RE: Water Hose
I am very careful. I hook my garden hose up to my white water hose. Wouldn't want the water to get into my tank without going through the white hose :h

RE: Great, cheap LED lights for your unit
Isn't it amazing that in less than 2 pages of post, it turned into "My dogs better than your dog". Whether its brand of MH, brand of tires, types of oil, now LED lights? :S

RE: Breakdown - how would you handle it
Chances are very good that if you caught the problem immediately, shut the engine down immediately, you would still have the same outcome. If you are towed to a facility, they will have to crank the engine and determine the cause. That will probably do the damage that you would have done trying to get out of harms way. If failure to the engine is happening, just get youself to the safest place and then deal with it.

RE: Tire Question
Everybody has a tale to tell:
My six Michelin Tires were pushing almost 8 years old, only 29,000 miles. I had some cracking on just the front side walls. The other four were just about perfect. I really wanted to get one more year out of these, instead of paying about $3700 for new rubber. I was at my RV dealer when a an RV came in. It was a Tiffin 40 footer with extensive damage. One rear tire blew and took out the whole bottom of the refrigerator and hydrolic lines. The estimate was over $15K. What a mess.
Wouldof, couldof, shouldof, to late after the fact.
My new tires were installed last week...$3,368.00 Better safe than sorry.
PAM4
Well, do you think his insurance paid for the repairs. Insurance covers the risk we take. Otherwise, why carry insurance. If I have a blowout, I hope it totals the MH. Then, I can start anew.:S

RE: Using Pump oil can to install brake fluid
Same system worked for me when I had a 1995 Holiday Rambler with a F-53 chassis.

RE: Toyo Tires
Did you try to call the number I gave you? That I just got 6 toyo's for $2300 thats $383ea Now mine are 245/27.R 22.5 Dont no if theres a big price difference or not? And that was installed.
??? What phone number??? and YES there can be a LOT difference in cost between a 245 and a 295-22.5 tire
Just wondering what the 27.R stands for. I have saw 80 series, 78 series, 70 series, etc. Never saw a 27 series. I have 275/70/R.22.5 on my MH.

RE: Another way to carry a unmounted spare tire
Well, how does he secure it? Tie raps, chains, weld it, super glue?
I get nothing from this post other than confusion.
One could always look under one's MH to see if a spare tire could be mount some place and then use one's imagination as to how one would mount the tire. Maybe duct tape? :h
Bye :)

RE: Tire Question
My 2005 Ambassador has date codes of 1004, and 24,000 miles. I feel as you, concerned about condition. I have decided to rotate the front to the inside rear and inside rear to front. Reason for this is they have to be dismounted from the wheels and I can inspect inside as well as out side. I will also inspect the outside rears when they are removed (probably will not dismount them but will look them over well). If they show signs of cracking or any sign of failure, I will replace them. I also have a TPMS that I use to monitor pressure and temp. A couple of hundred dollars spent for peace of mind is better that spending over $4,000 needlessly. IMHO.

RE: NADA Used RV/Boat Values
I wouldn't trust NADA as far as I could throw the book.
Well , what would you trust? A dealers opinion, or maybe the posters on this Forum. PPL get alot of reccomendations, but, lists nothing about the MH sold except the year, size, and model. It turns out, you can trust nobody but yourself. NADA is a guide. Makes no guarantees but at least gives us something to compare.

RE: TPMS question
I run my front tires at 90 lbs. I set my alarm at 80 lbs. I run my rear tires at 95 lbs. I set my alarm at 85 lbs. I have found a 15 to 20 lbs. increase on a very hot day. I set my high alarm at 25 lbs. above the number I run (115 front and 120 rear). I left my temp. at the default which I think is 156 deg. I have a TST system and have used it for 3 yrs.

RE: Tire pressure versus tire age
After weighing my 05 HR Ambassador and then going to the chart in my owners manual. I found 90 in front and 95 in rear is the reccomended pressures. It rides and handles great with these pressures.

RE: Check Tire Pressure Before Every Trip
I actually check my tires regularly with a gauge, but I thump the tires with my tire billy at every stop along the way.
I know the tire thump isn't accepted by the pros as an accurate means of pressure testing but if a tire is several pounds lower than the rest, you can detect a difference in the sound.
Everyone to what fits their needs, but, I check pressure and thump my tires every 8 seconds with my TPMS. I also keep up with the individual temps of each tire, including my toad.

RE: How Important Is Long Term Care Insurance
rgatijnet1 x2
I've seen nursing homes and I will not be a part of that. When I become a burden on my family, I will also "check out".
I hope both of you have the strength to load the gun and pull the trigger when the time comes :S

Lake Greenwood MH Resort
We just returned from 7 days stay at http://www.canecreekresort.com/ . The Resort is 1st. Class and the price is right. 1st. week is free. No pressure to purchase lots, but that is the purpose of the free offer. Lots of activities. Sunset boat ride, wine and cheese reception, pancake breakfast, amoung other things. They are Motorhomes only. Give them a call if in the area. Management is very friendly. I have no ties to the resort and did not purchase property. Just very satisfied with the facilities and the welcome.

RE: Can't move shift lever out of park.
Sounds like you are putting your MH in park before pushing in the emergency brake. If you do that, it puts pressure on the park gear in the trans, making it hard to get out of park. Try pressing the emergency brake, then put it in park. When you get ready to leave, put the trans. in drive, then release the emergency brake.

RE: for Marcus
This is for Marcus and is a concern to me and I bet others. That is the topic of unexpected problems in RV parks. I have been in a park were they did not tell anyone in their ads that they have high voltage wires running over head in the park and that within 100 yards was a big high voltage substation. I know studies on the effects of high voltage on humans is still out but if I would have known that there was high voltage wires near the campground I would have not stayed. Also, my wife has experience some very bad bullying in one park. How do we cope with these problems? I have been thing of setting up a web page to address these types of problems in RV parks. We have also experenced closed groups in parks (clicks)and bullying. We left one park because I was worrried about my wifes safty and lost 3 weeks of rent. I think we need any advocate for RVers safty in some of these unknown parks. I am not trying to cause problems but I bet this happens to a lot of RVers...THANK YOU
If you stay home, pull your shades, you may avoid all the problems you mentioned. I have been rving for 5 yrs. and have never occurred the things you listed. If I did, it did not bother me. If my wife encountered "Bully", I would handle it myself and very quickly. Manup and you will be okay. :h
