  1. I looked at both the picture above and the one from the web...the web one shows the 5 amp, where the 25 amp is above, which one is correct? Carl
  2. Have you thought about posting this question with CC Tech Dept? All of the old Tech's are still there! Carl

    Road Light

    Back 49 years ago ( 1967), we didn't drive with our lights on except at dark thirty. As soon as you put the coach in reverse, your rear lights came on, not the red brake light, but bright white lights. Then in 1981, we had Docking lights. 1 on each side of coach, right behind drive axle and the two back lights. Ever since, we have had the docking lights! In the mid 1980's we got the B and W back up camera! Prior to that, we had a rear window and a rear mirror mounted under the front TV (think small) and a crank antenna...That crashed against tree limbs and had to be replaced...ugh! Carl
  4. John. Did you do a search, as Brett suggested? Carl
  5. At 2010 it's a 09 engine, 2011 it's DEF. I replaced my Particulate filter last January...you can buy several Hundred's of gallons of DEF for that cost ! Carl
  6. The older you get..the more of that you will have! Get a longer ladder and send the kids up..
  7. objackie. Welcome. If you want road clearance and off road running. Jeep Wrangler 4 X 4, stay away from all wheel drive, Jeep Cherokee 4 X 4 is also good for those years. Carl
  8. Joe, that's common for short people! Afraid of heights... Sorry, could not help it.
  9. Good Grief! A double. Rich. I still have my OEM...except for 2 that was bent and was replaced with new bay door 5 weeks ago! Carl
  10. Richard, welcome. Is that all the bay doors or just one? How many slide out's do you have? As Bill said, this could get lengthy without knowing what you have! Some of mine, open up with one strut, some with 2 (most common) and I have 2 bay doors that are side open. All are aluminum. Some coaches don't have any struts, just a latch attached above the max height of door....Think we need more input from OP. Carl
  11. What size Fifth Wheel are you currently pulling? I have 2 good friends, that pull FW trailers, only because they already have the trucks. CH has a 40 foot that measures out at 44 foot and pulls with a 3500, true 1 ton Duramax and DH, has a 45 foot Custom trailer, that measures out at 51 foot and pulls with a F550. They both run the flats at 70, I run at 64...only time we see each other on the road, is when we hit the 6%+ hills and I pass them, I run the gears! They don't. We all get around 6.5 mpg. My thought has always been, if you want great mpg and zip over the mountain roads? Buy a car and stay in Hotels! As Bill said, when you get behind a 18 wheeler, enjoy the scenery...when the truck hits the top, I still don't pass, because I don't want to do 80+ mph going down the other side..geez! I had a 2011 Allegro Bus 36 foot DP 450 with DEF...got 1 mpg more than my present coach! Yes, it did go over mountains faster and I had to stop for fuel more often than now, 100 gal. vs 150 gal., Also, the 36 foot weighs less than my current coach...I think it has more to do with, how you drive! Too me it's the journey, not the Destination... FIVE. I see no mention in this post, about a ICS 400...360, yes! Carl
  12. Joe. There are no pro rated charges anywhere in the US or Canada that I know about now, there used to be, but now there are virtually millions of RV's and I think you know as well as I, that some folks are going to hook everything up, even for 8-10 hours! Abuse the system! So, I don't blame the CG for being full price!!! Your right about small less than 30 foot spaces and it don't get better the further North you go...then the fact that a lot of trailers are left at the camp site until next season! DW and I preferred to be in New England from mid August to mid September. We used most of the same CG every year, but when we got the 34 foot Barth, all that changed. The only one we could still use was a CG in Providence, Cape Cod and on a Island about 20 miles North of Portland, Main! Carl
  13. Joe. Welcome to the "what happened to my post" club! Carl
  14. I only have experience with one black vulture and a 1976 Ford 4 door company car...bird took out the front windshield and insurance totaled the car! Stench was unreal and they said it would never go away...Company gave me a new Ford p/u 1980. Carl
  15. Keon. That made more realistic sense! You also have less real estate for the amount of people, then throw in a million tourist's and I can see where the demand, far exceeds the supply!
  16. Bill. By the time I got finished looking at all of them, I blew the morning..LOL Some really good info, to a point.
  17. Brett. I did send a post in about it...have not heard back yet. Carl
  18. All of them do that. Don't stay because of Brand name, agent or office is local. I check around every 2 years. Especially after a major weather event, I live in Texas and don't want to pay for Matthews in Carolina! Carl
  19. John. On this Forum, under "Step's", there is an amazing amount of info for your problem! Carl
  20. JimR. Welcome to the Forum! What, Make, model and length of coach do you have? A lot of Custom Coaches have residential washer/dryer in them. But, they also have a lot bigger grey tank than mine and they have secondary pumps to move the larger quantity of water, than my stacked Splendid. There is also, the matter of 240V vs. 120V, how do you manage that? Carl
  21. Bill Adam, was that a Pelican? Sorry, no fun to replace windshield. Herman is right. They are great to deal with. Bet that bird got both of your attention!
  22. Good grief, I wrote the above, before you answered Brett...what is going on! And where has my answer been for the past 21/2 hours? Carl
  23. All 6 tires? You might have too much air in them, go find a place to have your coach weighed, each corner and front back, with what you normally have in coach on the road. I carry a lot less air in mine and I'm at 45 foot. Carl
  24. Take a Rubber head hammer or regular wrapped in a towel and hit motor, make sure your in the clear, when it comes out...clean all off step with either soap and water or Simple green and water (you need to do that monthly) and lube all moving parts after each cleaning! Most times it's the arm between motor and step that hangs up...little computer chip in there and right now, it probably thinks the step is out..you need to jar it loose, then it will reset itself to the door! Also, make sure that step is completely out and looked before any weight is put on it...including the dog (if you got one)! In the section of Step, there is an amazing amount written about this problem! Carl
