Usually the best fuel mileage is between 58/61. You want your transmission to be in 6th gear, if it won't, that can be set in the computer. Mine shifts into 6th at 57mph.

When you add distilled water you are not changing the makeup of the electrolyte but replacing the water that has evaporated. A charged battery shouldn't freeze.

You should try some different TT campgrounds, we find them pretty nice.

I used the cable from Home Depot and 3 weeks ago in Las Vegas it was 24 degrees and I rolled it up without a problem. It is #10 3 conductor wire. I used Camco 30 amp plug end with a handle.

I have changed to caps with floats and have a gallon of distilled water higher than the batteries. When the level indicator says the water is low I just open the valve until they are full. A lot easier and quicker.

I would fill the batteries and then charge until it goes to float and then store it.

The front tires are strapped in place and when I have towed on a dolly before the vehicle may or may not have had a lock.

Do you charge the batteries with a inverter/charger? If so it usually has a 3 stage charger so when the batteries are fully charged it will float charge to keep them up.

Craigs list, RV Trader, FMCA magazine, local newspaper, etc.

You probably have NACO

A little history of how I got into Thousand Trails. About seven years ago we went to a sales presentation at a campground in Texas. What they presented to us cost about $8000. We liked the concept but not the price. I went on ebay and found it for $99 plus the transfer fee of $750. We used it about 50-75 times a year. We found out that there are many different contracts out there as no two were alike. Ours allow 2 week stays with no 7 out, could go campground to campground all year long. We could reserve 60 days ahead. We upgraded for $4000, so our total cost of the system is less than $5000. Now with 5 campground systems and 3 week limit before we have to move, no time out of system, reservations up to 90 days ahead, frozen dues, staying some 130 days a year we felt is was a good investment for us. Like anything else it has to fit what you need, at a price you think is right, for it to work.

Have you had your coach weighed? Sometimes the air pressure is different in the front than the rear.

We through the tunnel about 2 years ago and I recall a pulloff area just before the entrance and they check us to see if the propane was shut off. We were headed north.

Check the door seal.

We went to the meeting last Jan or Feb and yes it is a sales presentation. It was to our liking so we sprang for the deal. Basically it gave us 3 more campground systems to choose from and 3 weeks in and 0 out of the system. Reservations are 90 days out. It added Mid Atlantic, LTR, and Outdoor World. It also freezes your dues. There are some other benefits but I don't recall at the moment. We have stayed in several campgrounds in the northeast which we didn't have before. So far since our April renewal we have stayed 106 nights and are going to Pio Pico in 2 weeks.

In my opinion since you are a newbie I would suggest a coach thats more main stream.

I've been through that area several times and there have always been mountains everywhere you look!

I've stayed there, its small but nice.

It took less than a week, working 4 to 6 hours a day. I did it alone and it would have been much easier if I had someone else to help me. The video showed 2 guys, one on each side with scaffolding unrolling the new rubber, and of course they did it in a matter of minutes. I started at one end and spread glue across about a foot for and aft and then rolled the new material that distance and then repeated the process.

I'm not a full timer but I use Thousand Trails, NACO, LTR, Mid Atlantic. Outdoor World. When I log in I can see all of the campgrounds I've stayed in, at least for the year, which this past year has been 106 nights. I can print out for a copy. I have stayed in other campgrounds only about 5 nights.

I did a lot of crawling on my hands and knees, with knee pads. You have to pay attention to what you are doing when you are high in the air!

I replaced my rubber roof last spring before I had my coach painted. Other than being a little time consuming it wasn't that big a deal. I did the job in my garage. The roof airs were the biggest problem to solve. I undid the mounting and suspended them with ropes from the garage trusses and let them hang above my head. Dicor suggest after pulling the old rubber off that the surface be sheeted with 1/8 inch lujan which I did. The job was easier than I thought it would be, just took longer. My roof was 19 years old so I got more than my money out of it.

What kind of roof is it, rubber, fiberglass,metal?

Last Monday in Las Vegas it was 24 degrees and my spigot and hose at the campground was frozen solid. Not supposed to happen this far south!

I carry a wheel chock only because it was in the coach when I bought it. I have never had to use it. Air brakes need air to release the park brake. You can't move until you have enough air pressure to release the park brake.
