Better photo of the flap

The only beach trip we have for this year is NJ, Columbus Day weekend. We went to Myrtle last July, it was nice but so is Maryland and much closer . wife and kids go to Disney once a year, I go every other. They will stay at one of the hotels, almost never one of the ones we own....go figure. the points for 5 would be high, we have added on several times over the years, once you are a member you keep getting great deals and it becomes easy to go and add on. We have also done their cruises twice, kids love it, wife and I prefer to explor and not be couped up on a ship. wife is from MD, I'm from PA. We have been at their campground on a few holidays and saw the decorations.

Fuel cooler installed. If you look closely you can see my mudflap, I'm hoping it will direct air up and into the cooler.

Follow Brett's advice on that. Very well explained. I read some where they were installing filters on the end of the tube. I strongly do not recommend doing that. When it clogs it will most like vent via a seal and cause an oil leak, if your lucky that's all the only damage that will occur. No restriction in that hose and your engine will thank you.

The people that stay for the major holidays go all out with the decorations. Neat place, enjoy!!

You can transfer your points to the campground. We have done it a few times over the years. Since it's not your "home resort" you can only book it 7 months in advance, that's really the only down side to it.

Wow, great story! $2800 glad I have good insurance.

I bet that was one expensive piece of glass. our coach has a marking on it "made in Italy". Makes me cringe at the thought

Wow, OK makes sense.

Glad you are all fixed up!!

How many batteries are on that unit? 300 amps is a lot! Our tractors at work are 160 with 4, 31 group batteries. Sure hope that lasts long, sounds expensive.

Ernie, since you are the Blue Bird enthusiast I am curious..... and you are probably the only one that can help me understand. Why the bulk oil filter and the oil cooled alternator? The reason I ask is I am surrounded by Detroit power at work Series 50's, Series 60's, DD11 and DD13 (different application) but none the less. It would appear to me that these were Blue Bird designs and I was curious as to why? First instinct tells me lack of air circulation which is understandable. Rich could use that alternator design on his to help with the overheating problems he has faced and overcome. Just curious. Thank you

Mike, Nice set up! My wife is currently shopping for a new 4 dr Jeep.

Puff, thank you...I will pass it on.

Ray, what system do you have? My friends 05 Tiffin has a quirky problem, when his side cameras are connected none of the camera's work, when the sides are disconnected he is able to use the rear.

Kay, the Magma set shipped yesterday. We like totes or milk crates for the basement. Kitchen drawers have dividers and we use the plastic divider trays to organize, you can purchase at any kitchen store. Between the stacked pots and pans we use something like this between each pan so they don't scratch. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/the-original-cookware-guards-set-of-2/1018914140?skuId=18914140&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_cookware_&adpos=1o1&creative=43742634349&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&product_id=18914140&gclid=CJ6j557E3M4CFVBbhgodFbENaA Spices, I have these inside of the door's on one cabinet http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/262237941462?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true They are just peel and stick. Remember keep the heavy stuff low.

I was reading my coach window sticker yesterday and noticed that the mud flap in question is an option, not standard $735.00 option in 2002 on my coach. Which would make me think its not necessary for anything other than blocking debris from the drive tires that the 1st flaps miss and of course appearance.

Dave, on mine you have to slide the generator out, they are above it near the dash blower motor at about 11:00. I believe in 03 both of our coaches were made by the same company. Could be slightly similar.

We've all been there. I bumped mine flipped it back, in the interim the relay went bad. I forgot about me bumping it (3 weeks had passed) and I was going crazy with a volt meter trying to figure it out.

Haha, mine "turn left, why did you go this way"? You told me to turn left..."well I meant right, you should know better!"

Well I'm looking forward to in one day in the near future.

HayesFamily, we are DVC members, and live about 1.5 hrs north of you. Kids are in high school now so we do not go that time of year. Otherwise I would say "see you there!!" Is this your first Disney trip?

Do you have any water coming into the coach to the interior faucets? Simple test, swing the valve to the horizontal position, go inside an open a faucet, no water, the valve is directing the water elsewhere, if you have water pressure the valve is broken and not switching to tank fill. Hard to tell but it looks like there is a pressure regulator on the inbound hose, is that blocking all flow if you have no water anywhere?

I have the same valve on my coach. We have a label on it "swan quick fill" the UP position (as in the photo) will send water to the coach for normal usage. Horizontal will fill the tank. I wonder if the valve is broken? On ours it just has a Pex line going into the top of the fresh tank and another going into the coach somewhere. We also have a tank fill with a cap you can unscrew and just lay a hose in and turn on. Herman....I've got to hear that story
