I’ve converted to 365’s on the front only of my IFS equipped ’99 XLV and find the ride better (lower air pressure) and no or little additional noise…very happy. My original wheels were stud piloted and the new wheels are hub piloted. My original hubs were already equipped for hub piloted wheels (not sure about yours) so no change there. Wheel studs, nuts and wheel covers also had to be changed. I went with the one-piece Alcoa wheel covers.

thank all!
I need to locate a chassis battery charger to confirm if I actually have one. I left the inverters off, but with your suggestion Tom I will get them back up and running. The big question will How to set them at 7 1/2 and current draw piece. Will need to take a look at those remotes to figure that out.
webasto is off, auto start of the Gen is off.
About the the only things still on the other day was my voltage indicators (reading0.0) and the touch panels (when I pressed them)
Jeff – seperate convo. The driver touchpanel was hidden in a drawer in the lower right side of the dash. It is powered up and has the program running, but I don’t think it is wired in properly as it doesn’t control anything.. Olympia didn’t even realize it was there. They were told by the old owner it was removed to make way for the alpine navigation.

On another web site a Blue Ox tow bar owner suffered a broken tow bar while traveling.
Posted is the response from Blue Ox. The time period of the questionable welding on assembly is 2 years ago.
If you purchased Blue Ox around 2 years ago …..maybe some phone calls are in order.
Copied the text as posted on other site with manufacture response.
Well, I got off the phone with BlueOx a few minutes ago. I asked about the design of this tow bar and if there was another option for us. BO Tech support told me this tow bar had been redesigned and the one she is replacing it with is the new design. She was surprised that we had this older design given the time frame we got it. In August of 2015, in an effort to get back on the road sooner we visited a dealer who had it in stock. He was willing to take the replacement from BO to help us get going. Apparently, they have had some issues with the design It was only introduced two years ago. Since then they have redesigned it. I asked why those of us with the older design weren’t notified…no answer. Boy oh boy!

Sometimes house calls depends on how long you have had a coach…I know that is what I did all the time for Liberty when not at a Rally….Many customers you could see at a Rally…..I think all the converters try to take care of their customers any way they can to the best of their abilities….obviously some things are not realistic to do on the road or 1000 miles away from their service centers…however with new coaches they will pickup and redeliver the coach if need be….

The NAPA card works for anything you wish to buy for any vehicle at participating NAPA stores. The Michelin discount seems to be limited to RV or bus sized tires, but I have never tested it.

Tom and I will be spending the week of the 9th together to go over a lot of business details and it is certain the seminar agenda will be one of our topics. As soon as we tie things together between us and Jeff we will post dates. Seminars are going to be offered, we just have not worked out the dates.

To clean off the slide tops I use a California Duster (Also have the air jet system). I insert the Duster handle through a Tee fitting attached to the end of a long PVC pipe. East/cheap to build. Comes apart easily to store in a bay. Have used it for years. Works great.

Jack,
There is a Kingsport welcome center at about mile marker 5, on I-24 north of I-81.
It has a lot of truck parking and is accessible from either direction. You can park, unhitch and go north or southbound on I-24 to your destination and return from either direction.
If you go to Google earth you will see what i mean.

Jon: You can’t call him no slide Tom anymore…we all know he is looking for his next last coach with slides. I suppose for now he can be no slide Tom, but I bet not for long…..
Hey Al…that looks like a Marathon tool kit. Are you sure you have the right picture?

Charlie,
Sorry to hear about your “Parkway” experience. I lived on Long Island for seven years back in the 1980’s. In 2009 we stayed at Battle Row since it was close to Bethpage Black, where the USGA Men’s Open was being held. So much rain that week. I was wondering how it would be getting out of the camping area. The stay was acceptable since I was working traffic and Transportation for the event. So much rain we actually shut down all the unpaved lots and sent eveyone to Jones Beach. Man do I have some stories about Saturday evenings drenching rain. We had the ocean to the south and the bay to the north with the moon at its closest to earth with the bus loop built over top of a storm drain. Well with all those factors in play, the water level rose to the point the storm drain tranformed from a drain to a fountain. We had to close the bus loop, make that I had to close the bus loop. The only other person on site had to deal with telling the bus operators whet the revised operation had to be. A NYS Park Police officer was nice enough to position his vehicle with flashing blue lights across the entrance to the bus loop to prevent the steering wheel holders from entering. OK, so I heard a diesel approaching from where we staged the buses overnight and fed them into the loop teh next morning as needed to keep the arriving guests flowing. I turned around and got that one stopped. When I turned back the Park Police had ducked out on me and a bus was now beginning a turn into the loop. I got that one stopped and before I could deal with the first one a second one tried to pull around the other bus. I got both stopped and fortunately there was insufficient width for a third bus to attempt an entry. So now I have to get both of them backed up onto Ocean Parkway to let the passengers get off the bus. Got it all worked out and the steering wheel holders got the message and the rest of the buses stopped at three of the four driveways. Of course we were successful with our approach since not much traffic is generated by a beach with heavy rains and it being dark.
The next morning I was summoned to the USGA office to meet with the USGA and several NYS Police. The led trooper called me out for not having called the JOC (it was raining so bad and with what I had to manage there was NO opportunity to get out my cell phone). So I listened to him for maybe 20 minutes. I then asked him had I been able to call just how long would it have taken for a Trooper to arrive and determine what his solution would have been. I was told they only had one Trooper available and he was assigned to patroling the Parkways. I asked if that included the Ocean Parkway, the Bay Parkway, the Meadowbrook Parkway, the Wantagh Parkway, the Southern State Parkway and maybe one or two more that escape my memory right now. The answer I got was yes that was right. Now he knew I had detailed information on the infrastructure on Long Island. I then told him two things. First, no one was injured, no property was damaged, and everyone was equally wet. I considered that a win-win-win solution. Second, IF the USGA ever comes back to Bethpage, and IF I am still working for them, and IF we have another severe rain event, I’m running to my car and calling the JOC and staying dry until someone shows up to handle the situation better than it was handled that night. I got no response to my statements.
Discussion over.
That is the short story of that situation.
