How many I have made is ??? Do know I have learned more than I ever intended to know. Time for a shakedown! I know of some cosmetic mistakes that I need to correct.—My thinking is the shakedown at this point takes first stage. Let the adventure begin.. Bob

Diane I changed my inverters to pure sine wave for the sub zero fridge they are magnums easy to change charge rate on both inveters

We were warned to NEVER set the chargers to more than 15amps on each leg which is the default charging amperage on our Vantare.
I wonder why? Can you burn up the chargers? Curious now?

That’s a good little campground and was our home park back in the Coast to Coast days. Next time give us a shout and we’ll get a bean.

Some of the items you search will have Ad’s at the top, that’s the price we pay for free use of the search function with Google. If we don’t want the Ad’s to appear, we have to pay a certain fee based on number of uses. We felt the Ad’s would not be a big deal, just scroll down past them and our search begins.
Otherwise, we need to increase your dues…..

Just about finished up.
Going to reinstall the Jakes tomorow, set the lash on them then seal everything back up after clenaing up the valve cover and making sure everything is tidy around the head.
Once I finish I will post a new thread with write up and photos.
So far all valves tight and out of spec except for exhausts on #1 which were close. All injectors heights were out of spec.
Detroit manual says 120,000k is first time they should be checked, but then they updated that and added to manual that 60K is when it should be looked at an adjusted if necessary. I am at 82,500 right now.
Anyways, once you get into it, not all that bad, no way would I have been able to do #4,5,6 from below,, so much easier doing it from the bedroom!

Apparently, nobody has heard from Verizon, so this is a cautionary note to remind you that current carrier promotions, such as double the data for the same price, will expire on October 31.
I will wait another week hoping to hear from Verizon since they have announce something regarding their takeover over Millenicom accounts.
But if I do not hear from them by the end of next week, I may just have to go and find the best plan and run with it.
At this time,Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile are offering the same or similar deals.
So, if you are a Millenicom customer, you may want to research this matter to avoid losing out on a deal.
Cheers,
Ronald

We have stayed at the KOA in Charlottesville. It’s a bit tight but doable for a couple of nights. Check thier website for directions as there is only one safe route due to small bridges in the area.

Thank you Jon,I’m not sure, I will ask tomorrow and let you know what I find out.

I found all the Michelin 315s you all have been looking for.
They are stashed at Mira Loma Prevost. 36 of them and they do not look like they have been there long. I was not tall enough to see the date code.

The apparent savings is .3 MPG.
While that doesn’t sound like much it is a 5% improvement. Or to put it another way, I just got a 5% discount on my fuel purchases which currently is about 17 cents, and that is on top of the 10 cents I have been enjoying via the fuel discount program. Pretty soon I can convince myself that owning a coach actually makes sense.
Since that change I have plugged my EGR so no exhaust is entering the intake manifold and the DDEC was changed to eliminate any possibility of EGR operation. I began another phase of my plans to see if I can improve mileage. I only have refueled twice so I will not comment further until late spring in 2015 when I will have another 9000 miles of data collected.
I already have a final and more radical change planned and it is contingent upon the results of my most recent phase.
Anyone claiming 1 MPG or more improvement with the Ugly Fix or disabling of the EGR is likely not using a large enough base of data or refuelings. If I were to calculate fuel mileage based on one trip, one refueling, or one section of roadway it would not accurately reflect the true impact of a change. Our fuel tanks have varying amounts of fuel in them when the nozzle clicks off. This is due to the slope of the fuel islands, the sensitivity of the fuel nozzle, and the phase of the moon. Our performance is substantially impacted by headwinds or tailwinds, if we are towing, if we have to run the air conditioning, if we adjust for generator fuel use, outside temperature, etc. We need to develop data over the broad range of driving conditions. As a result my next 6 months of driving is going to closely match the same period last year including destinations in TX, FL and NV to eliminate as many variables as possible.
