End of June just seems so far away. Ron Skeen continues to suggest I point it that way.
Not Sure about Tuga, but he has another wedding to fulfill. Not sure of the date.
Karen and his last big trip, like Connie and I, was up that direction. I don't even like going to the walmart in the same route. I'll take a look at the maps and see what shakes out...
Thanks All!
I know it would be FUN.
See All You Can!

I also found an old/new style Dometic a/c circuit board if anybody wants it to test and fix (this is for the new thermostats). And I'll be bringing up a Demco Aluminator towbar if anybody needs one?
Cindy and I may be persuaded to cook a gumbo....
Forrest those are pretty straightforward to do. We had awnings on every window but no patio awning. So we bought a Zipdee 23' and installed it. Course I say it was easy now but watch it fall off in front of all of these pros in Spearfish. Yikes. It will be great to have all of these guys there to actually see my coach and give me advice and maybe a hand with fixing it up.

Hey Forest......we installed an extra window awning back in 2009, so i have a little experience. The written directions they provide are very adequate......as long as you read them, and for a change I did read them thoroughly several times. When you're drilling holes in "your baby" you want to sure every hole is necessary, and where it is supposed to be. Everything was measured 5 times over to be sure. Will be glad to help! It does make a big difference to have the extra one over the kitchen and shower windows.

Tom, what brand? I've not done this. I stop about every 100miles or so and check temps..Not had any deflating issues. Really don't want to add another display. I do like the one that runs thru vmspc....
Could that be the one you got?

i put the pressure pro system on. i checked into how it attaches to the silverleaf vmspc, but they wanted too much for me to pay for a receiver for it.

I have use the pressure pro for the last 8 years and just purchase a new one this year. I have never had any issues and totally have confidence in the pressure readings which also monitor the pull vehicle. I do have a repeater in the closet in the rear. They have save me numerous time before moving and also while in motion. They are well worth the price to keep from checking tires at every stop. I have had 3 moving incident one when I ran over something which cause a leak that was detected and two alum rim crack which happen while moving. Both rims that failed were rims that were manufacturer by Alcoa 2006 and latter. I have never had a problem with the original 24.5 wheels. I would not drive a coach without a tire monitoring system and pressure pro is the only one I have experience with.

Have not been around for some time. To many things that I won't bore anybody with. Phyllis and I plan to be there if things work out for us. We will commit at a later time if space is availible.
