Thanks everyone. We have decided to hold off buying Jeep until we get back to Austin in September and have our towbar guy install it. Plus they have a huge lot so we can overnight.

When I have encountered morons at my fuel stop I say nothing, I don’t give them the finger, or do anything to irritate the fools. They don’t like us. We represent the haves and they feel we “rich bastards” are interfering with them. Some would have no problem sideswiping us if we irritated them because they don’t own the truck they are driving.
I’m not saying all or even most drivers are jerks, but those that are jerks have the potential to ruin our day so I avoid as much contact with them as possible.
In Bill’s example above I probably would have unhitched, drove the toad to a spot to hook up, and then backed the coach out, rehitched and drove away when it was evident the trucker was going to sit there as long as possible just to piss Bill off. They do the same to other truckers, but there is a little peer pressure at work if they do that. With motor homes they don’t care what we think.

My ’14 Jeep GC works the same, except there’s no key to remove and you need to use the key fob to turn of the auto remote starter button. But it takes us less than a minute to hook-up or un-hook.
Great vehicle!

We had an Asko W/D when we moved into the house. For five years it was always something on those applinces that barely made it past the warranty, and which turned me into an appliance repairman.
12 years ago we bought a new set of Kenmore W/D and I haven’t touched them.
I asked the local used appliance store if they wanted to buy the two I was replacing. They were always able to get me parts. They said no. I asked if they wanted them for free. They said no. Lesson learned. I junked them and bought a used Kenmore for my garage washing machine. Still running even though I abuse it.
Save your money. Asko ranks right up there with the Splendide combo for the lousiest appliances we have ever owned. Buy new ones.

I didn’t do anything Buddy, C’Bus has done all the work.

I am regrettably going to have to remove my name from the list.
May be tied up that week with a business matter and don’t want to take a chance of not being able to come and use a spot reserved for me.
Thanks Tom for handling this No Rally Rally

Unless you just love walking to the fuel counter every time you refuel, standing in line, etc. all you have to do is save those receipts from Profit Tool

Hi Jon,
The CLS is different then the high temp sensor I’m guessing.
So If I know over the 2000 mi. I’ve driven since getting the warning,
that reality is so far the leak is a small one, and maybe the application of BAR’S
has maybe stopped it…..taking the CLS and jumping has nothing to do with TEMP SENSOR.
The dash will show me coolant temp but wont show coolant level sensor reading.Again my thanks to you and the group for your knowledge.

Tom and Bill,
It has been posted many, many times on RV.net that people wouldn’t take their lawn mower to Camping World, I think you are wise to skip them.
As another suggestion, I just had Redlands Truck and Performance in Redlands, CA, install the towing equipment on our new toad. They installed the SMI supplemental braking system along with the base plate. They are a very trusted outfit and do everything professionally as I have used them in the past.
Blue Ox does not make a base plate for a Lincoln MKX so I had to go with Roadmaster. I certainly like the Blue Ox better as the Roadmaster equipment is clunkier looking sitting at the front bumper. Once parked, I’ll remove everything for a clean look like a Blue Ox system offers.
I know it’s a long way to come back to California but just wanted to mention Redlands Truck and Performance in Redlands which is about 50 miles from Palm Springs.
Good luck guys!

Us guys that like our stainless steel think of H models as plastic coaches. They look just like some Foretravels. (Or is it some Foretravels look like an H3?}

I measured my coach very carefully before the trip we’re on. (Alaska) Aired up and ready to go, it measures 13’1”. I had never encountered a problem in the lower 48, but, I wasn’t exactly sure about Canada, the Yukon Territory and Alaska. In 7000 miles of every kind of road you can imagine, we’ve not encountered a problem (up to now, anyway). My Rand McNally 7730 GPS also keeps an eye on low clearance situations so they can be avoided during the planning stage. There was one low clearance warning that popped up somewhere in Northern California (as we were laying out our stops), but we just changed to another route and all was well. Good luck with your travels…a low bridge can ruin your whole day! ty

Our H3 is 13’3″ to the top of the roof airs.

About March 1 Jeff replaced I believe an R12 or 14 in the front, and gave it a shot of viagra. It’s been in the full up position since April 1. The party’s over 8/16 though as we come down to road height for the run to Driggs. Oh what a life.
