That hose connects to a suspension air bag? Usually those are Synflex with push locks. That Looks like a brake hose to one of the chambers.

Diesel Motorhome MPG-- Honest Answers Please
jleamont replied to luckydog1949's topic in Type A motorhomes
Bill, you nailed it. It’s all on how it’s driven. If you just drop it in D and go you will not benefit from good MPG. -
Herman, last time at the Grand Canyon, we took the train up from the Grand Canyon Railway campground, anyway my wife had her Canon camera around her neck (giant looking thing on a small woman), we stood there for a few minutes WOW'd over the view, she tells me I could stand here all day, I told her to take a few pictures, we have a train to catch...LETS GO and i did the same thing Chevy did in this scene bobbing his neck and head! We watched this movie a few years later, she looked at me and says, EHH, now I see where you got that from, jerk

One day I will have the luxury of 250-300 per day. Our teens are good with the road time, mostly due to the comfort of the coach. Anyhow, for now this is me

YUP, that's exactly what I was referring to above. I found myself pushing the speed to make a pre-reservation so I wouldn't loose my deposit. A few times I gave up at 1am with one eye open, pulled into a rest are and said fuggedaboutit! Or the flip side we wanted to stop at something that looked neat but couldn't as we were on a schedule.

The key is "Circuit Low" that tells me the ECM cannot see the sensor, its basically looking for a voltage reading from it and its not getting that data. Could be corrosion in a connector, (either at ECM, sensor or connection between) wiring between ECM and sensor, bad sensor or bad ECM. Start with checking connections, and following wiring from sensor to ECM, look for and GREEN pins or scale buildup in the connections or wires pinched or chaffed along the way.

Not french door but a knob like this that screws into an existing hole would also work. it slips between both doors, 1/4 turn and the doors are secure. I made a bracket to mount it on but you could just put two on it into existing holes.

We use to plan a campground stop, the problem...we couldn't get there until late due to some unforeseen or got there so early I lost valuable driving time that I had to make up for the next day. We gave that up, now we wing it, with technology today and resources winging it is much easier than I imagine it was 25 years ago. I leave with a coach fully stocked, full fresh tank of water. This gives us flexibility, I can stop at a campground or a Walmart or something similar. Dbenoit, just off of I-95 in Lumberton NC is this place http://www.sleepybearsrvpark.com/. We have stopped for a night on a few occasions, nice place to stop and plug in for the night. Also I-95 at North Carolina exit 106 is this place https://kenly95.com/ my absolute favorite place to stop. The lot is so huge parking is not an issue.

We have these behind all tires (including steers) and the rock guard, that rock guard is so heavy (I have a scar to prove its weight ) if anything i'd bet it decreases MPG's on ours. The tire side of it has stone damage so its doing something. We have only ever towed Jeep Wranglers, none have ever showed any signs of stone damage in either coach. Last coach had what looked like a Hula skirt hanging off the rear bumper for a few years, I removed it and ran with nothing, still no stone damage, but the drive axle was 11.5' from the coach bumper.
-
bgreen, can you attach a photo of your coach and Toad connected, better visual. Also a photo standing back showing the rear axle on the coach. Some are close to the toad while others are not.

Herman, , but NO Kay yeah, while at a campground she can shower as long as she wants. I just either open the gray tank until shes done or keep an eye on it's level, kids shower after so I let that go into a closed tank. Usually we can all shower and do the day to day stuff and I only have to pull the valve once. I also just replaced both valves, what a difference, should have done that 4 years ago! On the road everyone has to consume, same without full hookups.
-
UPDATE; DW is happy, so happy she wont admit it, well she told the kids.."don't tell your father, he was right, this is fantastic" . In 20 years of marriage, that has to be one of the only times I have heard that Now if she could figure out what she wants for dinners, we'd be all set So far we have had 37 showers with the heater and no cooler temperatures experienced as with the Aquahot. Propane tank is still full (20 gallon BBQ style). The only concern is my wife now takes longer showers when on full hookup Carl, remind me to show you this next week.

Brett, agreed! Roger, I have been waiting for your response on this post, thank you commenting!

I done good
-
LOL, it shows it with and without the O. Which made me feel better, i did good in English class
-
So is an O'possum an Irish lad. This was the first time I had ever heard of a Possum with a O in front of it. Good thing for Google...
-
We always top off the fresh tank on a long road trip. How about showers? Or do you have daily Campgrounds predetermined?
-
UGH . I think I have a shock or two up front in need of replacing, DW said next year and front air bags . I figured the Tea oil would smell better, watch you might have bees chasing you now . Garlic will keep Sue inside also while you are out side working, that's great unless she is handing you tools
-
I was going to give this a try; Tick Repellent. A tick repellent can be made for both animals and humans using tea tree oil as an active ingredient. Start with a 2:1 mixture of your favorite base oil, such as almond or jojoaba, and water. Combine this into a spray bottle with 2 oz. of tea tree oil.

Carl, new federal law that has only been in place for a few months but approved in 2016 ish. Went live I think in April 2018, was suppose ot be January, but it was delayed. Drivers no longer have their own time, they have to follow the computer in the cab, its causing a bunch of accidents on highways also. Drivers are trying to make up time as a result, mostly due to poor planning or unforeseen traffic that held them up, they also have to stop now when the govt mandated program tell's them to, not when they are fatigued. So what you get is driver that had to stop while awake, couldn't sleep, then ran out of break time and has to pound the pavement again now very tired! dangerous situation! I guess once you get a custom to it they will be ok, but that's not the case at the present time with many.

Use caution at trucks stops now. New federal law requires them to take breaks at specific time's by electronic log reporting. They MUST stop then no if ans or buts about it! Space around the US is very limited, especially the east coast. They no longer have the luxury of driving down the road for the next available parking. Trucks stops from what I have heard are busting at the seams, I certainly wouldn't want to take up their space or get tangled up in a sea of trucks, not with today's driver's!
