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

Jim. I had a similar problem...find the outside bay that has the motor, it will have a 3" round shaft on each end of motor, the arms for the slide are square and both motor shaft and arm will have a 1/4" x 2" bolt holding them together...one of my bolts had snapped in half and prevented one end of slide from coming all the way in=5" on mine ! Took 2 people outside and me working the switch inside to get it back in and locked. Carl

Joe. FIVE would have a 2013 engine, since he has a 2014 Eagle. Could be a 12 or 14, but I doubt that. Carl

Byron. On some of these post's things have a tendency to sometimes get lost...even people! Carl

WBill, I would guess it has to do with the gears also? Carl

I'm as confused as you!

Have not had a front blow out in about 30 years, but I do remember in my mind what not to do and what to do! The biggest problem, for me anyway, is that your "power steering" disappears, you still have it, but because of a front tire loss of air, you got to hang on and fight to hold the coach in control. Hard to keep off of brake, you will be surprised at how fast you go from 65mph to 10! Turn on signal or emergency blinkers ASAP after you have control and ease over to shoulder. Best thing of course is that you'll never need to find out. TPMS should be mandatory on all RV's...It's not cheap, but then what would it cost to replace half the side of a RV? Or a life?

Dicor comes to mind...it's good for all types of roofs! They also have tape and caulking,,,Amazon, Camping World, PPL. Carry it. Carl

Back to MPG. If your in a DP and getting more than 7mpg avg. then keep doing whatever it is your doing! I personally think that most folks, really don't care or pay much attention to it..I did not shell out hundreds of thousand dollars for great mileage! I did it for the ride and longevity of the Engine, towing ability and larger fuel, water and holding tanks...if I wanted to save $$$ at pump, I would have bought a green car and stayed in Motels!

No problem with snow, bugs, birds or Santa on a wax roof !

Mike. We all understand what you have said. Unfortunately, I for one, trust the EPA Administration, like I trust Obama Care! Or for that matter, all the Government, both State and Federal, regulation and oversight Departments, I had to deal with on the Exploration side of Oil and Gas! I retired in 1985 and went back in for a 2 year contract in 1999...no wonder the cost of Drilling Off Shore Domestic went clean of the chart...$84,000 per day. Avg. from drilling Rat Hole to Completion, 90+ days, in 2001...that's drilling only! And now, I'm suppose to trust the current oversight committees in refinement and delivery to the pumps? Dream on! Joe. Like Herman, I would like to know also. Carl

Herman. Unemployment is a great institution, as long as you don't need a job! BillA...if I had your rig, I would also feel comfy at those speeds...even for 300 a day! Leave at 10am, shut down at 3pm! WBill. I too can remember doing 600-750+ miles in a day...no problem when your in your 30's, 40's, 50's...then things start slowing down, including reaction time!

I bow to the experts! Carl

Wayne. Have heard that before, nice of you to post a positive, we get as you know, negative daily! Dead cell can cause some really strange things to happen...I had 5 in 8 batteries and at the time I was mad, but now I find all the things I chased down, funny! Carl
