  12. What is the size of your "coach" ? I saw an article that said I can heat a house with a candle if I put it under a clay flower pot . My 5th wheel has a furnace and it Is ducted thru the floor in every room. The blower motor is large to move all the air. I am considering a diesel heater for a sleeper area not a 38 ft 5th wheel.
  13. I a m considering one . After watching many installation videos. I am almost sold on mounting it in a box outside the Volvo hdt sleeper. Somewhere under the truck.

    Shop prices.

    I called a dealer the other day. Asked about their services. One dealer did not do any engine work Just DOT inspections 100.00 Then for any repairs of any kind 265.00 per hour. Then I contacted a Shop that would do engine work .250.00 per hour from start to finish for ANYTHING.
  15. We just finished our 2500 mile trip with standard Bumper pull with the Volvo. Followed like a dream and yes we did not even know it was back there. Drove it at 58-65 mph not 75 mph. No damage from bouncing or shaking. Only one thing to remember .. we parked at home unhooked the bumper pull . Started up the HDT and went to pull away . The trailer was hooked back up to the ball on the hitch. WHY ? well air bags filled back up and raised the HDT back into the trailer ...
  16. Thank you kirk. It's very close. Ours is 100% aluminum. I would prefer not to post email address But answer any contact privately here on the forum . I get so much spam mail already. Thank you again
  17. Just finished a 2500 mile one way trip. Only smoked at cold / cool start up have not used any oil or water.
  18. To us it is so much more fun to have a Vintage Trailer. Vintage meets etc. We get so many more thumbs up on the road. Standing out in the crowd.
  19. We are now back at location where the lift is located in Quartzsite Az. Please email us to meet. Thank you.
  20. If we stay anywhere at no charge we always try to do a purchase at the business. More and more these days there is the Entitled Generation or Entitled mindset. We are not in that group While we have been several no charge locations there are often loud and messy people putting generators or tables and more in the parking lot. We NEVER DO THAT and never park near them. Just a simple respectful way to travel.

    HDT

    Just drove 2200 miles Chicago to Arizona and never saw another one on the road. Only got a lot of thumbs up 👍
  22. I have a Detroit series 60 . Seems like suddenly I have white smoke at start up for a few moments and today slight for 4 miles. Does not get hot and runs great. has anyone had experienced this before ? I was thinking of going into dealer and do a complete checkup on truck. I was told it's about 300.00 to check it out
  23. Friendship is something that just happens . It is not planned or ordered. If a person is just themselves and do things you enjoy. You will meet people with same interests, and maybe you click with them. No expectations.
  24. Its funny the price differance between 1500 and 90 . Once i had a flat tire on our car. Took it in the shop . I was quoted 11.00 to fix ,but wheni returned they wanted 65.00 they said there was rust on the wheel and they had to clean it to repair the flat tire.
  25. Thanks for the post. I want to put a monitor system on my truck. But have Aluminum Wheels. I was under the impression that i just screwed on 6 sensors on each valve stem. Sounded easy enough.
