1 hour ago, scotttami said:Class C's were brought up a few posts ago. How many do you see at the big rallies? 1-2% of attendees at best. Guess who the typical buyer of class C's are? Families with kids. Guess how many class C's were built in 2015 (22100) vs. class A's (21900). FMCA currently has access to the very people they say they need to join, but very little is being done to get them on board. They are kidding themselves if they think young trailer owners are going to sign up when they can't get young motor home owners to do it. We have a room full of older FMCA members (executive board) thinking they know what younger potential members want, but they don't have a clue. They can't see thousands of motor home owners who we could sign up.
I agree.

Surge brakes are ok if you don't go down long steep hills as the brakes are activated constantly if you are using the exhaust brake.

Try 303 it may surprise you, mine had oxidation and it cleared up.

I do not have the paper work because it was for my friend while I was visiting him in Ct. This was 2 years ago. The one you looked up may have been for a right hand door. The one we got was for the drivers door, pretty sure of the year 89 but they may not have made the LTD that year so see if another model of full size has the right picture. I know is was a Ford product. I had no idea of what make and model it was when we walked in the door so we had to look through a lot of pictures on the computer.

What does the factory say about it? I have never used a Magnum as I have always used Xantrex although they still have issues. We are starting our 41 year motorhoming using about 10 different motorhomes. In the 70s the inverters didn't have chargers.

I prolonged the life of my decals on a 93 Coachmen DP for 19 years with 303. Then I had a full body paint job.
-
When I went to Auto Zone they had all the pictures and we just matched it up. It may not have been and LTD but another model but I remembered it was an 89 but there could be more than one year since they are not going to have a new motor design every year.

Since Coachnet seems to just arrange for the service I see little benefit in todays world. Back in the 90s they were a technical resource center, I know because them being located next to our RV repair shop they would ask us tech questions from time to time.

I think that having the color computer matched is better because it takes into account fading.

That seems to be the current state of Coach Net these days. I think they did a much better job before they moved out of Lk Havasu City. They were a few doors up from my RV repair shop when they first moved to town and I used to talk to them quite often. This was back in the 90's and I loaned them my mapping software as they were still using paper maps.

It came with the motor and the gearbox.

My ISL is 3/4 out and 1/2 return with -8 JIC fittings on the return and -10 JIC fittings on the supply (hydraulic hose plumbing).
Noise; same with mine as DD69's pump, I can only hear the pump with the key on engine off inside or standing outside. My pump is mounted in the compartment behind the passenger side front tire under the DW's seat. Cant be bad if she's not complaining
.
ISB The 1/2 inch fuel line from the pickup came in the kit with snap on connectors.

A balancing bead manufacturer sent me a set of beads to test. They sent the right weight for the size of tire. Have gone 2k miles in the last 2 weeks and they seem to do the job. It has been smooth up to 75 mph. Thats as fast as I have been.

19 hours ago, fagnaml said:Good discussion above and why I asked the "best navigation App question". I looked at the cost of CoPilot for cars ($9.99 per year) and the cost of CoPilot for RVs ($59.99 per year). For someone like me who is mostly a 3-4 day "weekend warrior", I struggle to see the value of the expensive CoPilot RV app. The CoPilot Cars app is an OK cost if RV dimension can be added as I don't want to be one of the "You Tube shows" where a motorhome encounters a low clearance bridge !!
I can't find any Apps beyond Google Maps, WAZE and CoPilot that get good reviews in the iPhone Apps Store. Available truck navigation Apps get poor reviews. Any other suggestions except those three?
We use the iPhone for trip routing. I think it is already on the phone. It even gives current traffic delays by changing the color on the route from blue to red and then to yellow. We were just on I 70 in Missouri.

I would try repairing the broken cable by using waterproof coax connectors. They have o-rings and are supposed to be water resistant. If the tv works then I would tape it with silicone mending tape.
-
If ride is the issue I would go with Michelins. Toyos are about half the price but have a little stiffer side wall because they are a truck tire. I have Michelins on the front and Toyos on the rear.

I can hear it running standing next to it outside but don't hear it inside the coach. I have the Air Dog with the filters as part of the unit. 1/2 inch fuel line from the tank and a 5/16 inch return line to the tank.
-
I think that is for national directors and committee members.
-
You might look at a Air Dog or FASS lift pump system, all you do is turn on the ignition and the electric pump does the rest.

Parallel, its a 12 volt system.

There are places where there are pot holes in pot holes.

Trager makes a small one. I bought one and it didn't work so I took it back and got another one and it didn't work either. Gave up on the idea went back to my propane one.

Nobody has mentioned how many current members would drop out if the membership is open to everyone. I'm thinking it could be quite a few.

We stay at Thunderbird in Monroe which is not too far from Bothell.
Air Bag Installation

Generally probably not. I changed a steel spring diesel pusher 32 ft to air bags and the ride was very similar. What I could do is to change the ride hight front to back and side to side.
