Bill, I use this one, if you have the space they work great, I am trying to make space and these take up so much. My goal is to keep the hose and the water filter in the wet bay. http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/white-never-kink-rv-marine-hose-50-x-5-8-/26451 Great hose, I have two different lengths (25' and 50') it just takes up too much space. I use the Camco quick connects for all of my connections. http://www.etrailer.com/Plumbing/Camco/CAM20143.html?feed=npn&gclid=CNzF4buKxswCFQ9Zhgodh2cOgA

Rick, you can post photos in the gallery section, and copy and paste the link on here, I gave up on trying to post photos on the forum. I did get your email and responded to you.

Anyone using this hose at this time? if so can you provide some feedback? https://www.apexhose.com/zero-g-rv-marine-hose Two of us on here have been considering the purchase of this but do not want to spend the money for another "snake oil" gimmick. My current traditional white RV hose is huge when rolled up and takes up too much space. Looking for alternatives. Thank you

Carl, I second Brett's idea and Kay's. could just be as simple as the battery is tired or a connection has become a problem. Wave; I usually wave to fellow motorhome's passing me, especially when I see an FMCA goose egg. In CG's I will often talk to fellow motorhome folks, if you haven't noticed I like to talk .

This is exactly how I run ours! At a 1/2 I ask the DW to look ahead for the best bargain on fuel with gas buddy app. She tells me what is ahead and I make the decision where to stop. I also try to keep it full for the reason Brett mentioned, the fuel tank gets hot with returned fuel from the engine which will create more condensation in the tank and also for weight distribution. I have a 14,600lb steer axle, my fuel tank runs parallel to it (just behind the axle, genset hangs out in front of it) my holding tanks are just in front of the drive axle, due to the high capacity of the steer axle I try to keep weight up there for handling. I also do not like to run below 1/2 since our last coach, you had to be careful, if you went below 1/2 your distance was not good, and you had a great chance at running out of fuel, especially when you could watch the gauge drop if you sunk your foot into it.

rdjl972 sending you a PM with my email. I will send you photos of my set up from Monaco, maybe it will help put things into perspective. Can you put spacers behind the rollers on each side and maybe tack weld a shim so it stays square?

I have worked on many Dodges with Cummins power, the engine layout was different than any medium duty truck/RV engine, including the color of the paint. The block and head appeared to be about the only common component, everything hanging off of that looked different. I suspect most items hanging off of the pick up was Dodge, the items on the medium duty engine are all Cummins.

Well...look at the positive side....at least we all are happy chatty, not tearing each other up like the other RV forums, I guess

Gary, do your self a favor, run water through it. Often we read about the horror the first time water gets connected. Try it on the pump and city connection. Most dealers do not test this at PDI in service.

Yup, Halmark reminds me every year. Lol

Yup, Happy wife happy life! I planned this well, or so I tell myself.. Our anniversary is Valentine's Day, I kill two birds with one stone twice a year,

We met a couple a few weeks ago, he unhooked his Jeep in his driveway on a hill and the Jeep started to roll away, he grabbed the bumper and held on like he was skiing down the hill, gave up before it crashed into a tree. His version was hilarious when he told it, as I read this it doesn't sound so funny. The last thing I unhook is the emergency breakaway, if it's gong to roll it won't go far when I yank that out.

Bill, her birthday is Friday on top of Mother's Day. I'm sure she will guilt me into something

Wow, yea you get it! Are they cracking? I actually thought about doing that just as a precaution. My main hose from the pump to the tank is too long and has a slight kink in it. I was suprised it was still very flexible for its age. I repositioned the fittings to remove most of the kink. I did replace all of the fuel lines 2 yrs ago after the last debacle. Too bad we are not closer, I would love to see how that goes. My hair last night was matted to my head from the dripping. The things we get ourselves into! Good luck, when it gets too frustrating walk away. The one take away from my fuel lines, route them better than the factory, mine were chaffed all over the place and laying on components that get hot from the factory.

Haha, that's my story also, if she reads this it was nice knowing you guys

I worked on my old bosses 1994 Beaver Patriot when I worked at the last dealership. His furnace would intermittanly work and I found the same, just dirty connections, I remember cleaning the board connections with a pencil eraser. It fixed it, I loved that coach actually enjoyed working on it.

Thanks Brett! I will say after crawling around back there I see some things that will need attention in the future. Both hard lines on top of the compressor looked rough. I have to pull the floor and see where they go. I now see what has to be done to access items back there, no fun!

Same here, and I negotiated them on the rate (can't remember the rate). I sold cars for a year back in the 90's, I remember how it all works.

It's fixed! Filled the hydraulic tank, started it up, light went out on its own. I scanned it, cleared the code, ran it for 45 minutes, rescanned it no pending codes. Rechecked my work and put my tools away. Today is a good day despite the weather! thanks for the help Rich!

Keith, thank you for the website information. I just liked it on Facebook. It tends to be a struggle, most places will tell you it will fit, but you can't get to it for one reason or another until you try which is frustrating.

Never been to Ocean Lakes or Pirate Land. We stayed at Lakewood, never again! The drunken golf cart races through campsites (attended campsites) across peoples patio mats was enough for us (right in front of security, they did nothing about it) . That place left such a bad taste for us I am not sure if I would ever go back to MB. Yes the sites were dirt and sand with grass.

webslave, Good to know how much diesel your AH burns. I get asked often what MPG I get, between the generator, Aqua Hot and coach engine that is really hard to determine. I calculated it on a few trips and it varies so much due to wind direction and terrain, I gave up! I just filler up when it get around a half tank or headed home and its going to sit. I have noticed the AH system runs significantly less in an hour compared to a propane furnace since the residual heat is still present at the heat exchangers and the electric side is trying to maintain that as well.

wingardc, glad to hear! Wish you luck with your new coach!

I only reason I have the black vinyl nose bra to cover over the ugly 3M shield on the front that is long over due to remove....by the way its coming off the 1st week in June. I will see how it looks after to determine if the vinyl one goes back on or not. Bill, the key to keeping the front free from stone damage is keep your distance from the vehicles in front of you, especially large trucks. You must drive like I do, rarely have anything hit the front. The coach in this video looks like its new compared to mine.
