over 3000 lumens! Wow, I think I'd get a ticket for that around here, but they would sure be nice on the open road.

Are you talking about SAE compliant driving lights, or did you add lights specifically for off the beaten path?

Normally, I like to be on the jacks and topping off my bourbon tank well before dark. Unfortunately, our upcoming trip will require some night time travel. Therefore, the guard does seem almost like a necessity. Extra lights are on the list too.

Fan and AC belts, fuel filters, 2 gallons of coolant, 2 gallons of 15W40, gallon can of diesel for priming new filters. Pre-trip (from memory): oil, coolant, and power steering fluid level. Inspect for any new leaks or any abrupt change in any levels. Shake fan to check for bearing wear, peek...

I spoke to the folks at Herd yesterday. They have a dealer only a few hours away from me.

The freightliner dealer worked on the truck for nearly two days. In addition to the complete truck and genset maintenance, they fixed a few little things, serviced/inspected the auto level system, and gave me a 30 minute walk through on maintenance, pre-trip inspection, controls, and...

Yep, my sons are 16 and 15. Daughters 13 and 12, so I guess the only good news is that I will deal with it all at once! The tanks really let you cover some ground. I am trying to resist the urge to have them and the wheels professionally mirror polished. I think I can hold out until I find...

Thanks! My "13 going on 21" oldest daughter. Tanks are 100gal each. Glad you brought up the radio. I haven't even turned it on yet. Do you use yours frequently? What are its uses, appropriate channels, etc.

That is really shaping up nicely! You do great work. We had a '79 E-350 extended that we used for all of our hauling and road trip needs. It had a 460 V-8. The old joke was very apt: "it would pass anything but a gas station!"…even with a load.

Finally figured out how to post pics

Detroit Diesel did the pre-purchase oil analysis on the engine and generator engine. Now that we have a baseline, I will request an analysis on every oil change. Our results indicated that the engine was still "in break-in." I was pleased to find that my dealer did not add the extra $20.00...

Resurrecting an old thread: Anyone install a Herd guard, or similar product, on their conversion? We are planning to take our Renegade to Alaska next summer. I am concerned about protecting the front end from wildlife damage, especially since we will be doing some traveling at night. I had...

I decided to print off the list and take it to my FL dealer this morning. When I arrived, the service writer had printed a similar list and was comparing the M1, M2, & M3 service items to their "full service" package. The service writer then asked the service manager to join us and the three...

Since we purchased our FL Motorhome used, and the previous owner kept no service records, we are starting from scratch at 80K miles. I've read through the FL service manual and, if I read it correctly, we should have an M1, M2, and M3 service for a Service schedule II in order to get up to...

Ours has one big rubber flap that stretches all the way across the rear end. Unfortunately, we don't tow anything, so I don't know how effective it is. I do know that the previous owner kept a 31' stacker on the hitch. It was on there for the first test drive. There wasn't a scratch or ding...

I will look into that, thanks.

Those storage shelves and lights are just what we need. Just like you, I am very careful not to alter it in a way that cannot be returned to stock. One of the appeals of this unit is that it is bone stock with absolutely no alterations that my inspector or I could find. A squeegee and chamois...

Copy that on the plywood! I'll get a sheet diced up soon. thanks! Absolutely, on the shake down trips. We have one planned for tomorrow and another for Friday. We have a state park only 35 minutes away, but it is so quiet and secluded it seems much farther. We have been covered up with...

We brought the new (to us) motorhome home yesterday. Wow! what a way to travel! It was a big transition for us to go from an SUV/Travel trailer combination to a truck conversion, but it was the first time I've ever sat behind the wheel wishing I was farther from home! The wife and children...

Thanks! I signed up with Coach-Net.

What is the best roadside assistance to purchase?

do you find the jack pads are often necessary?

Thanks! I spent four evenings reading (and highlighting) the 141 page operator's manual. I still haven't figured those switches out yet. I will re-read the manual tomorrow on the plane. The tires are represented as one year old, they look new, but I confess I neglected to check the date of...

thanks for the pm

If you have a minute, please tell me about the upgrades they performed for you. We wanted to do a few upgrades (most importantly, installing a washer/dryer) as well, and they welcomed the opportunity to do them, but were reluctant because we had not seen any examples of their work.
