  1. OK, that makes good sense...what about the "little mushroom head caps"?? They are driving me nuts more than I already am! Carl
  2. I did notice that the fire guy's suppressant was about 25% more than the other link...they are both the same system! I'll check it out in Perry! Carl
  3. The choice would be, house or Prevost? Not both! You can get a nice Prevost for under $250K but I would think the overall cost of operation would far exceed my humble coach...don't think they get 6.5 to 7.5 mpg! I would hate to buy 8 off those tires... Carl
  4. Joe, send a PM to Herman, he has the name, that I forgot, of a company who takes care of the fog problem without having to buy a new window! Carl
  5. I have a lot off inset screw holes with little mushroom plugs that keep falling out. What I need is something to put on screws to prevent them from getting loose so that I can put a dab of Elmer's glue on each plug! Also screws for valance boxes to prevent rattle. Shake, rattle and roll! Carl
  6. As Brett mentioned, I had them in my boats, both for my peace of mind and to meet APBA (American Power Boat Assoc.)! My question is, have anyone measured how hot it gets in the engine compartment of a DP under normal operating conditions? Also, in a heat wave with the added reflection of heat from road surface? What I'm concerned about, is the relative low set point (280+F) by the manufacturer...will it go off with no fire? Carl
  7. Where in Florida is Top Sail and are they big rig park?
  8. Welcome. I would take it up with your CPA or if you don't have one, call FMCA or Escapees. There are so many variables.... Carl
  9. David, I'm not an electrician, but I would run the generator. House from 40's or 50's probably don't have copper wiring (unless your parents had it re wired) so to be on the safe side, run your power at night. Every other coach is heading south, Snow Birds! Your heading North...OK. Have a safe trip and be aware off Blake Ice! When you know it's going to be cold or stormy weather, don't run your fuel tank below 1/2 full and you might want to add some anti-gel to fuel. Carl
  10. Bill. Smoky Bear Campground, when I Goggled it brought back a flood of memories from 07' and 09'! Your right about coming in from the East...great place to stay and take Toad or bike to explore....I could spend a month and not see everything worth seeing! They do have some crazy, but beautiful roads in the area...hwy. 32 and 28 are near and dear! Saw a 18 wheeler stuck on a corner of Hwy. 28, surprised he got as far as he did...lol. I'll be there in July on my way to W. Springfield and may even stop by again on my way to NC. Thanks for the memories! Carl
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  15. 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
  16. Joe. When it's "that cold outside", your coach should be running South! Carl
  17. 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
  18. 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
  20. Pretty much covers it. We have heard about the good, bad and the ugly. What else would a "sane" person want to know? Carl
  21. Frank. Not even for the fix in 3 hours or less? Carl
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. Bill. At 60K, you have 2,660 to play with...have you weight your coach? Or just guessing?
  25. It only works in the song! A mad DW can really spend the money!!! Been there... Carl
