RE: Diesel Engine size & MPG
...don't .....monitor the mpg .....
I think you hit the nail on the head here. :B
If anyone feels the ~need~ to, then maybe RVing isn't for them?

RE: Diesel Engine size & MPG
According to Cummins it is just a grade brake on all ISBs. On your next down hill drives manually downshift with out ex.brake switch on and then use ex. brake. You will notice no difference. I thought mine wasn't working right so talked to Cummins and this is the info they gave me. I have driven another coach with the ISB 6.7 (mine is the 5.9) and it worked the same way.
Your are incorrect. ISB 6.7 does more than "downshift"...
Please provide your source for this information.

RE: Bringing friends on trip. What about liability?
Do you have a sound-proof door on the bedroom of the MH? If not, I wouldn't invite them along. Just my 0.02. :)

RE: Change oil every 3,000 miles?
Man all this talk of OIL has me feeling really bad about my riding lawn mower, Im sure its way past due for a oil change.:R
I had a 2003 model Craftsman rider with the 22HP vtwin (B&S) motor... Never changed the oil ONCE the entire time I had it. Never consumed a drop either. Last summer I gave it away to a friend when I got a new one with a bigger deck and tighter turning radius... They still use it today... Hmm.. Wonder if they ever changed the oil?

RE: what kind of toys do you take with your toddler camping?
A card board box
Throw some packing/strapping tape into the mix and you've got the makings of a great game.

RE: Dumping waste tanks into a septic system?????
Your chemicals will likely kill the "good bugs" in your septic.
Maybe assuming he uses chemicals. Not all of us need them or use them.....
I read his thread. You obviously, did not.

RE: Boost Pump for City Water
SolidAxle
Never hook-up to city water carry out all that weight.
I'm glad it's you I like to travel light.
Have you ever done the math? To determine the percentage of water weight you carry at 10 gallons vs 50 vs full tank? I have no idea which RV you have.... But with my 150 gallons full, that's only 1200 out of my 16-17k pounds. If my my tank is totally empty vs totally full, it makes ZERO difference in performance or economy.

RE: Boost Pump for City Water
I never connect to the city water... I always have my water tank 100% full and run off of it. One less thing to hook up / disconnect.
In a 4-5 day weekend, I've never run dry. I Just refill it when I get back home.

RE: Your new tow or RV vehicle
....But having been an engineer for one of the largest companies in the world, I can say we got sheets on the future a couple years prior to being implemented. ....
The larger they are, the less you actually knew about strategy.
LOL. I work (world) Fortune 5. I have my finger on the pulse of the future of it all! LOL :R

RE: Harlee is having hard time standing during the evening.
My old labs took both low dose Rhymadil (sp?) and Cosequin (joint supplement)... Did a world of wonders.
We've since switched to Pyroxican (sp?) from the rhymadil. This change was due to diagnosis of bladder cancer. Pyroxican (people drug) is another NSAD which is good for arthritis, but also has been found very successful at treating transitory cell carcinoma cancers.
Back to the arthritis.... After getting them on the Rhymadil / Cosequin combo... I literally had to put my 16 year old lab on a leash when letting her out first thing after work. Otherwise, she felt well enough to bolt and run across our property!

RE: Pet Safety While Unattended in RV for 4-6 Hours
What precautions do you take when you leave your dog for 4-6 hours when at HOME? How is it any different than when you're in an RV?

Spoke with one of the engineers at GM last night. ..... snip...
So give me your thoughts.

I'm actually amazed that this thread made it to this many pages given that FMCSA regulations specifically exclude "recreational" towing....
