    He said it cranks, will not start. I have seen fuse box problems cause that, which in turn shuts the fuel pump down and or will not power up the powertrain control module, the dead giveaway if the PCM has power is the Service engine soon light, illuminating when the key is on. Neutral safety switch cuts the starter off, so no crank/no start would be the complaint.

    Five, we run the Rotella T5 10w30 at work, better fuel economy.

    YUP, just like most, people flock to them with a wallet in hand.

    YUP, same here!

    Mike, if you have electric, turn on the furnaces in addition to what you have already done. I have experienced temps dropping into the freezing point over night, never had a problem, for a few days I wouldn't want to risk it to save $20.00 on RV antifreeze.

    Dons, you sure about that? My friend just had his checking repaired on his Tiffin, just the paint and only on the black and charcoal gray stripes. Mine is just like yours, you have to be very close to see it.

    Mike, a good point that emphases oil sampling. I run this oil (link below) in the coach and generator, now my generator on average only gets around 100 hours per year, I pull a sample and change it every fall before it gets put away for the winter. Oil samples on the coach and generator have not shown any viscosity breakdown what so ever and the coach in 2016 ran 14,000 miles. http://rotella.shell.com/products/t5.html

    Fuses 3 and 10 under the dash operate the instrument cluster illumination, Fuse 8 is some engine controls.

    Jim, when the problem occurs, just prior to cranking the engine over does the engine light come on (this will tell me if the Powertrain Control Module is getting power)? Can you hear the fuel pump buzz (might need a helper to walk back near the rear wheels to listen). You could try the code reader route, let me know the code/codes you retrieve if any. I would carefully inspect the fuse boxes, one under the hood and one under the dash, look for water signs or loose connections, mostly at the power feeds. The one under the hood unsnaps from its mount, you should have enough wiring to be able to flip it over, unsnap the back protective cover and look inside for loose connections again.

    Really depends on personal preference. We only have an inline filter on the coach, but a softener system at the house. They do work but like everything else there is a cost for the luxury that you will have to balance out.

    Sean, when you say "no dashboard lights" do you mean nighttime illumination or no warning lights when you turn the key on? Just to be clear, when you turn the ignition on does the engine light and others light up?

    I have it on ours, but only on the black lines. Been that way since we have owned it (almost 4 years now) and who knows how long before. I had it looked at and was told not to worry about it, its only in the paint. I can have it fixed by sanding down the black lines and having them repainted, if it gets worse ill go that route.

    Rick, looks good! The stuff around the coach is my fear when we move in a few years. Rich, I couldn't give up a house for that very reason. Next place will have a garage large enough to house the coach.

    Bikeryder, post some photos of what you are considering. Ours is ugly also, it's on my list for this winter if the temps can get out of the teens . Im considering the look Blake has, even though we still have carpet I might just do the staircase in wood. My factory treads are lifting.

    Carl, only ever passed through Arkansas, never stopped. We stayed at the KOA in Nashville next to Yogi, absolutely the nicest KOA we have ever been too. The ladies at the pool (employees) were hilarious. They have wine tasting nightly at the pool, one for me and one for you is how it's dispensed, after an hour came the entertainment .

    Bill, thanks for the level of detail!! Wow!! From your recommendations I did book Oasis for one night on the return trip. DW wants to go back to the Big Texan. I'll check out the others.

    Skid Wheels

    jleamont replied to dbenoit's topic in Chassis

    David, you could still add air bags to the rear suspension along with an air compressor, mount a gauge and on/off switch to the dash area. Inflate when entering and exiting, deflate back to normal with a flip of a switch. We had wheels under the hitch of our last coach, I wished on many occasions I used the helper air bags in the rear like I described above. I even managed to get stuck once attempting to get gas, got hung up on a large wave in the parking lot picked the drive wheels off the ground . Funny now, wasn't then.

    Rich, my coach only has maybe 20 gallons or so of winter mix Diesel in it, plus a bottle of Power Service treatment and biocide. I'm betting it's cloudy . On a positive note I'm not turning on the key until March. With temperatures this low I won't exercise the generator or Aqua Hot, not until we get into the mid to upper 30's.

    Can't wait to see it light up! Just a note, that has got to be the best place I have ever seen the air brake governor mounted! Not sure what make/model coach you have but I can certainly tell what manufacturers it's not.
  20. jleamont
    Good idea Puff! 17 degrees here now. I'm making homemade chicken soup tomorrow and I plan on not doing much else but looking out the window at the snow falling
  21. jleamont
    Jim, you must have the same low air alarm we have . Ours has one alarm above the brake pedal that does them all. On our coach the following turn the stop engine light on; low coolant low oil pressure over engine temperature (coolant) i might be missing one more.
  22. jleamont
    Jim, glad you got it figured out. I was suspicious, usually low coolant will illuminate the STOP engine also. I am very familiar with that alarm in our HR, you can hear it from down the street

    Wouldn't the outcome be similar when grandpa tosses his stogie onto the ground near the coach...kinda like on Christmas Vacation when it hit the storm sewer
  24. jleamont
    Carl, I'll look into that, thank you. Also considering Asheville NC, since I will only have one day, Asheville doesn't seem practical.

    Friends...I just moved my question to this post since it is more appropriate. Moderator is on vacation, id prefer he enjoy that more than babysit all of us.
