This is why I got rid of the Allegro Bus! Too many new and improved mouse traps! What ever happened to "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" KISS... Carl

Tom. Thank you! Herman. I'll be in Perry the 16th, Governance 50 amp! Think Vine, cheese, crackers and sausage, Blue Bell for desert ! Carl

Gary, Perhaps you need to get a new DP, that way, anything that might crop up, you can have it fixed by Dealer or Factory! You didn't mention what you have now or what brand, model your looking for. When it comes to used DP's, it's no guarantee that it is perfect in every way. We use due diligence and hope for the best result in what we buy! My coach was used when I got it in Nov. 2013 and I have had some problems, but nothing major. All you can do, is bite the bullet and make a decision of what you want and what you can afford. Carl

FIVE. I have a Whirlpool Gold, 23cu. ft. Ice/water dispenser in door! Oh, did I mention that I have electric day/night shades on all windows! Like you, I'm up town on the East side! Carl

From: Drain System Management
manholt commented on huffypuff's blog entry in Caliente Springs Resort
First off, a slinky won't work with gutters! Second, not all campsites are designed the same! Third, there is a reason I carry (4) 10' lengths off hose! Carl -
Joe. When it's "that cold outside", your coach should be running South! Carl

Seeking Beartooth Highway Travel Tips
manholt replied to washtech's question in Destinations/Attractions
A lot off good information has been posted. Regardless of what rout you take and in what, coach or toad, please remember that your not the only one on the road! So, be aware and respectful of others! Way to many times that I have been in my coach, following a toad (yes you can tell) and the driver is totally un aware that I'm behind him/her! Like you, I don't stop on a dime in coach! Also, there is a reason for the turn signal...duh Carl -
DW looking at Prevost? Happy Groundhog Day....no shadow, early Spring! Carl

Only time I'll take "soft melting ice cream" is when it's on apple pie or a cobbler! Blue Bell comes to mind. I do not go to AZ in summer! Carl

Pretty much covers it. We have heard about the good, bad and the ugly. What else would a "sane" person want to know? Carl -
Frank. Not even for the fix in 3 hours or less? Carl

POP, When taking a shower, switch over to diesel. Electric is great for dish washing, but will run cold in shower when your half done, due to volume...BRRR! On diesel mine burns about .3 gal. per hour for heat. Water, don't know! Heath pumps are good to 36 degrees avg. depends on humidity! Carl

randigreen. Welcome to the Forum. I would take it to Red Bay, Al. Call and get a 3 hour appointment and tell them what the Dealer said...your under warranty! Tiffin will fix it, you should not be expected to do so! Carl

Ideas On Carrying 2 -300# Scooters
manholt replied to Bill@billblack.biz's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
Bill. At 60K, you have 2,660 to play with...have you weight your coach? Or just guessing? -
It only works in the song! A mad DW can really spend the money!!! Been there... Carl

The latch that is stuck, does it have a key lock on it? If so, take a thin metal shim and work it in between frame and latch. As for your kitchen drawer, you probably need to replace the latch. Go to any hardware store or Wall Mart and get a new one. 14 years of use and the rock and roll will take its toll ! Carl

Ouch! They saw you coming....Texas=Cattle, big land owners, oil/gas I Carl

Bill. Yes, I did get an estimate. However none off us knew that the front windshield was about to fall out, due to a replacement and bad workmanship. I had no idea that the previous owner had it replaced. We found out when the wind deflector wings was removed. TCC still stuck to the original under $1,500...BLEW MY MIND! That was an extra 2.5 hours and supplies! They will be replacing my Dish Dish with a DirecTV Dish! Also, replacing all my awnings with Zip Dee's! That will be done, prior to the FMCA Reunion in Mass! It shall be interesting to see what that bill will be...Remodeling this coach, inside and out, still beats the price of a new coach! Carl

Herman, I agree on the Aqua hot and whether I'm on it or heat pumps in cold (too me) weather, I also want my food to stay cool and or frozen. I also hate melting ice cubes! The same applies when it's summer and hot (90+/=) , humid conditions! In West Texas, I'll run the dash air since I don't have "swamp coolers"! Hope we answered your question Bill. Carl
-
Bill. What "gas" furnace? I'm all electric, with Aqua Hot and it's diesel....gen gives me heat pump and refrigerator that stays cold! Carl

Well ":Jake". Do you have a DW? If you do, you might want to run this by her and if it's OK, then what the heck! You don't want to find out at the bottom of the run that it's not! If you don't have a DW, then notify your next of kin! A 45' DP & hairpin curves is never a good idea! Carl -
FIVE. You bored? Never would have thought it... I'm waiting for the laundry to get done! Your right, some very misleading comments! Last year I was looking at a Driver (golf), but could not justify the price at Golfsmith or the PGA Store. A friend found and bought it at Ft Hood. I was no where near a base! When I'm camping for more than a couple days and within 40+/- miles of a base, I'll drive in and look around.... As for politicians, the poor folks don't get paid much and don't think their getting their fair share! So they want to close down anything that they can't get a kick back from! Carl

Best State to Establish Residency
manholt replied to rkburdick's topic in Laws and Legislative Action
DBianchini. Welcome to the Forum! No! Have never heard of one! I suppose you could start your own by reading all the posts on this subject in the Forum. Then posting it. To be legal, you would have to move out off CA. The only State's I know off, is Oregon and Montana, they meet most of your needs. Problem is that all State's have different taxes, registration fees, license regulations, cost of insurance, etc. All have property (house) tax. Then there is County and City School tax. No State, that I know off, has a luxury tax, or care about how many vehicles you have! CA. might be an exception!? Good luck.. Carl -
Started generator yesterday, 82 degrees, no smoke and ran as usual...feel better! Thank you all Carl

Richard. Look in the back of a cabinet, closes to an appliance. I have seen them under the sink and in cabinet between microwave/refrigerator! For bathroom, I have had one inside the medicine cabinet! Think outside of the box... Carl
