    Goshen rally wash & wax

    Was away from the rv, when I return, they were all over the coach wash and debugging it. I ask what they were doing since I hadn't ordered the service. After checking their list,they were to be at 222 instead of 322.

    “Solo Cup” Frozen Margaritas

    New guy on forum, ford diesel tech

    I wonder how many of the old Ford/Mercury mechanics remember installing TKF-1's (tune up kit in a sealed can)? The newer generation always had to find an old timer to see what you set the dwell on points at. Spent 31 glorious years sell Ford parts. Don K

    Fulltiming with a Big Country?

    Re: full timing If your happy with what you've got, KEEP IT! Sounds like the bugs are worked out of it. If you travel to the South, you will probably want dual A/C's installed, if you haven't already. Make sure you don't have TowMax tires on it. I also am planning on using our Elkridge...

    Pulled the string, getting new Michelins today!

    You won't regret installing these tires. I went with the AT's instead of the MS's just because I wanted "bite" in mud, snow, and wet grass. The smoothest riding tire on the market. I replaced a set of General's that left a dent on the bed side panel like the TowMax do. These blasted tires were...

    Maxxis tires

    Had excellent success with Maxxis. They came standard on our Holiday Rambler and were on for 5 years, no problems. Trade my TowMax for Maxxis from Discount Tire. They had the cheapest price at that time. Don

    Kris Willis RV at Dexter, MO. has one on his lot, with extensive photos of it on his web site. Thinking about driving down to see it in person. Beautiful furniture and trim. Looks like Heartland did their homework well.

    I wonder how many Ford owners . . .

    Proud of the Ford dealers. Things sure have gotten better since I retired from my old dealer back in 2000. Sure remember the 1980 Ford vehicles, and they had to bring out the Quality 1 program in 1981.

    Delivery Time

    Superduty08 I wish your selling dealer would do like ours in Southern Illinois. They have a driver that will make 3 trips per week to pull special ordered units back to the dealership. He will go up one day, stay overnight, and drive back the next. Just part of service to their customers. We...

    Double Pane -- good idea?

    My Ford 6.0 pulling a 29 ft fifth wheel getting 13.5 mpg, dropped to 10.0 mpg pulling our new 38 ft fifth wheel. Never weighed either trailer. I know that I have lots more weight hanging back there now, but expected the results.

    Ice Storm Power Outages

    JohnDar, Would you mind saying what brand generator you decided on? Natural gas/LP gas is the only way to go for fresh fuel. Here in southern Illinois we are blessed with ice during winter, and wind storms in warmer weather.

    Powermax TowMax tires

    I would make the dealer trade them out as part of the deal. Sales people will tell you anything to keep from loosing a deal, or cutting into their profit margin. Just put on 5 new Maxxis M8008 purchased from Discount Tire with free shipping and gave the old tow max to a farmer to use on his...
