    • Diane, You need to stop beating around the bush and come out with what’s really on you mind! wink

    When I first saw the picture of the coach I thought “It looks institutional”! Becky, I’d not want to hurt your feeling for anything in the world. I just want to give you an honest answer to your honest question.

    Harry

    PS. Would love to see an inside picture!

    Jon: Have you ever changed out the black privacy shade up front with white privacy shades? How hard is it?

    They are hard to see, some of them look just like a union fitting or nipple joining two fittings together. You could always put another in to stop that.

    Also, leaving the bleed line plugged off would work until you can find or install one.

    I wouldn’t worry about it too much. If I hadn’t found mine, I was just going to cap it off.

    Post a good close up picture of your steer bay, maybe someone can see it, as they did mine.

    Nothing else that a Vantare uses air for, other than what you mentioned, unless you have an overhead swing down TV up front.

    Bill, Thanks Google routed around Detroit as you describe. Would like to detour Toledo as well but we decided to spent a couple of nights in Monroe, Mi on the way up so the direct route is I-75.

    Jon, Yep google has exit 290 which on the sat. view looks ok. I was thinking about exiting sooner to stay on state roads. fewer turns on the google route.

    The bypass you describe around Petoskey looked iffy to me on the sat view so I was planning to stay on the highways which will likely add traffic and a few miles.

    I’ll wave as I pass your place on Sunday.

    Im not sure I want to get too high Tec, with my luck my phone or iPad will get a virus and the coach will head to Canada without me. Im just learning the ends and outs of the older electronics and that is enough to cause my hair to fall out, oh thats right I have no hair. however the Dove Squares sounds great!!!!

    I make stuff up. Are you sure you want my advice or that you should believe anything I say?

    If you have listened to your Webasto as it is working you can hear the burner cycle on and off. When you activate the Webasto system the burner brings coolant to a specific temperature and then the burner cuts off. The circulating pump continues to circulate coolant through the engine, HW tank or heat exchangers and if heat is called for in the house the blowers at the heat exchangers continue to blow as the coolant temp drops until the burner refires.

    The problem in trying to maintain a constant temp is not only associated with the temperature switching differential in the thermostats, but it could be the varying coolant temp or even something like a change in air flow in the coach such as someone just moving around.

    We have the same situation when we use the A/Cs because as they cycle we sense the temperature variations.

    Ron,

    I went to Fastenal for a socket. Did not find one. If I had found one I would also need a 3/4″ breaker bar. I wound up getting a really large adjustable wrench which worked for me. When a shop goes behind the bumper I tell them NOT to tighten the bolt with an air wrench because I cannot break it loose to do some house cleaning of the basement.

    Follow up, Michelin was out yesterday and is giving 75% credit for the tire. They are having me ship the tire back to the factory for them to check over.
