Carl, I think is to rate a persons comment, love it or not. I pressed it on your post above, now I heart you!

I just scrolled threw a few posts, everyone's signatures are missing, it's not just us. Maybe they are still working the bugs out? We had a software update at work November 15th. It's still messed up

Hmm, hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it! mine is gone also.

Cheryl, I second Bills recommendation above. We stayed at Cherry Hill also. We didn't do the Vip tour, just added it to my bucket list, thanks Bill. We rode the Metro (DC area public transportation) they have a bus stop in the campground, the campground will tell you everything you need to know so you can ride public transportation around, we did it and had a great time! We liked that campground so much i wouldn't consider another when we do it again. We also never felt like we were in a bad area for our safety, at the time my kids were 10 and 12. I have a question, why the hotel stay?

Bill yes, but oddly it seems to run better. I drove it for the first time tonight, we have a hill not far that I usually pull at 45 with my foot in it, tonight I topped it at 57. Could just be the outside temps are in the 40's so the colder air played a part in it. I wanted to see how loud it was with the engine brake on and to see if my DW was going to have a problem with it, we love the silence while driving, and I didn't want to give that up. It has a deep tone and when your in the throttle if you listen I can hear the throaty sound., but it doesn't catch your attention. Since it's so far behind me it's a faint sound, I can still whisper up front and my wife will be able to hear me. So no saying anything under my breath! With the engine brake on high coming through town between the buildings it sounds like a semi with straight pipes, but with the volume turned down, if that makes any sense, so not annoying but it sounds like it means business. I'm happy with it and the out of pocket was good also. I finished it off with this: http://mbrpexhauststore.com/t5074-mbrp-6-tip-dual-wall-angled-5-inlet-12-length-t304-ss

Carl, lol! My email is blowing up everytime someone posts anything I have commented on before. It's pretty annoying. Especially when I delete them on my phone then up I have to go to a PC and do it all over again.

Concern: certain notifications are blocked from me changing, why?

Nice car!

Not yet, I seasoned it Saturday

ObedB, Do you have full paint? If you get on the web and you see the guys post to rub it with Crisco, keep looking...... Still one of my favorites from Facebook, geeze. I have a product I bought from Hershey two-three years ago and used it on the old coach (gel coat, no paint) and it worked great, spray on wipe off. I will have to look around I might still have it (bottle was almost full). You are welcome to it if you want to give it a try.

Your Welcome! enjoy your motorhome!

The only reason I would not revert back is....if you do you just threw out the reason for the synthetic oil in the first place and wasted the money. The confusing part to most is there was a myth a while ago that they are not compatible. In short the synthetic products are just better refined, with more comprehensive additive packages over conventional oils. In the RV industry I consider the engines in a Gas unit working hard or in a more "Severe Duty cycle", considering this I would run only full synthetic oils in the powertrain (exception; transmission, Follow Fords Specific oil recommendation and product, this oil is like no other, you will know once you smell it ) your rear axle is equipped from the factory with full synthetic oil. Some manufactures recommend running full synthetic oil after your first oil change, they want fast break in. So at 5500 miles this is where I would begin my change over, understand it might take a few change intervals to get all of the oil residue out, but again no issues with it, you are at a good starting point. Has it ever had the oil changed before? You can tell by the filter, if it has a bar code sticker on a Motorcraft filter its the factory filter. Either way I would make the transition now, doesn't matter but just curious. I second Bills Grease recommendation, that is the product I use. The old saying comes to mind "pay me now or pay me later" high quality products now should make the "later" less painful or push it out farther. Double check the generator model and report back, you can call Onan at 1-800-888-6626 for their tech support to help you with an oil choice. I have in the past for coolant recommendations for ours and they were very helpful. Your factory fill was a synthetic blend, just in case you were wondering; https://www.fordparts.com/Products/Chemicals-MotorOils.aspx Joe

epstep, two different answers, first what make/model generator do you have? Coach engine; (V10) I would use Mobil one full synthetic or Motrocraft OEM oil with a Motorcraft oil filter (Probably an FL820S filter) you can pick up a Motorcraft filter at any Ford dealer or Wal-Mart also carries them. I wouldn't recommend any other filter especially since you are most likely still under Ford warranty. Here is your oil and coolant spec and capacity: Item Specification Fill Capacity — — Motorcraft® Gold Antifreeze/Coolant Concentrated VC-7-B (US); CVC-7-B2 (Canada) WSS-M97B51-A1 25.9L (27.3 qt) Motorcraft® SAE 5W-20 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil (US); Motorcraft® SAE 5W-20 Super Premium Motor Oil (Canada) XO-5W20-QSP (US); CXO-5W20-LSP12 (Canada) WSS-M2C945-A 6.6L (7.0 qt) with filter When Synthetics first came onto the market if you switched back and forth on occasion you would get an oil leak (late 80's early 90's, people blamed it on the oil switch over, but was it caused by that, who knows). I have made this switch before and never experienced any issues with newer engines, I wouldn't be concerned with what oil they previous owner used.

I had this one (link below) older version but it worked great. With the residential refrigerator and universal trays work fine. http://www.edgestar.com/IP210SS-Stainless-Steel-EdgeStar-Portable-Ice-Maker/IP210SS,default,pd.html

Ok, thanks guys. I was hoping for some real world experience. Hopefully the Intestate wet cells I have now (4, 6volts) will give me a few more years.

Hemigpa, welcome!

We have these from Kool RV. The previous owner had it outfitted with them over all wheels and windshield. http://koolrvsunscreens.com Positive: easy to install Negative: button snaps on the exterior of the body

I have given this some thought. Anyone running AGM house batteries? My experience with these was only in the chassis side and was very limited to meetings complaining about the performance. The issue my old employer had was AGM batteries discharge in stages not like a wet cell, and they experienced over temp issues during charging. They experimented with several different manufactures and those were the complaints. One in particular was when they would discharge in steps in stead of gradually. We had starters that would not respond with 11.5 volts on a DVOM, where a wet cell would crank slow and you might have some hope, the AGM left you stranded. As I said I have no personal experience with them. I have been considering switching when it's time and just wanted to hear real world experience in a house battery sitiuation.

Magnaflow muffler is now installed, I have to locate a new chrome exhaust tip tomorrow to finish it off. Original muffler had three holes in it the size of two fingers two were pointed up one pointed down and the mounting straps were cutting through it. It was hollow inside also, just with two 180 degree turns before exiting (exhaust path was an S inside) That should help keep temperatures back there lower. Sound; no louder than it was just a little more throaty sounding.

Widewader, you can order the "goose eggs" and brackets from this website. http://www.kileymold.com/ I have one on the front and rear of our coach, proud to be a member.

Herman, I have seen a few with ratchet binders thrown around the trailer before at a CG in Maryland .....and a few that needed a ratchet binder wrapped around the trailer also to keep them in. Same place, we also watched a guy and his DW bring their slide in with two of them (trailer again), that was entertaining, especially with all of the cracking and popping sounds. ObedB, call Tiffin and ask them how to adjust it. I have often wondered how that is accomplished, I am sure someday I will need to know myself.

We have carpet and heated tile, I like the feel of the carpet but I will say when its time to replace it I will most likely not have carpet reinstalled. I will also heat the remaining area of the floor, I do not like cold feet.

Bill, I do that every time I walk into a parts store. Like a kid in a candy store.
