Fuse Location
Friend of mine has a 2000 Newmar Dutch Star DP. Does anyone have an idea where the fuse would be located for the entry steps. They've decided to quit working.:(

RE: Can't Wait For College Football!
Well Bags, I'm sure you know who my favorite team is. It's way to early to come up with any predictions for them, for what they've been thru here the past few months. With the new staff coming in and the recruiting to get back on track it's gonna be a while before they can be competitive again. I hope for them sooner then later but only time will tell. That is a great University that was just handed a big blow but I'm sure they'll bounce back.

RE: Here we go again
I have to say it's much to early for this type of weather to be going on. Sure glad everything turned out OK for you and can only hope it stays that way.

RE: Joe Paterno: 1926-2012
Steve, I never saw Joe Pa smoke in public, but is it possible that he smoked cigarettes privately? I had two very good friends that had lung cancer and both had quit smoking years ago, but it was the chemo therapy that did them in! There is no way I would ever do chemo therapy!!! Never! Bags.
Bags, Don't know if he smoked but I know of a few people that got lung cancer and never did smoke. My friends mom for one. I suppose the the chemo and radiation therapy he had going on took it's tole along with the rest that was going on in his life. Chemo, yeah that's something I probably would put on the back burner as well. Steve

RE: Joe Paterno: 1926-2012
Just woke up and read an article on foxsports.com and the hospital said the cause of death the spreading of his lung cancer! Its just shocking how fast everything happened!
Hi Bags,
My guess is that it was more then just the cancer. After taking the jolt that he took from everything that happened just more or less put an end to him. JMHO

RE: steering and handeling
If it's an 09 I doubt very much it sitting still for a year and a half has anything to do with the way it handles. You say you put new tires on it. Did they inflate the tires to the max? Over inflated tires will make the rig wander. As previously mentioned get it weighed and adjust the tire pressure accordingly. If you are loaded for a trip it might take reloading and balancing the load out differently but that can be determined after the weight check. Ours steers strait as can be. I'm not sawing on the wheel at all it tracks perfect. Now if your getting a swaying effect you just may need a larger swaybar but try some different other things before you start throwing money at it.

RE: Proper way to fill onboard propane tank?
Any time ours have been filled the valve has been opened. I guess he was correct.

RE: Removal of bedroom TV?
I don't have a Dutch Star but first I removed the oak surround. The bottom of the tv had to be tilted up to get passed another piece of wood and slid straight out. It's probably a good idea to have a helper at this point, one keeping the tv tilted, the other with a strong hold on it and pulling it out. Not a lot of room to work with. It was a PITA till I figured out what was going on. Our tv was screwed down onto another piece of plywood that kind of sat in a tray in that cupboard. Hard to describe but we finally got it out. I removed the tv from that piece of plywood and put it back into the cupboard to act as a shelf for items we wanted to now store there. Replaced the oak surround, had a door made for the opening and secured the new flat panel tv to it. Works GREAT!
Does the wood come out with the tv ?
Yes it does. The wood is actually screwed to the tv from the bottom. On mine there was also a strap from the tv to the plywood for extra stabiblity I guess. Or maybe just to create a bigger puzzle as to how it all comes apart.:B

RE: A Parallel between flying and RVing.
If your going up sooner or later you have to come back down. Haven't you ever noticed in looking at your mpg computer the dread of looking down when your putting a strain on the motor and seeing 2mpg being indicated.:E Then on the other hand when the strain is off I've looked down and it shows 72mpg.:B I love that side of the equation.

RE: Removal of bedroom TV?
I guess I forgot to mention removing the oak plug inserts that cover the screws holding the oak surround. What I did was drilled a 1/8" hole in the center of the oak plug, maybe 1/4 deep. Then I inserted a drywall screw enough that it was tight and wiggled the screw head back and forth while pulling with a pair of plyers and the oak plugs came right out.

RE: Do you "overnight" at Flying J's truck parking?
We stay at the J's all the time when we're on the road. To get the rv slots up front you need to get it pretty early. I normally get off the road by 5pm that way I normally won't have any problem getting a spot. I have only once been back with the trucks. Don't like the fact of taking a spot from someone who is working.

RE: Windshield Fans - should I install a set?
Had them in our previous coach and I used them not just for defrosting issues but for circulation when the air was on as well. I always thought they did a great job for us. We have them in this coach as well. They are not visible but are built into the overhead fan distribution. Still use them all the time for circulation and NO they are NOT part of the defrost system.
