Are the tires original? When where they aligned? How does the sidewall's look, any cracking? Carl

Is that bed by Innomax of Denver, CO.?

Dave, welcome to FMCA and Forum! You mentioned Golf Cart, is that for tooling around CG or do you play golf? Swinging Golfers (SWG) is a chapter off FMCA and we have a web page that you can Goggle. One sure way to meet people, is to join one or more chapters and FMCA has hundreds of them, all over North America. If you go to FMCA main site and sign in, click on chapters. Good luck and enjoy all that we offer! Carl

epstep. I have Blue Sky for MH. Everything else, is covered by USAA. Have you checked BS to see if they have a liability coverage for your lot? Allstate comes to mind also. There are Life Insurance Company's that also are into vehicle and property coverage. Goggle it! Carl

Welcome to the Forum. You might consider renting some chains. Been over both roads, but not in May...July and August, and on both occasions, I ran into sleet and snow on some of the passes. Last year, after the Redmond, Oregon rally, I was in Salt Lake City in early September and decided not to take 80 East, good thing, 18 wheelers, RV's and car's was stuck for 24 hours due to snow and Ice! 84 and 80 are good roads, you just have to be aware of the weather in the Mountains! Carl

popatop. Welcome! Cummins Coach Care, services a lot more than just engines and generator. I take mine in every 15,000 miles or 1 year, whatever comes first. As long as you keep the components serviced as recommended by the owners manual....you'll have no problems. Gremlins are everywhere, so take them as they come, especially on a new coach! Enjoy the ride Carl

Amen!

Sorry, I should have gone into more detail. I'll let the coffee kick in first, my computer is an hour ahead off me! Thank you, Brett and Rich. Carl

09bounder, welcome to the Forum. Do you have the same problem, when your on Generator? If not, then the relay switch needs replacing. Ref. brake/turn signal. Your coach is pre wired (normally) for towing, toad is not. Who did the tow installation? Carl

Bennie, It would be useful if we knew what kind of coach and size of engine? Also, answer from the manufacturer! Carl

The reason for not using sheets? They have wax in them & it clogs all filters in any washer/dryer. Info from a friend that own several laundry's. My washer/dryer in coach is Splendide Ariston stacked, no problems. Carl

DODENTHAL, Welcome to the Forum. You have probably seen roof mounted open dish or a trackvision pod. Portable units look similar, but they are not attached to coach. You take them out off storage bay at CG and place them in a clear sight area away from coach. You can get them for any satellite provider. Google Camping World and look under Portable satellite receivers and you will see a picture off each and description! There are several links here for flat screen TV conversion! Carl

I do mine just like Tom, only difference is, that I have to do inside and outside! Therefore, I go thru the steps slower. If I get interrupted by another camper, I start over. I answer no phone calls, Attach toad, L/R, breaks work, tail lights...then I walk out and look at my departure to see if it's open. I don't like GPS, got lost, too many times! I have a photographic memory, in color, so maps are fine! I put my phone on silent mode. Take your time and enjoy the beautiful country! Carl

rhart, Hi! Are you getting the coach from a dealer? There are several out there, that offer a hands on driving school. The Escapees, a chapter of FMCA, also offer a driving school and DP MH school. FMCA, at the rally's, are set up to weight your coach, so is Escapees. Congratulation. Oh, Porsche Cayenne, can not be towed 4 down, even if it could, who would want to? Mine is a 08', black/tan. Carl

P21932, Welcome to the Forum. Yes! Carl

dirt. Have you removed the switch and checked to see if you have any wires going to it? Carl

Don, Welcome to the Forum. Most States, is 65', but I have never heard of anyone being stopped for "over length". A lot off 45' coaches roll down the freeway, hauling 30' stackers! I would haul the Caddy with the trailer you got. Enjoy the ride Carl

barker, welcome. Don't know what year and make you have now. I do agree with Bill! If your into full timing, you will need the storage space and you can get a washer/dryer installed. All in one unit or stackable. If you don't have slide outs, you can have them installed, mater of fact, it's a lot cheaper than getting a new coach. Luck Carl

rhart. I read it. Now things are making sense! Please let us know what DP you finally buy. You have time and your looking, so that is a good thing. Regards Carl

rhart; Since you are also under Towing with a 30' Class C, I presume that is what you decided on. Good luck and happy travels.

rhart, Did you buy the Forester? Or the Blue Bird?

simptom43. Welcome to the Forum! You can Goggle Mission RV Resorts or send a private post to TBUTLER, find him in blogs on this forum, he now lives in the Valley and would know more that me! I would take a space for a month and then go out and get to know the area and check out the other parks and resorts! There are the good, better and the ugly. Meet with other RV'ers and get their input. Good luck to you and enjoy Texas! Carl

Brett & Rich, I have been looking for the Spartan chassis bible and the Cummins Owners Manual for 2 years! I found them today in the vacuum cleaner box...Duh! It's dark outside, so in the morning I will check the clear bubble for coolant, if none visible then I will add distilled water....freezing point is -33F and a 226 F boiling point. I do not have a refractometer, so I'll let Cummins in Albuq. NM check everything out, when I come off this Mountain. Thanks Carl

I have Blue Sky and am due to pay another year in November. Guess I'll take a wait and see attitude...as for age? Did not get that question, but it can go up 150% and I'll still be ahead!

New and watch it go thru the line. New off the show room floor, or lot. New Custom built (if you have very deep pockets). Pre owned. Those are the choices and they are all a "crap shoot"! It's been a problem since the first RV came off the production line. Just more so today, than 45 years ago! There are more Class A's on the roads now, just as there are millions more people who want and demand to have one! Supply and demand, dictates quality control. I can still remember, where ours was the only Motor Home in the Park and at 26' to 31', we where the biggest coach or trailer on the road. Every once in a while (mostly New England) we would run across a Flexible Conversion! Next time your in the area, stop off at Marathon Coach in Oregon, or Liberty Coach in Florida....the coaches you see inn and around the parking lot, are not all there to trade in on a new one...the more "Modern day high tech.", the more problems we have. You would think that for 1.3 to 3 million dollars, you would be trouble free! We have even more problems in a "cookie cutter" coach! So, we are left to wonder, who will give us the BEST after purchase service?! My 2 cents worth Carl
