RE: Fuel samples
I always do the smell test at the nozzle just to make sure I have the diesel pump in hand and not the GREEN gas nozzle at the BP station. Smell test always works for me.

RE: How to remove the steering wheel on a 07 diplomat
Start here Bob.

On edit: trouble shoot is in pdf but after looking at it, I don't see the actual removal process. However, take a look at the steering wheel from the backside and look for recessed screws. You should find at least two..maybe three on the backside.

RE: FIRST TIME MOTORHOME
Hi, my wife and I also just purchased our first motorhome as we are working in Bryce Canyon for the next 4 months. I have questions regarding the stability of the lynx blocks under the tires as this space we are in is not very level. I am 3 high in the front and 2 high on the drivers side rear, both tires and it still not high enough. Also the motorhome will not move the entire 4 months. I'll probable have to go to 6 high in the front to get this rig level. additionally, we do not have leveling jacks so I need something to stop the wobbling. It's very windy in Bryce. Thanks for any suggestions. Oh one more thing, the Motorhome is a 1995 Winnebago 34WQ Adventure only 11,000 miles but has some cosmetic issues possibly some rain damage in the past.
Not being the "highjack police" but you will get better results if you start your own thread about the lynx blocks and the leveling process.

RE: clorox bleach in diesel
Roger,
Help me out here. I am seeing your fuel fill door just behind your roadside steer tire. I am seeing your water service bay just in front of your roadside dual rear wheel. Unless I am mistaken, it would be hard to do what you did since the fuel tank appears to be in the front and the gravity fill appears to be near the rear. Is your coach of a different design that this setup I found? And yes I realize that I am looking at a later year coach than yours. Do you have some other type of fuel fill in your water service bay area or is your fuel tank near the rear instead of being near the front?

RE: Replacing sofa?
That was a factory option. The original owner only used the coach for vacations but had to be able to access his full time business so he had the computer desk option, residential refrig option and 220 dryer put in so he could make the most out of his time to and from the rockies. He was from the same town I live in. He really knew what he was doing when he optioned out this dynasty....at least from my point of view. We are going to miss it when it is gone.

RE: Replacing sofa?
Take a look at these pics of our 05 dynasty. You will see the computer desk option in place of the extra sofa. We (I) really like the option of sitting in a recliner type setup. http://s224.photobucket.com/user/barlow46/library/Monaco%20Dynasty%20Pics/Monaco%20Dynasty%202005?sort=3&page=1

RE: Maintenance Checklist
I know this is not what you are asking but it is helpful in achieving your maintenance goal and it is free. It does take a little practice to get the most use out of it but worth the time in my opinion. I like that it emails me when it is time to take care of an item. Type in www.rvtodo.com
You should see AVAIL software when you hit enter. I tried to use the link but it takes me to my login page everytime. Too many cookies I guess.

RE: Former 5th Wheel Owners
I have owned 3 fifth wheels (still have one on a lot) and 2 motorhomes (still have one also) over the years and have always found the motorhome to be the best setup for seeing the country and the fifth wheel the best setup for semi-permanent lot setup. You can't beat the motorhome for traveling and with a toad you are unlimited in your day trips. You can stop at a rest stop, generator is already on and area is cool, bathroom and refrigerator immediately available. The ride is exceptional for those with bladder problems. We have now put our dynasty up for sale due to some family medical problems but will keep our fifth wheel set up on our lot. At least we can get out of the heat here in FL during our hurricane season but our over the road days are very limited now and the fifth wheel provides us with a nice living space with plenty of storage and minimal maintenance compared to a motorhome. There is always a trade off but we love our dynasty and will definitely miss it. If I had to pick one and had no health issues to deal with, I would definitely pick the motorhome.

RE: Need Advice...
Did you try placing some 2 x 10's under your wheels first to raise the chassis and then use the other wood under your jacks? Raising your chassis with wood under the wheels will relieve some of the travel required by the jacks. I am guessing that you have dumped your air to get your front lower before using the jacks to raise the rear.

RE: Cummins ISL hiccup
If not the gasket/O ring sucking air, you might be dealing with plugged filters from algae in the fuel. You have a 2003 coach with 20,000 miles on it which means it has been sitting a lot. If you end up taking the filter off, trying dumping it into a clear container or cut in half and see if it is clogged with algae. If so, post back and get recommendations on "polishing" the fuel and/or cleaning the tank. Hope it is a gasket/o-ring not seated....a lot less headache. Good luck.

RE: Driveway/Pad Size
Turning radius will depend on the "wheel cut" and wheelbase of the coach you end up buying. Here is a link to take a look at.

RE: To TOAD or Not to TOAD, that is the question
I think you would be wise to have it with you for a number of reasons, especially medical. Instead of buying a dolly to tow with, take a look at this website and see if Remco has a lube pump that you could install. Cost of pump would be about the same as tow dolly but would not include labor cost. Also, could trade the Rav4 on a Honda CRV and no need for a pump or tow dolly. Just another couple of options to look at.
