I feel stupid... Silly me - left out two important details. Asking $117k. Located near Denver, Colorado.

Sikaflex 252 is the product used on our rig. Use Google to search for 'sikaflex 252' or check Amazon. They had it last time I checked. Warning: it's pricey stuff.

Our roadside assistance coverage is $27/year.

We have roadside assistance through Progressive. We've used them twice - once for a flat tire and the second time for a breakdown. They were fast, professional, and hassle free.

There's definitely a problem -- it takes 1-2 minutes for every new page to load.

I thought this would be a great idea too... But, the installation instructions for my genset recommend against it: "Never join or tee the generator exhaust system and the vehicle exhaust system together. Doing so may cause excessive back pressure on the generator engine, also condensation from...

Blizz and Geof - thanks for the replies! So, to confirm... a car on a stinger lift *can* be backed up (with the proper precautions), correct? Any recommendations on the optimum distance between the motorhome and the car?

I recall a comment in an earlier thread (that I cannot seem to locate) about underlift towing. GeofKaye, maybe? Anywho, I like the convenience of flat-towing our Honda (four wheels down) but not being able to back up is limiting. As an alternative, I'm wondering about rigging up an underlift...

I too have used a modified sine wave inverter for several years. In doing my pre-purchase research the only thing that the modified sine wave inverter wouldn't run that affected me is a laser printer. I have been very happy with the Xantrex RV3000 installed in our rig. We have 980 A-hrs of...

1. Between 2 and 3 inches. (hard to get an exact measurement) 2. Just fine - but, we have air suspension on the back axle (leaf springs in the front) 3. No issues at all at present. I think over time the foam and vinyl upholstery that covers the accordion seal on the inside (part of interior...

Sorry for the confusion... No, only the cab is air ride. The coach box is rigidly mounted to the frame. There is an accordion seal between the cab and the coach box.

We have a Freightliner M2 with an air-ride cab. The accordion seal has worked fine for us with the air-ride fully enabled. For more details on one manufacturers seals, see: UniGrip Accordion Seals

Hi Gil, I went with a Remco towbar with a Blue Ox base plate. See: Tow Bar + Base Plate package. I did all the installation myself. Installing the base plate was not difficult -- remove some stock Honda plates and bolt on the base plate using the same mounting holes. The lights were a...

We tow a Honda CR-V four-wheels-down. I believe the brake capacity of our conversion is more than adequate for the toad 99% of the time. I researched weight-limit laws and concluded that I could probably get away without having a brake system on the toad. BUT, that 1% chance was the catalyst...

Different strokes for different folks. As I said in my original reply, using an inverter depends on your power requirements and camping preferences. My Xantrex inverter has served me very well and I have no regrets and like not having to run the generator or plug in on a regular basis. I agree...

It is my understanding that a 'converter' is the combination of a high-tech charger and DC power distributor. In other words, the converter will charge your batteries and help manage DC loads. An'inverter', on the other hand, allows you to run AC loads off of your batteries (in addition to...

It depends on your power needs and where you plan to camp. If you plan to stay in campgrounds with electric hookups your need for large batteries and an inverter is less than if you plan do do lots of boondocking. We prefer state parks and forest service campgrounds and seldom plug in. For us...

Clarifying further... the isolator that Blizz mentions allows both the truck and coach batteries to be charged at the same time by the truck's alternator. It also ensures that neither will be over charged or drained by an unintended load. One source to check out is Sure Power.

I pieced together a setup using parts from McMaster Carr. These are the parts I used: 1 6464K16 PNEUMATIC CONTROL VALVE, FLIP TOGGLE, 3-WAY, 2-POS, MANUAL RETURN, 1/8" NPT 2 2639T7 PTFE SLEEVE BEARING, FOR 1/4" SHAFT DIA, 3/8" OD, 1/2" LENGTH 3 2639T15 PTFE SLEEVE BEARING, FOR...

I contacted Bridgestone/Firestone back in September regarding retrofitting my single-axle rig with super singles. Here's their reply: Factoring in the reply above and the cost to retrofit (new wheels and tires), I decided to stick with duals. And, FWIW, super singles were a factory option on...
