Not nerve racking for me. Like it does not happen every day let alone every year. Life is what you make it. I always carried at least a half tank of diesel fuel for such emergencies. Plus good roadside insurance.

Not nerve racking for me. IMO, you cannot carry everything to be prepared for anything. It takes up valuable space and weight especially if you are a full-timer. 90% of what I carried to be prepared I did not use. Roadside insurance is the other option. If you do not have time to wait, you are living in the fast lane. I always had faith the the break down prevented me for encountering a disaster down the blvd. Life is what you make it, one day at a time.

And probably a very thick wallet.

It must be nice to have a well equipped garage.

Try Not to run over what is called a recap road gator. It can get stuck between the dual rear tires doing a lot of damage to the interior above it, the bottom of the engine and tranny. There is a ole saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Did you know that the inner duel is a black steel rim?

Same depth as the inside of the front wheel.

Ivan is correct. Only one side of the aluminum rim is polished. You will be able to tell the difference when mounted. That is why I never rotated my tires. Heat and UV light are the worst conditions for a tire. When a tire gets flat, you are doing good to get the coach off on the side of the road at a place where there will be room to work on it.

Getting the wood to match is one trick, getting it to change tint as it ages is another.

IMO, I would Never paint any fabric. I would cover the fabric area with a fabric of choice. That way in the future you can remove it.

Have you looked with a flashlight at the inside of the rear radiator, the back side, where the fan is from the bottom up? Road grime tends to build up there. Chuck B 2004 Windsor

I am surprised your coolant temps did not rise due to the blockage of the rear radiator.

In 6 years of full timing I never needed a tire change due to a tire failure. That was with the original Goodyear tires that came with the coach. Lucky me?

No mystery for me. Different motor home manufacturer, different chassis manufacturer.

No diesel fuel shortage in Southern Mississippi.

True. I did not have aquahot so I did not have to deal with it. A $10,000 plus option with a costly yearly maintenance added on. My cheap water heater provided all the hot water I needed.

I used air to blow all the water out of my water lines. I then left all the faucets open incase any water was in the lines. The temps where I was went down to zero several times. Never had and frozen pipe issues.

OOOPPPS, 300 miles in distance on most days. Sorry

For us, half the fun of going anywhere was the drive getting there. Except for passing, going downhill, etc, I never went over the speed limit or 60 mph. I tried to plan my day drive by not going over 50 miles in distance on must days. Every where we went it was a 2 timer, the first and last time we went there or added to our come back list. Every road we traveled was different so I never worried about MPG. When the tank reached 1/2 empty, I filled it back up. Therefore I was seldom stressed out at the end of the day driving to reach a pre planned destination. AND I was able to enjoy the scenery while driving. Fast forward to today. When we go to Hattiesburg, I abide by the speed limit. Many times when I was first at a traffic light, I am Never the first vehicle off the starting line. Saved a lot of accidents of getting hit from a vehicle running a yellow or red light. Many times the vehicle next to me pressed the pedal to the metal when the light turned green only for me catching up with them at the next traffic light. Stressful driving for them, relaxed driving for me. I am 81 years old. The last traffic ticket of wreck I had was when I was 28 years old. God willing I will stay that way.

You are dealing with excessive positive or negative camber wear. https://www.worldwidefaqs.com/what-causes-outside-tire-wear/

I would be concerned about the white drain hose. After years of use, it will develop leaks. There are posts about this at least a couple times a year.

The DW and I spent 6 years full timing. We traveled the 48 states from boarder to boarder, sea to sea. We stayed in over 100 campgrounds., When it came to water hook ups, the first thing I attached to the hose bib/water faucet was two water filters. One a sediment filter and the other a carbon taste filter. I used the set up that I purchased at Lowes. I carried spare filters so when I needed to change the filter I had replacement cartridges. The next Lowes I passed, I purchased replacements. IMO that is the only way I had full control of the quality of water entering our coach. Yes, our 2004 Windsor came with a built in dual cartridge filter. My water filter set up covered 99% of issues that entered our coach.

There is a ole saying floating around that says, "if you do not use it, you loose it". That goes for about anything including things in your sticks and bricks house. IMHO, if you let a coach sit around for over a month not using it, you cannot to take it out and expect All systems on it to work properly. I have recommended on this site to take a couch out a couple of weeks before using it to exercise all systems. I also recommend taking the coach out a couple times a month for a 50 mile run. That way you are not surprised by failures. A year or so back I posted a picture of a external fuel filter I installed on the side my genset between the fuel tank and the fuel input to the genset. That filter has a clear bottom on the fuel bowl so I can see the condition of the fuel coming from the fuel tank. That makes it a lot easier to service that filter when needed. As far as the aquahot is concerned, aquahot recommends a annual service procedure to keep it running without shutdowns.

There is a procedure in your generator manual to follow to read fault codes.
