Does the Odometer increase when towing?

I think the brass were called “Clowns” in an earlier post. They shook it off and carried on!!

Dick, I cam here just to hear the BS and watch the proding.

C’mon Davy, with an attitude like that you may single handedly put the economy into a tail spin.
Everybody needs to go out and get a new or newer bus. Tom and I love spending other people’s money.

I apologize for the delay responding. I just learned about the “font/caps” issue when I log in. I was not able to see the edit/reply buttons for awhile.
Thanks to all of you for the feedback and kind words.
Pam & I have decided to hold off over the winter. Saving some money and put aside an AC fund. As the fall weather has arrived, the days of AC are over. Its heat pump time and then webasto. Both systems have been checked and are working very well.
After all the feedback, I am leaning on what Ben recommended. I have cleaned all 3 units coils, we replaced all 3 units capacitors. We replaced all 3 unit shrouds & we replaced all 3 unit AC motors. The only thing I don’t see is the cork tape lining on my cold lines. Question: Where can I get the tape?
I’ll keep the current units until failure. At that point, I’ll have no choice. We’ll have the emergency fund ready for the replacements.

I have used Elreg’s shaft seal to repair a leaking seal and theirs is easy to install and works well.

Easily changed.

Check your coach documentation carefully, especially the manual received from Vantare that should show the layout of the gauges and lights on the dash to confirm what that “oil temp” light is for.
Do you have a retarder? If you have a retarder and engage it on a steep downhill grade and the “oil temp” rises (especially above the water temp), then its very likely that “oil temp” gauge is in fact the transmission fluid temp.
I don’t want to beat a dead horse …. but there are potentially three “oil temp” gauges we should have on our coaches: engine oil temp, trans fluid temp, and differential (or rear end) gear lube temp.

George, My wife and I also like a cold coach. As far as the noise inside coach from roof airs (which they do have) my wife and I like the background or as some call it white noise in the bedroom for sleeping. I was the one who said cruise airs do produce heat from under coach, and they do. Another plus to roof airs other than cost to replace, is the fact you do not even need anyone on the groung to catch when replacing.

i found the discussion on coach appraisals interesting, especially when it started producing IFD (internet forum drama). My first motorhome was destroyed in a fire, and I learned first hand the danger of dealing with an agent that didn’t know anything about RV’s and the importance of “stated value.” The threat of an army of lawyers releasing a litigation cloud produced a check from Farm Bureau.
BUT WHAT WAS REALLY INTERESTING WAS THE MENTION OF A FAKE PC MEMBER REGISTRATION AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE DEROGATORY COMMENTS ABOUT TOM. I KNOW HOW TO MAKE DEROGATORY COMMENTS ABOUT TOM, BUT CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THE FAKE PC REGISTRATION?

hey John, when I hit my brakes with the retarder in the first or second position my gauge has gone up to 300 but comes down very quickly. Do you think that is normal? Or is there something I can change to fix that?

We got the coach in early May 2015

Joel – thank you very much for your AZ input!

Do they not use locking nuts?
Nope.
