RE: Cummins ISB 6.7 340 HP crankcase pressure sensor
Worst case of a high pressure in the crank case I have heard of was caused by blow by at the valve stems and cylinder liners. The real cause was that the engine was "dusted" due to not securing the air intake and air got into the engine with out going through the air filter. Dust "sanded" and increased all the tolerances causing pressure in the crank case. The dirty air also "ate up" the turbo blades. This was on a brand new coach that came from the factory with the loose air intake hose. A big problem that no one wanted to stand behind as it was a "maintenance issue". It was finally resolved and fixed but was a real mess. Suggest you do whatever you must to get the problem identified and resolved. The bill to fix the one I know about was about $30,000.

RE: Lighted assist handle
Have a friend that went to a hobby store and bought a round solid rod of plastic or poly. He heated a piece and bent to match the existing fit. Had material to make it several more times.

RE: Passport America Camping Directory
I have had to call nearly every year to get one. I am always told they want to make sure their multiple year members get theirs and always send it right away. But still have to call every year. I think not a coincidence.

RE: Heating problems with Damon Ultrasport
rear radiator?. If so can you can bet it needs cleaning. You can spray it good with simple green and spray water from a hose. I had to do my rear radiator several times to get it cleaner. Not sure I ever got it really clean. Mine was a cat and a cat service center pressure sprayed it. Really have to know what you are doing so it does not bend the fins on the coils with that pressure so usually not recommended that an owner take this approach.

RE: leveling and slide out
I think the Winnebago "book" says to level first. Not all manufacturers call for the same procedure. Do it like the manufacturer book says.

RE: Tire pressure readings using a TPMS
I make sure that the pressure is where it should be when I start out each day. If the alarm does not sound due to temperature being to high, too fast of a change in pressure, or low pressure I don't mess with it. Sometimes too much information will make one a little paranoid.

RE: Supplemental Brake Dilema
I have used the same BB for about 100K miles. It has been back to the factory once to fix an air leak. What happened can be caused by either of two things. The break away switch can malfunction causing what happened. 9Happened to a friend twice so I do not use the break away and I check things a lot. The other reason could be that the toad brakes were not pimped enough to relieve all the Vacuum from the vehicle brake system. Not sure I've explained the second reason correctly, but make sure you pump the brakes enough times after the engine has been turned off before you tow it.

RE: FMCA Michelin Advantage Program Seattle / Tacoma Areas
The web site lists the truck tire dealers that participate. I just bought 4 rear tires. Several dealers told me they participated in the program when in fact they did not. Only thing to watch for is make sure you are not paying for something twice. Michelin charges your card for the tires and every state tax, fee, etc, including "environmental fees". The dealer also charged me an "environmental fee" and said it included his cost to haul the tires to the landfill. In short the dealer can charge anything he wants for "local" charges. I am sure I paid $32 too much as the explanation for the second set of state environmental fees changed over two days discussion. Saved between $400 and $600 so never argued over the $32.

RE: Overnight in Santa Rosa, NM
There is a motel in the middle of town on Rt 54 that has maybe 20 RV spots next to it. Hard to call it an RV park but has full hook ups, level spots, easy in and out, and is safe.

RE: LP Gas Odor question
I had a faint LP smell, on and off, for about a year. Found there was a leak at the threads where the valve screws into the tank. A technician where I buy propane discovered the source and attempted to repair. Could not do it and had to get a new tank. I would have a "propane" guy with a leak tester run down the source if I could not find it myself.
