RE: New tires and new 'wobble'
Another fix for out of round tires is that the tire is not so much out of round itself as it is not seated correctly on the rim. I fought a vibration like this for quite awhile until one of the shops broke the front tires down, rotated them on the rim, reseated and re balanced. You want to make sure they are heavily soaped so that they seal centered.

RE: RV Parks ,@ Ocean Springs,MS.
If you are a member of Passport America (best $44 I ever spent) you can stay at Martin Lake Resort for $19 a night (half price). The address is actually Biloxi but it is on the Ocean Springs side of the bridge. They have a pool, lake with paddle boats, club house, etc. We have stayed there a couple of times. Nothing fantastic but probably about as good as you will find with full hookups in that area.

RE: norcold refreg no cool on AC or gas need to reset
Are you sure about not having a pin 15. I find two sets of instructions for new and old style boards resetting and both reference pin 15.
" Locate Pin 15 on 16 pin connector (P1). Pin 15 is
the empty socket to the right of the white/violet
wire on the top row"
If not how about disconnecting from power overnight then unhooking the batteries that should kill everything and allow time for any capacitors to bleed off then it should reset when you hook back up to 12V. Good luck and let us know if you get it going.

RE: Buying new vs. Pre-owned (3 years old)
For years we bought nothing but used. We would find a good used coach that someone else had taken the major depreciation hit on and then purchase it at the best price we could negotiate. Since we knew we were not going to keep the coaches for a long time we never worried too much about the floor plan in fact we even purchased a bunk model once long after the kids were gone. With the used coaches we would clean them up fix any major problems and use the heck out of them then sell them usually only loosing the repair and upkeep money. The last three coaches have been new and although we have the floor plan and engine we want the depreciation has killed us. Looking back I think we should have stuck with used.

RE: LED 'puck' light replacement
The entire fixture just shoves into a hole in the ceiling and is held in by spring clips. You should be able to pull the fixture down and remove it from the ceiling. While holding the upper portion of the fixture you should be able to twist the glass to remove it . If your lens is plastic you most probably do not have the same type of lights since these are halogen and get very hot and would most probably melt a plastic lens.

RE: campground suggestion around Nashville,
We stayed at Seven Points COE campground and loved it. If you have the America the Beautiful senior pass they honor the 50% off. Only downside is the sites are only water and electric but they have a dump site at the gate. Reservations can be made through Reserve America (Seven Points campground) We stayed 4 days and toured Fontanel Mansion, The Hermitage home of president Andrew Jackson, The Country Music Hall of Fame, Belle Meade Plantation, Belmont Mansion, and the Opryland Resort and Convention center. Four days was not near enough time.

RE: LED 'puck' light replacement
I think you are still looking at the wrong side of the fixture. The picture you are showing is the top portion of the light, the part that pushes up into the cabinet or ceiling. If your lights look like This the lower portion will have a glass cover that will twist off exposing the bulb.

RE: Coachman Feelander
Youngest son has a 2009 31' Freelander. It has worked well for his family of four for weekends and a once a year 3 week trip to Disneyland. Funny thing is on the used market it is worth almost almost as much as he paid for it new 3 years ago. About the only problem he has had so far is the cheap plastic kitchen faucet broke last trip out. His coach has been a lot better than my 40ft 08 Holiday Rambler class A.

RE: Paranoid!
Not that it can't be done but, I don't think it is that easy to roll back mileage any more. Until I retired we only averaged 2 to 5K a year on our coaches. Right now my 08 Endeavor has just a little over 25K and that includes two trips from Oregon to Florida. Don't see why low mileage should make you paranoid.

RE: Redding to Reno
Sorry 89 out of Mt Shata via Mc Cloud to Reno map shows 89 to 44.
Appreciate the replies. I like scenic, however I do want to make some time also. I will be traeling from the north.
Our preferred route.
Another good route if you are coming from Salem is Willamette Pass. Highway 58 just South of Eugene then 97 into klamath Falls then 39/139 to 395 and into Reno. That is the route the trucks and buses use.

RE: Am I missing something?
Naturally we were over 20 miles from the nearest rv supply store.
Plastic plugs are NOT an RV specific item.
Naturally we were 20 miles from the nearest town!

RE: Am I missing something?
You have already gotten the correct information on the difference between the Atwood and the Suburban tanks. What no one has mentioned is they recommend that any time you remove the plastic plug to replace it with a new on. I feel this may be overdoing it but I always carry a spare as I did have one with a small crack which leaked and when I tried to tighten it it broke in half. Naturally we were over 20 miles from the nearest rv supply store.

RE: LED 'puck' light replacement
thanks for the reply. how do these stay in the fixture? the factory ones have the spring clips which hold them in place.
I think you are referring to the springs that hold the entire fixture in the ceiling. If your puck lights use the G4 halogen bulbs these are a direct replacement and just plug into the same socket. If you turn the glass cover on the fixture it comes off and you can remove the bulb try removing one of your bulbs, just don't touch it with your hands as the oil from your skin will make the bulb burn out quickly. If your bulb is not flat with two pins like THIS post a picture here for us to see what it is. Some puck fixtures have a vertical rather than a horizontal mount.

RE: LED 'puck' light replacement
I replaced just the bulbs in mine with These The only problem I had is that they are polarity dependant so on some of my fixtures I had to reverse the wiring. The connecting pins were a little too long so I had to shorten them but a very easy swap. I ordered mine in warm white.
