If you have accessibility or ventilation issues with your batts, AGM's will be the choice. Higher cost but it's a once and done. Wish I would have known then what I know now. I would have def went with AGM's. Currently have six, 6 volt Crowns, flooded. Saving up now for my AGM's and they will be Crown's as well.

Give it a day or two to dry out and then check again. This should tell you if the rain caused the problem or there is a short somehwere.
Herman
I agree, def sounds like something got wet. Might just be very minor. Major wetness usually pops a fuse. Time to check seals and all connections, etc, etc. Waiting for things to dry out can be very stressful so some adult beverage might be in order.

Like you said, they are out there.........
and I shall continue to photograph them. Maybe I should start a separate album. Any suggestions for the title? How about "Stupid should hurt" or "Hacks R Us".

We were planning on doing Gillette but had to change our plans. We are going to go to the Midwest rally Aug 8,9,10 &11 in Amana Iowa instead. Anybody else?

Haha, yeh. Reminds me of another saying, there's 3 kinds of people in the world, those that are good with numbers and those that aren't.

Found another one. This one is really bad.

Really looks great. Best of luck with it. Hope to see you out on the road somewhere. A gorgeous coach like that will be hard to miss. Safe journey

All is well here. Back in PA at my Cousin's and will be back on the farm next week. Going to wrap up a few things and then heading back west around July 23rd. Can't wait to get out of PA. Going to Elkhart for some upgrades, then to the Midwest rally in Amana IA. Not sure after that but we will def be back in Tucson by Dec. Hope to link up with you both at some point.

Found this place while visiting friends in TN. Outstanding little park. Private owner bought it last year. Has a lot going for it. FHU, cable and wifi. Not only does the wifi work but it is really good. Big roomy showers, laundry and a dog walk (bags provided). Gravel sites but level. All for $30 a night. Ken and Valerie have done a great job with this place and we would highly recommend it.

I use google maps a lot. Switch it over to satellite view and look for other RV's or trucks. If I see some there it is a good sign but we always check with the manager anyway. Also, the satellite view is a good birds eye view of the area around the parking lot. You can get a good idea of how much room you got to maneuver too. On a side note, I use the satellite view for everyplace I'm going to go into. Whether it's a campground or a travel center I've never been too before. Google satellite is a real handy tool for us big rig typs. Safe journey.

Welcome. You may soon get tired of that dolly and go with a toad you can flat tow. Or you may like it. Either way, get out there and start getting some road miles under ya. Safe journey.

Bill
There could be something to that. I do have a long deflector covering 2 of the drain slots on the driver side. The other one and the 2 on the DW side have the silicone where they were but they were never with the coach when I got it. Interesting.

Welcome Folks, we are fairly new (2 years fulltiming) and you are in the right place if you're looking for info. Best of luck and safe journey

Forget the "Wine pump" I'm pulling up to the Beer pump.
All great advice, even yours Herman, haha. I do have some tape and I'm going to get one of those stethoscopes. Thanks Guys, I'll let ya know how things turn out.

BTW, mirrors often contribute to this.
Great idea, blue painters tape. I got some. Thank you Sir

I have an annoying whistle at 60 mph and above. We tried to locate it but so far, nothing. It's definitely up front and up high. Thought it was the CB antenna but nope, not that. Just wondering if you guys have any suggestions short of putting it in a wind tunnel.

If they are too lazy to walk to the designated dog walk they have no business owning a dog. One man in the RV resort at FT. Myers Beach continually opened the door, let his dog out, then let it back in after the deed was done. Every time I found dog crap in my yard I dropped it down in the cowling under his windshield wipers, where the A/C draws in air____.
Haha, should add a few drops of Fox urine as well. You can get it at most any sporting goods store. Just sayin'

That would be reversed if you were south of the equator

I'm up for it. We had plans for going to Gillette but things changed and we'll be in PA till end of July. Then we'll be stopping at Elkhart for a few upgrades and then on to Amana.

We'll be at the Rally in Amana, Iowa Aug 8-11 if anybody else is going.

They don't make 'em like they used to. None of us are getting out of this alive. RIP Top.

Yep, that's the beer but I was lacking quantity. I stay away from the hard stuff. For some reason, I drink the hard stuff, the cops show up. Like Dirty Harry says, "A Man's got to know his limitations".

46 minutes ago, manholt said:Have a Shriner friend that lives there on 64 sections off land...born there, school and now been back since 2003. He has seen them many times, mostly in July to October...his theory is that they are a reflection of head lights against the shimmering heat coming of the Presidio Hwy., and Hwy.90. Could be, but the lights have been seen, since before cars! Camp fires maybe, a lot of Apache & Mescalero encampments in that area, and Mexico. Whatever the cause, who really cares? I think their great...especially, after a good dinner and a half dozen Lone Star's! At Bob's ranch house, half way between, Marfa and the Rio Grande, the lights are awesome...
Yeh, I read about the research they did and it pretty much pointed to headlights on 67. Thought that was the end of it. Then when I got out there, one of the marker signs talks about a cowboy that saw them in 1880. According to them, the mystery is unsolved. We like the area so I'm sure we will be back and give it another go. I'll be sure and have at least 6 drools when we get there, haha.

Dang, we were so hoping to do Gillette. If it wasn't for having our storage unit burgled, we would be there. Here in PA till end of July. Then it will be west to Elkhart for a few upgrades and then the Midwest rally in Amana IA. After that we will be heading to Cody WY if anybody is still in the area.
