Thanks Brett, that I can do.
How do I find the cause off the drain on start batteries? Whether I'm in a RV park or the coach is in the garage on power, there should not be such a big drain!?

I have not had a new one yet, that had less issues than a used one! Got rid off an '11 that I got new and in '13 bought the one I have now! Did the same as ribarklii.

Thank you Herman!
Her name was "Lucky" and I adopted her at the dog pond 6/17/2000, the vet estimated that she was born in March. I had her for her whole life and just a part of mine!
In her life, she visited more states, countries and logged more air miles than most people I know. RIP 3/11/2000 - 7/24/2015
Enough said...any thoughts about my mirror problem?

John, welcome to the forum.
Don't know what kind off rig your driving. Gas, DP, Class A,C. or B, length or weight. Glad everything worked out for you and hope you had no major damage!
I think anyone who has had Motorhomes in the past and current has had their fair share off blow outs and it's never been a pleasant experience! That said, it's always on my mind when driving and it's the reason to check for proper air pressure daily, before hitting the road! Also, make sure your weight is proper (what you carry) for the rig and tires. How old are your tires? Over 6 years, start looking to get new tires all around.
As for Tyron, I just don't trust them! When mine came apart, on the freeway in Houston, I thought I had a blow out!!! When I could visually check, every tire was fine until I started driving, the noise was unreal and I started thinking on what else it could be....25 miles to Cummins Coach Care in Houston, took over 2 hours because I could not use I-10, any speed over 15-20 mph and the whole coach was shaking and waddling like a goose! My dog went nuts....
Tyron also is very heavy for rims that carry 22.5 tires!

Brett, jleamont, good morning.
It's a Velvac and it's where the whole mirror joints the head of arm. It's inverted with a blind spot mirror on top and bottom of mirror, also heated and side camera.
The adjustment screw has a S shaped slot, that may just be a cover, don't know as I don't have anything that fits.
Have looked at Velvac web info and can't even find the mirror...other sites have a mirror that looks like mine, but you got to buy the whole setup (arm, etc.) and it's darn expensive.
I was going to be in Madison, but had to put my dog down and now I'm still in Texas...no way I can make it by the 28th!

I had beetles last year and spread borax around inside coach and storage bays....no more beetles! Store any left over borax in a zip lock bag, if left in box it will get hard like cement!
I wonder how they saved it 50-100 years ago?

Hi Herman.
I might have the same problem. When I had 7 tires replaced in Oregon last August, I had to use my house batteries to start engine. We checked chassis battery and found a dead cell in one, so I replaced both and have had no problem until now. If coach sits for 4 or more days, then it just clicks and I need house batteries to start.

My right rear view mirror is loose and I can see where to adjust or tighten. Problem is that it looks like a special tool is needed...anyone know where I can get it or something else that will work?
Thanks

I had them on my 45' and can tell you that I will never do it again! When I left for Redmond last year, my band came un done in my left front tire. The band totally chewed up the inside and it cost me $ 1,100+ for a new tire and labor!
There is no factory support, since they are located in Essex, England. I called them, the bands are designed and made for British Military Off Road Vehicles! Tyron's representative did not recommend the bands be used on personal or recreational vehicles!
I also got mine from Lazy days in Tampa and they will not stand behind them after purchase.
My 2 cents worth!

Erniee will be doing my coach in April 2016....busy man, I like that!

Your right about Bob! He retired several years ago and the kids took over and Bob had to come back to save the Company! He is very honest and is the first to tell you, that they spoiled the kids on purpose....the "kids" are in their 60's and are not going to change their life style any time soon!
Bob goes, the Company goes!

How do you like the Tri? Have a 07' Classic Trike, after market...been thinking of a new one.

Can't say that I have seen this on a RV before. To me, they don't enhance the look of the coach...ugly!

Herman. A crap shoot. 50/50 Electrical or Mechanical! Like you, it's amazing that we move the house and things (most of the time) still work!!!

Silver Leaf Resort in Buckeye. Nice people, quiet, pool, etc., close to markets and shops. Was there in 12' for 2 weeks and would go again.

Gary, I was lucky in my second hand Tradition and not getting rid of it anytime soon. It meets all my needs and the floor plan is perfect!
Your dead on right and it will be a long time until we get the kind off quality we had and got used to having before 06' !!!Carl C.

Where are you at? Any good after market 4x4 shops in your area? You could check with Remco for a drive shaft disconnect, then transfer case in N.

Update: Have not heard from Bill but an article in FMCA magazine September 2013, informs me that Direct TV is a Traveler SK-3005, with 5 LNB's so it can access any Direct TV satellite....I only have 3!
Desertdeals69, you where right! Sorry for the tunnel vision!
