Roland, with the crushed shells is it dusty? Can you post photos?

Bill, the older Jeeps had to have the key one click forward as well, no dead batteries. Carl, M&G makes a brake system for the CRV. Of all vehicles ones that have dead battery issues sound like the best fit for that product!! Plus is a TRUE fully proportional system. I am not a fan of a charge circuit, one more thing to go wrong. the potential for pulling higher resistance through the trailer plug that is already a poor design and quality and you have to have a solid circuit protection for the coach just in case something goes wrong. Plus with coaches today that are equipped with AGM batteries (or changed over in my case) now you have one odd ball battery in the charging bank that’s a wet cell.

They also make Hardiboard for under tile for flooring and walls

Good to know, thank you

At the campgrounds restaurant?

We had a Blue Ox Patriot that was moved throughout several Jeeps, we traveled for days and never a dead battery. The battery in our current CRV and those jeeps we’re comparable in Amp hours and not one dead battery. In the CRV why is the key on acc while in tow? Would someone in a CRV benefit from a well designed system like M&G where no electronics or draw come into play?

Rich, you need new house batteries? I installed these two years ago; http://www.eastpennmanufacturing.com/applications/golf-carev/ Check around on pricing and PM me. if you want I can pick them up on my discount you could swing by and we could pop them in on your way to Perry.

Let us know what you think of it, photos would be fantastic also. We are planning another trip there and changing it up was a discussion.

This topic came up on another post on carrying extra fuel on board in cans, which lead into what is carried in a Diesel coach to prime fuel filters. I figured I'd share this to help others that are faced with that challenge. Not all engine are equipped with electric fuel pumps or manual hand primers, so this can be a challenge depending on your specific coach. I carry one of these and a plug for the center of the filter so I do not introduce unfiltered fuel into the engine, and of course a box of rubber gloves and all of the tooling to get the job done. I keep everything (tool wise) in a tote so it stays clean. https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Multi-Purpose-Hand-Fuel-Pump/dp/B0716YQ3RF I guess this wouldn't work on every DP due to fuel tank access on certain manufactures can be tough.

I guess I overthought this, I have a siphon device to drop into he fuel tank to fill my filters. good points!

I found this on the web; http://nasdonline.org/917/d000760/storing-gasoline-and-other-flammables.html

My only concern on a new can would be the sun building up pressure and the can exploding from no way to vent pressure. I know I have two of the new design cans and in the summer I have to manually vent them every so often or they start to turn round from excessive pressure build up, and those are stored in my garage. If it was just a short run to a gas station to fill them up and come back, my only concern is they would be properly secured in the back of the truck.

Thank you!

What kind of fuel, Diesel or Gasoline and where are they stored?

The pool was a blessing after spending a day walking around the French Quarter all day!

That's for sure! We went there after meeting up with Kay in Alabama over the summer a few years ago, it was muggy, really muggy. But its New Orleans, we still had a blast!

Yeah, I put it back on when I rejoined.

Let us know if you succeed in locating your glass and which one worked out best.

I saw that, I will say it was unusual, but I guess it really depends on where it was operated at. There is a lot of information on here. Keep us posted on your progress and should you have any questions you can search for topics already discussed, if you cannot locate anything related just start a new one. good luck and happy trails.

Cant speak to their chapter, but their web site looked really nice

https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/license-id/driver-licenses/new-drivers/Documents/commercial-driver-manual.pdf The link is for North Carolina. I have accompanied people in PA, I will say read the manual, especially understand the Pre-Trip inspection and memorize it, in PA they will require the driver to properly complete it, probably the same in NC as it is a Federal Law. They also asked both times if there was anything inside you need to check i.e. unsecured furniture, dishes, cabinet doors etc.....and both times they walked through the coach with the driver and he checked for any loose items that will come sliding forward or fall out while driving. And lastly, make sure you can properly operate the coach on the road, use your mirrors and pay special attention to warning signs, i.e bridge weight limits and height signs, once you cross over or under they will ask you what was that bridge height or what was that bridge weight rating.

I'm curious, is the discharge issue the supplemental brake system or the car?

astmi, here are a few options; https://www.rvglassexperts.com/ https://www.rvglassparts.com/ I have bought a new side window slider portion from these folks. https://www.customglasssolutions.com/about/news/guardians-custom-glass-solutions-launches-new-website-to-serve-rv-owners/ https://nationwidervglass.com/

it worked! Welcome to the FMCA Forums!

Looks like a nice place!
