RE: Trans temp gauge reads '0'
Several years ago I had the same issue. The wire connector had come unplugged from the sensor on the transmission. I think it was on the rear of the Allison 3000, but was easy to reattach.

RE: Long trips
One reason we switched to a Class A from a 5th wheel was that no how nice the truck and 5th wheel, you're still riding in a truck. You can't do anything but ride. In the class A you can get to the refrig, bathroom, bedroom, closet, pantry and any where else you want. Plus the weather is irrelevant....if it's pouring rain you can still get what you want without getting out of the MH.
Same with us. If it's hot, it's already cooled down before we get to our destination. Same with cold and heat. Sitting up high in a class A also makes for good views. Seeing what's way up ahead makes for a more relaxed driving also. JMO.

RE: CDC issues warning
Has anyone heard what the situation is in Algodones? It pretty much only exists as a border town for low cost dental and optometry for US and Canadians.

RE: Tail light issues
Had the same problem on a car a few months ago. It had a loose fitting socket. I pushed a couple of flat toothpicks in between the socket and bulb. It's a McGyver fix, but it's been working fine for 3 months now.

RE: Help figuring out DOT tire code
I found the date code on the inside of the tire. Didn't know they only stamped one side. I learn something new everyday. Thanks guys for the informative replies.

RE: Help figuring out DOT tire code
Thanks everyone. I'll look on the inside of the tire. BurbMan, they sure don't make it easy to read the numbers:(

Thanks Old Biscuit, but there are no numbers next to the DOT code, just letters.

Help figuring out DOT tire code
I was looking at the spare tire for my enclosed trailer and can't figure out the date of manufacture. The side wall code says DOT 1PP CXKRCF. How do I figure out those letters for mfg date? If it helps, it is 15" load range E. Thanks for any help in advance.

RE: Loose side mirror
The ones I've seen have a small Allen screw on the side or bottom of the arm to adjust and tighten the mirror.

RE: 12 volt receptacles shorting 12 volt accessory charge cords
I had exactly the same problem because I had wired them backwards..."reverse polarity". Switched the 2 wires around and they work perfectly.

RE: Easy way to tell what outlets are on my inverter?
Are you sure about your stove? I thought the ignitor would be 12 volt.

RE: Freightliner chassis
I always take our coach(freightliner chassis)to a Cummins Coach Care facility. They work on all chassis related repairs and service and have always done competent work and fair priced. There is probably a Coach Care facility near you.
I should mention that the only problem I've ever had with the chassis was an air bag and an air line leaking which for a 2003 is understandable. The other shop times were just annual service work. It drives great with little effect from passing semis.

RE: Winter cover for TT
We have two motorhomes and leave one of them covered all winter. I bought a good quality breathable rv cover which covers the entire motorhome. I then bought a blue plastic tarp of a size that covers the roof and only comes down over the sides and front and rear cap about a foot. The tarp does NOT cover the windows.
I leave a roof vent open(it has a vent cover over it). We get quite a bit of snow, wind, and rain and I have never had any mildew or mold because of the breathable cover and the tarp not covering the windows. We also have never had any chafing on the motorhome since the tarp only comes down about a foot over the edge of the roof. You could leave a window cracked if more ventilation is wanted. This method has worked for several years for us without any problems.
Why do you use a tarp on top of the cover?
The breathable rv cover is not waterproof, so even though I check and keep all roof seams sealed, I don't want any possibility of water getting in a roof seam crack that may appear during the winter. The tarp is waterproof.

Keep Coachnet. I've never had any problems with them. Can't say that about Good Sam.

RE: Freightliner customer service
I would be going in and asking them how much longer it's going to be before they get to it. Since you've been up since before 5am. I'd tell them I need a nap.:)

RE: Live with no dash ac?
Get the dash air working and hang a temporary curtain behind the driver/passenger area while driving. It will keep you cool.
Yep, this method keeps the cab plenty cool.
