Mine were 15 years old when I had to smack them and since I turned them around they have been working for another 6 years and still going.

Make sure the flooring has a wood core and not ground cardboard like residential flooring.

I also smack the fixture and the lights came on. I thought that there was a loose wire so I took the fixture out and checked. No loose wire. Then the next time I met with a factory rep he explained what was actually happening and try flipping the tubes. They have been working for several years.

Try removing the tubes and turning them end for end. What can happen is the mercury has settled and no longer starts the process. I learned that trick from a Thin Lite rep and it worked for me.

If it is made of plastic I would upgrade to a china bowl toilet. They work better and are easier to clean.

If you want less hills go west on I 10 to Vicksburg rd, north to 72 and on to Parker then 95 through Lake Havasu City, and you can wave to me as you go by!, left on I 40 to 9 miles west of Needles then north to Searchlight and on to Boulder highway and west into Las Vegas. Just a note, you cannot see anything as you go over the bridge in front of the dam because there is a tall wall to prevent you from gawking and slowing down. The route I just describe does not take you over that bridge. The road is pretty much flat.

There is pros and cons for using the product on anything. As far as I know the two are the same. When I have seen them at the trade shows the manufacturer indicated that they were the same. Maybe Tireman can comment.

We always used Eagles Nest for 2 months at a time for 5 years.

Don't forget to stop at the Spam factory!

All you need to do is add a small PSW inverter 800 watt or so and keep your inverter/charger you already have to do the charging and other duties. They should be available for $200 to $300.

One of the problems we had was the water would form ice in the venturi and shut down the carb. This was in cooler temp but not freezing. Another thing was that you had to use purified water because after a while the chemical buildup would plug up the water orifice.

Usually a small tank is added and a proportional air relay which is controlled by the rear brake pressure so that if anything should happen to the air line going to the toad it will not effect the coach rear brakes. I beleive there is a federal regulation on this.

I worked with water injection back in the 70's on gas engines. The timing could be advanced slightly and you could use lower octane fuel. I don't know what it does on a diesel.

Because of the difficulty of finding the Michelin 235/80r22.5 I went with the Toyo 245/75r22.5. About $120 per tire cheaper that on the Michelin program. Seem to ride OK.

I saw a fireplace at Costco the looked like about the size of a 40 in flat screen and about 6 inches thick. It didn't look like it would be that difficult to install.

Coach manufacturers don't design and make a lot of the parts they install because of costs. Auto manufacturers don't make a lot of the parts they install for the same reason. Chassis, engines, transmissions, AC, furnaces, refrigerator, TV's, sound systems, toilets, lights, door handles and locks, etc. If they had to do all the design and manufacturing the coach would cost at least ten times more.

After some research, the flow through transmitters that are now available do have replaceable batteries however they are plastic and about twice as long. Very difficult to add air on the outer dual. Next to impossible to remove just the cap so the transmitter has to be removed to add air. They are not suitable for use on the toad because they stick out too far.

In listening to what everybody seems to be saying there is a lot of problems with any of the roadside services available. I have never had any of them. I do carry some spare parts and at least one spare tire and wheel and on long trip I usually carry an extra tire. My insurance company includes towing to the nearest repair facility so I don't see the need for anything else. I have had to be towed once in over 400k miles and 38 years due to mechanical break down, injector pump. When getting towed I would not let it be hung on a hook with the driveshaft disconnected. Use only a rollback truck. I have a 32 ft diesel pusher and I had a tow dolly on it. It would have held a 42-45 footer with no problems.

From what I recall the flow thru transmitters have to be replaced when the battery goes dead. They do not have a user replaceable battery.

Check with Tire Minder in Florida.

You don't need to go to I 40 to get to Kingman from Vegas, just go across the new bridge in front of the Hoover dam and down into Kingman and then on to I 40.

We have repaired several damaged ladders in our shop. If the damage is the tubing likely it is 7/8 inch anodized aluminum marine tubing. Cut out the damaged section and replace it with a new section using 3/4 tubing as a splice stiffener. Secure with stainless sheet metal screws. If it is in a curved area use a conduit bender to make the bends.

I would start tracing the wiring from the headlights back toward the switch. If there is a relay, you will run into it before the switch. Check the switch for power output, pull out one notch and one terminal is hot, pull out another notch and two terminal are hot. If you have current on the terminal that is hot in the second switch position, follow that wire to the headlights or relay. Its possible if it has a relay it may be bad or have a blown fuse. You should have current to the park/running lights in both outer switch positions.

Mine has happened in the spring and summer, no salt on the roads where I go.

Its the outer rear that has the inward facing stem. The inner rear is extended straight out. There is a tool that aids the r and r of the outer dual transmitter.
