RE: Antifreeze
Most antifreeze types list a 5 year use life regardless of mileage. If your chassis is a 04, your pushing 9 years. I would change it if it were mine.

RE: Looking for new insurance
I had Progressive for 3 years and got an increase every year, switched to GMAC for 1 year and got a 40% increase the next. Just switched to Centry 21. I,ve had no claims and no violations at all. I guess its just like cell phones, the only way to get a fair deal is switch carriers every few years.

RE: Shocks and oil change
I find that most Ford dealers are very fair priced for both, but almost anyone can change the oil. Its not really any different than any gas engine.

RE: the worse built motorhome you can think of
Worst/best? apples/oranges? Maybe a better comparison would be what is the worst $100,000.00 coach or the worst $300,000.00 coach? Obviously $85,000.00 coach wouldn't have the quality of a $500,000.00 coach.

RE: Repairing Levelers
I installed a seal kit in one of my rear levelers last year. pretty easy job and the kit comes with very detailed instructions. Bought my kit from CW on line at a cost of $68.00. Took about 2 hrs but most of the time spent was getting the leveler off the coach. The next one will be much faster.

RE: cig smell removal how
An Ozone Generator will get rid of the smoke and nicotine odors but it would take more than just a few days of running it. More like a week, maybe longer for a space the size of a motor home. Concentrated ozone is a strong odor neutralizer. The trick is to run it long enough to eliminate all of the odor.
A local air conditioning contractor should be able to help you out with one.

RE: Best, cheap Insurance
the way I found to be best is to list the coverages you want, then e mail it to 5 or 6 different companies. Let them compete for your business. It helps if you haven,t had any claims in several years and a good driving record.

RE: Travel in windy conditions
I drove from North Florida to North Georgia last week in a 30 mile head wind and it cost me 20% loss in gas mileage but the RV handled fine.

RE: Using Weber 120 with RV Propoane
It seems propane really confuses some people. LP actually stands for Liquid Propane not Low pressure. The extend a stay installs between the shut off valve and the regulator on the on board tank. When connecting the grill the hose simply feeds from the on board tank to the regulator on the grill but this is not low pressure gas, it is tank pressure, maybe 120 psi on a hot day. The only "low pressure" is after a regulator around 11.3 psi.

RE: My wife can't decide, Please Help
There you have it, about 50-50. I've had both and the booth works better for us because of the extra storage and sleeping space but have to admit the table functions better for eating. Put the leaf in, pull it from the wall and its great for playing cards too. Only once, in a panic stop, the table took a tumble.

RE: AC on while driving question
We seldom use the AC when traveling...mostly because we travel in moderate weather the majority of time. But yesterday we overstayed our "moderate" stay in Pam Springs and had to travel in 100+ temps. Can't remember ever doing that in the past 8 years of fulltiming.
Point: All we used was the dash AC and it was perfectly comfortable. Even when we did a roadside stop for a couple minutes or so. Our MH is only 36' long so maybe that has something to do with it and its a DP which puts much of the engine heat behind us.
Do most people have to use the rooftop ACs to keep cool in hot weather?
I don't use the house air, only the dash and it does a fine job. Even on a 100 degree day.

RE: Towing... what is the cost????
I really see no difference in mileage if I tow or not. Maybe 1/2 MPG loss in the worst case. Poor mileage is just part of Class A life.

RE: fuel economy
I have a V-10. That being said, it makes no difference for me. Tanks full, tanks empty, fast, slow, windy or not not windy. 6.5 to 7.0 MPG. Go figure? It is what it is, so I just live with it.

RE: pd9260 or pd9245 or????????
The 9260 would be the replacement for the 9055. For 25 dollars would you even consider the smaller converter? Personally, I wouldn't.

RE: New dash fan location recommends
Mine are more center, hanging under the TV. I could really do without them though since my defroster does a really good job.

RE: Replacing leaking rubber roof with PVC roof
The price seams fair since its a lot of work and the material is probably 25% of the job. I don't know much about PVC though. Rubber and TPO is all I've had and I like the ease of maintaining the TPO but my rubber roof was 14 years old and in great shape when I sold the coach. Maybe the PVC will be low maintenance too.Good luck with it.
