In the Greenville Spartanburg, SC area ,according to the EFS Price Locator, the prices range from $1.33 to $2.7. The $1.355 price is at TA Spartanburg, I-85 & SR 290, exit 63.

Checking on prices for I-26 towards Columbia and Charleston. Nothing even displays along the entire route.

I had a 97 Royal and always thought it was a poor design with external lines running all over the roof knowing that sooner than later the lines would deteriorate from the sun and weather and need replaced.

I would think it shouldn’t be to bad a job Marshall, but like you said, the 90 degree turn down through the coach would be the hard part. Not sure if you can access the underside side of the roof if you run into trouble at the 90’s. Worst come to worse you could just terminate the line at the rear and let it run off the roof. That also has it’s problems with water stains.

Check this out….I didn’t need much fuel, but I wanted to get familiar with the TSD card and get accustomed to using it.

Look at these numbers:

Fuel purchase at the pump….Loves @ Blacksburg, SC posted price $2.26

Cash price $2.22.9

My purchase: $151.25 @ the pump

Drafted my account $83.48….after several fees…wont’ bore you.

Net saving: $67.89

Making price per gallon: $1.22.9/gal

Unless I’m missing something, this is the greatest thing since sliced bread! TY

I have a new charger just like yours, I wonder how did you wire yours. I have the manual for it and it shows two battery banks,

one series and one parallel, My bus has a 4 battery bank.

Ive seen the schematic in other posts, but they dont fit with the way Prevost wired my batteries, Im just curious where you put the two pairs of wires coming off the charger.

Any info would be great and a pic would be outstanding,(but I know its a pain to take the time and cover off the bank for that.

Thanks Steve

The two schrader valve fittings only hold pressure for a while but I never knew them to be appropriate for draining the accessory or wet tanks.

A well maintained pneumatic system with routine dryer element replacement (I do 2 years) is likely to keep moisture from the wet tank and all tanks downstream. But converters depending on how the coach is set up can have moisture enter the accessory (auxiliary) tank from the aux compressor, especially if the converter has not provided a good water trap or dryer.

We had the two-stage brake on the Dynasty. I do like the retarder’s six settings and the fact that it comes on automatically the second you step on the brake pedal (as long as you turn it on at the steering wheel).

With the jake on the Dynasty, I could not leave it in the ‘on’ setting as the cruise would not engage. The Marathon’s jake may work differently.

Also, I have not notice excessive heat with the retarder. It could be that the temp sensor is not in the right place to give an accurate reading.

Safe travels!

Sometimes we lay a 1×4 across the very back of the bed and then a couple of 2×6’s under the wheels and that eliminates any weight on the tailgate at all.

A couple screws to attach the runners to the cross piece to keep it intact.

Dick, A break down away from home is of interest to all of us. Please keep us posted daily until your radiator repair is complete and you are back on the road. Darrell

I don’t know of any DISH plan where all channels come from 61.5. The home antenna should have more than 1 “eye” on the LNB and this is so it can receive the signal from more than 1 satellite. Most users setup on the Eastern Arc can get their programming from 61.5 plus 72.7. Others also pick up the 77 satellite. The Western Arc utilizes 110, 119 and 127. The dome antennas only have 1 “eye” on the LNB so can only receive the signal from a signal satellite and must move from satellite to satellite to receive programming broadcast there. The domes do have the advantage of being able to utilize a hybrid mode where you use the EA for 61.5 and WA for 119 and 129 channels but it causes a lot of movement since the satellites are so far apart.

Even the home sytle RV antennas like the Winegard Trav’ler are only setup for the WA satellites so using them to receive 61.5 or 72.7 has to be done manually and only 1 at a time.

We will plan on it.

We simply by a roll of butyl tape. It’s used to seal vents and other appliances on the roof of the rv. It will hold the heaviest of decorations from moving around. When you want it off, the residue is easy to get off. Its available at rv supply stores and also Amazon

Museum gel/putty. Putty works better in heat then gel, gel tends to run/thin out when it gets warm.

Jar notes “for securing glass and crystal” it works well on other items too.

I supported the Bay door before removing the gas shocks. Then drilled a dimple in typical pipe clamps ends. Using the pipe clamps I was able to compress gas shock and snap them on to the shock pins, as per attached pictures.

Every different thermostat has to match the AC board in it. That smart touch sounds like it ties to all the systems, not sure how it works?
