New Green Technology Sewage Elimination System
manholt replied to JMGOLDEN's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
JM. Just for giggles, thank you! Being a retired, Oil Field trash, engineer. I have no problem with the system, but we are talking DP that we will call an Apple and the ships as an Orange. I have a Macerator Toilet and a 60 gallon poop tank with very limited room to add anything else ( also, I can't poop enough in 3-4 days to warrant the expense). A ship or even a boat that is big enough to have a head with a liquid holding tank, has all kinds off room for your unit. A ship, unless it's an inter Island, already have their own waste water recycling system for both gray and black, the gray is recycled back into system for showers and flushing...the black is ejected at port. That also goes for cruise ships! I travel alone and my dog don't use the head! I dump (when in a campground) the gray every 3-4 days (100 gallon tank) and black about 10 days. As Ray, Herman and Bill....I'll pass. -
Houston TX-- Weather Conditions In January
manholt replied to kaypsmith's question in Destinations/Attractions
That "Big Pool", is a love it and hate it relationship! From July to November each year....think Ike! It's surprising that 48 miles, can make such a big difference in the weather....whenever I have to leave the Island and go to Texas, I Google the weather! As Herman said, come and enjoy our hospitality! -
ObedB, I have 8 XZA's...2 in front are 315, rest 295. Brand new 18 August 2014 in Oregon.

New Green Technology Sewage Elimination System
manholt replied to JMGOLDEN's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
Thinking, "Snake Oil" in Texas is a common thing! This concept is suppose to be GREEN and I can't understand how it can be that, when the process is spewing sewage into the air! Also, he mentioned boon-docking, that would mean starting the engine every week and letting it fast idle all day long....I wonder how long my Cummins would last? Yep. Ray, I'm with you on this one! -

JMGolden. He's your friend...why don't you be the tester? Sure would be nice if you gave a tad more information. Besides that, why does it not work on a gas unit? Me thinks, Ray has the answer!! -
Welcome to the forum! Went into one in Redmond, OR, inside is totally different from original, but real nice! Good luck camping.

LOL. Thanks for help...I'm in a cave, when it has to do with computers and phones!

Up date: Per AMC Tech. there is a plug under a removable cover, under bed that you un-plug and wait about 10 seconds ( it resets the computer board) then re-plug. It worked. No more blinking lights! Problem solved... Isn't high tech wonderful? Carl C. 10' AMC Tradition 45'

Well Brett, guess I'm a computer dummy...I still don't see on the bottom of page "name, type of RV, tow, etc."! How did you get all your info to show up in light blue at end off a posting? Carl C.

Houston TX-- Weather Conditions In January
manholt replied to kaypsmith's question in Destinations/Attractions
We are suppose to start getting an El Ninjo weather pattern this winter....so, a little cooler and wetter than most, however I would still go with Brett for a guideline. Bring an umbrella. Southeast Texas is a crap shoot, anytime! -
Will be 72 in Feb. 15'....feel 50 with a couple of pains, so what? Bet 70% of users are 60+! How do I add the below info to my posts? Getting tired of typing...lol Carl C. 10' AMC Tradition 45' 13' Jeep Wrangler

If we ever hear from Dean again...here's my 2 cents worth! Had the same problem on a 07' Winnebago Tour 40KD with a 400 Cummins and rear radiator. Turned out to be the coolant reservoir that was too small. Cummins gave me 2 choices, I could change it out for the correct size or add coolant as needed for the heat of summer, I choose to look at my level in the mornings and add as needed. Also, when temps. in far West Texas and East New Mexico was over 100, I would run in 5th gear at 55 mph. Hwy. 285 from Ft. Stockton, TX to I-40 in NM is all up hill... Buy the extra fuel, it's a lot cheaper!!! Carl C. 10' AMC Tradition 45' with 425 Cummins 13' Jeep Wrangler

Glenns. It sure would help to know, where are these long, hot, inclines? I can only think off CA, OR, AZ and parts of NM. Anyway, on a 98' model I would definitely listen to Brett and as far as re-engineering is concerned...don't. KISS, is a good thing!

I bought new a 2011 Allegro Bus 36' with a 450 DEF Cummins. Yes, I had power but I only got an average, over 3 years, of 7.2 mpg. The DEF tank was located on right rear....could not use pump at any truck stop and filling tank is a pure pain in the back, when your 6'8"!!! Per Cummins, the reason for a 450 HP was due to the 12% HP loss, due to DEF. I hate the DEF system. All it does is keep Al Gore, the green huggers and Government happy for extra taxes! I ask myself, why is it that the biggest polluters out there, are exempt from DEF? As for Turbo and fuel MPG/Power at higher elevation...we covered that in another posting. Sorry Brett, but your theory in 12' counter your reply to me about lousy MPG in Oregon. Carl C. 10' AMC Tradition 45' Cummins 425

Since I use my coach a lot, not full time, around 16,000 miles a year, I find it easier to see a Cummins Coach Care shop. They have the facility to handle the fluids, and they will do everything at one time...engine, generator, chassis, HWH and transmission if it needs it. When I figure in what my time is worth, then I feel I'm way ahead at the end of the day! My appointment is 0730, the 28th at Cummins, Houston, TX., then I put the coach in garage for 6 weeks with a full tank of fuel, knowing it will be ready to roll...that's peace of mind!

This is my 5th campground in the past 2 weeks. Wow, chasing down a loss ground is going to be so much fun! LOL...but it makes sense, thanks. Carl C.

haeffele Welcome to the forum! I don't want to be crude, but the question is how much does the person weigh that slept on the part that dropped 4 inches? Carl C. 10' AMC Tradition 45'.

This started about 2 weeks ago and now has gotten worse. When I turn a light on/off or raise/lower my window shades/blinds, all pads flash white 4 times and the pad that I touched stay at blue as it should. The blinking does not prevent me from getting what I want. All fusses are good and so is breaker, it only happens when I'm on 50 amp shore power, not with Generator. Any ideas would be appreciated.

bmcloud, Welcome to the forum. Your information is nice to know, but when you say bigger rigs, what length are you talking about and how are the roads getting in? Also, I have 4 slides!? Carl C. 10' AMC Tradition 45' Jeep Wrangler SWG INTO National Director

Good grief. Other than Kempner and Progressive ( mine), I've never heard of the rest! I would love to have something that cost less than Progressive with same coverage and service...$ 1,000 deductible! Currently have 3 chips in front windshield, easy and cheap fix. Replacement is very expensive! Carl C. 10' AMC Tradition 45'

OK, Brett. It's possible, but I've not run across a dealer, that efficient. Also, don't know if Eagle was "New". I would still have called AMC! There is more than enough money built in to be able to re adjust on the Heritage (not Horizon), even with the 30% off MSRP. Carl C.

I found nothing about price increase, not that it matters, glad I got 8 new ones in Oregon after rally!!! Saved big on no sales tax... Carl C. 10' AMC Tradition 45'

I'm with Brett. Also, about 10 gal. of water in black tank after dumping...nothing in gray. I don't want the extra weight of 110 gal. of water! Carl C. 10' AMC Tradition 45' Jeep W.

Medico. Your neighbor is either embellishing the truth or stupid. One night at Dealer and lost $ 50k!! No way. I would be on the phone to AMC in a heartbeat! Something smells.
