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

Mine is the same as Kay, but have no propane, all elect. coach. Height is always on my mind and Keon you need to know what yours is to the highest point of coach from ground. Whip antenna you just have to be aware that it's there, it will bend, your AC, will not ! Carl

Your on the road again...good news! Carl

Ms. Wilkins, Good Luck in your quest. Carl

Agree. I-10 is boring! I stay over just west of Del Rio, then depending upon weather Van Horn, Deming, NM and Tucson, AZ. If it works right, I'll cut of from before Tucson and go to Ajo, AZ, then straight up to Phoenix. If I'm going north of LA. Ca. then Vicksburg to I-40, otherwise its I-8. I do not do I-10 to LA. Shot me first, please!

I'm paid for and hugging the Southern route out there !

You can also Google RV roof sealant, repair or caulking...lot's off links to DIY or how to clean and prep, depending on the type off roof you have, rubber, aluminum, fiberglass, etc. Carl

Redwahine. Welcome to the Forum! There is a group that do National event's, I met a couple about a month ago and they where going to Tucson, AZ for a week off competition, then back to El Paso, TX for the World Championship. Go to FMCA.com and click on chapters. If you don't find it there, then Google sporting clays events! Carl

Welcome! Has this happened before? Is it your first tow? Carl

Problem Solved...I was using Google Chrome on my 2010 Toshiba Lap Top. Got rid of Chrome and back on Explorer. No more issues, everything is back to normal. Carl

It would be helpful to know what year, make and model coach you have. Also, what type off roof. Carl

Weiss. Welcome! Nice looking coach you have! Now, get out and enjoy the scenery as you travel to new places.. Carl

I do the same as FIVE...I also have the outside keys duplicated...most important ones are Fuel, Water and Front door! Go enjoy our beautiful country! Carl

Well my response dissapeard again! Somethings are the same.

Ditto that. What are you driving? Carl

Joe. You can't compare OTR with a Motor Home, by using miles as a yardstick! I had 59,000+/- on it...yes, I could have had it cleaned and baked and been without my coach for a 3 month back log, OTR is first in line! Oh, did I mention that the process is also not cheap? Couple of hundred less, than replace and go! How many miles does a OTR put on in a year? Clean and bake is normally good twice, some luck out and get 3, then you get a new one...by then you have paid for 11/2 or 2 new...but that's called tax write off, we don't have that luxury Joe! Carl
