  1. I just replied to 2 posts and everything worked normally. 👌

    I really like that Kobalt torque wrench (can a man have too may tools?), sadly when I mentioned it to DW she reminded me I'm 76 and got no business trying to change a large tire.
  3. Thank you to those who provided the phone # to call direct. I'm getting weary of the GS price increases and " automatic upgrade" to a more costly service.
  4. Real ID act; state by state. All states must be compliant by Oct. 1, 2020. If your DL will expire before then take the required documentation with you to obtain the compliant DL. Border states with Canada began issuing compliant DL right after the Act became law because many worked in one country and worked in the other.

    Before buying a new Kobalt battery, check with Interstate Battery for cost of rebuilding yours. They warranty their work. I had them rebuild 2 12V Sears battery packs for me 2 yrs ago, and they still work like new. I think the cost was $37 ea. That $74 was approx. the cost of 1 new Sears pack.
  6. Well, he peaked at the right time, although, no man is an island it's said.

    All other online reviews I read confirm your assessment. Thanks!

    Lowering coach

    Works the same for my Spartan chassis air system. I really doubt it's the air system, but rather the steel rear suspension components. Here is the Holland rear suspension, it's clear how metal to metal contact may occur when dumping air pressure from the bag.
  9. Thanks for the progress update Larry and Jason! Finding a software problem is not easy or fast, if it was, anyone could do the job; or so my daughter told me. I suspect Apple agrees - now.
  10. This is exactly like your auto air conditioner, only larger- with 45' hoses. When mine didn't work, I bought a tall can of refrigerant+ sealant at WalMart that has a gauge to show when the charge is adequate. I re-filled the system per instructions and haven't had that problem since, that was in 2013. Now the Evans valve has decided to stop shutting off the flow to the heater coils when using the A/C; have to set it on MAX cooling to get cold air.
  11. Do do you propose to prevent breaking the door glass? When an auto door is sprung you may lower the window to prevent breakage when returning it to normal, this is more complicated. Removing the window is safest IMO.
  12. I had good results from B.F.Goodrich T/A commercial tires on my dually; I figured if that's what UPS has on their delivery trucks they are good enough for me. Unless your Class C is overweight, It might pay to contact Michelin directly and inquire about the tire failures and body damage, sure can't hurt.
  13. The HWH online technicial school is a great resource to bookmark or open the pdf and download.
  14. That game was not fancy, clean, or pretty, the down in the trenches defense could have won the game-for either team. I love watching defense work, and I got an excellent dose.My ideal of a great football game ends with a score of 3 -0, and this one was close to that. Both head coaches are outstanding, they executed what I call offensive defense; they didn't wait to react to the other teams offense, the defense proactively executed their defensive to prevent the offense from executing their plan- for many plays. The only downside was the uninspiring commercials and lackluster half-time; and the 5 hours involved.
  15. re: Carlsbad RV parking. We parked the 5er at an RV park in town and drove the dually to the cave. Use Google maps to view space to park your rig at the cave, I can't remember.
  16. Right, I was responding to your comment about CA 199. US 101, IMO is not a bad road to drive, we did with our dually and 5er easily, the key is forget the word "time".
  17. It just occurred to me, the requirements may be included in the innkeepers regulations enacted at state level. This gives some insight into the innkeepers liability, RV parks fall under the regulations in most states. https://scholarship.law.nd.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4407&context=ndlr That's one example, use your search engine to find for any state.
  18. WOW! in 2014 we took the long ferry to NS- short ferry back, and the ferry to PEI -bridge back. Our total cost for the S.M.A.R.T Maritimes caravan was $7,xxx for 6 weeks, which included CG's about 2 meals a week and attractions.. Prices must have skyrocketed.
  19. At the time we had a Chevy dually towing a 40' 5er, driving the 299 from Redding (I 5) to just North of Eureka to join the 101 North. I took me about 6 hrs, and several pull-offs to allow traffic to pass. Some curves required me to take up the entire paved road. Once was enough, I think 30 was was my fastest speed.
  20. Plan your route to the border crossing from NC, then use one of these, your beginning point will then be the border crossing. Canada Google Map- driving directions MapQuest -Canada routes
  21. I want to head South but DW can't travel long distances well, and has Feb. planned for me; painting the interior of our house and remodeling the basement. I'm about 90 miles from Bremen. As to BBQing, I doubt I could get the grill hot enough in this weather, wind chill forecast to be -17° tomorrow.
  22. You only pay one fee to enter and exit PEI.https://confederationbridge.com/tolls-fees/tolls-fees.html View the NS (the Royal Tattoo is a must see) and PEI visitors guides for a wealth of things to do and see. IMO they are the most friendly people in North America.
  23. Nova Scotia campgrounds IN 2014 our SMART caravan stayed at 7 CG's in Nova Scotia, none were bad IMO. IMO the best oceanfront CG was Cove oceanfront campground at Parkers Cove, NS. FWIW there is a large Lobster factory about 1/2 mile walk from the CG. We made the walk 3X the 3 days we stayed there. The fishery had a live 16# lobster when we were there buying lobsters. EDIT: I almost forgot the lobster factory will even boil them for you if you wish. EDIT #2: Roger Moore- 007 on irv2.com has a thread about previously leading caravans to the Canadian Maritimes if you wish to read his information.
  24. That is exactly the way Kiwkee steps operate; https://www.rvtechlibrary.com/exterior/kwikee_svc_manual.pdf This video may help too: https://vimeo.com/45602427
  25. I've been following your thread off and on, what were the individual hydrometer test results for each battery cell? It's virtually impossible to accurately know when they are all connected. re: the steps, the Kwikee service manual may be helpful: https://www.rvtechlibrary.com/exterior/kwikee_svc_manual.pdf Also, this troubleshooting video may also help: https://vimeo.com/45602427
