the 80's, backing out of Canada to USA side, after refusing to pay $1,800+ in liquor tax that included cooking sherry! about 100yds. Carl
