I have to believe also that the emission additions caused the break down in the MPG as well.  I'm sure as we get more technology improvements out, someone will design a chip that will increase the gas mileage. I know there are already a few chips out there, but I'm waiting for them to perfect...

From first hand experience, I own a 2007 6.7 Cummins and I'm getting about 13.7. Disclaimer: I only have about 6K miles on it, and most 85% is starting and driving it 5 miles to work and back. Also the 13.7 is the readout on the overhead computer, hand calculated I'm averaging about 10% less...

I know it's been said, but I'll reiterate what others have said. I had a Nice cover for my last two RVs (5th Whl and MH). I have come to the conclusion that I will not use one again, and choose to use a nice buffer and a can/bottle of wax.  I didn't have a problem getting the cover on and off...

Hey just for giggles I'll throw in: I've not read all the data and charts for the filters, nor done any side by side analysis one over the other. The only thing I've done is used the K&N repeatedly in a wide variety of vehicles. I started using the K&N in my ATV's that I raced at our sand...

I'll go against the grain with RV Roamer on this one, only because I seem to be a owner of one of those delaminated products from the 90's (95 to be exact). I have a 95 Coachmen, as my entry into the world of MH, and there are 2 places on the left side of the coach that have the fiberglass...

I know some may see it as a myth, and maybe it depends on number of mice or type of rodent, but we have been using bounce sheets in our MH for 3 years now with incredible success. Granted our MH is parked on an RV pad next to our home in a very suburban neighborhood. After the MH's first winter...

I thought I would chime in since I've recently installed the Banks Stinger system on my 96 454. The stinger only includes the exhaust and mufller from the headers back as well as the cold air ram induction and it ran me $900. There was only a slight increase in performance going from the Stinger...

idive, Believe me I considered the option of changing out the TV as one of the first steps. However, the TV I am powering is built in to the overhead compartment of my class A, and I was having a challlenge finding one with the same or similar dimensions, that would not require me doing a lot...

Well Sparky, Here are two suggestions, one is a little more costly but less work, the other is more work, but since you have all the materials, might be a better route. The first option would be to purchase a bike rack that slips into a 2" receiver.  You could take a 6" x 4" plate and wield...

I haven't built one myself, but I am always trying to design new ideas that fit a specific need. Before I could offer any advise, I would have to know a couple of things. First, what kind of bumper will you be attaching it to? By the pic on your post, it looks like it might be a TT, which I...

First of all, John, I couldn't agree more. The information here is invaluable, and I appreciate every single reply and ounce of advise. Believe me, I would not know where I would be without all the knowledge I have gotten here and when ever the chance arises where I might know something someone...

Sorry for being so liberal with my wording, based on the technical nature of the advice I've been given, I should have guessed Type A Engineering personalities. Which, I'm not knocking in the least bit. I'm not an electrical expert, but plan to be after this adventure. At any rate, I would have...

Team, Once again I come to the experts to get opinions on yet another topic. I realize this topic is somewhat subjective, but I also find that experience is a great indicator of recommendation. I've been a member of Good Sam for the past 3 years. Knock on wood, I've Never had to use the...

Update on progress. RV Roamer, to answer your question I have 2 deep cell 750 AMP marine batterries in parallel. After I filled them with water and left them on a trickle charge overnight (2amp), I had fully charged batteries. So before putting them back in the MH, I connected them together...

Rolf, Thanks for the tips on charging, I'm hoping the batteries come back to life, I'll search for your topic to make sure I've got everything covered. As for the ventilation in the compartment, I've thought of a couple of ideas, where I can isolate the ventilation. The basement compartment...
