I have been using HID bulbs for about 4 years but be aware that most of the conversion kits are not DOT approved so some cop could write you up. I think its rather a remote chance that someone would catch you.

We just drove from AZ across to In through KS and then to WA in the last month and had good weather only one day of rain.

I have driven with the gen running the ac and had no problems so I think using the heat pump would be the same.

Persistent Odor To Water After Winterizing Coach
desertdeals69 replied to srfridley's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
Hydrogen Peroxide works great in sanitizing and eliminating odors. -
I have a Prius which has rubber stems with senders. I use Tire Minder on it when I tow with the front on the dolly.

Are you at 119 volts, the same instant when the coach is at 100 volts?
-
Use deep cycle batteries, preferably 6 volt golf cart in pairs.

If it is an Intelitec switching system the contacted washer may have a bad spot on it. They are repairable.

On Tire Minder if you have aluminum stems you have to use transmitters with aluminum threads.

I installed a 1998 ISB 275 with an Allison 3060 in my 93 32 ft. I tow a 1500 Silverado and coast to coast I average between 10 and 11 mpg. I drive at 58-62 mph, mine shifts into 6th gear at 54 mph.

We use Thousand Trails about 100 plus nights a year. Most parks are almost full and on average will maintained.

We have MASA which if we have a medical emergency it will fly us to the nearest hospital. It also covers any minor children traveling with us. They will return your coach and toad. There is no limit on the cost and no deductible. This coverage is world wide.

I remember going to a FMCA convention back in the 70's and there were about 50 FMC Dodge 440-3 gas pushers.

The Surge Guard is an excellent choice. Customer service is tops. I have the 50 amp unit with the remote lcd readout. I don't notice any noise from the unit as mine is located in the bay with the power cords. Be sure to used oxgard or simular coating on the terminals because the term in the unit is aluminum and the wire is copper and will corrode in time without.

I believe that there is a pump that is being made that has a pressure bypass within itself so that the pump always runs when water is needed. This would eliminate the need for an external tank, saving space, etc. I have been using a variable speed pump that when the volume of usage is low the pump runs slow.

My Spartan chassis came with air over hydraulic disc brakes. They worked fine until I went with 22.5 wheels and then I had trouble stopping. I changed to full air brakes and no more problems.

Full timing is a personal thing. Only you can decide what requirements you need. As far a different brands go chances are that some units within the same manufacturer will have more problems than others. What problems did you have with your Thor?

What Is The Best Way To Stay Connected Online?
desertdeals69 replied to tbutler's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
I have been using the Verizon jet pack for a few months. Verizon use to have unlimited data usage but that was years ago and if you had it then you are grandfathered in now. Mine is 5 gig for $50 month. It works good enough that I discontinued my hard wire dsl connection at home and constantly use the jet pack on the road, which is about 8 months a year. -
I have found that those people that buy and install these type of devices tend to drive with a lighter foot and will realize some increase in mpg but that increase is not from the device. I have tested a number of different devises and have not seem any increases under the same driving conditions. I have never spent a dime on these devices but have tested for various mfg and individuals.

I have installed a 235 amp engine alternator and it handles it just fine with only 1/4 mpg decrease on my Road Relay 5. I don't do this on a regular basis as I rarely travel in cold areas.

I am using the same Directv hd receivers in my motorhome as in my house. I have a slimline 5 lnb dish in both locations. My motorhome has a MotoSat automatic.

I go on Nv 95 from Las Vegas to Fallon then to Ca and north to Bend. I've done that a number of times.

If you are on propane it may be a breeze blowing the flame out. -
What Is Considered Low, Medium, High Generator Usage?
desertdeals69 replied to K.William's topic in Buying an RV
In our shop some years ago when we were an Onan dealer we rebuilt a 6.5 Onan that was in a tool truck. It had some 10,000 hours on it as it ran all day long to power the a/c. We replaced the pistons and valves and it ran like new. I would think that it would be almost impossible to wear one out in an r/v application.
