    I have successfully used the T-Mobile Home Internet (I suspect about the same as Verizon) in my bus for a couple of years. I gave them a fixed address and have moved all over the US without issue. We still have DirecTV satellite service with a Winegard Trav’ler but we do stream a few shows each night. The service only costs $30/month and we have never had an issue with the fact that it is supposed to be at a fixed location.

    I we ever drop DirecTV satellite service we will move to Starlink and drop the Home Internet service as it would really not be necessary at all. We would absolutely have a removeable roof mount or maybe a 2nd ground mount antenna that I could just swap out on the rare occassion that we were deep in the trees.

    The big thing at that point would be figuring out how to watch the Network TV programming on my schedule and not the broadcast schedule like I can now with my DirecTV DVR.

    Wouldn’t pay $.01 to join POG! If you can’t run a free forum, you don’t know what you are doing.

    Thanks, but no thanks.

    I had Prevost replace my engine air compressor despite one shop saying it was critical and one asking why I wanted to do that. After the replacement there was a serious air leak at the new compressor and I had to take it to another Prevost shop to have that corrected. Just suggesting that the new air compressor might be the source of the problem.

    Good luck! Mine is a 40′ 98 CC as well. Not the original owner! I’m impressed that you are.

    My ’88 CC had 2 of the cruiseairs behind that front bumper and yes, you have to unbolt those bolts and drop the bumper. The 3rd could be anywhere!

    Not many people left here. Other than spending thousands on routine maintenance, I’ve got nothing!

    Good Sam does still cover us, you just have to pay for the premium service which includes towing for Class A MH. They have had to tow our coaches 4 times in the last 25 years. The change to the premium service requirement happened about 6 or 7 years ago.

    It was fun while it lasted but things have gone done hill since the sale of this board. The posts are mostly by 1 person these days who happens to be doing a lot of work on his coach. Otherwise, no new articles, no real help being asked for or given and now this new, ridiculous format for the Forum. I will be checking in as usual but I will have to see if it becomes more trouble than it’s worth.

    “Change is tough” does not apply when you can’t follow a thread or figure out which posts are new.

    Their was a simple format on the last forum with new topics highlighted and new posts clearly listed. This forum has neither and makes questions and answers impossible to follow.

    I only found this because I got a notification that there was a reply to my post.

    But.. not by dropping something. It would have to be flushed to provide lift to the discharge. Again, unless im missing something. Its been awhile since i worked on mine so i very well could be. Maybe you guys arent talking about the flapper in the bowl.

    We had bus air showing low PS when we took it over there.

    Henry the tech pulled out all of the Freon he could to get an idea what was going on and we had a bad front seal on compressor, a bad gasket and leaking suction hose.

    They got the hose ordered in and completed all of the work.

    The whole team was very professional and accommodating.

    Definitely would recommend them and go back if we needed more work done.

    Best regards

    March 14, 2025 at 10:29 pm in reply to: Battery Wiring

    Tested today batteries SOC 100 percent resting volts 13.4 .Started today after I got it all back together, Ran all lights and Aqua Hot for around 2 hours and checked battery app and using 4.5 amps and 1 battery was discharging and 3 were in stand by mode, At this point I turned on front and rear the old rope lights around ceiling and windows (Non Led) and then looked at app and all 4 batteries were discharging all around 35 amps, Next I plugged in a electric heater, Now I have a electric heater-rope lights all led’s Aqua hot till it shut off and now using total 160amps capacity left 1078 amp hours ran like this for around 2 hours, Shut everything off replaced a small 4/0 cable from knife switch to a shunt was getting a little warm, Turned everything back on for another hour and a half overall using 160 amps, Never thought about testing with a electric heater it pulls some amps. Then looked at app SOC battery #1 75percent #2 79percent #3 77percent #4 81percent all 13.2v Not a bad test way better then before. The gap seems to be closing on SOC. Shut everything off no charge or usage will it balance on it’s own tonight??

    Cruisair and OTR air are 2 completely different beast. Don’t get the 2 different systems confused.
