Or how about a not so nice Good Sam park?😳

Don't know about the construction, but running around the area might take as much time. Do know 96 is marked for big rigs.

Another option would be a motel or hotel that has truck parking. You can park your rig there and stay in a usually pricey room. Running a genset to keep batteries up for your fridge would be ok. Pets/ maybe they are OK with them, or board them. Prior planning prevents......

My Rand McNally works great! It is an atlas. All that I know how to use and all that I need.🙄

The area is quite crowded and with expensive real estate. Even the few truckstops are mobbed. Good luck. If you are retired military, maybe Ft. Lewis might be a possibility. Shoulda stopped short of the area and realized a commute in a rental car or your toad would have to be the best choice. If you find the ideal place, don't tell anyone. It will not last if you do.

KOA in Watkins Glen seems to be well thought of Bill. Re: West Virginia/ stayed in one park. After the experience, we looked at other possibles for the future. Gave up.

I still do not use glasses for distance vision , but I am starting to think about prescription reading glasses. The Walmart Cheaters don't work as well anymore on most maps. Will look for the Walmart Atlas. An FMCA atlas like that might have sold well.

Did not mean that all of Texas is subtropical. I am thinking of Houston south along and near the coast. You live down that way as does Brett ( I think ). Lived in San Angelo twice as a kid. Certainly not subtropical there. Dry and hot mostly.

Where do you find a reliable source of dry air in subtropical Texas? Truck stops or gas stations? I doubt that their air is moisture free. Can a dryer on a diesel coach cope with that moisture? Don't know myself. Just asking. Our tires were mounted by my gold standard for commercial tire service. Service Tire in York, PA. I keep the schrader or valve cores snugged up. After a top off before first use, I check our tires before getting under way, with a quality gauge and seldom add air. If I do it is very little. I never have tropical parts of the US on our travel plans. Dry western air at altitude is our choice. I like my little portable compressor.

This is tire related. I have a six gallon 120vac porter cable compressor to maintain tire pressure. A lot easier than using the onboard air system on our Phaeton. Lowes has them on sale now for $100. Do not know if it is a company wide sale, but I would not be without it.

I checked online. The link that Tom put up looks like what I need to try. Bill, there are a surprising number of versions. If DD reads this maybe he could post the version of 303 that he used

It has worked for me in the past. Another choice would be a trickle charger, preferably after you have given the house batteries a full charge. Of course make sure that the salesman' switch is in the off position. You want no load on the batteries when putting a small charger in place.

Not cracked or peeling. 303 Protectant/ Home Depot, Advance Auto??

We have some on our 2003 Phaeton that are starting to deteriorate. Looks like oxidation. I could replace them on EBay?

I was hoping things had gotten better. Oh well! We will run I-70 west out of PA and head west on I-44 to Oak City. I-44 was good two years ago; hopefully still is. It is only 88 miles further to the San Luis Valley vs running I-70 west to Limon, CO and US 24 to I-25. And we can stop at the Big Texan in Amarillo for some Rocky Mountain Oysters. 👌

A question and an observation. There should be a check valve. Is there one built into the unit? If not I should probably put one in place between the unit and the tank? Observation/ The unit is a lift pump, a primer for filters there and downstream and a fuel/water separator. Looks like smart thing to do for many diesel RV owners.

I am looking at both the Air Dog and a similar Fass system. Price is about the same. What do I do? Flip a coin?

Try a coupler. Might work. The signal is amplified. If not, then get complicated.

Question for DD and RL/ is the pump noisy enough to be heard? I am giving one of their units serious consideration.

When I was a trucker, we had two seasons/ winter and construction.

Betty informed me today that the Turning Stone RV Village is her favorite.

Reason I asked is that 40 was so rough in Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma that refused to take my rig over it. Made my way to Kansas City and then worked my way to Tucumcari NM to rejoin 40. Would never have taken any type of RV over that stretch. So 10 is now a no go? Used to be good from Baton Rouge west.

Thank you both on the pump. Have been thinking about doing a pump of some type. I will look that up today. Joe did something along those lines.
