    Jim, I looked through my phone (yeah, I actually have a list of serial, parts and phone numbers in the note pad) I didn't save those. Probably since they are embossed onto the drums. I also put larger brakes on the rear which changed the drum part number. I also do not have the RR8R chassis so that might throw a curve into your issue. I have the side radiator and the older chassis which is an RM8H. 

    Just tell them it doesn't matter if they screw onto the hubs. You can also call Gunite and have them cross those over if you should strike out, my rear drums are Gunite and it came with Webb from the factory.

    If you are installing them, just remember to turn the hub so one the drum landing is at 12:00, that will insure the drum is center onto the hub. That is all the screws do is make certain the drum is centered to the hub.Then install the wheel and torque it.

    Jim, I replaced the drums on my Roadmaster 3 years ago. The factory drums from Webb were several hundered dollars over the aftermarket from Webb. Literally the only difference was the factory ones are screwed to the hub, the aftermarket are not and were balanced. Being in the trucking industry I took the number off of the drums and called Webb tech support and the ones I purchased were an option that was much more cost effective. A local Truck parts house had them in stock.

    Here is the contact number;

    On the older F53 there is another option that might actually work on your year as well.

    Foot on the brake

    Turn the ignition to ON (do not attempt to crank the engine)

    Back the ignition off one click (there is a detent you will feel)

    Shift the transmission into Neutral

    Start the engine

    Shift into drive or reverse and go on your way.

    This summer we will be driving our motorhome  from Kansas City to Reno. We are trying to decide whether to take I 80 or take I70 through Denver and pick up Rt 50 in Salina. Our question is about driving conditions like terrain, road condition and traffic and views from the road. Rt 50 from Salina to Reno looks like 2 lane, has anyone had any issues with that stretch? Thanks, Denny Pearson. ( We are new members & this is our first post to the forum, let us know if we doing something incorrectly)

    Welcome to the FMCA forums! Your first post looks good. I would recomend creating a personal signature with your coach information for future help.

    What type of unit do you have, Diesel Pusher, Gas and will you be towing or not? Another good question, do you have brakes on your car in tow? Colorado can be tricky with mountains and switchbacks.

    That's odd. Almost everywhere we stay 50 amp service is available. We mostly stay at private CG's.

    So do we, in fact I can count on one hand how many State or Federal parks we have been to in 10 years. I have found that if you call around an area you are intending to explore someone will have it, but you have to seek it out.

    Keigm; I would be willing to bet that the modern day coaches are following whats available for campgrounds shore power. If someone introduced something other than what is the normal we that poor end user would find anywhere for the next 20 years that would be able to accommodate them. I struggle to locate campgrounds with 50 amps.

    A 50 amp coach actually has 220vac coming in on two separate legs (2 -120's) but still single phase. 

    Load shed, the Energy Management System will calculate power in and power out, if out is asking for more it will automatically cut off items deemed less necessary to provide the request. I leave ours set to Automatic all the time.

    Do we all travel by our stomachs? What’s good near Lafayette?

    Sometimes! Cuisine is one additional plus for New Orleans. I had a Poboy there the last trip just across and down the block from the cafe Du Monde that I have been craving ever since.

    Local restaurants are always in our list when traveling, it’s a portion of the experience you must take on when exploring an area.

    You guys realise that the wearing of white was started by people eating Beignets at the  Cafe Du Monde? They didn't start out white but looked that way when they left from all the powdered sugar. 😄 If you have eaten there you will understand.

    Didn't know that, I get the Philly Cheese steak lean going on while consuming one so I don't wear it :lol: :ph34r:
