Nice recommendation! Photos and pricing were very attractive, up in these parts that would be $90.00 per night!

BUILDING RV PAD / TEXAS HILL COUNTRY
jleamont replied to eric@babin.com's topic in General Discussion
New England X3 above what he tells you. Nothing is cost effective up there. -
Carl, that's the 1000 Allison series behind the Duramax.

Ed, While I cannot speak to March we did spend sometime in William AZ a few years ago in December and a few years prior in July. We really liked the town and while there we stayed here; http://www.thetrain.com/lodging/rv-park-location/ The train ride if you haven't done it was a lot of fun. The town of Williams was nice to walk around and check out the store fronts. I remember having a milkshake at a malt shop that looked like you fell back into the 50's. I could have sat there all day and took it in. It was called Twisters Soda Fountain and here is the link; http://www.route66place.com/

YUP, nice place! If you leave from there and decide to take public transportation to the River Walk, call a cab. We took the bus and it routes into a bad part of town, we took a cab home and it was well worth the extra $25.00.

Toyo310, Here is the cause of failures that I have experienced. Solenoids fail or lighten up on application pressures which cause slippage and burn up clutches. In My experience this has always happened around 80-100,000 miles. They are notorious for internal wiring chaffing against the pan, external wiring issues and Transmission Control Module failures are also fairly common. On a good note you can purchase a remanufactured 2500 for $2300.00 which in the transmission world is pretty inexpensive.

Larry, I was able to sign on today with my phone and so far no EX-1 warning. Fingers crossed

Edwardvan00, I like that, nice work!

Darn young whipper snappers

Clint, welcome to the FMCA forum! Here is a post on plate mounting. I have one on the front (PA does not require a front license plate) and on ladder mounted. The ladder mounts sit back to allow room for the ladder to be used.

PEI? I'm stumped on that one and I travel to New England often for work.

Carl, same here in PA, I had to bring my Birth Certificate to renew. From what I read its all part of the Real Id program.

Kay, I cannot count how many investigations I have been involved in with "wheel off's", its common practice for most "tire experts" to mess up and improperly install, either not torqued properly or the hub flange is cruddy, either way they almost always result in a wheel off at some point. RayIN, I would consider that if the old design had enough power to do what this Kobalt can do. I have an newer Snap on 3/8 cordless that has more power than that old 18V 1/2" drive.
-
Good to know!! Already a better deal, technology has come a long way with battery powered tools! Kay, don’t forget to recheck you wheel Torque after 100 miles. Recommended by most wheel manufacturers and a good best practice to follow.
-
Kay, works for me! Thank you!! I currently have the Snap on version which is in need of new batteries and it’s an older snap on model (from 2004) that doesn’t have that much power. I was going to replace the batteries but those alone cost more than the Kobalt
-
Kay, great review and thank you for posting it. Any issues getting it into the drive axle lugs with the hub and axle so close? My concern, when you use an extension on an impact gun it lowers the Torque rating at the socket.

I have used Hankook on several jeeps and numerous different work trucks over the years, never had an issue with them in any of the applications, from over the road trucking to construction vehicles.

I believe so, but the ISX is an ISX, HP is all software and fuel injectors. They all had Ceramic Plunger failure's in the fuel injection pump that would send pieces of ceramic through the oil system destroying the engine.

Herman, they are 12 volt ignition and Propane, extremely Efficient, more than the traditional water heater in an RV. -

hdflsts2002, that one in ours allows for 4 people to take back to back showers, usually we almost fill the gray tank (85 gallon capacity) and NO one gets a cold shower, if its cold enough outside my roof vent looks like this -
That was the ISX, HP didn't matter, they all had problems, some worse than others.
-
YUP, no internal repairs were made, just a warning devise of some sort was installed if it actually had the recall completed (I think it was a light to detect excessive crankcase pressure). Every once in a while you hear of one come apart, it always makes you wonder if it was related or not. Me personally I'd use it as a bargaining tool or if you are a worry wart, walk away. If you are armed with knowledge you can really use it to your advantage!

That was the best part SILENCE

hdflsts2002 Welcome to the FMCA Forum! We had a tankless in our last coach made by Precision Temp, it was the RV500 model which has now changed to the RV550. It was fantastic, I cannot say enough good about it. I called it the marriage saver 500 . My wife warned me the day we picked up the coach at the dealership, the first cold shower the coach was gone. She loves long hot showers and the 6 gallon Atwood this replaced was only good for maybe 4 minutes of HOT water before it started to slide into warm water. We never camped with the 6 gallon, I was warned when we first bought the coach, so I tested it several times in the driveway and pulled it out when I realized it was'nt going to hold up to her standards. I actually installed their "Tiny House" tankless into our current coach along side of the Aquahot system which is only used for interior heat now, another story, it works flawlessly also. https://precisiontemp.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-4n33YOi4AIVhFqGCh2UaAIDEAAYAiAAEgLHIvD_BwE -
I agree, the commercials were and have been lacking over the last few years!
