  1. What is the extra Hardware/connections on top the batteries. I have a 2015 Freightliner M2 106 that is past due for replacement batteries. I never paid much attention to the top of the batteries because out of site, out of mind. It there a connection diagram? what is the extra connection? Personally I'm not able to physically handle hardware of that size . The local truck shop will get the work so I'm not sure if this will be as strange to them as I. Clay
  2. We are not full time but often 5-6 months away from were we grew up and do most of medical visits. When we arrive at a campground we always have a list of things to do but ask the locales about well know attraction and often it is of little cost . Some of best highlights were not known to us until spend a few days. Clay
  3. I brought CURT bike hanging rack 8 years ago and still using it with no problem and easy on and off. Some people perfer the platform style but I would rather have the wheels hanging. This link shows some good hitches https://www.etrailer.com/Bike-Rack Clay
  4. I received my card today . I had to give more confidential info then ever before.I didn't like it Clay

    m2 106 air leaks

    I betting you have an cab air leak or bad connection. I had a bad cab air bag leak when the truck was 4 years old. Freightliner dealer service dept couldn't fine it. The compressor would run every 5-7 minutes. ( That isn't the only problem I had with that dealer). Stopped the I don't remember the tank leak off time but it was only a hour or so . That is when I bought my Whisper device ,cheap insurance Clay M2-106 Sport Chassis
  6. To answer part of your question. I started down down sizing 5 months after my first love passed suddenly. I took my daughter through the house and asked what did they want. The answers were I want that, I will take that and keep that and we will decide later. The son-in-laws was given the same choices on tools. With that, most of the remainder was donated, sold or burn over the next 3 1/2 years. I still depend on a small storage unit for some tools, but basically everything fit into my pickup and 35 foot fifth wheel. Did I miss some stuff, not really except tools. I now have a both a bigger truck and fifth-wheel but doing fine and keeping busy. Biggest problem now is handling the Christmas gifts I received. Not everyone believes gift cards are appropriate gifts. Clay Now questioning do I down size again after being at Mayo's Clinic this week?
  7. Never had a problem storing. I've stored 2 states over 1000 mile from legal address and 2 states over 1300 from my summer base. In all cases the RV has been in a private storage lot or Campground. The longest storage was 5 months. Clay Presently stored in Illinois
  8. I was on and off early in FB history but got off Primarily because of security. First a group (maybe 28) of young people starting tracking people and messing with their life ( Mainly robbery and malicious activities). Later I became aware of the how my computers activities (my traffic) was being sold. Yes I gave FB the right to do it when I accepted there contract for use. IF I visit FB it is on one of my children computer to view pictures. Clay But I don't use Social Media and try to stay from Free applications on my Computers

    m2 106 air leaks

    Here is the instrument I purchased several years for less then $200. I think it paid itself in the first 2 events, plus I didn't have to drive a hour to spend a $100. Search; INFICON 711-202-G1 Whisper Ultrasonic Leak Detector Read the reviews on Amazon Clay

    m2 106 air leaks

    That was my problem in the seats. Also I a back massager on my seat that used air. It was on when I chased a leak. The real leak appeared than it really was. My problems were always in the connectors like Ray,IN shows except a Cab air bag Clay
  11. I took about half in January. The other half would be a CD that expires this fall. The plan was to cash it in, then the market fell and the CARES Act has made me wonder. The plan is still cash in to full fill the RMD. My wife is also taking RMD . But we have 5-7 months to change our minds. Clay Good Lord only knows whether we will on Earth come 2021

    m2 106 air leaks

    A couple questions. Do you have problems finding the leaks or fixing after you find the leak. The a instrument I believe called the "Whisper" that work better the soap bubbles has a locator. Harbor Freight (but I like the local farm supply better) has some tools to put bands on your connectors. Do you have air brakes or Hydraulic? How old is your truck? My M2-106 isn't that old but a couple leaks I have had hose wise just needed a longer length of hose as the movement the hose was being stressed. Clay I try to fix things myself as often the fix takes less time than the drive to a repair shop.
  13. I like the card even when when the discount is small. It is Convenient , Convenient, Convenient. Previously to use the big pumps I had to go inside and prepay and return inside to get my receipt. Now I can maintain my six feet separation. Clay
  14. I use Priority First class or any that provides tracking. I have used First Class Mail which is to be delivered 10 Business day. (is Saturday a business day???). My problem was sometimes, 13 Business Day delivery (M-F) every so often. Normal was 6-8 days where as Priority Mail normal is 3 and sometimes 4 and on a rare occasion 2 days. I was never told a good reason for delays more than 10 business days (M-F). Your First Mail must have been handled with Second Class, is not a good reason. Clay having used First Class mail service from Zip 77299 to NW Illinois Zip 610xx
  15. I don't want to grab the attention away from the subject but I have a serious question. When did they change the name of the state in which to live to WASHINGTON STATE. There is New York and New York City or Spokane, Washington and Pennsylvania Ave , Washington DC but never Pennsylvania Ave, Washington. Washington State is all you hear in the news, are they teaching that in the schools. Is Washington State politically correct? Just wandering Clay sheltering in Texas or is it TEXAS STATE
  16. Slide Toppers seems to be the preferred name Clay
  17. Our destination will be NW Illinois most likely after Memorial Day. There the RV will stored for maybe a month or so depending on events. We are a high risk couple who will plan out our route before we leave. Hopefully carrying enough food for a week. In the meantime you are staying at a distance from all at Kerrville TX.

  18. In the past I had read there was a awning fabric that did not hold water. What I'm interested in finding that Material. Finding out some stories of some users. If I needed I think I have a source to do the sewing. My 4 1/2 year old slide awnings need replacement. The existing awning are Colorado Free and has always held water. Then when the wind gust hit 70 mph the stitching let loose on both the 12 and 14 foot awnings The second option would be a complete replacement with a better quality yet still use the more course fabric.

  19. I'm also a fan of the Pleasure Way on the Ford Chassis. They are expensive and may not be the best for the Dollar. Mind was on a E350 chassis so to keep the weight down the under side is open thus not protected for below freezing use. The workmanship was superb and I found everything user friendly. When I decided to sell my B&S home, I sold the Pleasure Way and moved into a Fifth wheel twice the size but a fraction of the quality Clay
  20. The problem I have with this is Figures don't lie but how presented is the implied lie. I don't anything about the German town but used the American method of getting a test, the 25 % not tested would be the absolute least expected to be have the virus . So my figures, the possible actual German infected could be 11 % (15%of 75) The NYC like wise is high based in the American method of testing . The actual numbers NY per the AMERICAN SICK MAP is below. The State percent being 1.184% and if all was in NYC the city would have less than a million people' Breakdown by state Cases Deaths State Total Per 100k people Total Per 100k people Total 706,442 215 35,926 11 New York 230,290 1,184 15,504 80 New Jersey 78,467 883 3,840 43
  21. I will be waiting also If it comes by Snail Mail I will be waiting. In that case about May 9 my SSA deposit would arrive and what a Mothers Day present. Clay
  22. I have a relative traveling with TT from AZ to IL at this time, No problem. His advice is get campground reservations. One his three night reservation called back stating they were closing the campground, but he was still welcome because he had a reservation, This campground is eastern Iowa off I-80. Clay hoping Campgrounds are open when I travel north next month?
  23. And part of the problem for home consumers is getting the right packing the the product. Never was a real finding eggs for sale. Oh maybe the 6, 12 or 18 egg package were out you could find a box 30 dozen. Same thing Toilet Paper who wanted the the big 10 inch ? rolls. Restaurants and their suppliers has surplus. Clay in Central Texas
  24. I haven't received any paper work so yesterday filed on line using my legal Escapee's address. I thought the form was a little mis-leading as compared to past forms. Especially when it got to the second home which my wife is a legal resident at. Actually I'm at a difference Texas location but we are both White American. Clay Staying put for another month
  25. I found a Doctor BUT new patients were being scheduled in April. So this will get me in the door next year. The ER still is my best option. Thanks to all for your words Clay in Kerrville TX
