I thought this study was interesting and applicable to motorcoaches.

http://www.bridgestonetrucktires.com/us_...-speed.asp

Jim at Newell says the cranking amps for new house/engine batteries should be 1750.
I can get 1750 cranking amps from Interstate Battery for 183.00 each, or 1450, OR 1380 cranking amps from Electro Battery for 160.95 and 134.95 respectively.
Which would you choose?
My current batteries have gone near dead from sitting, I'm just getting service installed to hook up.
Will the old batteries come back to life or should I replace?
Any help?.

hi all,

michael and i have a request to you all.

we would like to have a sampling of coach model year, length, slides or not and how many and a picture of your vin tag (or info off of it) and what your coach weighed at a weigh scale by axle or wheel. also how was your coach loaded when you weighed it. like was it full of fuel and water and your personal stuff, etc. was the waste tank empty?

is you scroll down to my post you can see what we would like. the vin and weigh ticket. if not that, then the data off of it.

just reply to this post with the info and we will collate it once we get some data.

thanks!

Well a whole lot of rain finally did me in".. We are stuck at the campsite at Texas motor speedway.. Tow truck on its way

The sunshade on the copilot side has failed, will not stay up.

1. Does anyone know who made these?
2. What do I need to disassemble to get to the wires or is there a connection in the shade that will allow me to disconnect them?
3. Any suggestions on replacements if I were to replace both pilot and copilot?

Thanks

in an all electric coach, can you have the lights, fridge, av gear, charger and one air conditioner running?

and have the water pump come on once in a while?

i am not near my coach to try it.

I have received my VMS cables and stuff and have downloaded it on my lap top with no problem. I would like to download the program on an Android tablet but says not compatible. I noticed a lot of you are using Nexus 7, which is Android. How did you download the program?

The fan over the shower wouldn't come, then I noticed there was a light rain. Ok, must have a rain sensor? Next day I tried it and it worked just fine, next day wouldn't work, no rain. Latter it came on by itself and now won't work at all. Suggestions?

13 Newell's in the drivers parking lot and I have seen at least 4 more around the camp grounds... Not too bad
