  1. Hea casuall454 nice Jeep I have an 86 same color no decals.
  2. Batteries are only made by 3 manufacturers regardless of the name on them. Batteries made by Johnson control are the best ones made and tend to have the best warrantee.
  3. Also a neat thing it does is it will print a trip tix like AAA does.
  4. I've had a delorme for several years now it does work with windows10. After you get initial route you go in and modify it for what you want to avoid tunnels cities etc. along your route.Then you can put in mpg and at what level you want to fuel up how many hours you want to drive and it will show proposed stops. It has a pretty good database for points of interest. Works without internet just put puck on dash ant push go. Also has a lot of other features. To many to list. And it is inexpensive has a lot of bang for the buck.
  5. Love the spell check should have been Herman
  6. Her in how did the bugs in the lens tast? Like chicken.
  7. We have been south from Mass a few times we go down inland to avoid cross Bronx,Gw and Baltimore harbor tunnel. As far as gas we fill up on highway might be a little more but no hassle. Have a great trip.
  8. I'd take it off and use it for a boat anchor. If you take some measurements I think you will lower your height by several inches. My dome is the highest thing on the roof.

    Mosquitos

    Try Ben's 30 you can get it at Amazon comet all the way to 95%
  10. Think it would be wise to disable the gen set till you find problem so it doesn't start a fire running in a confined space. I believe you said it was almost to hot to touch around the exhaust area.
  11. Ya and the speed limit is 70 scary. We take our toad every time unless the son and his family are with us he has a trailer so we just borrow his truck if we need to go out.
  12. Does anyone remember the good old days before before computers and cellphones. One could finish a beer without any interruptions or for that matter a whole case.
  13. Bill we've been up several times be sure to pick a day with sever clear weather otherwise you will find out what the inside of a cloud looks like. Another good ride is the kancamagus highway nice windy drive 34.5 miles long some steep spots from Lincoln to Conway no facilities no cell service. Not sure if you can do it with the coach not a bad road some steep sections I think up to 8% not many turnouts big enough to get out and enjoy the scenery.
  14. Thanks tbutler a lot of great info everyone has been sending great things to see after holidays are done we will be putting a plan together
  15. Thanks Brett. I hadn't gotten back to you yet Bill I was looking at what cat spec was for max hp and torque Brett's numbers are what I found. I know that is what I'm looking for and no to chase speed take what It gives you. I may have added to the problem not running up hill right. Also said don't run wot back off downshift and hold rpm. I will practice this in the hills up in nh next spring when I go up thru Franiconia Notch again. Guess I have some work to do before heading for real mountains. Guess we got a little Off subject. Got to get driving technique down have had a cdl fly years but trucks I have driven have been mostly buckets and on mostly flat terrain. DPs are a whole different game.

  17. Bill the dirty cooler is something I inherited with the coach. Have no idea how the bag got in where it was but it did and I got it all out.1st pusher and I'm learning fast I guess the problem was due to the previous owners "meticulous"maintenance. Cat and Freightliner said they had no record of anything being done. I'll get it to where it should be and believe me it will stay their. CW gave it to me for a what I thought was a good price so I had room for unexpected. We won't talk about their service can you say sucks. We will put plenty of miles on it up in NH before we venture west. I have been reading what you guys have said about shifting I'm still learning it. Have had several gas class A mh over the years and won't go back.
  18. I read someplace to put cribbing under the jacks so they don't have to extend out that far and I would think it would prevent stretching the retract springs. Any thought on this theory?
  19. Wildbill, Bill A we are just starting to look into the trip have been talking about it for a while. We will be going out I 90 wondering about terrain hills and road conditions. This summer we went up to Cooperstown the hills killed me overheated on all of them it was in the 90s at the time.CAC is filthy and I found a trash bag between the rad and CAC. I will be cleaning them in the spring no problem right now. A bit cooler now after I got the bag out I could see temp fluctuate normal. This is the only thing left to address. Change regulators and belts and l think I will be good to go. After I get things done I'll run out to the Berkshiers when it gets hot and see how she behaves.
  20. Eyephoto, we're considering Sept. Bill I 90 does look like the way outa town as far as the Rt.back we are still kicking that one around. I mentioned Albuquerque to the wife thinks that might be to much for our first extended trip we are still in the planing stages. We still do a lot of 150 200 mile hops around New England states.Still ringing out problems with the meticulously maintained coach (said the salesperson at Camping World) we got to be real good friends with Milton Cat three months after we bought it but that is a whole other story. I will have the coach all set by the time we go west. Seen enough of the east coast for now time to venture out west.
  21. I hear you on peak tourist time we are thinking of after the minions have returned to the education mill. We are more concerned with weather don't like to wander around if it is real hot. Longest trip so far was to Ft.Sill Oak. For our sons grad from boot camp in last week of Aug. 2002 CAN YOU SAY HOT. Only gone for 2weeks had to cut short due to family med emergency. We tag teamed around the clock to get back. We plan on taking lots of time on this one we are retired now and in no hurry.
  22. We are thinking of going out to Mt. Rushmore next late Summer and were wondering what is the best time weather-wise is to head out that way. Also what are the best things to see.
  23. Chad listen to these guys they have put a lot of miles behind them. When we got our coach tires looked like new all shined up with tire dressing I didn't look at date and after hearing some of the stories went and looked they were the original tires 12 years old don't let looks fool you old tires are time bombs. Had 6 new Michelins installed and ride was so much better it told me that they must have been getting stif from age and I was headed for a disaster . Is stinks to put the monies out at first but after you do the first few miles will make you know it was a good investment.
  24. 1st time fo me but the son has done before. You don't do it indoors only out on the patio away from the house. Be ready about 1 eastern time better put a turbine and wings on your coach if want to get here in time.
