That would be my choice. I tow a Silverado with a 96 gallon diesel tank in the back so I don't have to drive my coach in to fuel up. My coach has 185 gal diesel capacity.

Most of the TTs are in the west, south, east. Yes we have been all over. None in the middle of the country so we stay with friends and family.

I replaced my rv Dometic with a residential from Best Buy. I have a furnace under so it needed to be no higher than 60 inches. I picked a 10+ cu ft Insignia with freezer on the bottom. It is only 24 in wide so I had 8 in to build a slide out pantry. The fridge was on sale for $299 and I bought the extended warranty to 5 years for $100. There is more room inside it than the old fridge. Been on the road for almost 2 months and it is working fine. Don't have to worry about being perfectly level. Will be in Gillette so if anyone wants to see it.

There are close to 500 different contract plans out there. I'm reading the info off the current brochure they handed me. I'm in the Seaside Thousand trails park now until July 6.

Basic Elite reservations 120 days out, 21 days in/park to park. Elite Connections reservations 180 days, 21 days in/park to park. Ultimate Odyssey reservations 180 days, 28 days in/park to park. There are other discounts, cabins etc. with the different plans.

We have the basic Elite. 21 days and go park to park. 14 days in high use parks. Before we up graded to Elite we could do 14 days and go park to park. There are almost 500 different contracts in the system. I have never had the opportunity to reserve full hookups, some parks don't have sewer, just a dump station. In some parks 50 amp is a $5 up charge.

Some Thousand Trails parks are better than others. We stayed in Pio Pico several years ago and the only thing we found odd was the diameter of the sewer dump, too small for our dump fitting. We left home the first part of May and have stayed in a Thousand Trails park every night since. Have had good experiences, we are now in Seaside Thousand Trails for 2 more weeks. We have stayed in 44 different Thousand Trails parks so far.

The reason you want the tow bar level is the force is greatly multiplied because of leverage if not straight in line. A 4000 lb toad can become 4500 lb pressure on the receiver with angle change. Although the mfg states 2-3 inches differential being ok, 0 is the best.

It sounds like the air brake system that Spartan has as legal way to hook up for air brake control for the toad. It is not legal to cut into the air brake system on the coach although many people do.

Post a picture of the top of your batteries and I will tell you how they should be wired.

I didn't like my feet hanging off the bottom so I changed to a full queen size and don't have a problem with finding fitted sheets.

Whether its old or new there is always something that needs fixing. Items that are no longer made can be replaced by newer models. I have a 20 year old coach and have up dated a number of items such as LED tvs, 3000 watt inverter, 6 AGM batteries, 800 watts solar, residential fridge, full body paint, etc. I have owned this coach for just over 2 years. I am coming onto 78 years old next month and when I was 30 I promised myself to pay cash for all my toys, boats, motorhomes, etc.

What color smoke?

You and I can do that but the average owner has to hire someone to do that at $100 an hour so you can see the costs mounting.

I took it as repair or replace the appliances not the coach.

Usually replacement is more cost effective since its 18 years old.

I saw a roof mount set up that had curved rails side to side and the panels would travel in the center and moved either right or left when in use to the correct angle. Be sure to use a MPPT controller, much more efficient.

If it cools ok on electric then there must be something wrong with the propane system. Look to see if flame is present when turned on. Does all the other propane appliances work?

Never use a rear flap. It take the rocks that are picked up by the tires and bounces back to the road and then it bounces back in the air and covers the whole front of the toad. Without the flap the gravel that is picked up by the tires is low enough by the time it gets to the toad it goes underneath it.

I don't know, the only one I have done in the past is help with Tire Minder. I'll see who wants me!

I signed up for handicap and it was stated first come first served. I think I will come on Sun or Mon. I also could park in committee area as I'm on the tech advisory committee.

I put a 40 inch led tv in place of a 19 inch. If you want to see how I did it I will be at Gillette and I can show you.

Changing one battery in a group will work but I always change all of them because I match mfg, dates, models so they are evenly matched. Seem to work better.

We have both Verizon and Sprint. The Verizon will work in about 90% of the places we go and Sprint about 50%. When Verizon doesn't work only about 5% of the time will Sprint work. When Sprint won't work Verizon will in about 95% of the time.

Did it in 2001. Went with one other coach. No particular route or plans. Just drove around. Was in Valdez when the first double hull tanker was on its maiden voyage. Got to go aboard and tour the ship. Covered a lot of miles in 2 months. Began in Vancouver with a cruise up the inland passage. Hit a lot of the attractions.
