    Determine the Ohm rating of the repeater system you are looking at buying. The CB cabling will most likely be 50-ohm, and a lot of good booster systems out there right now seem to be 75-ohm. Also, if the cable is RG-58, max length is 20-ft, for RG-6 is 50-ft, RG-11 is 100-ft

    Dave…

    We retired and sold the house & most of our accumulated “stuff” 4+ years ago. Best thing we’ve ever done. Met some wonderful folks (and a few “stinkers”) along the way, stayed in some really beautiful places, and some places we’ll not venture back to. But we’re making memories every day. Being able to be truly “infinitely flexible” with our time and travel plans has allowed a true sense of freedom for us. As Tim said, the lifestyle is not for everyone, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything. Sounds like you’ve planned well…now’s the time to put the plans in motion!!

    Looking forward to meeting you guys out there somewhere…

    That’s just offensive Jon, no one here or any other place ever said Buddy has standards!

    (Sorry Buddy, I’m trying to work my way out of this… You know how Tom gets)!

    Like Les … humid SE. I always add Biobor at each fuel stop, according to the lable .. just a little. And only fill at high volume truck stops. Never had a fuel problem.

    WOW! We loved Mountain Falls in Lake Toxaway (have been there twice). If I had known that you wanted to drive that far to Asheville, I would have suggested it.

    The road to Mountian Falls either from the north or south is very twisty but doable. Be careful.

    The motor rolls it up and holds in place Andre, the air is used to push it off the coach to lower. That’s what I remember from mine, if that’s not correct, someone will no doubt rip me a new one. You don’t need air to lower it, if you use the manual motor button and pull the awning away from the coach, the motor will lower it. You should be doing that often, lowering past 90 degrees to remove the end caps and let the water run out. Water in the arms is what kills the arms.

    Looks like Al traded down. His avatar is now a Prevost and not a classic GMC.

    Thinking and pondering about this, I think the wording that the parks use is wrong. They should say ‘coach condition rules apply’, not just a random number (10).

    I think 99% of the parks that state the ’10 year rule’ actually don’t have that rule, it’s really a ‘condition’ rule.

    Bottom line, I like what Jeff says a few posts above, let them advertise and note that they have a 10 yr. rule so that the PC members know and they can vote with their dollars.

    I hate to see PC miss out on dues!

    Safe travels,

    Mark

    Tom

    your right mine came with 8 4D’s so most likely those two were a cost effective replacement for the previous owner.

    Andy….in looking at that triple with the pontoon boat….I believe the guy is laying on his back underneath the rear of the coach. With that much of a train, he’s got plenty of room for problems!!!

    Jon has a Bus Butler to take care of the manual labor chores he no longer has time to perform.

    I always try to park next to Jon when we’re dry camping because the rose petals all over the ground allow me to sneak out at night and dump my black tank and nobody knows any different!

    All my toilet paper is in the shape of, that’s right, rose petals. (Red, Yellow and White)

    May 8, 2017 at 6:54 pm in reply to: Pressure Pro Pulse On-Off

    Pressure Pro Pulse question/problem.

    It’s worked flawlessly until today. The display now only displays a single tire low pressure warning screen for the Jeep (we’re in cold weather and a few minutes on the road fixes that) and a Bus ID number.

    Despite going through all the menus and checking stuff, which seem to be accurate, the display will not go back to showing all tire pressures and temps. I’ve unplugged it several times but no dice. Any ideas?

    Hi guys and thank you for the well wishes and information.

    The bus has 168,000 miles and the filters were changed 3 months ago. I didn’t drive home at 15 mph I drove at 55 mph. It would keep running at 55 until I had to slow to around 10 or come to a complete stop. From a full stop when I couldn’t go more than 15 mph, after a 1/4 mile to a mile it would go right back to 55.

    The guy I bought it from thinks it’s a loose wire somewhere in the engine compartment. If you guys have any ideas of what I should try before taking it to a shop I’d sure be happy to try it.

    One other thing. If I turned the engine off and back on again it would run at any speed I wanted it too. 65, 70 no problem. But it would only do it for a short time, maybe 4 to 10 miles and then back to 55 when the red light would come on.

    The code the test flashed was 63-1. And the cruse and Jake didn’t work!
