    I use Visa which gives me 5% on fuel, groceries, and pharmacy, and 1% on everything else. I have had it for over 5 years.

    I have Centramatics on and they are not 100%. I think that the tires are more out of balance than the balancers can handle. I tried balancing the wheels on my spin balancer but I am having a problem with the machine.

    Has anyone balanced tires by putting rv antifreeze inside the tire? How about using bb's or something similar?

    On a lot of coaches the gen comes out the bottom if the door is not big enough.

    Check the cooling could be jammed up with something in the blower fan or passages.

    I would use AGM for the house if had a choice.

    Voyager in Tucson is a nice resort. Was there 3 weeks ago. You can do as much or as little as you want.

    You will need a compatible dish with multiple LNBs for Directv HD.

    I have a 32 ft which I installed a 98 ISB 275 hp with an Allison 3060. My coach weighs 19,000 and I tow a 5400 lb Silverado. When I go coast to coast 2700 miles I average 10.6 mpg. Last week I went from Tucson to Lk Havasu City, 310 miles, and with favorable conditions I got 12.4 mpg.

    One of our favorite stops was Chicken, panned for gold.

    When we were there I traveled at 30 to 35 mph on a lot of the roads. We did not suffer any damage. When we would see a construction truck coming our way I would angle to the shoulder at about 35 degrees and stop. Those truck were probably going 75 mph or better spraying gravel all over.

    That price is for Rotella regular oil, I looked this morning at Sam's club in Bullhead Az.

    Go to the Spartan seminars at the FMCA conventions and they will give you the all the maintenance procedures.
  16. desertdeals69
    Typically once a year for equalizing, depending on usage. How old are the batteries? If they are over 4 or so years they may need replacing. You need to maintain the water level.

    Are the tires the originals that came with the coach new? I would stick with the Michelins. Usually the difference between a truck tire and an rv tire is the stiffness of the sidewall. Age is somewhere between 5 years and 10 years before replacement.

    You should have a Surge Guard on you incoming line which will take care of most problems.

    If it were me I would go with the 50 amp service. The cost would be greater but not that much. It would be a direct plug in without an adapter. Any future power requirement would be met.

    It was back in the 70's when we were in Toronto and the Star Wars cast was celebrating their one year birthday at the CN tower. We had our young kids with us and we got to ride up the elevator with some of the cast in full costume.

    You want to run a dedicated output of the sine wave inverter to the appliance.
  22. desertdeals69
    Usually the engine charging is through the solenoid or diodes to both battery banks and the charger is wired to the house batteries only.

    Food for thought. If an Airstream trailer is a bumper tow then a "fifth wheel" is a bed tow. An 18 wheeler has 18 wheel so a dually pickup towing a 2 axle trailer would be a 10 wheeler and a dually pickup towing a 3 axle trailer would be a 12 wheeler.

    If considering solar I would start with a minimum of 600 watts and a MPPT controller which is 98% efficient. With good sunlight mine will charge at 40 amps.

    If you always use a pure sine wave inverter you won't go wrong.
