Do others see the lights as well VS amber like they should be? IMO, very distracting. Have no idea if they are illegal but I don't see how they can be legal. Seems no different than using lights higher than factory lights (headlights that is) unless using a snowplow. Grrrrrrrr..........

1. Water is your best friend in black tank. We add approximately 10 gal to it after dumping but also add: 1 capful of Calgon water softener, 1 capful of cheap fabric softener and use Happy Camper tank treatment (best we've found in keeping odors at bay. Do NOT leave black tank valve handle open...

Have seen where some covers have "special" stitching in sides of seats w/ air bags so they are able to separate easier, but not sure of quality of them.

Just want to ask to see what there maybe out there for choices regarding seat covers for passenger cars. Specifically: front seats w/ side air bags. Perhaps some already have installed certain brands, what do you like/dislike. Good 'ol Amazon has a ton of options. Really only need front seat...

Didn't touch anything inside coach. Just replaced the breaker.

What kind of docking station set up do you have? Is it original? I'm on board w/ rhodies1 that it's going into your fresh tank which would lead me to believe you have a issue w/ docking station hook up.

rhodies1, I climbed up onto roof yesterday to take a look at things. Overall, didn't see any issue with the new roof seams at cap/roof mating area. Did see tho where the factory chaulking where sidewall and cap meet and the (correct name escapes me) plastic trim wasn't 100% so it could be...

Sorry Rhodes, I did take the pics when it was not raining and not dripping, but just wanted to show y'all where it was when it was dripping. I'm off tmrw and will be wrapping up getting it ready for storage so will climb up onto roof and take a gander at things.

Took these of course when it wasn't raining yesterday, but ya get the idea of where I'm talking about

Mine will do the 1k idle when it's cold. I really liked the 6.0 when it did it!!. Never gave the warm up the exhaust a thought, but it has also done it when it's warm too. Don't have a high idle program that I've seen in the settings. When it has idled up, it lasts for 10-20 minutes or so...

task, I've been around DEF trucks for past 12 years (DEF pick ups for past 9) incl semis and under normal circumstances, they will re-gen while driving. Even some semis will need to have a forced re-gen done from time to time. In my Ford's case, with self idle up to 900-1000 rpms, IMO doesn't...

travelin2, Raining, but no A/C. No W/D as that would be in the big hallway slide. Didn't see any water coming from front of cap towards the inbox. Other side was dry.

Am sorry if this isn't in right area, but as title suggests, I noticed water dripping here and yet it's dry from outer edge to pinbox. Any suggestions?

This is an odd one to me. Despite towing some good distances and on some good hills, truck still idles itself up @ times as if trying to do a re-gen. Sadly, I normally hop in and hit the brake pedal thus stops the re-gen. Why would it still do this?

If possible upon replacement, go to a regular battery place (Interstate comes to mind) for replacement. UNLESS you know for sure: say Wal-Mart carries deep cycle batteries. Get same one as you had.

Go on the roof and have someone flush the toilet and listen by each vent cap. Wouldn't suggest doing the sniff test for this. LOL

Happy Camper tank treatment as another suggestion

Can always remind him: "Happy wife, Happy life". LOL.

Is it the brass or plastic valve? If the latter, replace it w/ the brass one. If already brass, some else will have to answer.

Could you please provide the stats for the RV? GVW, Cargo capacity, Pin weight if known.

Welcome and Congrats on the new toy hauler!

Got ya now CW !

How does that work tho when you're trying to hook up and truck batts are in front? When I removed the 1 batt, used jumper cables from it to RV batt to get legs up.

When I had the Flex-Armor put on, for whatever reason, the Fantastic fans were on and the single batt went dead before I was able to pick it up. Had to remove 1 batt form the truck (dually diesel) to power the jacks. Once done, put truck batt back in and came home. RV batt bit the dust shortly...

Do you like/love the Milestone outside of the issue you're having? Do plan on keeping it should HL fix it back in IN? Reason I ask is, our coach has the Schwintek on the Slide-n-Slide to which I've never been a fan of after reading many reports on it. Knock on wood, it's been ok, but still not...

I only have 1 batt and I remove it upon putting it in storage. Take downstairs, put it in a board and hook up a battery tender to it till spring.

I used the Eternabond in a cple ares of concern before I had the Flex Armor done. Not that I had a def issues, just a precaution. Installer said that the tape can also trap moisture, so I'd suggest along what others have said in prepping it, make sure it's as dry as possible before installing...

Either it's all "C's" or use the Christmas tree method.

Well it took 7 years, but our "Pleather" started peeling off the sofa seat cushion last weekend. Only 1 more trip planned for this year. Will have to decide what we want to do. Am not fond of Lazy Boys operation of their recliners and wife loves the electric seat, heat and massage in the theatre...

Stats of the RV? What is gear ratio of the truck? What is trucks RV capacity? Did the truck do a lot of downshifting/upshifting? Headwind?

After dumping the black tank and doing a backlash (currently w/ built in unit), I'll keep doing this until the water is pretty much clear when viewing it thru the clear elbow on hose. Then add 10-12 gallons of water and Happy Camper tank additive along w/ 1 capful each of Calvin water softener...

Elect jacks on front. Had them on our '06 Silverback. Now we have hyd jacks and won't go back

Well that stinks on the HL doing away w/ the BC line.

Speaking of GD, holy moly I've seen a TON of their RV's here on the hiways of NY. In order: Reflection, Imagine, Solitude then Momentum. Hardly any Landmarks, Big Horns or Big Country. Seen more Montanas than the 3 HL's combined.

Thanks tasks. Just ordered 2 that short straw linked too. Was told if they by chance don't fit thru things that I can return them.

Do the pins come out so you can run them thru the hitch? Problem I'm running into is the hitch is so massive that the hooks can't go all the way thru and by looking at the 2 above pics (well one as the 2nd is same concept), they don't look like they'll fit thru either.

What do you all recommend for hooks to go thru the hitch holes on the receiver for tow chains on a '17 Super Duty?? Seems that Ford kinda went overboard on their hitches thinking real heavy loads would be towed thus those trailers having very large hooks. BUT not all towed trailers are this way...

From the factory: All breakers are on same busbar w/ same wire/cable from battery to it (I have just 1 battery). All the breakers then go to wherever after that and the hyd pump has a wire/cable directly from it's own breaker (50A). I had replaced all the breakers a couple years ago, yet still...

Many discussions on this topic. May want to look in search bar. But the breakers should be near the battery or follow the positive cable from batt to the bussbar. From there you'll see all the breakers and one dedicated to the hyd pump. Easy to replace. Just get a 50 or 80 amp breaker and...

Good luck and welcome as well from CNY.
