  1. IMHO a small diesel will take more "abuse" than a gasser of comparable size/displacement, it will for positive have way more torque than gas. I believe the biggest draw back is the up-charge for the diesel compared to the gas, hard to justify the extra cost initially AND the higher cost of diesel fuel. I just LOVE my Cummins Turbo 6.7! The power and the torque are all I could ask for. Dan
  2. Last fall I noticed ply separations on two of my tires while on a trip (we have a MS too). I called GY claims department and received a claim number. After letting them know our location I was they referred me to a GY dealer near me. The dealer inspected my tires and contacted GY for an adjustment. GY replaced ALL 4 tires and I had to pay $1,000. I had NO blow-outs or damage so it was just an exchange. I was happy with the results. Our old tires were dated early 2014, we took delivery from our dealer in April of '14. I can't remember just how many miles were on them at that point but I'd have to guess around 15k. Dan
  3. Thanks for the update Hill. I’ll be very interested to know if your new service will work from your RV. That would be a huge plus but for us here we have AT&T internet service (In home) and it’s not very good, 50 mbs tops while Spectrum customers are enjoying 200 mbs in this same area but for a lot more $$$.

  4. Thanks for the info Hill. I wasn't aware of this program, it appears this program was rolled out in March of this year. We are T Mobile customers currently, have been for over a year now. I went to their website and signed up to be on their waiting list, I'm hoping it won't be too long of a wait. Please keep us informed as to your experiences with this new service! Dan
  5. Babysitter, I'd like to add there are some of us DRV owners that haven't experienced ALL the problems mentioned above. They are legitimate concerns for sure!! You are buying a "lightly used" DRV, look closely at the points of others' failures to see if this unit you're interested in has similar issues. We have a 2015 38 RSSA, we've had NO leakes, nothing falling off the ceilings or experience "under performing" braking. Do your due diligence and check the unit out. We're happy with our purchase. Has our trailer been problem free? NO, we've had the Lippert "front jack failure" problem along with some other minor issues that were corrected under warranty. Our experience has been, for the most part a positive one. Good luck with your search! Dan
  6. I do have the "new" style rams. They definately have a shorter stroke, we've gotten used to that. Lippert had to re-configure the way our jacks are mounted. There was cutting and welding going on but when it was all done Lippert did a fantastic job! They also did some work in the pump area too but I can't remember just was was changed/eliminated. That was over two years ago and we haven't had ANY issues since! Good luck with your situation, I hope you find resolution..... Dan
  7. Ryan is wanting Lippert to "own" an inherent problem DRVs are having with the front jacks. Lippert replaced ours two years ago N/C. I had already made an appointment with Robets RV Repair prior to Lippert stepping up to the plate and covering our problem. Sorry to hear you're having problems Ryan, good luck!!!!!!! Dan
  8. If you are in the area or can travel to MORryde have them check your springs, their service shop is second to none! We were just in for a "routine alignment", the tech spotted two bad (torn) springs, we had to have them replaced. Keep in mind there's a 5 year warranty on those, they replace "N/C" if you're within warranty! MORryde treats you like royalty while you're visiting their service shop! Beautiful waiting area, beverages supplied, lunch IF you're there that long AND a T shirt! Oh, and WIFI too. Dan
  9. The same thing happened to us. Called Winegard, the tech told me the short cable (from base to LNB) was probably bad. I looked at it, it didn't appear to be damaged, I even took a multi tester up on the roof and checked for voltage (we had 19 volts). I decided to try a home made "jumper" I made myself. Sure enough...... the old cable, which "looked" perfect was bad, we were back in business! I called Winegard back and ordered a replacement figuring my hame made cable wouldn't hold up for long. My replacement worked for a couple of months.... In the mean time my "jumper" turned out to be just a tad short (my fault) and pulled loose so I got the "no LNB voltage" message again. Went back up and replaced with the factory replacement cable and we're all good now! 😃 Dan
