  1. My biggest complaint with the Oxygenitics head was the lack of water. If you have thick hair it wouldn't penetrate to rise the soap out, which increased shower times. My DW said it best and stole my fire "I have gotten sprayed more walking past an animal display at the zoo than if I was standing under that". I bought a Moen and it does the trick, the Box stores sell an on/off valve that attaches inline at the handle should you want one.
  2. That would last me 2 days .
  3. Herman, NO, we have not received an email yet.
  4. I thought they all had Pre-Heat. Ours is a 100-01 (from 2001) and it has Pre-heat and the engine loop to heat the system while traveling.
  5. I had that same model in the video above, I returned it after my test run to see what it was like. When I returned it the guy told me "I will toss it in the pile of them I have in the back" . I went to Lowe's and bought one for a house, we prefer all the comforts of home while on the road. If I had it my way there would be a rain shower head on the wall and above for a good soaking.

    Parking Brake

    Glad to hear you are all fixed up. I experience this in the beginning of every season. This year it was not happening by rocking. I had to get my DW in the drivers seat, brakes released crawl underneath and tap the shoes with a hammer. I told her if the coach starts to move step on the brakes (engine was off). I had it on jack stands and wheels chocked but I wanted someone in the drivers seat just in case.
  7. I just read he passed. Can anyone confirm?

    Parking Brake

    brown774, has the coach been parked for a while? Probably the brakes are stuck to the drums. If you can safely crawl underneath and tap on the shoes, go back up inside and try and release them.
  9. 12K on a gas engine fuel filter, depending on what quality or blend of fuel is the best place to start. If that doesn't fix it time to dig deeper.
  10. Rich, I meant how many miles on the fuel filter, not the chassis.
  11. habaker, Welcome to the FMCA Forums! As mentioned, start with the fuel filter, any idea how old/miles are on it? That is by fr the cheapest check, I am surprised the shop didn't recommend that when they replaced the spark plugs.
  12. WOW. We tow a Jeep Wrangler and here is a breakdown of the costs; Base plate (when we had one) $250.00 part, $0 labor. Took me 45 minutes to install, very simple. Demco Commander tow bar, $650.00 (retail) M&G brake system, $700.00 with breakaway kit. $1600.00 down the road we go!
  13. The entire insurance industry is raising rates. Ours went up the end of last year, we shopped around and ours was still the cheapest. Its bankrupting the trucking industry and its being blamed on the cost of lawsuits which have multiplied significantly in the last few years.
  14. The photo with the stainless cover; the left hose looks like its chaffing on the cover and whomever installed that cover didn't do it properly, the hand holes are not aligned properly with the corresponding holes on the wheel cover.

    Unusual tire wear

    I would certainly take the unit to a frame shop for an alignment. I wonder what (if any) frame modifications were done by the coach manufacture. I good truck frame shop should be able to identify any defects in workmanship pretty fast.
  16. Brian, I have no experience with Crown batteries. I do have experience with Interstate, up until my last house batteries that experience was NOT good. However my wet cell 6V house batteries I had were around 7 years old when I upgraded them to Deka AGM's. I upgraded figuring I was on borrowed time but they still worked perfectly.
  17. Puff, have you tried it out to see how long? I only have one 2000 watt inverter, no solar and my refrigerator has ran over 8 hours without the auto start engaging the generator.
  18. That's a great deal! I haven't asked for anything yet but you just sparked my interest.
  19. No way! I am past the point of projects in my life.
  20. Saw this on Facebook and thought it was interesting enough to share. I would love to see some interior photos.
  21. I was thinking of him last night. Thank you for the update and please keep us posted.
