RE: Mecerdes Diesel
I do not have first hand experience with Mercedes or Navistar engines in RV's. However, I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night and following is the list of the most common RV engines listed in preference from top to bottom.....1. Cummins 2. Caterpillar 3. Mercedes 4. Navistar.
The Detroit 60 series is a very solid engine, but only available in top end motorhomes.
The Detroit 60 is in very old motor homes. Newer models have the DD 13.

RE: Passive Steer
A very high dollar addition that provides very little usefulness. My coach has a 60 degree steering angle, and I don't have to worry about the Passive Steer breaking.

RE: Entry Steps too high at times what do you use?
Use the aforementioned step stool or, if possible, lower the coach.

RE: Coleman Heat Pump blowing cold air
What is the outside temp? Heat pump doesn't work well below 40.

RE: Stated wheelbase
This is how Freightliner does it....other's do it to the center of the dually wheels and the tag and others to it to the center of the tag:
On trucks with multiple rear axles, wheelbase is generally measured from the center of the front hub to the center of the hub of the most rearward drive axle.

RE: Roadside assist
I see with Good Sam they say they will replace a tire if it is damaged and will repair a damaged tire! It sounds like they will furnish a new tire if needed!
Most of them do this - at your cost for the tire.
They will do that. We had a blowout...GS brought a new tire and rim, which I paid for ahead of time. We did not need the rim, so the tech took it back and our money was refunded.

RE: Insurance - Increase Every Year About $100
Oldcarfun,
Give us a call at Good Sam Insurance Agency. We can shop it for you with National General, Safeco, Foremost and Progressive. All have excellent RV programs with the coverage's that RV'ers need.
Keith - Director of Good Sam Insurance Agency
FOR THE RECORD... Good Sam Insurance quote was over $2000 per year more than my current carrier for the identical coverage. Good Sam is way overpriced.....Dennis
You have to keep checking around every few years. I was with GS about six years ago, they raised the rates, I moved. Last June I checked with them, and they got a policy for me that was $1000 lower than I was paying with a different company.

RE: Replace my aquahot 375 help
Are you positive the AH is supposed to provide floor heat? We've had two AHs, neither one heated the floors....they were electric.

RE: engine antifreeze
As noted above, you need coolant for a diesel, not a gasser.

RE: 2010 650 Cummins mileage
MPG is not even in the ball park of possible expenses on that engine. You need to read these 32 pages on repeated #6 broken valve on the ISX engines: http://www.irv2.com/forums/f123/cummins-isx-broken-valve-in-6-a-401436.html
#6 broken valve
There is a post today on it in a 06 ISX...not sure yet if it was a 600 HP. I have a 06 525 HP that hopefully is not prone to this problem.

2006 ISX
Good advice. I would buy an new ISX, but not one of the older models.

RE: Coach net vs FMCA road side assist
I always thought GS, CN, FMCA, All State, etc would all have to use the same vendors....none of them actually have equipment.

RE: Benefits of registration in SD
As noted above, states are cracking down on RVers claiming residence in one state to avoid taxes in their "true" home state. My state is checking out of state tags and when they find somebody doing what I stated above, they get fined, pay all past state taxes and state tax penalties. Check with an attorney.
