Does the green cover come or from back?

I had Jeff install Extended life and a blank filter in mine last month. So no change for 6 years or so I guess?

[Dan]

Good call on Pomp’s. Thank you very much.

I defy anyone to be able to tell the difference in ride and handling between a solid axle or IFS coach, with the exception of the turn radius being sharper on an IFS.

I had about 300,000 miles when I drove an IFS coach for the first time. It was not a trip around the block, but a 200 mile trip so I had plenty of opportunity to evaluate the differences. To my rather unsophisticated sense of things the brand new coach with IFS drove, rode, and handled just like my 200,000 mile solid axle coach.

Prevost is now at 19,000# on the X3, and maybe the H. I spoke to Bill Jensen about steer axle weight a while back and he indicated they can get to 20,000# but the engineers would have to add about 1000# of additional strength so obviously axle weights are about where they are going to be.

Sticking big tires on an axle does absolutely nothing to change the weight rating of the axle because there is so much involved and it involves substantialy more than just bigger tires.

There goes some bay space when that happens and then where will everyone put the generator or the Harley?

[Dan]

Joe , I would check your rear end gear oil for bits of metal with a magnet is best because usually the reason for seal failure is metal fragments from rear gear failure as they work there way out to axle seals and cause leaks from tearing the fabric before you notice a problem as it is very unusual for 3 seals to leak that quickly.

Gone,

There are two schools of thought regarding auto-start.

If the auto-start can be adjusted to start when the batteries are around 50% rate of discharge battery life is not likely to be compromised. However some auto-starts like our Liberty Watchdog do a deep discharge before starting the generator. The deeper the battery discharge before recharging the fewer charge cycles and the shorter the battery life. The actual number of cycles depends on the voltage at recharge but it can reduce the number of cycles significantly.

Some of us manually control recharging because by keeping the batteries above a certain value such as 50% we are assured of a longer, trouble free battery life.

When Tom questioned the voltage when the generator started his concern was to alert you to avoid the deep discharges or accept a shorter battery lifespan. The good news is yours sounds like everything is working great and that is good.

Everytime I have had tire service at a shop that handles large tires the gun has been within 25# of the req. 450#. On my race car the electric gun is within 5#.. Geo.

On my old 99 it meant that the clutch for the OTR compressor that is engine driven, was not engaged, therefore no OTR air….happened when the refrigerant leaked out and the compressor would not run.

Jon ,

I got that a LONG Time ago. I Live in My own little World sometimes , Just ask My Wife ? LMAO !

She can tell Some Stories ! I can and Do Laugh at Myself . Life is Short , BE HAPPY ! I still want to know Why You park on a Driveway ? And Drive on a Parkway ?

But evidently everyone’s Switch say Shutters instead of Baffles ? Anyone have a Switch that Says Baffles ?

No one spoke up and said , My Bafflle Switch controls My Front Cruise Air Shutters ?

Must have had a lot of Creepers scratching their Heads , That were afraid to Post about it ? The Phone lines were Hot across the Country over it !

Switch should say Cruise Air Baffles ? IMO

Creepers Chime in , The Dust has settled , What does Your Switch Say ???

[Dan]

I am coming or going.

I signed-up while at Parliament not knowing anything about there being different sections with different options.

Nobody told me anything about it when I was on the phone with Tami to make the reservation. Bill III did not respond to my email, either! So where am I reserved?

I should also imagine that PC members would prefer to be all together in the same area? Are we?

Do we have a head count as to who has reserved and where?

Cheers,

Ronald

You don’t need the 4 a/c buttons pushed to run toe kick heaters. That’s only for heat pumps and a/c.

Push 120v button in your cabinet or bedroom and go to the SMX controls and push heat twice and turn them up to 90 degrees to test.

If they don’t come on get a flashlight and pick or pencil and on the faceplate of the toekick heater is a little red reset button that is very sensitive, push in to reset.

If that doesn’t work call me but I think you’ll be good.

Later

Yep. 4866.

Peter, your answer is proof positive why there needs to be a “Like” feature!
