RE: Looking for new insurance
About five weeks ago I had an inside dual blow out while about 70 miles from home in the central valley of California about 15 miles from the nearest small town. .
I called CSAA and two tow trucks showed up within about a half hour. The small one replaced the tire with a new Michelin XRV which is what I requested and then the BIG tow truck towed my coach to Fresno (about 70 miles)and dropped it by the dealer.
I had to pay the two tow trucks a total of about $1,866. CSAA reimbursed me completely, minus the cost of the new tire.
Next came the repair of the muffler system and entire wiring harness for all the controls in the RV which got ripped out when the tire exploded. The local Workhorse dealer estimated 70 hours of repair and CSAA already sent them a check for about $10,400 to cover all the repairs.
You never know what an insurance company is going to do until you have a claim.
I couldn't be happier!!! So I'd recommend CSAA. I don't know what the premium is and I don't care. They've earned my business.

RE: Driving with air conditioner
We do it a lot. California, Nevada, Arizona can be over a 100 degrees and the house air is great.
I will almost always turn off the dash air as that helps the engine to run cooler.

RE: towing 77 miles
I just had my 38' coach towed 70 miles three weeks ago.
It was $1866.
Of course that included replacing a blown inside dual 22.5 tire.
CSAA RV Insurance covered everything except the new tire that had to be installed. I was on my way to the shop that had 4 new tires waiting for me.
They wouldn't put it on a flat bed because it wouldn't clear the bridges.

You might one of the above cars so history doesn't repeat itself.

RE: Oil Filters
tropical36.....I'm certainly not an oil filter expert, but sometimes internal design or specs may be different from one to another as to how they flow under hard use. Maybe someone who has investigated them more thoroughly will jump in.
I figure GM investigated the matter thoroughly and that's why I buy PF454 filters at the local Chevrolet dealer.

RE: tow car value
I sold my Miata that was setup to tow and the guy who bought it was going to tow it too, so it was an advantage for me.

RE: Sometimes you just gotta wonder
110 volt power monitor
We keep one of these plugged into a kitchen outlet and check every time when we hook up.
If it's way down in the red zone we won't run air conditioning.
Low voltage can destroy your air conditioner.

RE: Flat Spotting NEW Front Tires.. Question...
If it ground off enough of the tread to make a loud thumping then I would think you are probably pretty close to having a blowout at the weak thin spot.

RE: RV park on the water near Ft Lauderdale
chezhead....thanks for the suggestion. The people we are going to visit are in Sunrise just a couple miles away so this would work.
But I'd still like to see if there are any ocean sites.

RE: Battery
Two six volt batteries.
Costco or Sam's club have good prices and are located everywhere in case of problems.

RE: House battery recommendations
I put a 12 volt AGM battery in a Miata I had. It lasted about three years. That's been my only experience with them and I may have gotten a bad one by chance.
So for you people who have put AGM batteries in....how long have yours been lasting?

RE: Spartan Chassis Wandering?
Three free things to try before an alignment.
1. 120 lb tire pressure sounds very high. You need to weigh your coach and set the trie pressure according the the tire makers chart. For example my Michelins are set to 90 lb. excessive tire pressure will cause steering problems.
2. Slow down. Run at 55 and see how it handles.
3. Try driving it when there is no wind.
Do the front tires appear to have any cupping or unusual wear on them? If so then alignment could certainly be an issue.

RE: Michelin Tires
Had a Michelin blowout three days ago. So far $1,800 in towing charges and 20 hours labor estimated for collateral damage.
Have your salesman call me.
I don't think I would trust that man.
