Thanks for the input guys, I'll ask my service tech if there is anything  he can recommend. When I get to GNR I will give out my site location, somewhere in section C-50, feel free to stop by for something cold to drink.

Seems like yesterday I bought a new 2012 Tour and was asking for advice from this forum.  I now have a 4year old coach and still need advice. The coach has been babied, kept indoors when not in use, oiled and lubed on schedule, waxed twice a year, factory maintenance twice (never let a dealer...

We use ours constantly, never a problem and it does a great job.  How can you possibly go camping without one?

A couple of months ago I read that Winnie dumped, retired?, their CEO Randy Potts, then recently they added a 45? Tour to their product line, now they have bought what remained of Country Coach.  WOW.  Looks like Winnebago is going to seriously get into the hi-end coach world.  They are going to...

Search Schwintek in the Winnebago section of this form , there have been many problems and much grief reported.

We have a full wall slide, love it.  Makes the interior look so spacious, removes the choke point created by 3-4 slide units.  Modern magnetic material in the drive motors save weight and are more than powerful enough to do the job. The slide is computer controlled to prevent slide from coming...

Were the new batteries the exact size dimension as the ones they replaced?

I think the class has been given either before or after the annual WIT rally in Forest City?  If you plan on attending next years rally, you mite want to check and see if the class is being offered.  John probably knows.

GREAT CLASS.  Mike is a fabulous instructor, I even talked the wife into attending.  Also, while attending class had the Freightliner factory techs go over the chassis, it was new when we attended in 2012, looking for any potential problems, had them weigh each wheel, etc.  Highly recommended. 

Kevin - where was the loose electrical connection located?  Can it be accessed easily?  If ever I have a washer problem, that's the first thing I'll check. Great documentation job by the way, your effort proves to me that if my washer does need to be yanked, I'll call in the pros.  :)

Kevin, looks to me like justification for 2016 Tour.  :)

When I attended Freightliners class in Gaffney the instructor taught if you look back in history at the gas vs. diesel price difference, you will find either one is more expensive about 50% of the time.

Road Mate DVR  L-640 comes without memory card, bought 32 gig card from vendor at FMCA, total price about $125

Driving on 395 south of Carson City, in a very congested area, a Semi came up along my right side, drifted into me and grazed my right rear view mirror knocking it out of alignment, I HAVE IT ALL ON VIDEO.  I bought one those cheap little video cameras you mount on your windshield looking...

At one point in my life I had a sal****er aquarium, had to make my own filtered water before adding the salt mixture, reverse osmosis, etc, the stuff was very, very pure checked carefully with a TDS meter. This ultra-pure water is undrinkable, but was totally safe, needed some of the filtered...
