You may have a temperature issue with those bulbs. Between the reflector and the glass lens, ther is no way for the heat to escape. If they start failing you may need to remove the glass lens.

If your running the 15 corridor the south end is slim pickens. We run thru UT 10-12 times a year and sometimes overnight in Cedar City at the KOA.

It’s ok, I don’t have a problem in or out, just tell them how long you are.

There’s a park east of St George off the beaten path but don’t know it.

I do not doubt that what Karl is saying is 100% correct, however the flip side of that discussion is some states have gotten very active in going after owners who evade taxes. Karl pointed out he had some hoops to jump through to fully comply with the law. Not all who use MT are so careful or serious about following the law to the letter and they set themselves up for trouble.

I spent some time recently talking to TN highway patrol officers and they brought up the issue of MT registrations. My concern was to get accurate information about their enforcement of the need for roof hatches in commercial vehicles, and what they defined as commercial based on a post by another member who was stopped just because he had a horse trailer and the cop assumed he was a commercial operation. The officer I spoke to made it clear it is his opinion people who do not live in MT, but register their coach in MT are tax evaders. But his posture was that if the coach is used solely for personal use, with not evidence it is used for any commercial purpose he defined the coach as “off his radar”. It was not his focus because he was not collecting taxes.

But that was a TN officer. Other people in other states have posted about people with MT registrations being stopped and subject to sales taxes and penalties. I have no knowledge of every state’s laws or their situation with respect to chasing people for sales taxes.

It was clear from the conversation with the TN officer that he viewed MT registrations as a means of avoiding the payment of sales taxes which suggests to me he may not look the other way if he suspects the coach is being used for commercial purposes. His current focus was to insure all commercial coaches have roof hatches, and if they are determined to be operated for commercial purposes to verify they comply with all applicable regulations, including a CDL.

If I were to get a MT registration for the coach I would make sure I had a toad registered in MT and that I had an MT driver license and address, if for no other reason than to not appear to be anything more than a true MT resident and coach.

I use the word tax evasion on purpose, because that is my opinion. Using LLCs for asset protection may be secondary benefit, but as a driver of the coach and all LLCs listed as having an ownership interest may still be exposed in the event of an accident. The lawyers on this site should jump in make sure we are not blowing smoke. BTW, I am not aware of any lawyers on this site using MT registrations.

Hey Tom, I’m back at working on the entertainment bay and getting ready for Bella Terra and JazzFest. I just finished changing the IR receiver as a result of upgrading to a new DirecTV box but that’s another story. I’ve not really run the refridgerator for any length of time because of not having an exhaust fan in place. I saw your picture but am questioning where it is locatd and where it is vented to? Did you cut a hole in the rear of that bay and exhaust the heat from there?

[Bill]

The Foretravel guys were glad to see him get a Prevost!

[Bill]

According to what I’m hearing … this is the wrecker brought into Jeff Rowe’s East Tennessee Luxury Coach for the session on Towing Your Prevost as part of Knowing Your Prevost Seminar. I suspect that even if you doze off, run through a guard rail, down an embankment, and way out into the pucker brush this bad boy will get your coach back up on the highway!

My rear slide on mine did the same, it looked like the brain box was dead, I bumped the box with the palm of my hand and it came on, I retighten the hold down bolts because there was a grounding problem, all was well Darrell
