No, we've sold our Newmar fifth wheel and no longer need it. It's been a great hitch for us. Jay

Since the beginning of emissions testing, in my experience, there's just a fine. Typically, you're often given a period of time to correct it in order to reduce significantly the total fine amount. This is mostly based on experience traveling through NJ, plus following industry news sources. Of course, CA has its own way of doing things. Jay

My Comfort Ride is now listed in the classified section. Jay

Does the SOC meter need to be re-zeroed? I'm not familiar with the Magnum, but my Xantrex requires zeroing out occasionally, due to minute system inaccuracies. Check your manual to see if that's the case. On my Xantrex Link Pro, you hold down the left-right arrows down for a few seconds to zero it out to full. Jay

I've never heard of such a thing. New wheel seal, new cap, you're good. Just don't use a Stemco. You don't even necessarily need to remove the grease. Jay

Have you physically tested the input of the inverter under load? Sounds like low voltage cutoff, but perhaps your remote readings aren't reflecting what's going on. Jay

I have a recently new Comfort Ride 308 fifth wheel that'll be available once the fifth wheel is gone. It's like this one.. https://www.ptrailerusa.com/categories/specialized-towing/5th-wheel/24k-5th-wheel-hitches.html , but it's the heaviest duty one they make. It's on excellent condition and I can include my custom Jackalopee setup as well, if desired. Jay

I expect to have a 308 available soon. If so, I'll post in the classifieds. Jay

If you have an HDT, it's important to place your transponder near the bottom of the windshield, or your visor may block it. I have colleagues who've been charged large amounts by NY for misreads. If you don't have a visor, no problem. Also, you no longer need a Sunpass for FL, your EZPass will now work there as well. A transponder will make your life dramatically easier if you visit NYC, Chicago, or the Northeast. There are virtually no cash booths there anymore. Chicago in particular, puts the onus on the driver to blindly figure out how much they owe for each toll gate and voluntarily submit it. Jay

I'm glad it worked out for you and you're enjoying freedom from those miserable Stemcos... 😊 Jay

I don't have that experience, but I'm guessing it's not that valuable for only 15,000 miles a year. For 150,000 miles a year, sure!! Jay

I've been an owner/operator for thirty years. I don't know of any road service plan for commercial use that is readily available. I just minimize the need for a tow and when it happened - once - I paid out of pocket. Jay P.S. Actually, I forgot. There was another tow a loooong time ago, I think 1992.

Isn't that the truth... Odd.. Jay

It's been a long time since the media paid any attention to facts and details. Jay

I imagine he meant 70 hours a week. That tracks with logbook regs. Jay

I don't think you could pile enough snow on a Volvo hood to actually damage it, but that's just my take. My Volvo hood is 24 years old, and nothing so far has put a dent in it, other than an exploding steer tire. Jay

Is this it? https://youtu.be/_ItPxPOZs08

I agree with Chad that it's unnecessary to volunteer the details about your HDT. As far as anyone needs to know, you still actually have a dually. I would continue to just go with that. Jay

I have "dry camped" in my truck while working for many years when I lived and worked in the cold, frozen tundra of the Midwest. Many drivers just idled their engines for warmth, but I rarely did that. I was completely comfortable sleeping in temps as low as zero or beyond by using a bunk warmer or electric blanket. It was a bit brisk when one had to get up, though. Jay

You should be able to place your "cursor" at the bottom of your entry and then use the back button to remove the blank space. Jay

Sounds good. Here is a link to the ScanGauge KR, if you decide to use it. They ScanGauge will give you fault codes, which I think is already worth the price of admission. Jay https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwjJpKOzotn7AhVOyYYKHTq1DlkYABAHGgJ2dQ&sig=AOD64_0VH79VtgdrfIfmWQS96gkW_FMv2w&ctype=5&ved=2ahUKEwiN-pqzotn7AhWuSjABHeYcCWQQwg8oAHoECAwQBg&adurl=

I would also check the wiring harness behind the display. The contacts can get weak and sloppy with time. Can you swap it with a known good one to check the harness? Jay

A ScanGauge KR will effectively give you much of the information normally found in the driver's information display. There are also tablet/software solutions, but the name escapes me at the moment. Jay

You're welcome. I'm been self employed most of my life, so I'm accustomed to paying for my own insurance. I delayed taking full Social Security until age 70 to maximize my monthly check, but of course I took Medicare as soon as I could. Jay
