  1. Leak in fluid line, or fitting comes to mind! Take it to another shop, would help if we knew where your at now! Carl
  2. This sounds so much easier and cheaper than messing with packed bearings! Now on my must do list for peace of mind! Carl

    Herman. Thanks for the tip. If I remember correctly, your leaving for Perry today and I'm heading out Saturday.. stay safe! Carl
  4. Oneway. I cruise on RCI an average of 12 weeks a year and rule no.1 is do not leave out of NJ in winter! Way too many Northeasters! My next cruise is a 16 day Trans Atlantic from Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Denmark. You'll have better luck getting someone at TCC after 9:30am...ask for Ray! Carl
  5. roblaura. Sounds wonderful. Have you looked at the American Coach 39A? Carl
  6. Leary. LOL, that is one "BIG" dog! I have never been asked about that one....I had a 42# mixed breed for 15+ years and put her down last July...if I was not 73, I would love to have a Flanders or it could have me! If I remember, avg. female 120#, avg. male 140#! Great temperament around pretty near everyone and everything! Carl

    Hello

    Tiny houses, are what the name implies. Think of it as a very small and short Mobile home! They really have nothing in common with a trailer, other than an axle or two! Ditto for me Bill. Carl
  8. Joe. You have some lingering cop attitude? Lots of my friends do! Understandable and it only takes a life time to get completely rid of.... Your doing well. I thought you would have "blown" a long time ago! Carl
  9. Herman & Bill. Since mine did not come with any records, that is the reason I just blew $3,400+ at Cummins, glad I did! Still have Aqua Hot and brakes that TCC will do in April/May while I'm in Europe. Bearings will be changed over to oil bath...thank you for that info! Carl
  10. On a gas rig, I would invest in the Banks system and have 3 times! It didn't help my mph all that much, but it did improve my speed up the long, long hills of AZ, CA and OR. Also kept my engine cooler in the desert sun! Carl
  11. FIVE. Watching toad is good...no fun, when you don't see it! Even less when it's passing you... Carl
  12. Oneway, I remember your first post. Sorry that your having this problem! I would call both places. I only have experience with Texas Custom Coach, last month, my post is on this Forum...very happy with work and price! They can fix anything or build you a brand new coach! They do gas/DP's/5th or custom horse trailers ($250K+) make you wish you had a horse... $38K is pathetic! Carl
  13. Between Bill, Brett, Joe and ObedB, there is at least 150+ years of hands on experience in all things chassis, diesel motors and axels...from trucking to DP's. I do not question what they have to say! Actions in my book speak louder than words! Having said that. When, from another tread, you have to carry a can of WD-40 to operate items on a brand new $1,800,000 coach, then yes, there is something seriously wrong with the industry as a whole! Not too long ago, you got a coach built by the Amish inside and out, you knew you had a good coach! Not so today...flimsy! Carl
  14. Motorhome Specialists of Texas, in Alvarado, TX. comes to mind. They have as big if not bigger selection in new and used as Lazydays in FL & Arizona combined! Five. At $500K it kind off limits the coach to AC, Monaco or Newmar. Surprised if we get an answer! Carl
  15. Joe. Google New Bransfeld Smokers, Even CW used to have a fully enclosed RV size smoker! We have a store here called Academy, believe they have a catalog. For off the wall stuff try Katz of Houston! Carl
  16. Did you go thru the dealer? Did you call Fleetwood? New coach = Warranty!
  17. Samsprott. Welcome to the Forum. In 40+ years off class A's, I have never seen or heard of anyone putting a washer/dryer in living room! That's a Hoot! What kind of coach do you have? Carl
  18. Joe. 5' 2"? And your 6' 6"? This I have got to see! I shut mine off like Brett. Have had the one big cube and it's a total pain, I had to use a borrowed hair dryer and then I ended up with H2O everywhere! No thanks, not again! Carl
  19. We aren't $1,800,000 therefore we leak! We also, have common sense, we carry WD-40 and duck tape! Carl

    Joe. So am I since my bill was already pushing $3,800....final came in at $3,439.53, that includes the 10% discount for Cummins Power Club! When your having a full service on engine and generator, with a radiator flush, replace thermostats , CAC cleaned and pressure tested and all belts replaced. The cost goes up! If you had seen my main belt, hanging on by a quarter of an inch, you would understand why I feel it was $$$ well spent! I sleep so much better now! Only service I have left is Aqua Hot. Carl
  21. Wayne. Have you thought about turning your lemon into an apple? Or are you bound and determined to turn the one you have into a Princess? Well, at least your saving $$$ on storage! Carl
  22. Indio, Ca. They have always been a hassle to deal with...too much Hollywood, I would expect! Only place I ever had a problem in any of my coaches, so leave Indio alone! To my knowledge Nation wide, Supper C is no problem! The only once that run into it every once in a while (mostly FL.) is the custom built Renegade and trailer...there is no "box" for them to fit in. They are not an A, B, or C.....but you can walk from cab to living area of coach, therefor your OK in FMCA! Carl

    Joe. Good looking coach, nice pictures and way too many potato's for a family of 4! You on the feed? You really should take a selfy with DW! Carl
  24. We seem to have lost another newbie OP!? Carl
  25. Five. I still have a 07' Chevy 2500 with the Duramax and Allison....117,356 miles and no problem. Mine is 4x4 and I have pulled low boy trailers with Cat track dozers and track hoes, horse trailers and pulled stumps with it...best truck/engine combo! Have not made a comparison, but the 33' Palazzo has a 300 Cummins and 600 pounds of T. I would not buy a Breeze or Palazzo, just saying! Carl
