Ron,

once i clear my current sprint, i will get back to adding POI’s into the map.

Tom and Jon, would another category of map otems be possible? something like activities? biking, hiking, etc.? basically things we do to work off the sitting around in the fancy RV resorts 😉

My local blind guy does mine. He’s just a bit slow about it because they took away his driving license.

I agree John,Dick that alternator is rated at 56 volts for a 48 volt system,it does not look very heavy duty like the 50DN that we have.It would be difficult enough with a 50DN failure on the road but with a really unique system it would be almost impossible to locate parts in a timely manner.I looked at the Volta system also in Tampa it is just not for me.

I checked them they did not leak at all

Diane,

It seems that some toads smell more than others after pulling. My old 95 cheap jeep smelled of rubber as does my current toad the 2006 Scion xB. The 2000 Denali we pulled for a while did not seem to smell at all. It may be that the exhaust is more exposed to picking up tire particles that others.

We stopped in Hudson at Suncoast on our way to the PC Tampa Rally in th Vantare hoping to get 3 windows de-fogged… the place was jammed with “plastic coaches” and luckily they couldn’t get to us right then.

Later on at Coachworx we mentioned it to Ken Robertson and he told us that they usually remove the windows themselves and take them to Suncoast for repair then Coachworx puts them back in and I remembered it being very reasonably priced and faster too… maybe that would be a good option…. that way no contact with Suncoast at all.

Ken said they do that all the time.

Just saying !!

I never give DEF a thought. Out of sight, out of mind. Press on.

My 1991 has a jake system I use all the time. Pull a 2013 Ford Super crew and it helps big time with the stopping. Don’t know about the retarders that work off the trans and they sound in big hill situations might heat things up in a hurry but they have been around a while and work also.

That’s a pretty broad question Godfather, lost power to what?

Won’t start?

House batteries dead?

Access to shore power?

If you are going to spend money on a good surge protector, why not get the best one the company offers? This one does so much more.

Looks like Camping World has a couple of different models:

Is the fancy one with the LED readout for $360 any better than the Progressive Industries SSP-50 for about $115?

Dick, that is all good info, I can swap the batteries no problem, although will probably make my brother the rocket scientist do it….I am a decent wrench, he makes me look like a hack, but he gets paid to do this stuff evrey day.

Anyways, these are interstates in here now, but no one bothered to mark the dots for the date, have not pulled them so maybe some date code stickers elsewhere.

Really mostly curious if I can utilize these battery tenders I have, probably have about 20 of em. They worked good on my Duramax, really just good for keeping a float charge when that thing would sit for a month.

I just want to clarify if you can apply a 12 v charge to these since that is what I read off them except for the one POS terminal that connects to the Equalizer. BTW I have a Sure Power one….got a new one ordered today under recall, will show up in 6-8 weeks…..

Thanks for the suggestions but it turns out that the buttons referred to are disconnected because the way our coach is set up they are not needed. For freeze protection, if real cold, I need to operate the furnace and that will provide bay heat. More than likely I can just run a small 110 heater in the coach and it will be sufficient to prevent freezing. Thanks Roger for the heads up!!!!!!!!!!!!!
