RE: TPMS question
I would advise to avoid the flow-through sensors. They are pretty much a PIA, as the flow rate to add air is very slow. I remove the sensors to add air because of that reason.
We took the sensors off too. They were more trouble than they were worth.

RE: House Battery Disconnect Not Working
It appears that all your terminals should be cleaned.
But if the fuse is blowing, that means the electromagnet is shorted.

RE: Valve stem extenders for inner wheels (DRW)
The valve stem extenders that came on my motorhome leaked and the inner tires went flat on me. I took the extenders off and put a TPMS system on. No more flat tires since doing that 6 years ago.
Our TPMS Leaked so we removed it.

RE: Is there any REAL quality out there?
There are several 2000 to 2008 Newmar motorhomes that are well equipped for that price range.
We have very little problems with our Newmar Maintain Aire.
to avoid the typical quality stuff you must stay above the luxury level.
Just remember there isn't a cheap motorhome.
and never buy from a dealer, , we found ours in a park and sell lot.
22 years later we think we got some divine guidance
Is Newmar by any chance owned by Thor or built in Indiana? I just want to avoid anything coming out of there. Way to many horror stories... Sorry not trying to insult anybody... :)
Lots of stuff happened in 2008 starting with DEF. industry standards, company policies, and the THOR take over..
That is why I stay 2000 to 2008 are the better coaches.

RE: Valve stem extenders for inner wheels (DRW)
Can anyone recommend a good product for a dually inner wheel valve stem extender? What are the downsides of using any of these, if any? Thanks!
I don't use extenders,,Valve cores come in many sizes, have your tire dealer install one that will extend far enough to air the tire .

You should pick up a well maintained high level unit for that.

RE: Full Time Motorhome
Any specific reason to avoid a DP? I think you'll find more DP's with a floorplan you like and a W/D than gassers with W/D.
believe me, the cost difference between gas vs diesel is a wash. what you spend on one you'll spend on the other. the big difference is the time spent on maintenance.
Really? 7 quart oil change for a gas coach. 20 + quarts for a diesel.
Replacement engines don't cost the same.
No turbo on a gas coach to fail.
Heaver diesel coach has more expensive tires.

My Newmar 4080 mountain aire
engine cost is 10 k (rebuilt- exchanged ) but I'll never need one cummins 8.3 usually lasts well over 300k gas not so much.
I've bought 3 sets of new tires. costs varies want to run china booms go for it.
Most of the newer gas engines have turbos some has two each.

RE: Previous Owner Painted the Gelcoat - What to do?
I am a painter, normally once painted it must be sanded off. normally the gel-coat get sanded prior to paint is applied. this makes it near impossible to remove.

RE: Anyone towing an older Jeep YJ?
The front axels are no problem,, lock out hubs are great,, the rear are not so great. we found that removing the drive shaft was necessary for long trips, 3 sets of universals was enough to need the extra work. we liked the trailer option too. but there ya go, 4 tires, 2 axels to maintain.
