What I am using will work on most non computer controlled coaches. When I plug in my 20 amp cord I have an automatic transfer switch which energizes the rear air and a couple of outlets. I have about $65 invested including the 30 foot 12/3 cord and switching relay, etc.

I have been using my "cheater box" that I have designed, at the current campground we are at for the past 2 weeks. We are in northeast Ohio and its been in the 90s on occasion. Both airs are running just fine off the pedistal which has a 30 and a 20 gfi. As I have posted before it is possible. Everything in the coach is wired electrically correct to allow this type of connection.

I am using the Aero short without the resonator for the last 8 years. A little louder than the stock muffler but since its in the back I don't hear it. Slight increase in fuel milage but it was combined with some other changes.

I use the pfj card with a lifetime Good Sam membership card and get 6 cents off the cash price and use my hometown credit card which gives me 5% cash back. I just bought 148 gallons of diesel in Pacific Mo.

Great place, one of our favorites. We stay at the national campgrounds with no hookups. The bugs are not bad if the wind is blowing. I don't know the condition of the road in the Avon area since the last storm. Ferry from Cedar island to Okracoke is nice and then drive up the island chain. Several campgrounds along the way.

1. 10k-15k 2. 100,000+ 3. 200,000+ 4. 15-30 minutes 5. 1-2 6. 58-62 7. yes 8. 1/2 inch camp sleep pad across the front held in place with 6 ft bungee cords. I tow a 99 Silverado 1/2 ton 6 cyl 5 speed.

The best park is the one you think is best. Just try them out and decide for yourself.

The springs have to be wound when the roller is up. Somewhere about 20 turns. The mfg should have the exact number for your size.

The only real problem with flat tvs has been the plasma if they are mounted in front and travel flat against the ceiling or are used in high elevation. They will fail. I have been using and installing flat screens since they first came out. There have been many improvements over the years, the most recent major improvement being the LED/LCD. They run on much less current and run cooler. They are also much thinner. I have mounted a 40 inch Samsung in the my own coach and hinged it at the top with gas struts to hold it open and has storage for Blu-Rays and DVDs. In my bedroom I have mounted a 19 inch Hitachi LED/LCD flat on the bottom of the overhead cabinet so when I'm in bed I just look up. The LED/LCD tvs are as thin as 1.2 inches and extremely durable. If you plan to run the tvs on the inverter be sure your inverter has pure sine wave. Very important, some say its not, because they have used modified sine wave and it worked, but for how long?

What is now considered a class B started started out as a van conversion in the 60s. They gained in popularity in the 70s. Then the motorhomes became of age and were improved to what we have today. The current crop of class B's has also improved. At Madison I parked about 52 Road Treks compared to about 1800 Class A's. I would not call that a trend of any size. Each type has appeal to certain RVers.

Dipping the tank in solder is pretty common in the industry. My only concern is that the efficiency drops somewhat because the fins aren't as thin. It will make the radiator stronger but I don't think it's necessary in a motorhome app it's much easier riding

I would use a dryer in the air line if I was using one of the aftermarket compressors. I use my onboard air which has a dryer and cuts off a 132 lbs. I use it for air wrenches and for airing up tires when I change them on the wheels.

The gauge sender is probably located in the intake manifold. I think that if that was the problem the engine would still run ok. You might check the turbo. Take the intake hose off at the turbo and carefullly reach in and feel if the turbine/compressor shaft is free to turn. Should turn very free but have no side or end play. The waste gate has a very strong spring to keep it closed so I doubt if it is stuck open because it would have had to be opened under high boost at the moment of failure.

It sounds like a thermostat problem. When it goes on the contacts have a magnet that holds it together for a degree or two or three before it breaks contact. That is so it won't rapidly cycle.

We run the refrigerator on electric with the inverter when going down the road.

We traveled all through Alaska sometimes 30mph. Whats the rush, enjoy the view. With the proper protection and driving techniques our damage was one rock chip in the windshield. No marks on the toad. Went on lot of gravel roads. Spent a month there, it was priceless.

We cruised four times and enjoyed each and every one, however one needs to drive through Alaska to fully appreciate the state and mingle with the natives. After a month of touring we had one rock chip on the windshield. You have to drive with caution when on gravel roads because trucks coming the other way run about 70 mph and kick up a lot of the gravel. The trick is to slow way down and angle towards the shoulder. Would like to do it again, so much to see and do.

We have been to DC a number of times and have always stayed at Greenbelt National park. The subway station is about a mile and a half from the entrance to the park. We usually go after 9:30 in the morning and return after 7:00 in the evening that way we can take our bicycles. Getting around DC is tough if your walking and a bike is really handy. Mostly flat terrain. We have even gone on a bike tour with the National Park Service. The park only has showers and bathrooms. There is water and dump station. We usually stay a week to two weeks.

We always check out the gift shops looking for magnets from the area. We have several hundred magnets from around the world that are displayed on a big board at home.

No matter where you visit there are going to be tourist traps. The neat thing about going on the last Alaska cruise of the season is that the shop keepers discount their stuff heavily. I bought five fifty five dollar jackets for five dollars each. If you go to china, some of the stuff isn't even made there. It's made in Thailand or Malaysia or somewhere else because the labor in China is too high.

It might be one of the cac hoses. I had one come off because the hose clamp broke. Reacted the same way as you discribe.

If your refrigerator temp is 36-40 the freezer should be 0-15. You might check the door seal and make sure its 100%.

The radiator coolant temp is 180-200 degrees at the top and then the cooling with the air flowing through the fins cools the coolant roughly 50 degrees. The cooler coolant then enters the engine water pump and is circulated through the engine cooling passages which reheats it to 180-200 degrees. The trans cooler in the lower part of the radiator is placed at the coolest part of the coolant and it does heat the coolant somewhat. In the cold winter it helps heat the transmission fluid which helps the transmission warm up faster. On my diesel pusher the trans cooler is in the bottom radiator hose and the trans temp is in the 170 degree range at highway speeds in the summer.

Will arrive on Sunday for the GS rally with a new paint job if it gets done. Sitting in Bremen Indiana now waiting for it to be finished.

This is not new. At Perry Ga last year I parked 15 towables, 8 electrics and 7 non-electrics that had pre-registered. The top brass wandered by from time to time to keep an eye on things. I put them on the corner of the family electric lot and across the road for non-electrics. They behaved as well as our regular members!
