To truckers from the south, it meant Lower Alabama. Pinto beans and cornbread, after eating all of that Yankee Food.

If the OP lives in the Spokane area and just wants to get to the south entrance of the canyon. Heading east on I-90 to Butte MT and then heading south on I-15 through Salt Lake City to I-70, and then east to US89 would be a good choice. Take US89 south into Arizona. Say on US 89, not Alt 89. US89 will take you to Arizona 64 West to the South Entrance. Have traveled US89 several times in a tractor trailer over the years, but wouldn't have been welcome on 64.

Kaye is right on about the weight of a 42" Plasma. We have one in our home. Still works perfectly, but is heavy. Can't bring myself to get rid of it.

Had this happen on our first coach. 1988 Georgie Boy II. Good reputation for workmanship, but when the thermostat was hooked to the a/c harness, butt connectors were used. Oddly this happened several years after we bought the unit/ one of the butt connectors was not properly crimped causing the wire to separate from the a/c harness. Had to remove the thermostat from the wall and and carefully pull the wiring out far enough to troubleshoot. It was an easy fix when found. It was also the rear a/c. Rough ride back there because of multi leaf springs. Vibration finally caught up with some shoddy work at the factory. Will not take too much of your time to check on that possible cause. Good luck!

I still like our 12" by 18" with a thickness of 2 3/4 " white oak pads. Heavy yes, but sturdy for sure. Of course not everyone has a saw mill a short distance away.

Your ultimate destination is the Grand Canyon? Seattle is just a waypoint as well as LA? Tom and Desert Deals both have good ideas. Let us know so maybe I can jump in there with a suggestion.

Just a thought/ your RV is towed and impounded for$$$$ to get it back, and possibly damaged in the process, while you are on the way to and from the airport. Your son could contact you via cell phone and take a cab to your location.

You are welcome. One of the three options will satisfy I am certain. Otherwise you folks would have run to hundreds of miles out of the way to get to Rio Rancho. US550 south out ot Durango to I-25 will get you almost there, and it is 4 lane and well thought of by most every one.

Interesting! Are there any hooks? Looks pretty. Tried a place on the New River on the WV side . Mistake!

It is a peaceful ride. Always enjoyed it. Yes all of the way to I-15.

Bill is spot on/ If you were on I-90 east bound and want to avoid Chicago Metro's horrendous traffic, the toll way around the mess is your only reasonable choice if you are headedi into Michigan or northern Ohio. Where are traveling to? Could be another way if we knew.

Bill/ always a good idea to have a Plan-B. That is all that I was suggesting. Your way is a good way if you are already in Jackson. If a member is heading north from I-80, maybe West on US26 to Swan Bay and 31 north would also be a good choice. In a toad. to and from Jackson on 22 would as, you have pointed out, be a very good choice. Speaking of good choices/ when westbound on I-80 and dreading the thought of going thru the Salt Lake City metro area on your way to the northwest, US30 is a good choice. Will share my insight on the beauty of that if anyone wants. It still is a favorite of mine,but never saw the need to mention it because so many travelers are locked and in love with interstates.

If you enjoy your RV, then by all means be proud of it. Regardless of where you go you will probably see something fancier with a much bigger monthly payment. Our coach is easily shamed by the fancy stuff we see, in spite of it's good condition. Our advantage/ Betty paid cash for it. I am just the driver😉.

Was scratching my head also. Liners pit from lack of additive, that makes a mess and calls for an in frame.

US 16 from Buffalo to Worland. North from Worland to Greybull on US16-20 combined. US14 west to Cody. There is a short cut west before you get to Greybull, but it saves very little. Stay on major roads in that part of the world.

People going from Buffalo to the little town of Victor ID for a wedding. "Who'd of Thunk It." US30 west that leaves I-80 in sight of the Little America truckstop was always my choice when heading into the northwestern US. Two lane and good road. I have not run the stretch of US89 north of 30 (that I remember), but it is marked for big trucks. If you go that way you will pass thru the last Wyoming town along 30/ Cokeville. From there it is maybe 9 or 10 miles to the Idaho state line, there is a state route (89) that heads straight north along the state line and joins US89 north to Alpine and US26 west to Swan Bay. I vaguely remember a stop sign at that intersection, but don't hold me to it. Doing that will save the distance to Montpelier ID and doubling back on US89 to Wyoming. If Bill says 22 out of Jackson to Victor is OK, I am sure that it is. I visited a website for an rv park in Victor (maye Teton Valley) that mentioned 10% grades and offered the alternative of 31 from Swan Bay to Victor. That is why I suggested that way. I still like US191 from Rock Springs north. Fond of off Interstate travel. If you decide on US30, spend a little time at Little America if you have time. Lot of highway history there. Thumbed a ride with a lumber hauler (tractor trailer) out of Pocatello ID east bound. There was no I-80 in Wyoming then. He stopped at Little America for fuel and coffee. It was quite the place even back then. Summer of 1962. Caught the trucking virus then. Incurable. Less than three years later I became a trucker.

You picked Victor ID looking for cheaper park rates? You really want to be in Jackson for easy access to Grand Teton National Park or possibly an extension into Yellowstone? Regardless/ my advice (retired trucker). Unless you really want to see a piece of Utah, you should take US191 north from Rock Springs Wyoming to Hoback Junction where you can go left onto US26 west. That will take you into Idaho to Swan Valley where you turn right onto Idaho 31. It is 21 miles from there to the outskirts of Victor. That avoids Teton Pass that is to and from Victor to Jackson. Teton Pass has a 10% grade at it's steepest and that is something I would be reluctant to try in spite of my experience because I would worry about some one losing control and running into me. if you decide to go thru Utah, you will be adding many miles to your destination. As you get closer to Evanston, WY you will have to pull steep grades that truckers refer to as the Sisters. Then when you enter Utah it is somewhat curvy before you join I-84 W that takes you around the Salt Lake City traffic. If you just have to see Salt Lake City, then you have to deal with more curvy sections of I-80, the busy traffic around Park City and then onto Parleys Summit and steep downgrades. Lots of lanes heading down, but why do it? I have run US 191N out of Rock Springs and US26 W from Holback Junction a few times over the years. Just enough to be reminded that they are ok for large vehicles. Good luck to you. Fall is a wonderful time to be out there.

Maybe Joe can support this, but I noticed as electronically controlled diesel engines made their way into the trucking industry, pyrometers were a rare option. Big fleets did away with them. I preferred to have one over the years. With electronic engines and a downstream probe, it would still be a help when waiting for the point to shut down the engine and extend the life of the turbo.

I remember 15-40 for power steering in one my Peterbilts.

You might be able to solve your problem by finding a screw on cap with a built in rubber lining. Looks like 3/4 NPT to me but the appearence is similar to female water hose fitting. Use the wrong cap and you will still have a leak. Home Depot has a really good mix of caps and fittings of various sizes, at least our's does. Find an end cap in 3/4 NPT and one in water hose size. The difference in size is subtle to the human eye, but use the wrong one and the leak will continue. That on my view is the quickest and easiest way to stop the drip. Anyway looks like 3/4 to me but I am only guessing.

HWH jacks. Thank you both for the help. Now on my to do list

Gary/ I was about to chime in. We have the same reservoir viewable when I lift the rear grill. Always thought that it was for the power steering pump. Hope that I am right. Level stays constant, and the levelers work just fine.

That is not a pressure relief that I know of. Have replaced a number of them over the years. We have two water heaters in our house of 41 years plus new water heaters at least two heaters down and one up. Plus replacement valves on both class A's. To my surprise, there is an adjustable relief valve but only one end is threaded. Something else is going on here. Former owner doing something not right?

You must have a pressure relief valve up top somewhere? The pic you have does not look like anything that I have seen on the back of a water heater. Must be a different brand that I have never come across. I see Teflon tape on the threads. Should come apart with a little muscle.

The burner nozzle needs cleaning or replacement? My guess.
