We are on the road, and yesterday I had a conversation with a neighbor that has the same 400HP ISL that we have. During the course of the conversation, I asked what they got for MPG. "6.2, with or without the toad." I said that seemed a bit low, and asked what they used for cruise speed...75!!
People like that should be banned from driving a RV.

This is what we're considering. Comes with a (3) yr guarantee vs (2) for most and is on sale. Get the flow through sensors for the rv, if available, that allow adding air when on the tires, but the recommendation is the regular ones for any towed vehicles. Seems car washes like to eat the flow through ones due to them sticking out too far.

Thank you so much for all the information. I did some other research on my own and decided for $44, I would take the risk. Huge trip (for us) this fall, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas. Surely, I will find somewhere to stay!
If not, there's always Wally World.

I have a 2011 Dodge Ram 2 wheel drive. Can I tow this vehicle without altering the vehicle
According to this manual which can be downloaded, no. Do you not have a manual for that new of a vehicle?

Hello jc21014
I took your advice and ordered a digital line monitor from TRC. I also tested my SurgeGuard with a variable voltage regulator and found it does shut off at 102v as advertised but it takes 6 seconds to shut down. I think the voltage was dipping up and down so fast in this situation that the device just couldn't react fast enough. At least now I can document the problem and take action. Thanks
If you haven't done so, I would still consider calling the Surge Guard folks and running your scenario by them. A 6 second reaction time, by the surge protector, would be unacceptable to me and might warrant a replacement.

You need to place a call to SurgeGuard and run the scenario by them.
It could be a defective unit and need replacing. We have the 50a unit and it has shut our unit down on a low voltage situation. If you don't have a ems with a led readout, I would suggest getting one or the other of these and keep them plugged in.

I will except tires no older than 12 months.When buying new tires what is an acceptable date code? How old should the tires be? Any ideas.

Wi-Fi that actually works.

Lichtsinn Motors http://www.lichtsinn.com/ a dealer about a mile or so from the factory has a good reputation.
I second the recommendation for Lichtsinn Motors. The people in their parts dept are also top notch.

These people sell DIY kits.

I to had been a little skeptical with most portable compressors ability to pump up those big ole mh tires. That changed when several members on other forums recommended this one from Sears. I bought one and it will do the J O B.

I just bought 6 tires usings the Advantage program paid $2906.00
included mounting balanccing new steel valve stem and old tire disposal.
I got the tires at Service Tire Truck in Millville NJ. A great place the service was excellent and the manager Jim was nice to work with.
And the size was????????

Thank u for that info Mr W.
Our ISL 370 Cummins is the side rad so should be easier to clean. -
When everyone refers to the front of the radiator, is that looking at it from the outside of the mh or from the inside?
We have the side rad on our DSDP but I see a cleaning in the near future. -
Why don't you just plug it in with the inverter on?
That is a possibility, just never thought about doing it that way.
-
We carry this compressor from Sears in our rig along with an extension cord. Fire up the gennie and air away with no problems on our 22.5 tires.
-
You might look at Hankooks. We have run them on our cars and MH for some time and have been pleased. The price is nice to.

I'm curious as to whether a trap is required for washing machines? I Just had Camping World install a washing machine and they did not plumb a trap. That surprised me. I would think that would be standard practice and important to prevent unhealthy conditions. What does the industry require? What would Camping World's reasoning be?
CW is becoming well known for their incompetence and frequent failure to use common sense when working on rv's. I would take it right back to them and have the service manager explain why it wasn't done, then insist that it be done.

We use the ladder mounts sold by Kiley Mold for attaching to the rear ladder. We also bought (4) approximately silver dollar sized clear suction cups, secured them to the other FMCA plaque with small screws/nuts and mount it on the front windshield just above the dash.
-
I personally will not be in any site that is so unlevel that the front tires are off the ground. I will, to a minor degree, use minimal boards if needed. I would not feel comfortable having a 30000# mh suspended even a few inches off the ground on jack stands as the potential for damage/booboos occurring is their.

Seems to be a nice stopover. Thanks for the info.

We had a similiar "reduced speed/power" situation last week while enroute to Branson, Mo last week on our ISL 370 Cummins. There is only (1) combo fuel/water separator filter on our rig and the general consensus of most was a filter issue.(Wolfe10 was one of the responders on another forum
) This filter was supposedly changed 8-9000 miles ago but I replaced it with a new one at the cg and it seemed to run fine on the way home. Will be taking it to Cummins-Onan and have them check the fuel pump specs to make sure it is working correctly. -
JC,
Best to open an inlet lower and install fans exhausting at the top of the cabinet. But, cabinet configuration does not always allow this arrangement. Just be sure to have the inlet in the coolest area that you can use.
Thank you for the info.

We also use the ready brake system and will be changing to the one that stores on the mh.
