TSD ROCKS! We've used the FlyingJ aka Camping World discount @ 8 cents/gal in the past. When TSD came out with the EFS card for RVrs I applied and received mine in the mail. I was able to use it for the first time two days ago. Filled up at a Petro station in Milan NM. Pump price: $3.29 pumped 83.4 gallons = $275.15. Received my bill from TSD today---$239.24. That's a savings of almost 47 cents/gallon.!!! If you don't have the card, please get one. If you don't know what it is, shoot me a PM and I'll explain......Dennis

Cuz I got it AFTER the flood. I didn't even know they existed until after that. Funny how things like that smarten one up. Which is exactly WHY I posted this here. Hoping to prevent someone else from suffering the same fate as me. $11 bucks woulda saved me a lot of grief had I known then.....Dennis

Rik, make a suggestion to Winnebago. They will not only put a light on the dash but most likely an audible beep that no one will remember what it does...😄...Dennis

I had the rubber cover for the wiper mount split on mine. Went to the junkyard and picked up a couple. Those aren't really Monaco specific IIRC. Probably your local NAPA store will have them. Amazon has a couple sets but you'd have to compare them to be sure. Try google, Screw in Wiper Nozzle for RV Fire Truck.. As for wiper blades, I replace mine every couple years from Sam's Club. I rarely drive in the rain but when I do, it's nice to have fresh rubber on the windshield......Dennis Screw in wiper nozzles

Happy Easter. Hope your camping eggsperience continues to be enjoyable....Dennis

Not only are they easy to replace, they are relatively inexpensive....Dennis

Awesome! Continue to have fun, my friend.....Dennis

Ugh! It's Spring!! We are supposed to be CAMPING. Floor replacement takes place during fall and winter. Just sayin. 😁 Glad you found the damage before it was too late. You know it'll be a bad day if your wake up call finds you sitting in your black tank....marine grade plywood is expensive but well worth the money.....Dennis

As we get older, we tend to 'forget' things which leads us to slap ourselves in the forehead and ask how could we be so dumb. Well, maybe not all, but I know I'm in that group. 😁 Anyway, sometimes we forget the grey tank is closed when we thought it was open. Things happen. Sometimes leaks occur when we least expect them to. A while ago we were traveling south in the wee hours of the morning and my DW got up to go to the restroom. She 'forgot' to turn off the water pump. Unfortunately, I had left a couple pieces of floor tiles up against the faucet in the wet bar. As I merrily traveled down the highway, one of those tiles moved and turned on the faucet in said wet bar. About an hour later DW got up to get me a cup of coffee and stepped onto very soggy carpeting. I had about 100 gallons of fortunately fresh water all over the interior. Several hours later with a full hamper of wet towels and we were on our way again. Stopped at Wally World and picked up a carpet cleaner to suck up whatever water was left, along with several fans to air dry everything. Lesson learned. So what's the purpose of this post? Here's is what I learned from that experience. Water can leak at any time. Water will seek it's own course when leaking. It's our job to stem the flow when that occurs. Here is a gadget that IMO, should be in every coach. It simply sits on the floor,(I placed mine right outside the shower) out of the way and screams like a banshee when it gets the slightest hint of water. Cost is 11 bucks at your local Home Depot. Amazon also has them if you don't want to drive.....Dennis

Forecast???? Heck, here in Arizona it said clear. Went to bed in 80 degree weather under mostly clear skies. Woke up this morning at 3AM to pouring rain. By 9AM it was clear again and 83 degrees....Weather man guesses a lot. Speaking of forecasts, what's the difference between "Partly Cloudy" and "Partly Sunny". If it's cloudy would that block the sun and make it partly sunny? Inquiring minds want to know.🤥 I've always thought that was kinda weird......Dennis

The lights are easy enough to check. Look underneath first and look for a frayed wire. You could swap one of the front bulbs with a rear one and test them that way. You are talking about the side lights, right? Not the two on the rear of the coach.....Dennis

I believe there were a few NEGATIVE posts about Nationwide Glass. Do due diligence if you choose them....Dennis Found it! Joelsheriff's post

I always felt the Cricket was to golf carts as the Smart Car is to automobiles.....but, lots of ppl love their Smart Cars.....Dennis

Bill it has bluetooth, yes, it's wireless. Here's a video....Dennis HP 150 Video

Jon, wishing you well and good fortune on your trip. Weather is awesome everywhere and people seem to be more friendly again. Enjoy the trip. Be sure to post your experience. Hope you have some nice vinyl to play. Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again, comes to mind.......Dennis

From your picture, it appears the wallpaper around the upper hole has been peeled back which is why I 'assumed' it was from a previously mounted device. If it's a 1/4" hole, then it's most likely the correct one. I'd still feel around for an indent just in case....Dennis

Steven, all the grab bars are lightable. (Is that a word?) There is a small lamp fitted inside the satin piece that houses the light. Doesn't affect the grab bar but adds a nice touch if you're entering a darkened coach. On ours the outside bar lights as does the one inside the door. I've had to replace the outside one, (expensive) as the grandkids used it as a pulling bar to get into the coach. UGH! They have them at Veurinks RV. They are not dimmable......Dennis

I don't know what happened but if all his breakers tripped it's because of a major 'short' in his system which should be diagnosed as soon as possible. My guess is a loose wire INSIDE his electrical panel. Remember, breakers 'trip' by getting HOT. After they cool they can be reset. Somewhere he experienced a short. We had a lightning strike about 100' from our coach in Billings Montana. It fried my middle A/C, the microwave, the transfer switch and several other smaller items but it did not trip all the breakers. I bonded around the transfer switch to re establish power until we could get it repaired, (coach was under warranty). Electricity can do strange things sometimes, but it's usually easily traceable and corrected. Hope this answers your question. The simple answer is no, the Intellitec system does not trip breakers in the electrical panel. It simply monitor's and shuts down the electrical supply to whatever device it's programmed to do so to....Dennis

This is what was recommended to me by the HVAC guy. $10 bucks a can if you buy four from Amazon. It works great on the HVAC system but I found the Pro HD works best on the radiator. HVAC units are mostly dust and surface grime whereas radiators gather road dirt and greasy residue......Dennis

WOW! I would have to say NO! Those look like something was mounted to the panel there. The "hole" IMO would be perfect. Most likely covered in wallpaper. Use your finger and feel around for an indent. I would think it'd be a 1/4" hole as that's what most hole saws use for a pilot drill. Last thing I'd want to do is cut a 4" hole in the wrong place....Dennis

Harvey, if I understand your question correctly, the Intellitec EMS system simply monitors your electrical distribution and supplies electricity to your devices based on a pre-programmed 'need', shutting off devices as usage exceeds supply. In other words, if you're running three A/C units and turn on the microwave, the EMS system may shut off one of the A/Cs as you would be exceeding the electrical supply. I know this is simplified but I hope you get the gist of what it does....Dennis

Follow Tom's advice above and don't miss a step. He's right on about trouble shooting. No short cuts! Short cuts could prove fatal or at least curl your hair...keep us posted....Dennis

But I get weird looks at the grocery store when I start singing. 😆,,,Dennis

I had a 45 spinner mounted upside down in my 57 chevy. Now I stream music from my phone thru my hearing aids. 🙄...Dennis

Remember whatever 'degreaser' you choose to use, make sure it's designed for aluminum. These posts mention Simple Green as the most used item. That will kill your radiator. Simple Green Pro HD is PURPLE and is safe for aluminum. Some words of advice : READ THE LABELS BEFORE USING ANYTHING TO CLEAN YOUR RADIATOR. Dennis
