Keep safe.  This forum and some others has widened my circle so that I now watch the weather around the nation and hope that my friends are safe.  Used to be if my neighbors next door still had a roof I was happy, now I worry about the whole countryside!  We lost two fishermen in the last couple of days, a rough way to make a living but we all like our fresh lobster...

Thanks for your comment.

Glad you are safe, Don. I was just coming to post here myself about that.

Sad deal down there. Praying for all those involved. What a heartbreak losing all those little kiddos.

Often we fail to realize that we live on a violent planet, and sadly that this will most likely happen again.  It is a shame that the kids got caught up in it and I feel badly about them, as their lives were just beginning.

Life in Oklahoma is good, but every now and then, you will pay a heavy price for it.

I found this online and thought it would be great in my coach:

Its a power strip that shuts off multiple items based on the (sensed) on/off condition of a single device.

I think this would be useful in an entertainment center or computer setup.  For instance, If I made my control device my tv, then when it is off, the power strip would also kill the power the dvd player, surround sound, video game, etc.

It should help control the waste electricity that is used by electronics that don't really shut off, but just "sleep".  This would really be helpful on rvs, since we actually make our own electricity

I hope this helps

When you get it up on the ramps I would just replace the check valve ( they are cheap). And clean out all those fittings to be sure. I still don't know why your dry tank is in the front with the park tank. Where is your wet tank? Do you have an air dryer at all?

Cracker Barrel is RV friendly, if you can fit their spots.  We can't when we are towing as we are at 53 ft.  Their spots are 40' I believe.  A lot of their parking lots are rather tight.  We do frequent them when we are camped nearby.

Yah I attached a guage to the aux tank (accessible from the service door ahead of the driver's side front tire. It mirrors the guage on the dash. I can't really attach it easily to the dry tank unless I get the bus up on ramps and get it blocked. Also I stopped at C&J this afternoon and they said the check valve could possibly be sticking and it is usually easy to dis assemble and clean and then put back together. So I soaked the fittings with PB blaster and sometime this weekend when I have time; I'll drive it up on the ramps and block the body securely. Then let the air out of the dry tank and try to get the check valve out of there and clean it up.

I still don't believe the governor is the culprit.

I've been working to carpet the walls and ceiling of my bunk area for the last few weeks.  I hope to have this phase wrapped up by a week from Tuesday as the bus goes to my friend's house to get drawers added while I head out of town for a little trip.  We also added a door to a little closet area in the back.  The raised area is there from the factory to accommodate the engine.

I have attached a picture of the carpeting job.  The strange slanted area under the door is to clear the engine hatch.

For those times when the local Walmart doesn't allow parking or you just decide to stay somewhere else...what alternatives are available? I know the larger truck stops are ok but noisy. What about Lowe's, Home Depot, Cracker Barrel or others? Is anyone RV friendly other than Walmart?

Sounds like RVers are becoming just like lawyers, 99% of them are giving the rest a bad name. Sad state of affairs.

NOT among the 99%, Sam

Thanks John.  Fixed!
