Thank you folks,

Nobody here has anything against CC conversions. You can park in my driveway anytime. As long as they can’t see you from the road.

Wow! That is a beautiful place, Peter!

Jeff, looks great. Can’t wait to come back and help you pay for them. Be calling as soon as we know when we are headed south again. Geo.

Don’t misinterpret my views as being anti progress. Despite my flip phone I actually embrace almost all of the technology our coaches offer.
The latest chassis features are a perfect example. By going to multiplex the electrical system is actually simplified to a great extent and diagnosis of chassis problems is made somewhat easy with the message center providing clues.
I think the adaptive braking and stability control are two features that greatly enhance safety and I wish I had them. That kind of added complexity just makes a lot of sense.
But today’s systems require a different mindset from an owner compared to a coach 20 or 25 years old. It helps greatly to have either a way of reading DDEC or the other systems ranging from brakes to the transmission to the house, but in the absence of that ability, in today’s systems we need access to the technical people who have that ability.
BTW, I do like my Crestron. Not everything, but almost everything. So much so we are upgrading our house to have most of the features we have regarding video, audio and security operate via a touch pad. I have been told if I had a smart phone I could do that stuff on the phone, but I love my flip phone.

Harry, Tom can give you specifics but he has a home made tool that hw uses to reach through to the inner valve stem.
The only thing you have to do is to have your outer dual valve stems reoriented so you can put on the sensor and fill the tire with air. It cannot point inward. I am presuming you have all 315 tires.

Rynada: Did you acquire the Vogue at Mecum’s Indianapolis auction earlier this year?

Jon,
You know what the I-pad calls his father? Data.
I have no scientific info supporting the use of tire covers. It just makes sense if the coach is in the sun for long periods of time. Since we have to change out the tires every 7 yrs., keeping the sun off of them just might make the tires last longer.
The covers actually keep the wheels clean so I don’t have to rewash them once I’ve done it the first time.

That was the same coach that was at our rally at Lazy Daze. I remember walking thru it and commenting on the leather on the sofa’s.

A friend in the electronics business who does the board and system design work says he does short run projects that require circuit boards and there are job shops in the US that will do short run boards. I don’t suspect they are cheap. I think he has also mentioned shops that populate the little do-dads on the boards.

I used them extensively on my XL coaches. I have not used them on my XLII because the height to the top snaps over the windshield is just too high for me to be wanting to stand on the ladder. I think the height is even greater on your new H.
Having said that our windshields are solar panels and if the sun is not blocked on the outside the heat load is substantial. When I bought the XLII I had Liberty use a light beige privacy shade rather than the black shade we had on our previous coach. With the shade on the inside of the coach the black shade literally dumped a lot of heat into the coach when the sun was shining on the front of the coach. The improvement due to using the light color on the shade is significant.

Charles, the gen set only has aboiut 30 hrs on it. I ran it under about 50% load for 6 hrs yesterday. The first hr or so it was showing better than 60 psi, as the times passed, it got down to about 25psi. It is not low on oil. I am going to try a mechanical gauge tomorrow.

Harsh, but fair.

Yes, I know about the switch! My problem is the 12 Volt supply and/or the fuse or breaker. I am in good condition, run a jumper wire from the driver side electrial pannel to the front unit, to back feed and all are working fine. Just have to keep batteries charged while parked.
Thank you for your imput.
