  1. There is nothing wrong with a K&N filter. I did the beta testing for them and they monitored my oil all along the time and it was doing the job correctly. When it went into production I got one of them and when I got my new to me coach I installed one on it. I've got about 20K miles on the two production filters. I put about 13K mile on the beta model.
  2. I used the Air Dog fp150 a4spbd004 kit and a reman vp44 from Thoroughbred in Kentucky.
  3. a 97 engine is a mechanical. He says its a ISB275 which is a 98 or newer 24 valve. I took mine stock lift pump off when I did the mods.
  4. Your 98 Cummins ISB 275 has an electric lift pump which is located on the passenger side of the engine close to the trans. If it fails the engine will still run until the injection pump VP44 fails. I just went through the whole process with my new to me coach. I installed an Air Dog lift pump system and a reman VP44 injection pump. Runs good now, putting on about 4500 miles.
  5. The Tire Minder people (Minder Research) are working on a Pet Minder. I think it will work on your smart phone.
  6. When was the forum meet and greet at Chandler?
  7. While driving with the inverter on my wife made a cup of hot water in the microwave. I noticed that I lost 1/2 mile to the gallon when the micro was on proving that it takes horsepower to turn the alternator.
  8. I have a Demco tow dolly with surge brakes. I installed a air over hydraulic master cylinder. It worked too good lock up the brakes on light brake pedal so I put an inline pressure regulator to reduce the pressure. I will have it at Chandler if you want to see it.
  9. The condition is as important as the age. Eight months ago I bought a 98 Fleetwood Discovery in excellent shape. After doing some personalizing its just what I been looking for. I had my last coach for 17 years and I thought I would retire from motor homing with it until the new one came along.
  10. 303 works for preserving the vinyl stickers. I keeped mine looking good for 19 years until I had a full body paint job.
  11. I think that there is a 303 for tires. I can't remember which one.
  12. Because the heat vents are a ways back in the coach and your up in the front driving and its cold.
  13. We had that happen once and we had to run an 1500 watt electric heater on the inverter while driving in freezing weather.
  14. I was told that when you hit 10g it goes from LTE to 4g. In the out lying areas you don't get LTE anyway sometimes its 3g.
  15. I went to unlimited data last week at Verizon for my phone and mifi. I've used 6.5 gig in 3 days which would have been over 1/2 of a month on my former plan.
  16. On my Power Gear system it only works when the ign switch is on and the panel is turned on and they only retract when I push the retract button.
  17. In order to get a HD picture you need to use hdmi cable. Coax gets you the poorest picture.
  18. If you stay with Directv they have a device that sends the signal to all tvs wirelessly.
  19. Tire Minder do not lose calibration. I just changed my batteries and o-rings.
  20. It won't go into gear if the throttle is at high idle. I thought the 2500 was a 5 speed.
  21. I empty the fresh water tank and then pour a pint of hydrogen peroxide into the fill hose and run about 10 gallons of water into the tank. I run water thru each faucet and the hot water tank. Let stand for a couple of hours and then fill the tank and I'm good to go. Been doing this for many years.
  22. The unit you have is pretty much obsolete. Do you have satellite tv at home? If so you should get a corresponding dish for the motorhome and use your home receiver.
  23. If you turn on the microwave the current draw maybe upwards of 190 amps. Thats why a 3/0 cable is used. Welding cable is fine strand so it is much more flexible than standard 3/0 cable.

    FMCA Plates

    I think the only way you can get cast aluminum plates is to have them custom made. In the early years that was standard, I got mine the summer of 78.
  25. The recertification is on portable tanks not permanently installed ones.
