Just started full timeing. Purchased #372 about two years ago. Have done maintance over the two years and now the acreage and many belongings have been sold. My question to all of you out there is how much fuel does the Gen consume hourly. Approx?
I wanted to view some additional engine and transmission parameters (in particular the current gear), but did not want to buy something as expensive as a Silverleaf VMSPC. So, I built my own using a few off-the-shelf chips for the interface and using an Android tablet as the display. It works great.
Here is the link to my blog describing the project in detail.
A DIY J1587 Data Scanner
Enjoy.

This weekend when I click on Motorhomes of Texas website, I get a blank page and a notice that the server is in Costa Rica. Don't remember seeing that before. Anyone else having any issues? My computer has been acting up so it could just be my system but I haven't had an issue with any other website.
It was obvious that we were pulling odors from the holding tank into the coach while driving. I did all kinds of looking for obvious leaks and breaches in the system but found nothing.
Then a long ago thread about vacuum breakers came to mind. The vacuum breakers, or air admittance valves are after the P traps on the sinks. Their purpose is prevent the P trap from being sucked dry when dumping the tanks. The theory of the valve is that it only allows air to pass into the holding tank.
As an experiment, I went to all three sinks and taped the openings closed. Voila, no smell in the coach while traveling.
512 has the Max Air vents, not Fantastic Fan, so even with the vent louvers closed, some negative pressure exists in the coach while driving. It was enough to pull air through the dysfunctional vacuum breakers into the coach.

The ONLY 45' Bath and 1/2 Bath non slide Produced!!!! $69,900 PRICED TO SELL NOW!!!! Raised roof, series 60, every Option, and 100% UPDATED 92k miles.
Hello fellow Guru members. This is not a joke. Wife and I made a CRAZY offer on a dream coach we were looking at today and it got accepted. We have 72 hours to get a holding deposit and less than a week to sell it. I personally know of two other 96's that sold for $75k and $77k recently. The price is non-negotiable. It will go on ebay Sunday with the buy it now of $69,900. If you or someone you know is a real buyer, this is the deal of a lifetime!!! I priced it to sell immediately. If we do not get a deposit in hand by Tuesday 8/5/14, the coach will be off the market and if I decided to sell it again, the price will be $20k higher and this post will be deleted. We are saving on the new coach so I don't mind giving this away.
We are currently in Newport Oregon. We can show the coach anytime. Do not let this pass you by. Clear Florida title in hand.
For those of you that are lurkers or wannabe's understand that you will never see a deal like this. Please call me ANYTIME 843-226-3912 IF YOU ARE SERIOUS and have questions. My email is [email protected] Pics on request. I will post renovations, options and maintenance in a few minutes under this post. Please read my previous posts here and on LCL. We are full timers and have spent over $50k updating this coach, driven over 30k miles in two years. All maint, books, extra filters, ect... PRICED TO SELL NOW!!

First, special thanks Tom for the nice welcome. I sure appreciate the thoughtfulness. I just got home the 2500 mile trip in a sedan. I hope never to do it again.
I've slept in my vehicle since 1971. Westphalias (3) and some ski-rigged VWs that slept two. My wife and I whipped a 34' gas Ford with no slides- coast to coast for a few years: 100,000 miles and near worthless to the main stream. We worked in the RV biz for some time and consulted with a few major in the automotive and tech stuff. Soon to be ready to get serious about a coach and resume the road.
I drove four hours yesterday to check out an'86 Newell 40' Detroit w/180k on the chassis and a fresh engine at c. 95k miles. Trans is same date. The coach was built for a Biker named Spencer. I believe Mr. Bob Dunfey also owned the coach. Anyone know this ol' classic dawg? Falling in love.
Once the clear coat is gone, what's a fella to do? That is the question.
Nice to get a chance to learn from others while doing. Thanks, Paul
Coach passed us going e/b on I-44 west of Springfield.
I tried to search for an answer but came up short. I am insured with National Interstate which includes Coach-Net Gold Roadside Package for $89 per year. I recently need the services of a large wrecker and was told that the policy only provides for two hours of service. The two hours was sufficient, but begs the question of what coverage do I have if I need a "low boy" tow for a great distance.
A friend of mine has had good service with a Good Sam Road Protection Policy. I would appreciate advise on which company is the best and provides the most coverage. I expect to pay more than for my present poor policy.
