Hello PC,

How is everyone? I am currently in Allentown, PA producing a
small automotive event that we have owned here for the last 18 years. It’s a
great venue and the vendors always go home happy and with full pockets.

Ok to clarify what is going on with the electric
availability for the Winter AnCC event. We have 17 spaces at the Raider Club
area that we utilized for the Fall event. These spaces are all in a nice area
directly behind the Cessna building (where all of the activities take place).
They have 50amp, water and a grass/sand very firm base. This area is large with
plenty of space and has been used for large RV’s for 20+ years.

At the Parliament Rally Tom, Jon and I discussed continuing
with the previously used Jet Way area in front of the Cessna building as well.
This is a great area that is very level, allows for the front half of the bus
to be on blacktop with the remainder on very firm and groomed grass. This area
is being offered for a reduced cost of $599 without electric. We can hold
approximately 40 coaches in this area.

About two hours ago I received a text that I was waiting for
regarding the “Corn Roast” area at SnF. This area is over toward the other side
of the facility across from E Hanger. It has a firm grass surface, some shade
and has been used for this purpose during the fly-in for many years. It
contains 13 50 amp and 10 30 amp sites. This is a great area and with enough
coaches it would be used exclusively by us. It is in my estimation approximately
a half mile from the Cessna building. We could supply a few golf carts to be
shared by the guests in this area. The cost would be the normal $699 for the
Corn Roast.

This issue arose only two weeks ago. It was then that I was
informed that the Sun-n-Fun facility was again not going complete the 68 RV
sites along the runway that have been promised for the last two years. Even
though it is ultimately out of Carlisle Events control I still apologize for
continually speaking out of turn on this improvement. All I can tell you is
that I have emails as recent as two months ago that these sites were on
schedule to be completed. Most of you that know me, understand that I usually like
to make a decision, market it, produce it and follow through with it without
exception. That being said, you also know that I encourage feedback and am
willing to make changes for any future events that will work for both of us.

Against my previous statement I am willing to consider your
input on this matter. Please just understand that after I evaluate everyone’s
thoughts I will have to make a firm decision. If this decision does not reflect
your input, please read and understand my explanation and thought process. I
truly am here to make everyone happy, but I am sure that you all understand
that this may be a next to impossible task. LOL

Ok so to summarize; how many of you are willing to:

·
Park on the Jet Way and use your generator for
$599.

·
Park on the Jet Way and use our generator for
$899

·
Park at the Corn Roast with 50 or 30 amps for
$699

Everyone that has currently paid $699 you do have electric
and you are scheduled for the Raider Club. If you would like to move to another
area I have no problem adjusting the money accordingly.

We currently have over 20 registered guests with another 10
or so waiting for the information that is included in this post. Tom and Jon
will be sending out an email next week containing the details on the event. We
have also have a mailing of over 200 going out. This should come close to
doubling our current registration number. I will address the agenda and a few
other topics here on the forum early next week. In fact, I will type it in
front of my newly repaired XL while sitting in the Florida sunshine at Parliament.
From there I am headed to George and Cory’s Claw F est in Naples. I hope to see
many of you there or at Pelican.

As always do not hesitate to call 717-215-0700.

Safe travels…

Yes, we know you think there a pain in the ass. A couple months ago you guys had 2 pages full of why trailers were such a pain in the ass. I’ll bet it even made some people mad the way some of you were talking but I knew you were just funnin us, right?

Over in Cresco there’s a picture of the Godfather listed as number 1 stacker hater and there’s a picture of you GEO running behind him with a roll of toilet paper in your hand. It’s really funny, you ought to see it.

Later

If I was going to make one trip a year and then stay for an extended time, a trailer would make sense. We do about 12K miles a year and don’t stay put very long, so a toad is the way to go for us.

I watch these goys with stackers show up in FL to stay for the winter and then have to beg someone to move their trailer to the storage lot.

Driver …..Who woke up Mr. California ? You’ all know better to let him alone out there in the land of fruits and nuts.

But in all fairness….his rig is pretty good look’en black on black and lots of matching shinny stainless.

[Corey]

I can see you guys are going to be a problem.

Sign up for the Lakeland event and all you wimps that pay someone to wash and wax your coaches can bring your lawn chairs and cool beverages and watch me show you how real men work regardless of age.

[Corey]

we attended the show on Monday and many of the coaches had no information on them. I hope they change that for next year. It was amazing and overwhelming seeing all of the gorgeous coaches! I was awed by the sheer size of them. Everyone was so friendly and it was a pleasure meeting Brandon Blythe from Legacy. Very nice man. We have decided to wait a year before taking the plunge. So hopefully we’ll find something at next years expo!

[Corey]

In regard to the toad vehicle comments. Just as we check the tire pressures on the coach, while you have the pressure gauge in hand how about the air pressure in your toad tires? You checkem or not. You should check them as well as their tread depth.

As for removing a fuse to keep the factory toad brake lights from coming on, remember when unhooking the toad the fuse has to be placed back where you removed it from. Oh you don’t remember the safe place you stored it while in transit. Use a zip lock Snack size baggie and put it in the glove box or storage compartment under the center arm rest. I know what can happen when one forgets to replace it. I was in Nashville on a trip and forgot to replace the fuse from where I had pulled it. I was stopped by a Nashville officer and he told me my tail lights were out. That’s when the fuse popped back into mind. I retrieved it, reinstalled it, and the nice office did not write me a citation. Someone could have rear ended me and it would have been my fault.

So you might want to add those two items to your pre-trip inspection. After all, your toad is going on the trip with you, right?

Since we couldn’t make Arcadia this year, this is on our calender. Geo.

Ever wonder how your slide works or what the difference is between slide generations?

Come to the maintenance seminar, slides have been added as a topic.

[Corey]

Your 1999 year coach probably has original fuel lines. One of the main reasons, of several, for the motor to surge is a leak in the fuel line between the fuel tank and the webasto burner. This would include the seal of the fuel filter.

To check this idea, supply the burner with a separate fuel line from a jug of diesel and see if it runs smoothly. If so, replace the leaky line.

I would also put a vom meter on the red wire to the “B”plug to the control unit to see if the voltage was varing. I doubt this is the cause but the check is very easy to do.

BA, there is a great Prevost grease monkey in Tennessee named Jeff Rowe who gives a very good discount on Michelin Tires at a place called East Tennessee Luxury Coach and you do not need any costly club membership. I highly recommend him.

Gerald & Everyone:

If you have Meritor air disc brakes, here is the mx manual:

http://beamalarm.com/foretravel-links/PDF/brakes-maintenance-manual-mm4m.pdf

It explains the correct grease types and procedures for lubing “calipers & slack adjusters” starting at page 54 of this pdf file. There’s a lot of other good info about our Meritor air disc brakes throughout the rest of the document too.
