I used the beads last time I changed tires. They seem to work, but I like the idea of a more permanent solution. I'll go with Centramatics or Balance Masters at my next reTIREment. 😉

Registered. Thanks Todd.

I bought two flow-through sensors, with the intention to use them on the inner duals. They should replace the extensions that I currently have on there. Haven't installed yet though.

That's a great idea. Keep it simple. 😎 Paul, If Joe doesn't want it, please PM me. I'm interested. Thanks

If any of my vehicles are ever in that, I've got bigger problems than valve stems. LMAO

Thank you Frank for the professional explanation and advice. This settles it for me. When I change my hydraulic fluid, it will be Transynd.

When I added a standby generator, I located it adjacent to my shop to keep any noise away from the house. I ran fiber-optic cable in the conduit along with the generator control circuits, and added a conduit into the shop for the fiber. That feeds another wireless router in the shop, which gives me great coverage. The big advantage of fiber is it's immune to causing damage from a lightning strike. Running ethernet between buildings can result in a large current spike, which can destroy your routers. I used inexpensive fiber converters at each end, and have had no problems so far.

I have a question. Why would you want to risk having your coach not covered while you're living in it? I never understood their logic in doing that. I'd think they'd be better off having less turnover, and just giving reasonable rates to existing customers, instead of constantly having to do all the work to write new policies. At least offer matching rates when a customer calls in ready to cancel their policy for a competitor.

I would not parallel it with my house batteries. You run the risk of draining your batteries and being unable to start the engine. I'd keep an automotive sized AGM battery in parallel with the capacitor bank, keeping the house and chassis systems isolated. Also, beware of counterfeit Maxwell capacitors, especially on eBay, and to a lesser extent Amazon.

I think it's a 1" diameter opening. I suspect this plug could be disassembled and used to replace the plug portion of your existing dipstick. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWWZGD63/ref=syn_sd_onsite_desktop_0?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_plhdr=t&aref=wiWJSA7uTt&th=1

With the tank being full, you likely won't have any issues with water in the fuel. If treated with a biocide and kept dry, diesel will last pretty much indefinitely. It doesn't have the light aromatics that evaporate off like gasoline does. I keep several hundred gallons of diesel at home for standby generator use. I treat the vented tanks once a year, and what I have in sealed barrels I don't really do anything to. No moisture means no algae can grow. In your case, I'd add another dose of Biobor, take it for a drive to stir up any contaminants, and check your primary filter afterwards to see if it contains any significant sediment or algae. Swap in a set of new filters and make sure you have a spare set, and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the info. I 100% agree. If I were using it daily, or even several times a week, I'd definitely go with the major brands. My usage is several times a year. I've spent more time practicing than actually welding on a project. It seems like most all hoods are made in China these days, regardless of brand. 😱

I'm learning to tig weld. I can't call myself a welder as of yet. 😂 I'm thinking of getting one of the true color hoods. I've seen good reviews on some lesser priced ones of late. What's your opinion on them? Worth the investment?

Awesome that you got it taken care of Adam. Peace of mind is certainly worth the expense, and you also got ahead of some other upcoming maintenance, which helps justify the cost. Also glad to hear the positive experience with Fort Myers Allison. It's good info for the Monaco community to know of trustworthy shops around the country.

Michelin, while they make some good performance passenger tires, their reputation on coaches is HORRIBLE! I'd avoid them even if they were cheap. Stephen, Thanks for this review, it's great info on a reasonably priced tire brand. I'm sure it will be invaluable to me and others. I look forward to hear your updates as you get more time and miles on them.
