I gave up on windows years ago, use Apple now.

Put a flood light on the trans then take a picture.

My yearly budget is zero. I fix what breaks when it happens.

1 hour ago, spieg said:I currently have a 2011 Tiffin Phaeton 40' MH and thinking of moving to an 2017 Entegra Anthem 42' with tag axle. Does anyone have the wheel base measurements on the 42' from the steer wheels to the drive wheels? My coach has a wheel base of 266" and the only thing listed for the Entegra is the wheel base from the steer wheels to the tag axle at 296". I called Spartan chassis and they could not tell me the measurement other then to the tag axle.
The reason this would be important to me is that I can maneuver the 40' around my property but not sure I will be able to with a longer coach unless the wheel base is similar or close to 266" from steer wheels to drive wheels. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
You also need to check the turning radius between the two coaches.

Also check the oil cooler and hoses and fittings.

How about one before or after Gillette in that area. Probably have more forum members in that area at the same time.

I didn't know that your cracks were that bad. On mine the cracks were just starting and it didn't get any worse for about 5 years and then I had a full body paint job.

Try 303. I used it for several years until I had my coach painted.

10 hours ago, QuiGonJohn said:I know this is an older thread, but thought I'd give a little info, in case anyone else is looking here to do this. Shortly after I got my MH (2006 Winnebago Aspect 26A ... 30 Amp), I installed a 30 Amp RV receptacle on the side of my house where I park my RV.
I tapped into the Dryer Circuit, which happened to be on the opposite side of the garage wall from where I park the RV and wanted to place the outlet. I drilled a hole thru the cinder block, just a few inches from the Dryer outlet. Killed the power, then connected wiring to just one side (leg) of the Dryer circuit, (being certain I was only getting 120v not 220v). Ran heavy gauge wire thru conduit out to the box I put on the outer wall, then wired in the 30A outlet and ran a little more wire further to give myself a regular 20A home outlet (outdoor) as well (to use for other things).
After all done, I tested again to be absolutely certain I had 120v at the new outlets on the outside wall. This gives me very heavy gauge wiring back to my breaker panel (by means of the already existing dryer wire) and I put pretty heavy wiring for the 1.5 to 2 feet of wire from the dryer outlet to the new outlet.
The only caveat is I feel to not overload, the A/C in the RV and the Dryer itself, should not be run at the same time. Simple enough to be sure of.
I think the problem would be there is no common wire. A drier has two hot legs with a ground. When you take one leg and the ground you do have 120v but you don't have a common (white) to complete the 120v circuit.

I have 8 100 watt panels with a MPPT charge controller. In bright sun it will charge 38-40 amps. I have 6 AGMs. The brand is Renolgy.

We did Alaska on our own in 01. We had a toad and found it useful. We boon docked all the way. We took spare tires but didn't need them.

On mine the ac comp belt had to come off first.

I had to change mine on the side of the road in Aug. I have a Freightliner with a ISB 275. No problem.

They make several models, mine is the one that flows in one end and out the other. As far as I know the element is the same or same media with the housing different. The one I tested was a prototype and then I ran with a production model. My new to me coach has the same production model. I don't have the model number on hand with me.

Since I did the field testing for K&N prior to its release and they monitored my oil using Blackstone Labs on a regular basis, the filter worked as it was supposed to. I changed coaches the past spring and installed a new K&N ail filter on it.

I would think a van conversion would be about as big as you wanted to go for a daily driver in town.

My guess is that the door is on the slide and the filler cap is in the normal position so the slide has to be in when fueling.

But people that have a towable are young! That is why they want to change the organization, only OLD people have motor homes. See if the towables are allowed in we'll reduce the average age of the FMCA from 71 down to 32.
Seriously, what initiative has been undertaken to recruit and retain members? So far as I know virtually none. OK, at the large RV shows we have a booth. Do we send invites to all new owners of Motor Homes? Do we have a one year free trial given out by the manufacturers or dealers?I bought my first RV in 1976. It was a 1969 Lifetime. I used it for 8 weeks and sold it and got a 1975 Pace Arrow. Joined FMCA in 1978. I was 38 years old then and I have about 400K miles on about 10 motorhomes since. I joined FMCA because it was for motorhomes only.

If I had a choice I would only flat tow. I have done both and only in an emergency would I consider dolly towing.

I think the cable system is not the best one and I would be more concerned with Forrest River and their slow response time for warranties, One of our employees bought a new FR trailer before summer and it has been out of commission most of the summer and he is still waiting for parts right now that haven't been shipped.

On the fancy switches it kills the rotor current before switching the battery cable to avoid blowing a diode.

In my 98 Fleetwood Discovery it came with Flexsteel. Has 108K miles and the seats are very comfortable, for up to 550 miles a day so far.

I did buy it a Best Buy because I could find only 2 models that were 24 inches wide with the freezer on the bottom. The other one was GE but was 2 1/2 times more expensive. Been testing the Insignia on the garage floor and it seems to run ok. Can't hear the compressor running unless you put your ear to the cabinet. Cools down the freezer from 86 degrees to -7 in less than 3 hours and draws 1.1 amps, 1.8 for defrost.
Kenmore is Sears house brand and their products are made by various manufacturers with the lowest bid.

I installed beads about a year ago and they work fine, no vibration.
