Dang Jon, you raised the fees? Double of nothing is nothing. Sounds like a heck of a deal. Thanks more than you boys know.
PS,
Do you guys accept donations?

Since we purchased our bus last year, this site has been invaluable. As we’ve prepared to hit the road full time (which by the way, today is the day we move into the bus full time!) I have picked up so many hints. I’m sure once my teaching contract is done and we’re truly on the road, I’ll be pestering everyone with questions. You are doing a terrific job, and as a web progammer on the side, I can only imagine the amount of work you guys put into this site! Nicely done! 🙂

I am a little surprised to see the difference in pricing listed by 2 different company’s. There is no way I see on that site to tell which ad is newer. When I was at the POG coach show in January there was a dealer showing a coach with a dining chair that the back was broken on. I think I would have removed the chair rather than showing the coach with a broken chair. It’s this type of actions that shrinks the comfort level of purchasing from some dealers.
If they are willing to overlook these details what else are they willing to overlook.
I believe the first time owner does better by buying from a reputable dealer for their first coach, but then you see sales like Peter’s that just happened and you know that one couldn’t get any better. Then the new coach just listed on here with Tom’s comment. The power of this site will improve the brand.

we are required by law to reclaim %100 of freon from all systems being replaced and or opened for service. You can reinstall the freon in the same system or on the same property. As system are being replaced and as Jon pointed out at some point there is more refrigerant available then demand even though production is limited or stopped in its entirety. There also some replacement refrigerants available for R22 as well.

Jon; I upgraded with a new bra to match the paint scheme and it does a great job given the front was refinished when i took delivery last year. I wanted to assure it stays new for a while. I must be crazy,as i just sold this coach to my neighbor and took delivery of a new to me, 2008 XL II Liberty this weekend…

About a month ago down here outside of La Grange Tx. a truck caught fire from brake drag and a local passing firefighter stopped to help driver. Back tires a flaming. Used fire extinguisher up, asked what was inside van. Coors beer. Opened doors and driver feed him 16 oz. beer and guy shook beer and sprayed fire until department arrived. Now if that would have been Budweiser, it would have been a travesty. This not an Oilfield Tale!

I had a weird intermittent problem with my Wabasto and found a troubleshooting guide online. I was able to determine (after many successful tests) that one of the connections in the fuse box was loose and not showing continuity. Just an every so slight tightening of that fuse (if that’s the right word) corrected the issue. I even went so far as to remove the burner assembly and turn it on. Wow! You should see that flame when it fires up correctly (don’t try this at home!). My wife says I have lost my mind. But, armed with that info, I could see what should happen and it helped me figure out what was not happening. I actually replaced the nozzle (not the problem), the spark generator (not the problem), the electrodes (showing signs of wear but not the problem), checked the fuel filter (not the problem) and cleaned every connection I could find (not the problem but likely not a bad idea either). I had checked all of the fused connection links and they worked. After the 3rd or 4th attempt to find the intermittent issue I checked them again and one failed. I traced the connection back to where it entered to top of the Webasto and found I could turn it by hand. Hummmm….. Got a wrench and tightened it down ever so slightly and I have not had an issue since. Oh, I just realized that I forgot to add that I bought a new “brain” for the unit since a test “brain” made it work (once). While it ended up not costing too much (the brain), I spent way too much money on a problem which turned to simply be a loose connection.

Anybody around her is likely to burst into flames at any moment.

Gil you are right. I did not know they dimmed until someone told me.
Since I have a hard time seeing in dim light, I didn’t care about the dimming feature.
I used LED’s like I have seen here but I think I am going to like the new fixtures.
My LED’s have the side pins and I had to bend them just right to make them fit the fixtures without grounding on the fixture houseing.
Let you know how they work.
Will be in Tampa if anybody wants to see them.

Real men fix their air leaks.
OK, just breaking your chops. I did the same thing for the last coach. My current XLII has Prevost installed solenoid valves that do the same thing so apparently they figured it out.

I received my LED bulbs from China today and was going to start a new thread until I saw yours. I will add my information here.
I ordered mine from eBay on February 24th and they arrived in Ohio March 12th. That’s not too bad from China. My brother forwarded them to me in Mississippi with my regular mail shipment.
I paid for 100 and they actually sent 101. There were two with bent pins but they work fine once straightened out.
We replaced 21 bulbs this evening. Some of the fixtures still had halogen bulbs and these LEDs are even brighter than the halogens. Somebody had mentioned that in a previous thread but I know it is true for myself.
The real difference is in comparing these to the bright while LEDs I purchased several months ago. They are very dim compared to these new ones. Here is a picture with three bright whites
And a pictue with three of the new LEDs.
We love the difference!

Sorry to hear about the rallies, but definitely appreciate the work involved as we’ve done several ourselves with other goups.
I am so glad this site is here, however, as so many of my questions have been answered. The clock is ticking as March 27 is our first night officially full time in our bus, and I know that I will be “living” on this site asking questions!!

No, if the retarder is on and a position selected with the stalk, when you come off the brake without giving it throttle, the retarder stays on.
