My dp gets 10-11 mpg towing a 1500 Silverado. Diesel fuel cost about 50 cents more per gallon today in Las Vegas, $3.22 TO $3.72. 40% better mileage. I had my oil analyzed at 15k and at 29k and it was still good to go but I changed it anyway. I use Rotella T6 synthetic.

Warm color is around 2700K and pure white is around 6000K.

When the frame is lifted so the tire is off the ground the suspension is at the max travel whether there is air in the bag or not.

How about waiting till it warms up?!! You need to do an actual measurement to get the correct size and shape.

I just failed to air up the chassis. It doesn't make any difference if the bags are full or not, the jacks have a certain travel length which dictates how high the coach will go. If I had raised the front center jack that would have allowed the front to tilt.

Just put in blocking diodes, I would use 18 gauge wire.

I have Carrier roof a/cs with heat strips. Was just in Vegas and they worked great. Got down to the high 30s and the coach was 72. They are a little noisy. They have ducts that face down.

There are a number of systems available and they also read temperature. You can also install transmitters on your toad even if it has factory transmitters, so you can monitor it from the motorhome. This spring Camping World will have the new Tire Minder system which will allow you to read just one of the vehicles at a time when you separate them.

You might check to see if there is a restriction in the duct work between the air intake and the filter. The gauge can be tested with a vacuum gauge pump tester.

I'm glad I winter at home in Arizona where mornings in the low 40's and afternoons in the mid 70's is just comfortable for me!

Find the power wire to the shade switches and put a on-off switch in series and mount the switch under the dash.

I think Mobil 1 is for cars. I use Rotella t 6 synthetic which is for trucks, motorhomes.

Check the tank temp with a infrared thermometer to see if the water is indeed hot.

It does have everything to do with twisting the body. If the front suspension is all the way down onto the stops in the air bags and you lift on corner of the rear the body will twist. If the front end is up a little then it can tilt. I lifted the left side to change a tire and the twist was too much for the windshield. Had the front been up it would have tilted also.

You may have some blockage in the fittings. Is the tank clean and free of mineral buildups? Flush the tank out and check all of the fittings.

Why don't you raise the toilet by putting a 2 1/2 inch spacer at the base, unscrew the flange from the holding tank and insert a 3 inch pvc pipe extender. Thats what I did with mine.

Unless the converter has a voltage control that shuts it off when the battery voltage gets to a certain point it will stay on. If it stays on it will boil the batteries if on too long.

After I clean the radiator I spray the engine and wash it off. All of the parts are basically water proof or resistant or we couldn't drive in the rain.

I use a product made by Spray Nine. Its called Grez Off. I spray it from the outside using a spray bottle and let it soak for about 15 minutes. Since its water soluble it rinses off easy. This product is capable of loosening the hardest baked on grease.

If your near Quartzite there is a place called Gamblers that has surplus rv parts and I have seen those plastic handles there.

Sometimes traveling in a lower gear will give better mpg, depends on the terrain. That can be verified by instant mpg reading on a Scan Gauge or similar devise such as Read Relay 5. I always adjust my speed by viewing my Road Relay.

You should gain almost 1 mpg by slowing down to 55-60 mph. I believe if you want more than that you would have to go diesel. I have a 32 ft diesel and tow a Silverado 1500 and get between 10 and 11 mpg driving at 57-59 mph.

How about installing a power off switch?

A TPMS system is the only way to accurately monitor your pressure and temperature. I even have a transmitter on the spare, a flat spare is useless.

At Thousand Trails in Las Vegas it was 39 this morning and about 65 this afternoon.
