    Question about selling coach

    Unfortunately, age creeps up on all of us and I am forced to sell my Holiday Rambler Endeavor. Does anyone have any suggestions about the best sales outlet or technique? Thanks. I know this is a bit off subject but any suggestions will be appreciated

    Pilot RV Service

    I notice that Pilot stations are starting to install rv islands, possibly taking a clue from Flying J now that they own that facility.  Are all of the Pilot facilities doing this?

    Leaking Valve Stems?

    Use a spray bottle with soapy water to see where they are leaking. If necessary, go to the nearest tire dealer that services large vehicles, busses, trucks, etc and have them remove the POS rubber extensions and install stainless steel ones. If they don't have what is necessary they should be...

    How many use deisel additives and how frequently?

    Gary, I suppose this discussion could go on forever without reaching a consensus. Different strokes for different folks. As far as fuel at the pump is concerned, yes, they are supposed to add lubrication but, it depends on where it comes from and how it got there. I am sad to say that I don't...

    How many use deisel additives and how frequently?

    Late comment. Sulpher in the diesel fuel provided needed lubrication in the past. The sulpher has been removed. Additives restore lubrication, some better than others. What's so hard to understand about that?

    Radiator drain

    There is a petcock way back by the transmission in what I presume is a heater hose. Is that there to drain the coolant system? If so, I don't see how all of the coolant can get out of the radiator. It will be a pain to get the 13 yr old bottom radiator hose off and it will probably ruin it but...

    Allison Economy Mode

    When the red indicator light is "on" after the Economy mode button is pressed, is that indicating that the economy mode is engaged or is it warning you that the economy mode is NOT engaged. I once asked an Allison service rep that question and he said to not worry about it, that a lot of RV...

    Coolant quantity

    Thanks, I'm taking the coach in tomorrow about another issue and I'll talk to the service manager. He is definitely an asset and cooperative in every way ( Yancey Bros in Columbus, GA.) They are going to replace the seals in one of my Power Gear jacks. When I asked him if he could do that type...

    Coolant quantity

    I have a 2000 Holiday Rambler Endeavor/Freightliner/Cat 3126 with hot water augment(?) Can anyone tell me the total coolant capacity? The Cat literature says the engine holds 9 gallons. Does that include the radiator on my rear radiator installation? Also, I'm sure there is a bunch circulating...

    Engine immersion heater

    Can anybody tell me where to buy a Kim's Hotstart TL101-000 engine block heater? You can go to the Hotstart web page and they are very helpful about which part to buy but they don't offer any option to order one and they don't offer much info about who might sell them. A web search mostly turns...

    Fuel filter

    What's the number of the filter you are replacing? If you need an Alliance filter, Freightliner in Gaffney, SC will send you all you want.

    Fuel filter

    LOL, such confusion. Read my previous posts(Fuel filters, AGAIN) and the comments I got about fuel filters. BTW, the rating of the Racor fuel filter (3201) is designated by the last letter. S, P, etc. I forget what they are. Some engines, Catapillar anyway, have a 2 micron filter on the engine...
