, some people have no sense of humor

I’d like to say have it inspected, you could but understand they find faults that don’t exist so you have to take their reports with a grain of salt. We had terrible luck with dealers until we stumbled upon the one we bought from. My best recommendation, if you go to a dealer and the coach is dirty, walk away. Both times we bought they were pristine and they handed me a list of items that needed addressed. We negotiated through them and bought both times.

My tow bar is locked to the coach with locking hitch pins. Cables are mounted to the tow bar and so is the electrical cable (although the cable is easy to remove). Pins, I put them back into the tow bar and they are padlocked when parked. I padlock the Jeep to the tow bar if boondocking, (so it cannot be tampered with) otherwise I use the standard pins Bill described above. When at a campground everything is inside the Demco cover and zipped close, it all fits.

That cover and nut appears to only hold the simulator on. The factory lug nuts had a built in washer. Can you photo the wheel?

I do not recall all of the antennas we have tried in the past and there were several on the last coach. I can say without a doubt the old crank up bat wing gives the best reception so far. It worked great at our old house in PA and we were 40 miles from every TV station. I joked about installing one on the house chimney and dropping cable to save money.

YUP, no more winterizing also!

Best roadside assistance. Self insurance. You call a tire vendor and pay them upon completion IMHO. this way hasn’t let us down so far. None of the others are in it for you, they are a business protecting their bottom line PROFIT. That’s why most wait so long, your RS call goes to the lowest service provider in that area. if the job rate doesn’t meet their requirements, you are stranded and on your own anyway. Being in the trucking industry (fleet repair) we see it way too often.

Five, I agree. Emergency only. I refuse to move ours during the winter months. I also wait for a few soaking spring rains to wash all of the caustic junk off the roads before I consider moving it. Our regular vehicles only have a life span 6-8 years due to extreme rust and corrosion and they are paid off in 5. Can’t imagine that level of rust and corrosion on the coach, it would be devastating!!

I for one am not pro one manufacture vs another. I have had cheap Chinese to Michelin, no difference in the ride quality on a DP, the suspension blocks anything that the tire didn't, or on my chassis it does anyway.

Flashing usually means its damaging the emissions system, being gas the catalytic converters. Typically the system detects an engine misfire or over fueling.

Richard, your homemade pump/filter is a great idea! Either of the products above are good. The only reason I went with the link above, we had an underground tank at work that had water and it looked like Italian wedding soup in the bio diesel. Their products cleaned it up in 7 days. I was so impressed I splurged on their products. We had a company pump the water off the bottom first, their biocide all but dissolved the floaters. Keep us posted.

Richard, I had the same problem back in 2016. Biocide and swapping the primary fuel filter about every 5-800 miles. Took about 6 primary filters and it became clear. I bought the products through this company AFTER they resolved a serious inground tank bio/water issue at work. The "Tank Tonic" product killed and broke down the micro organism's and the primary filter trapped the leftovers. I ran their additive for two year afterwards to make sure it was clean, now I ONLY use an additive at every tank fill up. I run Diesel Kleen now due to the cost. https://www.diesel-mate.com/additive-package-and-specification-data.html You could have the tank polished, that's the quickest resolution but costly. I had a friend get bad diesel in Colorado last summer, he found a mobile truck repair that came to him on the road side, on a mountain and polished his tank for around $2000.00. Took a few hours and they were on their way up over the mountain.

12'5" and I always watch the signs and pre-plan my routing. When I see where a bridge is while planning I go to Google street view and read the sign. I had a campground in NY tell me "if we can get here with our trailer, you'll have no problems with a motorhome". Never went there, booked elsewhere!

Mike, to answer your question NO! I see "professional" trucker drivers doing similar stuff (just as dangerous) all the time.

Herman, ours airs up and down slow enough that you can use it as questioned, you might have to stop and set it again as it was raising. I have had to use it more than once for more clearance. I have aired it up (looked like a 4x4) and crawled out of gas stations and into campsites before so we wouldn't bottom out the rear.

Glad you are all fixed up!

Exactly!

Yup, that’s one way to fix the problem!

That’s great news….but. When you break down you will have to be towed into a Cummins authorized location. Then you’ll be at the mercy of their staff being aware of this change and hopefully they down load it properly, and again hopefully it actually works. Factory software changes are like a see-saw, something else will be changed, it always is and not disclosed. I can remember software changes in my dealer days and having people coming back screaming that their MPG’s were cut in half and the manufacturer denying it. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good thing if all of the dominoes fall properly.

Welcome! I almost bought a 1994 Marquis. Beautiful coaches those are!!

Sky, the magnets are in a pocket, they are not touching the glass directly, just the material.

Is the coach wired for 50 amp or 30? I.e. what plug do you have and what gauge power cord is it?

Understood, take your time and don’t push it. You should have the same lift pump that we once had. There are several spots for leaks to occur. My guess one of the banjo fittings or the motor portion is loose from the pump housing. Output side makes the most sense or you’d have a problem getting it started. That pump was buried on our ISL. Not fun to access!

Love it!! We have stayed at several places with a 10 year rule and we were well beyond the 10 year age. They all asked for pictures, no issues after that. We stayed and enjoyed!

Sorry for the redundant question, I was working out of pocket and for some reason signatures and how many posts a person has doesn't come over in Apple. Id pop the hatch open and snoop around, could just be a loose fitting that when the engine gets hot, it expands and leaks. Somewhere there has to be a trace of fuel, it should dry out that quick especially since its diesel fuel.
