Had a 36' Itasca that was great except when you were living in it for about 3-4 mo per yr. Now a 2009 43' bus, what's not to love about all the room you need! a king size bed, unlimited hot water in a full size shower, plenty of power pulling grades up a mountain pass, a power glide chassis, a...

I think Rich and Dutch are right on the money here! (hello Rich, hope all is well with you guys) Usually there is a loom on the passenger side of the genset that has a large loop in the wiring with the connector at the bottom of the loop so it collects rain water etc. Pull the connector apart...

remember you don't always have a learn switch on every shade. All the shade comes with is two wires that have spade connectors on the end, usually on the right side tucked up behind the valance. You should be able to get up there and reach around to find them without any disassembly pretty...

Nice rig Sarge, welcome to the Allegro family! It's really great being able to call the OEM # and actually speak to a tech that works on these. We absolutely love ours.

On the outer tire fill I just had them turned parallel to the mh (not directly out) to make it easier to check air and install my TPMS sensors. On the inner tire fill just order a 2" or 3" extension and screw it on. Use a little pipe dope on the extension and snug it down. Remember to only screw...

I had to replace a slide gearbox/motor combo on a FW in Aug and the seller I used from ebay was rvgod. Here is a page link to give you a start: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162077426737 which was looking for a SLIDE-OUT MOTOR POWERGEAR Part #523725 ***Replaces 521066*** They are not cheap but it...

When I had the 36' Itasca I would go anywhere that had the best price. Now I admit I do look for the truck stop and use the truck lanes when it gets towards mid afternoon. Simply easier and I do it just like the truckers. Go inside to get my good Sam discount, then use my cash rewards card to...

Can't help much on the cell boosters, haven't had much luck with the one I tried. I don't trust the cell monitoring devices I've looked at and don't like the cost either. Not sure of your rig or situation but I prefer to control from within. I have multiple roof exhaust fans that are temp...

Thank you guys for those tips. I will be adding them for our next adventure! Hopefully it will be 2017 for our Tx trip.

Not sure of comparison pricing but here is a 4 tire system for $269. You will probably need the external antenna booster as other have said also. http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-wheel-covers/nvision-tpms-92-3010.htm

Well, after all the planning the weather had the last laugh so we must wait another year on our TX adventures! We stayed in AZ for the entire 2 months as Houston was flooded and the weather just wouldn't give us a break, oh well. We ended up exploring AZ and had a blast anyways, even found...

Not sure if you have an Onan genset in your rig but if so you can get the auto start feature. It will automatically start your genset if your batteries reach a low limit set point or if the inside of the coach reaches a high limit temp set point. It starts the genset and then the AC comes on if...

Lots of good info here and all the reasons I haven't upgraded are covered. I'm filing this one, thanks.

Not sure if you are trying to compare brands or just whether it is a good idea to use beads so I'll give you my 2 cents regarding the larger sizes (22.5's or 1200x20's, etc). First don't use powder, always beads or nothing at all. Their are a couple shops that will actually spin these but they...

More GPM is almost always good. Each faucet/shower will take 2.5 gpm +- if all is good so unless you are always by yourself higher flow equals better showers etc. If you want to conserve water just don't turn on the tap so far, etc. If you are by yourself you can get by with an OEM cheap one at...
