I just traveled that route, going south on Jan. 1 and returning northbound on Mar 1. The northbound lane is not all that bad but the southbound side is absolutely horrible. Thought I would loose a kidney before we got through it. Bypass it if you can.

The comments you have just read is pretty much the same tone I have seen on other forums.

When I went to pick my rig up the dealer had it completely prepped with water in the tanks, frig on with ice made in ice maker, furnace running etc......you get the picture. All systems had already been checked out and still in operation for us to observe. Great prep work by dealer which led...

RUN As fast as you can!

Pete, Yes, the Maxxis tires I bought was the M8008's. Ironically, the tire dealer I bought them from is a Goodyear tire dealer/store. He had to order the Maxxis tires as he did not carry them in stock and he did say that he sometimes goes through periods that he cannot get them. What was...

All three of our slides on our 07 3055rl had the exposed 1/4" of plywood in the slide flooring. I noticed an area of water absorption in the bedroom slide the first year we had the unit so I caulked all three slides along the exposed area. I have not seen any further damage and it has been over...

I ran my OEM Karrier Loadstars for 15,000 miles on my 3055rl. I replaced them due to some cracking between the sidewall and tread cap; however, my tire guy basically said that it was not serious. Nevertheless, I replaced them with E rated Maxxis for $600 mounted, taxes......out the door. To...

Brad, There is always the exception and we are one of them. For some reason, we had our wires burn completely up this winter in a junction box under our slideout when running a ceramic space heater. The breaker did not trip, and the other outlets on the circuit remained hot. I still do not...

I've used an ice maker in my basement for a couple of years and its worked great without any vents.

Will be hitting the big 60 this July....................I hadn't given it much thought until I read this thread! Now what do I do.....................I'm thinking? :(

We purchased our unit from them in the fall of 2006. Our experience with them was good during the sale and with warranty issues after the sale. I certainly would buy from them again and would recommend them to others.

IMHO any dealer that tries to slip in a charge for a PDI at closing is untrustworthy..........the same as a car dealer trying to slip in those "Prep fees" at signing. In all cases I will walk away from the deal!

Gerhdo, I believe the circuit you are talking about should be a 12 volt circuit. If it is not one of the 12 volt fuses, try checking for a loose grounding wire.

Although the fireplace in my coach is on a dedicated circuit it is still on a 15A circuit. By this criteria, does it mean that the 15A circuit is inadequate for the fireplace?

We just had an incident last weekend with our wiring. The wiring in the junction box under the dining area slide burned completely out. This junction box is for the one outlet in the slide. The only thing on this outlet was a ceramic heater so the circuit should not have been overloaded. What is...

gasket Mine did the same thing and the techs at the rally fixed it. All they did was pull it completely out down to the bottom on the side that has pulled loose and then press it back into place starting at the curve and working down. It is caused by shrinkage so after you reinstall it there...

I'm waiting for any one of the big three to go back to the unlimited usage plan............until that time it will be the bricks and sticks DSL and the campgrounds WIFI's.

Just an FYI................the recall on the 08's 6.4 faulty radiator is made in Mexico. Mine went out (starting leaking and was replaced) with on 7,000 miles! Can only hope the replacement radiator came from a different line than the originals.

Curiousity Question I was just wondering why Lippert's manuals adamantly say do not put jacks under the axle. The entire units weigh is sitting on top of the axles so if a block of wood is used on top of the jack spreading the stress point out a little from the small jack tip, what is the...

TwoHands, My 07 3055 is exactly like that. At first I also thought the strip had broken but if you look, there is a short piece at the top identical to the bottom; so, I believe the short pieces are inserts to keep the longer strip in place.

Floor Pan Heartland Service, Is there anyway you can post a picture of the area.....would really help. Thanks in advance.

The is a Howards RV on I-55 S. You will see it on the left side if you are heading south.

Mine was doing that also and the repair is simple.....they showed me at the rally. Just pull it all the way out down the side, push it back up in place and press it back in. It will leave a short gap at the bottom due to the seal itself shrinking (thats was caused it to come loose). I actually...

Sandy Oaks Rv Resort I'm looking at this CG for January. Is anyone familiar with Sandy Oaks Rv Resort in Beverly Hills, FL and with the surrounding area?

Would like to revitalize this thread. Its getting close to a new year for the snowbirds so I'm looking for suggestions. I have reservations for Feb. in Gulfshores Al. but now I am looking for a potential spot in Central Fla. for January. This late in the year, it is tough to find a place that...

4ever, What did you do about any holes left in freezer walls. I've thought about taking mine out also.

I always take the rod out when the unit is out of service. Its does not rust in tight that way. When ready to use rv, just wire brush the threads insert and off you go.

If your unit is anything like mine, it only takes about 15 minutes and two gallons of antifreeze to winterize your unit. To run the furnace for any length of time just to keep the lines from freezing could be an expensive tasking versus the antifreeze. For instance, I do not full time but I do...

I had somewhat the same experience as Jay. We had a freeze warning one night a few years ago so we decided to trickle the water all night rather than fill the fw tank and disconnect our hose. I also closed the gray tank valves so the sewer hose would not turn into a block of ice. I had no...

Jim, I have lived here in Crossville for 3 1/2 years now. I retired from St. Louis and moved here. It is a small retirement community and is considered the Golf Capital of Tennessee. Obviously the golf, the cost of living and the mild climate is the attractive aspects for retirees. As far...

Maybe I have my head in the sand but I really have a hard time justifying the price of the 614's. I have just replaced my "China Bombs" of 15,000 miles with Maxxis M8008 (made in Thailand) that seem have a very good reputation around all forums. According to various literature from tire...

Ray Just curious as to why you are looking at new batteries if your old one is not showing any signs of going downhill; although, I do look forward to the debate that will follow about the group 24 vs. the group 29. The forum is always educational!!

Due to the issues some of us have with the amount of water needed in our tanks before the pump will pick up and the difficulties of draining them completely, I am thinking of rigging a 5 -7 gal. portable tank in the basement and using the antifreeze tubes for the pick up. This will provide water...

FYI, On the 3055 the valve is in the wall behind the entry closet and as far as I can see, the only way to get to it is by taking out the back panel inside the closet. I just keep my fingers crossed I won't have to!

Cdnrver, I ran my "china bomb" loadstars for 14,000 miles without incident. I just replaced then with Maxxis M8008 (also foreign made) due to excessive wear on one of the tires. A friend is still running his Missions on his SOB and have approx 12,000 miles without incident. I believe that if you...

I had a similar problem except the rear tire wear was only on one side. I have not had the unit aligned yet. It seems that if it is the alignment it would wear on both sides (the tire wore evenly across the tread ruling out camber). I am thinking that as it is only one tire it could be that...

Just wondering.......could a torch be used to melt the plastic inside the threads? Just wondering, because I know my bottom fitting has a slight leak and the plastic fitting will also probably break when torque is applied to remove it. Not looking forward to the task!!!

Bob, I'm not talking about licensing fees, titleing fees, etc. Many dealers tack on a "Documentation Fee" that is their money. Here in Tenn. I have seen it as much as $500 at some dealerships and $0 at others. When I was in Missouri it was the same way. I walked out of a dealership a couple...

If a dealer tried to charge me for a PDI I would run off those premises as fast as I could; the same as I have done at auto dealerships for those trumped up exorbinate "Documentation Fees" that some have tried to slip into the sales contract. Those tactics just prove to me that the dealer is...

Deep down this is my suspicion also; however the left rear wore evenly across the tread pattern which sometimes can indicate a weight issue. But the front left wore on the inside from the last tread pattern inward, which could be a camber issue. The China bombs have 13,000 miles so there is no...
