Yes you can, but you have to limit your usage to lower than the circuit breaker.

I don't think there is anything out there that is 100% protective. I also have a couple dings (Dings being chipped paint) on the sides where an 18 wheeler flying by has kicked up some debris.
I don't have either. I use 2 camping sleep mats from Walmart and 4 6 ft bungee cords to cover the front of my Silverado. Not one mark in 150k miles including Alaska. Total cost $25.

How about using your cell phone? We use ours all the time now.

I worked on many of the motorhomes of that era. I believe for a 29 foot coach you have a Dodge M600 chassis and a Dodge 440-3 engine. That was the time the automatic transfer switches started showing up. If you want to replace the manual switch, check with salvage yards. I have seen them from time to time.

Have used them for 16 years and they seem to work ok.

We have used Watchmans campground in Zion which is a federal park. Had electric and was able to put hoses together to get the tank filled.

There is a big rest area east of Amarillo that has wi-fi the last time we were there.

Thanks Herman

Under stand, but I believe his unit is a solid front axle. Most of the time it is toe in then caster and then
camber, God forgive if it's the later. Takes really good shop to correct camber on a solid axle.
Herman
It doesn't make any difference what type of axle it is, the caster still has to be correct. On a stick axle the ride height is critical as it changes the caster if not at the right height. Wedges of different angles are used to get the correct angle.

Contact Monaco with your coach number. Ask for tech service. You can do it on line. Ask for the alignment specs. Then go to your local truck dealer and ask where they have their truck aligned.
If you have constant wandering it sounds like you have a toe in problem. Constant wandering indicates it is toe'd out too much.
Herman
Also it could be not enough caster. I set more caster in my IFS and now it tracks much better. My toe was correct.

Check the thermostat wiring, see if there isn't some crossed wires.

desertdeals. Then you and DW either hold it and no potty stop between point A & B...or you do and just let it sit in bowl all day...ugh!
I use the fresh water from the tank to do the normal flushing, I just use the city water for flushing the black tank.

6 hours ago, Manholt said:desertdeals. Had to re read this post. You and I are on the same system...city water. I only use my fresh water tank to flush when on the road!
I never use my fresh water tank to flush the holding tanks, just city water at the dump sites.
-
19 hours ago, Manholt said:Are you the only one that uses the dump site? Is it at home or campground? Where does that water come from? I'm confused !
Both at my campsite and at the dump station. The water comes from the spigot.

5 hours ago, TBUTLER said:Yeah it's on my bucket list! Using my system it is likely a little less handy but if you are using 3/4 tank of fresh water (in our coach, 30 gallons) and repeating once or twice, that would be 60 or 90 gallons of fresh water to clean a 40 gallon tank. We are using between 6 and 8 gallons to get a clean tank. With the factory sprayer running while rinsing, it is less than 12 to 15 gallons total.
I don't use my fresh water, I am connected to the spigot at the dump site.
-
With my system it is push button. My nozzle is forceful enough to move the "mountain" of solids and it cleans completely.
-
I have a rinser that I installed that sprays directly at the bottom of the tank right where the toilet dumps. I found that when you are sitting for a length of time and not moving to slosh the mixture, a mountain builds of solids and is hard to dump unless you drive down the road first. I installed a timer so that the tank is filled to about 3/4 full with fresh water in 3 minutes. I dump then repeat the process another once or twice. It comes out clean.
-
I would just add to the system a can with stop leak and see if that helps. Usually the system is sucked down after the system has been opened, such as replacing o rings or hoses.
-
Back in the mid 70's I started installing the rinser on the water pressure line to the toilet so that you could rinse the bowl with force. I've made that modification to every one of my coaches since then (about 10).

If you want to tow your Honda and not have to worry about damaging the transmission you could use a tow dolly.
-
Is there power in the wires?
-
If you use a dolly you would have to put the truck on backwards because if you didn't the rear end and driveline would still turn.
-
I have towed both and they seem to me the same. I would tow 4 wheels on the ground if the vehicle permitted it and use to tow dolly only if required by the vehicle.

These have been referred to as freeze plugs for years when actually they are core plugs. I have seen dozens of frozen blocks and the plugs don't push out, the blocks just crack. In marine engines those plugs are brass because not all engines have fresh water cooling. The brass plugs don't corrode with salt water for cooling. I have always used brass plugs in all my engine rebuilds.

As far as I know, the van with all wheel drive cannot be towed on a dolly. I have towed, on a dolly, several front wheel drive Chrysler and Dodge minivans without problems.
