I use Corell plates for all hot food and wash by hand, with HD Latex gloves. Also, only use plastic spoon for Blue Bell ice cream. Can't stand plastic knife and fork! It's just me, so why carry a bunch of dishes in dishwasher around until I get a full load? As a caveat, Corell will break in HOT water.

There is a lot off disinformation out there! When I had my Allegro Bus 2011, I had what turned out to be a bad sensor, about half way between Odessa and Amarillo. I called Cummins in Amarillo and asked, "is it OK for me to drive the coach in? Or do I need a tow?" They told me to drive on in and no it would not damage my engine or exhaust system, nor would it do anything to my warranty! Prior to that, I was told that my engine would shut down and it would require a Cummins Tech to come and start the engine! Lots of $$$$ A friend had to replace the DEF tank (it got damaged in Alaska), he drove over 800 miles for a replacement, with no DEF! Also, no damage. So much hype from Govt agency's, Dealers and experts! Carl

I would put it on/or in a trailer! Carl

I have it on mine and covered 16,000+/- miles last summer. Used jacks 2 times. Wish I had this system a long time ago! Carl

Correct Herman. But I, like Brett, would like to know more about the coach...30A or 50A. Would be nice to hear back from Mattboy Carl!

Blue Beacon Truck Wash 4x a year, wash/wax $ 64, toad included. Lucas as needed & Auto Zone glass cleaner for front windows. Lucas on side windows. Carl

Kay...LOL. I have washer and drier, staked. Love it. As for dishwasher, I tried it a couple of times after throwing a dinner party. Did not like it, so now it is storage for all paper products. I can wash dishes, pots and pans (after feeding 5 friends and me) in 30 minutes or less and I know they are clean. Show the dishwasher to a woman, who has none and they want it! Will they use it? Have only met one! The rest, use it mostly for storing pots. Good luck and enjoy the trips! Carl

Ultraglide. Good Morning. El Paso and Albuquerque, have Cummins and bigger than Las Cruces. As for DEF, I also don't like it! Rich is right. Good Luck Carl

Spot on, Kay. Another good reason to have a hard wired surge protector in coach and/or a portable at outlet. Mattyboy, did the electrician check to see what kind off amperage you needed? Was he/she a licensed electrician? Carl

I had all 64 lights replaced with LED at Lazydays in Tampa, where I bought my current coach. The one thing I was told is never use your bare hands to re-place or change a bulb, seems that oil from hands will shorten or make bulb inoperable. I have replaced all my house lights also and used latex gloves. My 2 cents. Carl

Had the same problem, turned out to be loose ground and the back up monitor was on for day! I might be wrong, but I believe that the Winnebago Journey also has docking lights. Carl

If your not a Cummins Club member, ask for app and pay the $25 before repair, you get 10% off bill! Carl

Thank you Herman. I guess that between the delayed action off Fogger and Flea/Tick spray, my problem might be solved...have not seen a bug since the 20th. Could also be that they died of old age! I also spread some powder tide on floor ( accident), if tide can make things go boom and clean cloths, I suppose it will also get rid of bugs...I'll try that in the garage when I get home. I'm currently freezing on a ranch between Ingram & Mountain Home, Texas...the ground around my bus is white! My beetle was gray! Thanks all. Carl

Thank you for pics! Been wanting to do the same with mine. I currently use the normal set up, but want to put in full skid plates and can't do it. Where did you install the lights and brake connections, also safety cables? Carl

I agree with State & National Parks, also most RV Parks. With a Jeep Wrangler 2 door as my toad, I'm at or slightly over the 65' limit in Texas, but each State has their own length limits. Anyone who has a 45' and a truck is beyond the 65'! A Staker trailer, has a different hook up for towing and attaches to a ball on back off bus. A 20 footer would be about 67' to 68'. Stakers are also close to the same height of bus. The down side is that they are heavy, expensive and triple axel. Unless you plan on staying in a Park for less than 3 months at a time, I would not bother. You really need 2 sites and both of them pull-thru. I have never had a problem with 4 wheels down and don't need a pull-thru! Good luck on full timing. Carl

Sorry! I miss read it. Herman is right. Good luck Carl

Both of mine are due this month. This years inspection sticker will be good for 9 months....I feel cheated! Carl

I have a Kwiki and can get to motor and electrical under step. Have to remove 2 screws first, What kind do you have? Carl

Thanks Rich, I'll give it a try and let you know! Found a beetle on bed...

Anyone have a safe fogger for RV? I have a tree beetle and "dog tick" problem in bus. I set off a fogger last Saturday and aired out bus Sunday. Have not seen the beetle but have ticks still alive! I'm leaving later today for a couple of weeks. Carl

It's been informative! Would love to see the end result with pictures? I also have thought about wood or cork flooring, since I travel with a shedding dog, rug is not an option. Tile gets hard on an old body and kneeling down is painful! Best of luck. Carl

Last time we heard from Powerstroke was December 2013! Enough said Carl

I just got my bill for the annual State of Texas tag...$ 782, here it's based on weight not value. Also, we have a brand new law on Safety Inspection, you need one this year before you apply for State Tag...next year, it's 90 days before State! Law went into effect January 15, 2015. Carl

Lot of wine=very dry mouth and commode hugging...

Thank you Brett...to many acronyms to remember! Carl
