I was hoping this problem wasn’t necessarily related to the TechLink system…because once I get beyond an extension cord or a light bulb, I’m a total doofus with things electrical.
But…I’m gonna take a look behind curtain #2 and see what’s there.
I appreciate everyone’s thoughts on this…ty

Dan, if you have a forklift you’re in hog heaven…we had to use a pallet jack which actually worked fine also. Geo.

We’ve only had two coaches…. the first had two tanks and now, we have one 189 gallon holding tank.
Here are the pluses to me:
– You can put more in one tank than two…. you never fill a tank anyway and not filling two tanks gives you less capacity.
– Hit one switch and you are all done.
– After I release the pleasant smell of the rose petals… I unhook the hose from the coach and go over to the water spigot and run fresh water through it so it’s even cleaner than running grey water through the hose. And no, I don’t touch the sewer hose to the spigot as I hold it down and let the water run into the hose (at least 7-8 inchs from the water flow).
The minues:
Can’t think of any.

Ditto what Geo said. Our last two were rescues and immediately went to the vet for neutering, shots, check up, etc.

Watched John do the interior mod when we were there….wonder if it can make it over the now famous Jersey bridge. Charles, what’s wrong with free kittens? LOL Geo.

Jeff to the rescue….Makes sense, many thanks.

The downside for internal sensors for me is the toad is not as easily monitored. We had a blowout on the toad about 10 years ago and I heard a muffled “pop” and very slight tug at the rear of the coach. I had no tire pressure monitoring system, but my gut told me to get off the highway fast.
I did get off the road and what I heard was a tire on the toad that had a blowout. I might not be so lucky the next time so for the time being I have a device called “Tattle Trail” which monitors the toad vibrations and if something is bad, even a wheel bearing it sends a signal to a monitor at the dash.

i had the TST internal sensors installed. Never could get more than 3 of the tires to show on the display. Would not recommend it. When I purchased new tires this summer the TST system went in the trash.
Question was raised about expenses. I am very anal on maintenance and try to keep the coach in close to new condition. I do no work on the coach myself. If you fit that profile it is a very expensive hobby costing me 30-50k per year. Still it is much less expensive than the depreciation on a new coach. If budget is a prime concern I would think one would be much better off financially in a late model plastic coach.
We bought our coach new and I know it inside out. We still like the floor plan and it works great for us. It maybe expensive to keep up but it is worth it to us.

so there is talk around central FL, you are going to head south for some R&R.
Hope to see you down here Robert. I keep the idea of a home built scenic cruiser rattling though my grey matter. Would love to see yours to give me some idea of what my crazy thoughts have me in for 🙂

3 greens, if you’re lucky (given your vintage you’re probably not) and it’s an external sensor, you can usually just tap on it. If it’s an internal one, unless you want to spend a lot of the green stuff, the light will become your constant companion. Geo.

Thanks Peter! Its a shame we don’t get it out more. Should sell the Florida house so we would have to spend the winter in the bus:)
