  1. Rich, lifted up what part of the rug that I could and it's concentrated by the sub floor. It's doing a job on my tile...6", then 4", then 1" 1/2 rest of way in. I'm going to clean it up, including tile & pull slide in then out & see what happens.

    nighthawk. If it's super mouse, I will give it a forwarding address! LOL :lol::wacko:


  2. Had Progressive, National and Allstate.... good, now expensive, somebody's got to pay for all the TV commercials! Now have Bluesky with disappearing deductible. No claim yet.

    Note: If someone hits you, use their insurance (if they have it) or your rates will go up until you have paid your insurance company back! My truck got "keyed" and USAA paid claim, my rate went up on renewal. Still use USAA on my toad and other cars/truck, also house.

    There are lots of "life insurance company's" that deal in RV insurance also! I and most of my friends don't have life insurance, but they use them for RV's.


  3. Your right, Bill! Nice thing about a MH is that we can get off the road and sit the bad stuff out and move around in dry comfort! Not so with a trailer, stay in truck or get wet on journey to trailer....He! He.

    Back to passing. Herman and Tom are spot on. In town on 2 lane roads and speed limits of 35 or 40, I take the left lane. On 3 lanes or more, I follow Tom!

    Stay safe, we are not in a sport's car and it's the journey that counts!


  4. Hi Lucky. I cruise at 63/64 mph, coach is 2010 Tradition, 45' with 4 slides, 2009 Cummins 425, Allison 3000...I run mostly in economy mode and put 16,000+ miles on coach last year. Toad is a Jeep Wrangler 2 door @ 3,900 pounds, coach is 60,300+/-....I get the same as Herman, 6.8 - 7.2 and I run generator when driving and Aqua Hot when I shower or do dishes. All electric coach!

    That's my 2 cents, another person could get more or less...we are all different ( :rolleyes: ).

  5. The last time my DPF light came on, I was on I-10 west of Houston. I maintained 63mph on cruise control and my engine diagnosis showed that exhaust #1 was at 650+/- and #2 was flexing between 1100-1200 degrees. It took the usual 15 minutes and happens at 2500-3000 miles. After 15 minutes the light goes out and the temperature on #2 exhaust is at around 650.

    My 425 Cummins is a 09'.

    Cummins Houston, services my coach every 14,000+/- miles and last year, they got to do it twice!

  6. Herman. It looks fine...not my smart wheel, but I get the idea.

    The first time I had a "Smart wheel" was on a 06' Southwind. All other coaches, back to 1967, had a plain wheel...some had a button on floor that operated the high beam! :rolleyes: Sure do love the new wheels :wub:


  7. George.

    As a Life member of the NRA, I do have and do travel with a weapon in the lower 48. I have found that I do not need one in Canada, therefore I abide by their laws. When I go into Canada or Mexico, I leave my weapon or weapons with a gun smith in the area I cross, then I call same when I get ready to enter the US. He/she gives me a gun shop where I can pick it up and normally it goes Fed Ex! I always pre pay...never have had a problem.

    Note: Make sure weapon is un loaded and do not leave any ammo in coach!!! :rolleyes: You can get more ammo later...I carry a clip.

    Happy trails. :)


  8. Jack, truckers do. They, like us, are looking for any indication that tells them it's safe to come back in...I generally use my head lights. I use clearance lights on/off in low light condition.

    On my coach, it's all on steering wheel.

  9. Ray, I hope you get a response and if you do please share.

    I think we all have had our close run ins, but I still find it about 70% of truckers are courteous. I run with my head and fog lights on, I have a light dimmer switch on my steering wheel and use it most of the time when trucks pass me. Also use my safety blinkers when a truck lets me know I can come back in after passing. I mostly use my rear camera and know when I'm clear, but I still acknowledge.

    There are some drivers out there, that I have no clue how they got a license....most trucks that I have had a problem with is FedEx and NAFTA!
