    Had an issue 2 nights ago in Lordsburg, Nm Showed full signal and connected to T-mobile 4g. Could not open anything at all. I can't see Lordsburg being overcongested with traffic as there is not much there. Called Tech Connect and they responded in an hour. I am now in Tombstone and all is working fine again. Tech connect says they did nothing on their end . . . Go figure

    I just did a search online and picked one . . . We're staying at Picacho KOA for a week on the 15th. There are 10 or 12 RV parks in the area. Hope it is warmer there than where we are now in Marathon Texas at a balmy 23 degrees this morning. Our rig is 12 years old and no one even asked the year or age. As long as it does not look like a rolling dumpster you will be fine.

    My quick thoughts are:

     Diesels have more power, and are quiet to drive since the engine is in the back, but repairs are much more expensive.

    Gas units have less power, but are easier and cheaper to maintain.

    I prefer gas units (i've had 3), since i do a lot of maintenance myself, and parts are easily obtainable.  

    I do all my maintenance also myself. All parts are available at NAPA and even Amazon. They have all filters, belts, etc. Oil changes cost a bit more due to the amount of oil required but it is worth it for me. I would also suggest if you get a diesel pusher . . . Find one with a side radiator as they are much easier to service than a rear radiator rig.

    We have friends parked in our driveway with a Pace Arrow gasser, 2009 model.  It's 38 feet (I think it is longer) and his biggest peeve is finding a gas station, towing a car, that he can maneuver in.  Diesel pusshers can use truck stops or other easy access lanes. Others on here will say they have not problem with finding or maneuvering but that is individual opinion, like my friends.

    We have a very nice 43' DP. It is in storage from October to June(ish). every 5 to 6 weeks I take it out for about 25 mile ride just to exercise it. Hardly run the generator during storage months and have never had a problem but I do get it serviced when time/hours/just want to, is up.

    It comes down to what YOU want. What you will be comfortable with. They all have their good points and bad points.

    Yup I’ve had several gassers and it us a pain finding a gas station to get into and fill up. Most filling stations are set up for cars and not a 40’ rig with a car behind it.

    Our diesel sits all summer in Massachusetts at our house there. No issues. . . . You're gonna get a lot of opinions as to why one is better than the other and my gasser rides just as nice. Only thing I can suggest is go to a dealer and take both for a test drive. 

    Every gasser I gave had rides like a truck. Can't hear the person next to you talk. I will NEVER purchase another gas rig.

    Have you had the generator checked for voltage output and frequency. Check voltage input at inverter/converter. How old is the converter/inverter. Never heard of inverters not liking generator power as long as it is putting out properly.

    It just amazes me that you can't get a hold of anyone in the tech connect department. Can't file a ticket online for troubleshooting or anything. I have a battery that bulged in my unit and need a replacement.

     

    They certainly take your money every month though

    In my Allegro Bus manual it says you can use the dump feature to give you more clearance for a low garage or carport. I don't think you can turn much with it in lower mode. I have the PowerGlide chassis. Not sure which you have but it sounds like you can't if you put it in gear and it raises. Try putting it in gear and hit the dump button.
