RE: Darn - finally got some bad fuel.
Totally agree on changing the filters now. It solves 2 problems. 1) it removes any dirt and water you've accumulated so far and 2) gives you a look at your fuel to see if it's truly contaminated.
Do you have a WIF (water in fuel) filter? If so, check and see if you've got water in the collector/filter. Drain about a pint and take a look.

RE: looking at this and need help!
The ISB in this coach may be one of the 53's that Cummins produced at a Brazilian factory.

RE: Valve stem extenders
He's saying that he posted a response on the Winnebago forum that I also belong to and the extenders I am asking about are Original Equipment on his coach.
On the other forum, he also said he's never had any problems with the polymer extensions, but did buy a back up pair.
I ordered a pair for my coach at a cost of about $4 each. A lot cheaper than the metal ones which were about $8 each.

Valve stem extenders
I've used valve stem extenders forever, but they have always been steel or chrome plated brass or some kind of metal.
However, a trip to the Haldec website introduced me to new polymer extenders specifically designed for light weight, high vibration use.
Anyone have any experience with these?

RE: Is living in a Motorhome F/T for 1 - 2 yrs realistic?
Interesting....we fulltimed in the DC area a few years ago. And DC is not RV friendly so we learned alot about full timing with limited resources.
You can park anywhere that's 1) legal to park 2) has the facilities you need eg. water, sewer, electric and 3) won't cost you an arm and a leg to park there. We've never stayed on public land, but the same thoughts apply. You'll need water, sewer, electric (which you can make on your own) and permission. All of which you can get on BLM lands I'm told. Most of the people going to Quarzite stay on BLM lands with the same requirements.
We stayed at a regular campground south of DC that had a monthly 'resident' rate. Then we found a mobile home park that allowed RVs for half of the campgrounds' rate. Both places had WIFI, elec, water, sewer.
We chose our RV because we knew we wanted to full time. It was a diesel pusher with plenty of basement storage (you can't have too much), 2 interior full sized closets (hard to find those) and was 40' long with 2 slides.
A single person could get by with smaller parameters, but we wanted to be comfortable. And since you're building a home anyway, living small would work for you.
You're about to start an exciting adventure. I'm a bit envious. Good luck.
