    June,

    So sorry to hear about Donald’s condition, but hopefully this change will aide his MS. My sister has MS and certainly not traveling helps her every day life.

    You guys did a magnificent job keeping your Bus clean and up-to-date, so I’m sure it’ll sell soon!

    Our Best to you Both!

    Rick,

    I was at AAP two months ago and had 1 cruisair replaced, the other three units tested/serviced/charged and one SMX control replaced. They had me in the shop at 8:30 and out the door around 3 PM. Top notch facility and staff. There’s a nice campground about 10 miles south that I used so that I could be there first thing in the morning. Total cost was in the neighborhood of $4000.

    Rick,

    Assuming you have 4024 inverters and remotes, push the green button once (only once) and see if it looks like this.

    I had an issue with the auto start switch on the generator itself. The auto start at times would not be illuminated at the dash. Marathon swore it was a bad wire between dash and gen. Wanted to spend hours tracing it. I found the issue in about 15 min as i started from the gen and worked my way up the wire harness. It was a $5 switch gone bad.

    Something to look at!

    That’s a good choice Tim, I use CoPilot and have been very pleased with it. And you can’t beat the off line maps! I’ve used Garmon for years and really got tired of it recalculating in the middle of a major city.

    In keeping with this thread I can tell you one and all that I too got on the wrong road. But Jon and Tom eventually got me going in the right direction. Whoever said drinking is bad for you?

    I’am just going from memory …BTW, some days better then others

    In New York if a road is labeled “Parkway” truck and/or commercial traffic is not permitted travel ? And the reason is low clearance overpasses.

    Thus this old joke…

    “why do New Yorkers drive on a parkway and park on a drive way “?

    August 28, 2017 at 7:58 am in reply to: Harvey And Diesel Availability And Prices

    I am sure there will be a huge increase in prices. 25% of all gasoline is refined in Pasadena Texas. So much of all of our petro chemicals are made in Pasadena. All along 225 in Pasadena, on both sides of the 6 lanes are petro chemical plants. This is going to have a huge inflationary impact on our economy. Oh, by the way I found this article about turning old tires into fuel for diesel engines. Thought it was interesting. Cheers Michael

    Your the Man Bob. Wish I had your knowledge and expertise. Redoing my gen set remote radiator mount as we speak and waiting on parts. Had somebody do it years ago and it has never worked right. Hats off.
