    Furnace does not heat

    Pull the end cover off of the heater. You will see the igniter has one or two wires attached to one or two porcilin insulated connectors. If it has two wires, one of the connectors will be a standard 1/4" connector, probably the one on the right. The other is a flat connector but so narrow that...

I just purchased my mh in feb and have yet to take my first trip but I've had two ocassions to talk to hwh. Joe and frank have great personalities and were eager to assist. Being a newbe, I don't know...

    tire reccomendations

    Well, I called myself reading that entire article but obviously not very well. That said, I am ok with replacing all six tires. Next question is what brand to buy?  I've looked on line and found prices from $120 to $400. It is generally my rule to never buy the cheapest widgit on the shelf, I...

    tire reccomendations

    As mentioned in another thread, my remodeling is coming along and I'm turning my attention to maintenance items like replacing the busted air bag on the right front (actually I'm replacing both air bags and both coil springs), servicing the generator and so on.  Prompted by another thread here...

    Louisville, KY Looking for suggestions

    Will stay in Louisville if necessary, was hoping to find something north, even southern Ohio which is just a few minutes north of Campbell.  I'm a newbe and probably not ready to expose my ignorance to the large group that will probably be in Louisville that week.  Going to be there April 14th...

    STAPLES!

    Back in 1989 there was a new employee that was hired on at Coachmen.  His forman, a busy man with many demands on him, takes the new employee out to help build his first motorhome.  Now the employee, being a green hand, had to start somewhere so the forman hands him a stapler and starts to...

    New GPS Needed

    Not sure you would call it MC friendly because it is a little difficult to use with gloves but I have a Marine type Garmin 378 mounted on my wing.  It pumps turn by turn directions into my headset as well as XM radio.  I also get nexrad images from the xm satalite updated about every 5 minutes. ...

    Allure floor covering

    Per several reccomendations that I've seen here on the forum, my wife picked out and purchased the Allure floor covering for our remodel project.  The Allure is a "floating floor", of course the manufacturer is expecting you to install that in a stationary home.  I've looked thru the forums and...

    just a thought

    You'll just have to fling the insults at yourself.  As I said, I ride a wing but there's nothing wrong with a Harley.  As a matter of fact, I read somewhere just the other day that 85% of the Harleys that were ever made are still on the road today..........the other 15% made it home  ;D  Ride...

    Stale Water

    I guess it's time to ask my first newbe question.  The new to me RV that I just purchased had been setting parked for 3 years before I drove it home 150 miles and  parked it in my shop. Everything works, ac, furnace, frig, etc but I've yet to check out the plumbing due to the cool temps.  My...

    just a thought

    I have to say, this post disapponts me. If you read my recent introduction, you are aware that I'm a bike rider. If you know bikers, you know that there are two groups of bikers. There are the Harley riders then there is everybody else. Personally I ride a wing, and there is always words tossed...

    Hello from a new member and a new RV'er

    Howdy folks. I am new to the forum and new to RV's.  My wife and I have been tent campers for many years but we're  getting older so we decided that instead of pulling a trailer full of camping gear behind our bike, we'd get a motorhome and pull the bike behind it.  Of course we're poor folks...
