What does the transmission temperature gauge say?
If the transmission was serviced and I got an indication of an over temp on the transmission the first thing I would look for is too much fluid was installed. Excessive fluid, as little as a couple of quarts will drive the temps up. Very hard to see on the stick.
Then there is always the possibility the sensor is in error and the temps are OK. Do you have an IR temp gun you can aim at the transmission? It should track the engine temp, maybe a little higher when pulling hard.

There is one thing we need to be aware of, as we travel we tend to load and unload and I know you know what I mean! I was very fortunate last time I was in Canada on July 3rd crossed in a Ft Erie, I had just bought a 22 pistol and was trying to find ammo for it, No I did not have the gun with me, I left it with a traveling companion in Michigan and told her I would retrive it in Florida in the fall, I had found some Ammo in Michigan and forgot I had it in the bay, 2 bricks 1,000 rounds, The custom guy was a pita, took my keys raised hell to show me he could, I just wonder what would have happened if he would have found those 2 bricks of 22’s. After I got home I was cleaning the bays and found it, I was a lucky boy. Now I only put guns and ammo in one place! Gary

Jon….The unit I had was mounted with a TRIPLE receiver. The two outboard recievers are mounted to the end of the chassis rails and the center is as originally installed. It was a great unit, easy to use, but installation requires attaching to the motor cradle…that’s the part I’m uncomfortable with. The other issue I question is the considerable weight cantilevered off the tailend…hit a dip in the road and I’m not sure how heavy it gets, but it’s HEAVY!!!!
1500 lbs 3′ off the rear would be very heavy in a dip.All that to say I’m content to load my scooter in my pickup to haul it.

My coach, and my previous coach, are/were subjected to the same storage conditions in the summer as yours. I have been using Lifeline 8D’s and the average life of my batteries is 5 years.
Obviously, I don’t know the extent of your dry camping (number of battery cycles) or your charge protocols. I probably do about 15-20 days/year dry camping. I do have temp sensors on my battery bank to limit charging relating to temp. You also need to be certain the charging profile of your inverters matches what is recommended for your battery type.

Rick is misinterpreting my feelings about the NY/NJ metro area.
Actually I wouldn’t mind spending some time in the area eating pizza and mussels, going to a show, visiting some museums, and sharing the roadways with the locals. As a Secaucus kid it would be nice to go back for a visit.
One of my happiest days however was on April 15, 2000 when I was no longer obligated to send my money to the NY tax collector since I had moved to TN.

When building the house we had a 3 inch “clean out plug” for the house septic system put a ground level at the back of the house next to the driveway. I drain the tanks while we are unloading the coach before putting it back in the garage.

Nowadays the CB is far less useful than it was at one time. The language is pretty bad, the content of the discussions you hear is childish, and the range all but discourages its use.
But I still drive with the CB turned on because when it delivers information it becomes a valuable asset. The obvious benefit of a CB is not to learn where the cops are but to be able to anticipate traffic stopped ahead, sometimes allowing enough advance warning to get off the interstate to get around the stopped traffic. It is a great tool to warn a trucker of a failed trailer tire, or for a trucker to warn you of a problem with your toad.
In my case it was a trucker that told me my bus was on fire. As cheap as a CB is for me it becomes one more source of information or an ability to talk to another driver if the need arises. The only downside is if we are on a stretch of highway in proximity with a pair of truckers going our way who dominate the CB with their inane conversation. That is when I usually turn it off.

Red,
Assume you have more than a 1/4 tank of fuel, correct? And all fluids topped off..
