    Bill, Rich.

    I run my generator when I'm driving and it had only been off for 26 hours while I was at TCC. I checked the oil yesterday morning and it was OK.

    After the blue smoke, it worked as normal, with a full cycling load, I run with electric heater on when it's cold to me. probably "Balmy" to Joe!

    The last time I had a puff of blue, it quit running & I had to get new bushings installed...$890!

    I have a Diesel 10kw Onan with 164 hours since last service. I get it serviced at or near 150. Yesterday, when I

    started it up, I got a large puff of blue smoke, then it ran fine. I plan on adding oil this morning, as it will be another

    20 +/- hours before I can get service!

    What would indicate blue smoke? Something to worry about or just cold? Outside temp was 38. Gen has 1,183 hrs.

    Glad it all worked out for you! Problems occur mostly due to miss information and the coach not being built according to the electrical

    schematic that's in your owners manual, if it's in your manual at all. That also applies to mechanical.

    I had a Winnebago Tour, 07' that was built to 06' specs, even though it was built in July 07'!

    Update. Got in at 10:15 this morning and my list off things to fix is done! The plastic wings on front window

    are curing overnight and will be put back on tomorrow, the front windshield is also curing. Came to find out

    that the original owner of coach had a new front windshield installed at some point and they did a lousy job

    on removal (there are 4 bolts/nuts on each wing, 3 on each was broke off) and installation. My windshield

    was barely attached and would have fallen off real soon! They removed it, scraped the mounting clean and

    re mounted it with the correct adhesive.

    I watched and they explained every step of the way...a very informative day!!! 7 hrs. including an hour for lunch!

    One thing that got my full attention today, everyone in the shop was eager, fast, professional and happy! Nobody was negative in

    any way and it showed in their work!

    All that I had done here, would have taken a month or more at Lazydays in FL.

    I recommend Texas Custom Coach to anybody that need major work done if your in this part of Texas! I'm a happy camper!

    Something that we should all remember and think about.

    From beginning to current, the US Marine, who guards the tomb of the unknown soldier, does not take a break for a Storm!

    They walk their post 24/7/365 in full dress uniform...no parkas allowed. White gloves!

    God Bless

    Ken.

    My Jeep Wrangler Sport has also been modified. One thing is that your tow is level or +/- 2", I had a welder

    build me a "Z" extension out off 3" angle iron (stainless 1/4" steel) for my hitch receiver. My Roadmaster

    6000 fits into and through the top of "Z", pin goes thru both & secured by a barrel lock. I don't have a base

    plate, I use the bracket for the "D" rings on a Stainless Steel bumper that is bolted and welded to frame! To

    prevent wear and tear of my front tires (34" NITTO) I installed track bars. I have a 3" lift & I tow level. :)

    My Jeep is still a work in progress! At 72+, I have to have my toys! :rolleyes::lol:

    Tom.

    I'm surprised that the Forum will allow that kind of controversial blog or comment to be posted to begin with! So far, everything has been based upon constructive information, that we can all give positive information and or learn from!

    Your Blogs are all very informative and makes me feel like I'm on the trip with you! Your information on other subjects within the Forum is open, knowledgeable and helps the person who post the question!

    If a comment can be made by anyone and then, no one is allowed a rebuttal, that makes me feel that it was fabricated or embellished to begin with!
