  1. Tim, I understand your position. I would take it to a Cummins dealer (As recommended above) and have it redone. Antifreeze is so critical in an engine its just not worth the risk. Where are you located?
  2. I keep mine in the fuel tank bay in these tubes they have a slope and a hole on the floor in that bay so any liquids will drain out. I simply open the door grab the main hose and pull it out of the tube on the driver side.
  3. X2 on Rhino, ours is 10 years old this year. The one thing I absolutely love, you can use it compressed and it holds its shape! some when water enters they will expand and jump all over the place. If in an expandable track to help descend most will jump out or flip over. i bought a red Valterra, it reminded me of the snake in a can it would jump all over the place once water entered it. I gave it away after the 2nd use.
  4. Tomorrow I've got to scrub it down, coach outside is filthy. By tomorrow night I'll be antsy
  5. Just flushed the RV antifreeze out, sanitized it added 1/4 tank to the fresh for the trip to and fro. Getting excited !!!
  6. Wow 18 is good!! Our HR club we are lucky to get 4.
  7. Five, that's interesting! The cam lock made sense, not that I've ever had a bayonet problem...well once I missed 1/2 of the lugs, good thing it was gray water , hit me in the chest like a fire hose...where's Herman, I bet he has a shirt . Honestly it just looked too bulky (besides too expensive) and I see no need for the valve on one end when the other end is open.
  8. It does store nice, it also stays together well when flowing liquid through it. I had a Valterra for a very short time, I didn't like it, when you would open the valve on the coach it would jump out of the slinky and dance around, then I would loose my down hill flow. I gave it away! Pulled my old hose out and put it back in service. I love the blue ones that just push together, every time I see one and someone about to open a valve, grab a beer, free entertainment is about to begin THIS ONE http://www.prestofit.com/BluelineRVSanitation.html
  9. No experience with that hose, although i did consider upgrading one day. My concern was cutting the outlet and installing a different connection. I have this hose and another 15' section. Its 10 years old now with no issues. https://www.amazon.com/Camco-RhinoFLEX-Translucent-Frustration-Free-39770/dp/B01HPHR2M4
  10. I have the same model Surgeguard, no issues with the unit, its 4 years old and has saved us several times. I run EEZtire system. Had a Tire Minder, tossed the entire system into the trash last year. I have heard their later model is better, after my experience it wouldn't make a difference, their customer support was also terrible. TPMS is a great investment, but more importantly it has to operate in a way it makes sense, the older tire minder I had didn't do that. I had such a bad experience with Tire Minder I called EEZ Tire and spoke to their engineer, interrogated him for a good 15 minutes, he assured me I would not have those problems gave me his cell phone number if I did . Never called him, system is a year old now and works great! This is our 3rd TPMS in 10 years, I had Pressure Pro 1st, great system but the sensors were expensive when they needed batteries. https://www.eezrvproducts.com/
  11. The fact that its green is interesting as Safety Kleen doesn't make a "green" colored coolant. Yellow or Red are the only options. https://www.safety-kleen.com/products-services/products/antifreeze-and-windshield-washer-fluid/antifreeze Any idea what color was in it before you took it over? I have to agree with the comment above Sounds like they put regular automotive coolant in it. I haven't stumbled upon any coolant for Diesel Truck application that was colored green, not in 17+ years. I have heard of shop's putting automotive coolant in Diesel engines (particularly smaller ones) and adding SCA additives. Get yourself a coolant test kit in strips, dip and see if it has adequate Diesel SCA protection (#1 concern). That will tell you right away if its adequate, then you will still need to know whats in it, maybe take a sample and send it out to a lab, they cn usually tell you what it is. Lab example; http://www.titanlab.com/why-titan-labs/
  12. That sounds like it would have been a blast!
  13. Cant speak to this place, I just looked at their website and WOW!! I can understand why you would consider it. I requested a brochure. Curious what others have to say.....
  14. TT, same hose we run, ours is 10 still works like new. I just bought replacement o rings for the quick connect on the end, that just started to leak last season. Not all CG's have threaded pipes for sewer, I have a set of Sewer weights to keep it on the hole.
  15. Mine isn't being towed, it's pushing the coach . Sorry, devil made me do it
  16. Probably screwed in from behind. Do you have access?
  17. Yeah, I saw that. It had a sheet with all of the previous locations and dates before on a tab along with the attendance information listed.
  18. Can you attach a photo? Usually fog on the inside is a bad seal, either from the socket or the lens where its seamed.
  19. I have faith in you Kay, you could build something to incorporate your coach for water.
  20. TT, hope you got the answer you were looking for.....
  21. Carl, those attendance numbers were strong all the way into the mid 2000's if I remember correctly. Believe me I was shocked and got to thinking what that must have been like! FMCA was always considered "top shelf" that's why we joined back in 09. The rest is history!
  22. TT, one the old format of the FMCA website (homepage) there was a tab you could see past years rally locations, all the way back into the 80's if my memory serves me right. It also gave the total count of coaches that attended. Wow were those some impressive numbers! With the new website I have not been able to locate that list, might still be there, I just cant find it. Once upon a time they were more spread out and in various locations with a lot more coaches in attendance in most cases. My guess is the places they were held are no longer available or its not convenient for the staff to plan it out.
  23. Oasis is made by INTERNATIONAL THERMAL RESEARCH Aquahot is made by Aqua-Hot Heating Systems, Inc. The Aquahot (my vintage) utilizes a Webasto burner unit, I have no idea if the later ones are the same. In looking at the two side by side the Oasis seems to be less complicated at the burner unit level. The Oasis looks more like a home heating boiler burner unit. I would be more concerned on the previous owners maintenance rather than the manufacture of the unit if you are looking at used. Both will break if not maintained properly. When I did an internet search on the two companies both popped up with other forum links with problem units.

    You get up this way, we will go for a road trip!
  25. We joined Family Motor Coach Association to meet people with common interests, that being MOTORHOMES discuss traveling plans site seeing destinations and learn about the motorhome lifestyle all the while making new friends and building comradery. The point of the comments above has absolutely nothing to do with your trailers specifications nor does it have anything to do with your truck, please don't take it personal, that was not the intent. The personal part I'll get to in a few. I also mentioned above I didn't want to hijack this thread but I got pullled into this post deeper, apparently that degree didn't teach reading comprehension. We travel with friends that have trailers on occasion. I have worked on both, and their camper portion cannot be driven and is very different to OUR coach therefor it's not the same, you maybe an engineer but I spent a portion of mine correcting those errors. The sole purpose I am still around, to help others from my experience. I mearly stated my opinion above and got called back into the post. I'll be darn if I'm going to sit back and take a double shot from someone that knows little about how your trailer shares the same equipment as my motorhome when you don't know me or my motorhome. This forum is turning into a similar hostile form as that IRV one, perhaps it's because you came from there. Moderators, sorry for the post, I didn't ask for this nor did I open the door but something had to be said.
