I believe there is an age demarcation with coach-net. I entered my vin into coach net and received a message that my coach was too old.

Good Sam has a travel planner. It may show what you are looking for, but I am not sure whether it is on-line and real time, or just a point in time. I do know you can set your destination and a range within the travel route for specific types of stops, I.e fuel, historical markers, rest areas.

Seajet, I 2nd what Bill said:
We took the diesel pusher we had at the time from Texas to Alaska and back. Al-Can both ways. The ferry system wasn’t large dog friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it now with our Prevost. We hope to do it again someday.
You’ll need “The Milepost”. It’s the travel bible to the north country.2000 Featherlite H3-45

Lets be careful we don’t summarily cast blame on user error here. Yes overheating can permanently damage brake pads. However, many years of experience in the auto industry taught me there are some things that get shipped out the factory door that later prove to not work out in the “real world” over the many years of life the product will see.
In the case of our coaches the life cycle of the brakes is very different from what the engineers may have envisioned. Not likely they factored 20 years to get to 150k miles, or some other number of estimated life miles, into the corrosion resistance of brake lining materials.
Also with supplier, sub-supplier, and process changes parts made at different times or plants could vary widely in how they perform.
The bottom line may end up being check what you have, if bad, replace them, treat them right and we’ll see what happens.

As always, thanks for the insight, Jon. I hope to be at the coach over the next few days. I will have the coach out to fuel up which requires a 20 minute ride to the truck stop. I will run the generator and keep a watch on the temperature.
The overflow bottle is half full. I check that before every drive I take, check again at each parking break, and and when shutting her down.

We go through Atlanta on a regular basis either direction. You don’t want to go through at 3pm. Time it to go through either 930am-2pm or 230am-5am weekdays. Forget Saturdays, Sundays 3am-11am or 6pm on. Geo.

Use a different soap next time when you wash the coach.

The Gadget Guru likes gadgets…. Who would have thought that? Many of us call this new technology greater than an alligator. While still others feel they should go away and not come back another day. But I do get it Andy, we don’t stand still nor should we. I just feel we could pause and take it all into consideration. Something as simple as what Jon said about testing in snow?
At our family reunion in my brother, one of them, rented a Jeep. It had a new deal so when you were at a full stop the engine would shut off or use only a couple cylinders or something? It was strange to say the least but it’s what Jeep decided was a good thing. My brother hated it and come to find out it cannot be changed. And if you changed it it would void the warranty. You know as well as I that it’s controlled by the on board computer. They could have easily provided a button, switch or artificial intelligence yikes, to turn the feature off. But no way! Jeep will decide…
Car makers also decide to store all vehicle use information as to where you go, when you go there, what was the posted speed and what speed were you going and on and on and on. They will only use this information for themselves and never sell it to insurance companies, law enforcement. Government etc. Do I hear “and a partridge in a pear tree” playing in the background? Yes I believe I do.
So it’s not just alerting you you’re moving into another lane or you’re falling asleep, it’s taking something away from you and possibly something you’re unaware of and wouldn’t agree with if you did. But no problem, you simply decide not to buy that vehicle. And that’s great until all vehicles are being built the same way. It gets to the point these people you never authorized to have any of this information know more about you than your family.
I know, I know…. Harry is finely gone off the rails and maybe I have. But anyone who thinks you don’t give up something from all this technology isn’t smart enough to be reading this forum! Have the technology and the driverless and electric stuff and it’s all good right?
So we have cars and trucks and buses all electric and ain’t it great. Oh but where are we going to get all of these new power grids to power up all this electric wonderfulness? Yes I know, from the electric fairy! Did I just see a Canadian werewolf?

Thanks Rudy
We all want to save a penny here and there especially on fuel.

I am using a $99 canon that works great, not one of the smallest though.
