RE: Replacing Manual Awning with Power Awning
We have the Colorado Carefree Eclipse, Electric awning, not the automatic one. Had manual ones before, never again. With the Carefree at the push of a button the DW can open it or close it if she wants. It has 6 positions on both arms that you can set from flat out to about a 2’ drop at the roller tube. It will also dip one end to dump rain if it starts to pool. The thing I like about the Carefree is I don’t walk in to the arms or smack my head on them any more.
I was taking a seminar at a rally this spring with a tech from Carefree. He stated that the Eclipse was rated to withstand wind of up to 70 mph! At that time the wind came up as if on queue and the awning billowed up and popped back in place and he stood there and smiled and said that is just what it was designed to do. He said that while it was designed to work that way you would probably not want to listen to it pop in and out. Next coach will have to have a Carefree, deal breaker.

RE: Acc switch
Is it ACC or ICC, the ICC would be to flash a thank you with the rear lights when the driver you pass thinks you have room to pull back to the right lane. Just like the BIG trucks do.

RE: Fuel Filter,s
The primary should be on the left, but a better way to tell is the primary will have a black or clear cap on the bottom part of the filter and will have a thumb wheel on the bottom of the filter cap. You turn the wheel to open and drain, catch the fuel in a glass jar and after it settles if there is any water you will be able to see it on the bottom. A good idea is to carry a spare primary.
Another great resource for help in do it yourself repairs and maintenance is the Ramblin’ Pushers Chapter 419 of the Holiday Rambler Recreational Vehicle Club. Chapter 419 is chartered as a special interest chapter under HRRVC with the purpose of educating and exchanging information on Holiday Rambler diesel motor home operation and maintenance. The site is http://ramblinpushers.org ; they also have a Yahoo Ramblin’ PushersChapter 419 E-Group you can join.

RE: Progressive Ins.?
Tony that $200 you saved belongs to RedFox11 so just drop the check in the mail and we'll forget about the little mistake that the insurance company made in sending it to you. :B
John
I like your way of thinking Dreamweaver, now if we can get some more money coming this way I will split it with you 60/40..

RE: Holiday Rambler (Monaco) Door Latch Arm Question
I just tune up the arm on my door with 2 pairs of channel locks, a little tweaking and it is good as new. Monaco tech at the HR Diesel Pusher rally showed me how to do it.

RE: full timers from michigan please
We were from Michigan, now we just visit.
We have been fulltimers with My Dakota Address now for over 2 years. They also have all the contacts and are across the street to all the things you may need to set "housekeeping" in SD. One call to Terri Lund and she can start setting you up in SD. She will have all the paper work filled out for your signature and send it to you or have it ready when you stop by to have your driver license picture taken.

RE: air system on DP losing pressure
Freightliner was using a quick disconnect system on their air lines, I had one on my 04 Coachman that popped off when I had to hit the brakes real hard, (emergency brake!) one time, talk about a fun few minutes!! We where near Freightliner shop in Ohio, the repair man just plugged it back in, took longer to do the paper work than the job.

RE: 2009 Dutch Star/ 2009 HR Endeavor
If it seems like a little problem now!!!
Any problem you have with any coach now will only seem to get more aggravating as time goes on. Don't buy any coach that has problems you think you "can learn to live with'.
Both are good manufactures and all RV Companies are having to adjust by downsizing their work force. If they say they are not changing for market demand they are BS'ing somebody! Times are tough across the board except for maybe the millon $$ plus coach's, but they are usally made to order!

RE: Quartzite BLM Camping
People come over the whole winter month's, some stay a few day's some week's other stay for month's. They all don't arrive the same day. There are a number of kiosks in different directions from town. Also the 150k number is more of an estimated over the winter number. Last winters numbers where way down, anywhere from 20 to 45% (estimated). mainly do to factors like fuel prices, the BLM now charging to park there and to the rip off prices that many(not all)of the places's in town charge! Rumors are that many are now going to 'The Slabs" in CA.

RE: Motor Homes with numbers printed on the end caps?
We belong to the HRRVC club (Holiday Rambler Recreational Vehicle Club), We have our numbers on the F/R caps, it helps when we go to an HRRVC rally and the vendors come to your coach to do work or make repairs that they easily find and know they have to right coach in a sea of similar looking rigs. Also as stated you can look up an owners name of a rig you find in a campground and introduce yourself and know that you have things in common. The members keep the same number for life and put the same number on the next coach they buy! FMCA has numbers molded in a plate for F/R of MH.

RE: Traveling with grandangels in MH
We just use the lap belts for our Granddaughters when they go with us. I would invest in a portable DVD player that you can set across from them, then let Sponge-Bob Square Pants make the trip not so long for them. Of course you may go a little stir crazy;),, " Are you ready Kids":B:B...

RE: Have Chosen SD as Resident State: Who do you like for mail?
We have been with My Dakota Address for two years now, Run by Terri Lund she has been great to work with. One thing we like is the daily email she sends listing the mail she has received, You can tell her to 'save it' 'toss it' hold or send it to you. Another thing we like about her service is if she receives something you feel you need to see ASAP she will scan it and email it to you same day. She will also prepare all the paper work for you to just sign to become a SD resident(driver lic.,plates and Voter card). Also she has many contacts to help you with Lawyers, Ins., if you have the need.
