  1. Glad you can remove yours from the housing. Mine is all one piece. The replacement K&N you have to cut the element out of this housing .

    Body Side Trim

    Jim, how is the trim attached. I can see a fine silicone joint but I can't help but think there is something else holding it down. I did consider pulling the closet wall and peeking in.

    Body Side Trim

    I have what appears to be a screw that has backed out under the exterior wall pushing on the fiberglass. It always had a dimple there, but it looks like it grew. At first I thought water, but all seams are sealed and tight. It looks like if I remove the trim I might be able to correct and reglue the fiberglass skin. Any idea how that trim comes off?
  4. Bill, the only benefit is overall cost. You pay more up front and wash and re-oil after, that is where the savings come in. You will not see a power increase with one despite their advertising. The engine can only handle so much air and the stock filter is more than adequate for that on a large diesel application. I have seem a few dusted engines because of their filters, now was it not oiled properly or just allowing too much dirt in, who knows.....The risk doesn't out weigh the benefit...wait there is no benefit other than cost over time. The only time I have ever heard of a vehicle performing better is when the air box is undersized from the manufacture, but changing the filter alone isn't going to help in that situation. Most modern engines have mass air flow sensors on them which will only allow so much in based off of software, even with no filter it doesn't matter. In summary unless its a heavily modified race engine that can take more air and is overhauled frequently its not worth the upfront cost and risk.
  5. Just what you need, another trailer
  6. We stayed in that area for a week over the summer, nice area, we really liked Sanibel Island. We stayed in Port Charlotte FL and drove to Sanibel in the Toad. I was planning on staying at Red Coconut RV resort in FT Myers, but changed our plans to Myakka River RV resort due to the space concerns at Red Coconut. Are there any beach front campgrounds down there?
  7. I got to play with one from this company back in 2013, pretty neat, you can slide the axle forward and backwards to adjust the tongue weight. http://tandem-tow.com/index.html
  8. Glad to know we are not alone and have the exact conversation as you did up here in the North East on a regular basis.
  9. OH YEA!! That's also the reason I only run Fleetgard filters, the aftermarket are slightly less $$ also slightly different spec, just not worth the risk!
  10. Be careful if you have Aqua Hot, blowing air through one will not remove all water (I actually read this in the manual ). I use the pink RV antifreeze, just cheap insurance if you live in a climate that drops below freezing. One of the only manuals I have read front to back, didn't retain much but I remember that part
  11. Mine also, its $180.00 for a new one. I change it every other year regardless of mileage. Replaced the filter minder this year, kept sucking closed even with a new filter, just worn out.
  12. Do you have a wall slide behind the driver? It could be blocked off i.e. a bolt installed on the seat track to stop it from going back farther to prevent an error while closing the slide with the seat all the way back. I would take a peek under the seat, maybe snap a photo or two and post them on here.
  13. Post a photo of the light in question, most are bought from the automotive world and put on RV's. Perhaps someone could identify it?
  14. Brett, thank you! anyone have experienced off of I40 onto TX60 to 84 to NM70 into Roswell NM. GS trip planner is routing us that way
  15. Blake, never heard of the caverns. Just passed that onto my DW, thanks!! We detoured to San Antonio in December 2013 spent a few days there while Dallas was under ice. We had a good time touring the area.
  16. Interesting, when most RV dealers and over 90% of the campgrounds I have been to have no idea what family motorcoach is I beg to differ. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where the problem resides. Mentioned on one of the other posts regarding this ludicrous proposal..when I book a reservation I ask if Family Motorcoach members get a discount, only two times in 8 years I was told yes, the other times, I either get silence then NO or I have never heard of that...we do except Good Sam. The other problem, the FMCA commercial Campgrounds we have been through (never stayed) are run down dumps, that in of itself will tarnish the name. Being a part time RV family I have only toured 4, all in the North East and they were scary. Recap and let this sink in.. if RV dealers and Campgrounds haven't heard of the organization how is prospective members ever going to?? Yea, I know Ross speak to people while camping, I do it and I went as far as day one I always where my FMCA polo shirt. One person here and there isn't the impact needed. It just scratches the surface. I have to agree with Smitty, Rvillage was a shot to get the name out there, better gamble then doing nothing. Personally I think knocking on campground and dealer doors would be more beneficial but the unfortunate part of that, they won't promote it without something for them, it's the world today
  17. Now you have sparked my interest. I might have to buy some and give it a try. We only use butter EVO and coconut oil for cooking, crisco for baking. No fake butter in this house. If I can't interpret the indgredients it doesn't come home, I read every label.
  18. See, you should have come up here..there is a farm near Dougs house that sells it. You get too low let me know, I'll bring some next June
  19. Gasser, ok...cable slides NOT on my coach
  20. Herman, biscuits in a tube/box, shaking my head . I make them from scratch, Carl I use shortening and real butter, roll them up and put in the refrigerator in the coach for trips....well haven't made any since last Christmas
