That ignores what I see as real benefits. I do dry camp, but never hesitate to run a generator or work my batteries hard, worry about charge rates, and all the other things folks who use auto-start or run A/Cs through inverters think about.
What has my attention is a significant reduction in weight which is nothing but good news to my axle that is at its limits. But despite the weight reduction I still have much more power so I can be less concerned about checking battery status so I don’t let the AGMs get below 50% SOC. With Li I will go all night long with the refrigerator, water pump, aux compressor, lights, tv, etc and still have a lot of battery power available. But besides weight and additional power, the way I use batteries I will never ever have to buy batteries again if I have Li because I will get 5 to 10X the number of recharges.
Off course I will need to own the coach and live for another 50 years.

Things are looking up. I will post more info next week.

Glen, I never said I love Jeff! I only said he’s right purdy!!!
-
No, doesn’t apply to him Buddy.

Well, if Jeff is going, we should go too and leave a day earlier. That way he can pull up behind us and fix things should we “fail to proceed”. 🙂

Have had Dish and Winegard for about 10 years. Did upgrade the dome last year to a RoadTrip T4 Motion from the old style Winegard motion. No problems but like somebody said above , if coach sits in barn a while , one quick call to hit receiver and 10 minutes , good to go. Oh and 10 bucks a month added to my Home systems. Also have a Tailgater that if somebody comes over and doesn’t want to stay in the casa, I can hook up to receiver, put Tailgater out and they can watch the tube while here.

KOA tends to have different demographics than what a self serve RV park might have. The problem is understanding the market in the geographic locations. Nashville likely would be a destination RV park, but if a self service is located very convenient to an interstate it could also be attractive to transients.
But locate it in the middle of area attractions and people who just want a place to park for the night likely will not go out of their way to use it.
An overnight parking spot becomes much more attractive to transients if it offers security not found at a rest area, Walmart, Cracker Barrel or truck stop as long as its cost is less than or equal to the cost of fuel to run a generator.

The screw type tensioner on my coach is on the engine fan belt only, unrelated to A/C or 2 alternators. Each of those have their own belts and tension adjustments.

Both DirecTV and Dish receivers will “sleep” after not seeing a satellite signal for about 30 days. They have built in fraud protection tied to the internal or external “card” that holds the account information. If that information is not updated (someone using an illegal card) the account will be shut down.

I found a Prevost part number.
930360 . LAMP ASSY / LOW
Do not trust my part number. Call Prevost parts with your VIN and describe what you need. I think that it is a “Lamp Assembly / Low”.

Any idea how much a top end overhaul should cost at 140K miles?

Chuck, it’s not a suction cup ball mount, it’s a stick-on disk ball mount.

Not to create thread creep here but Dick you hit a point that no one ever thinks about, how hot the engine loop when on will get the hot water.
I don’t know if any converter ever installed thermostats on the hot water loop to keep the engine water from over heating the hot water in the hot water tanks.
As we know, engine water will be from 180ish to 200+ at times while driving.
That coupled with most all heaters pressure relief valves are house hold type that are set at 175 degrees, not a good thing.
Why would anyone plumb the relief valve from the outside to the holding tank !
