If this is true (which in 21 yrs. of P&C Insurance sales I have never heard of happening), the most they could do is collect the unpaid premium. The only way a Ins. Co. can refuse to pay a claim for their Insured if the Policy is inforce at the time of the claim is if the named peril is excluded. this is true! And Progressive is the last Insurance I would ever, ever buy!!! Why? why Flo of course. :B I kind of like Flo..... ;)488Views0likes0CommentsRe: Light Bulbs! Why can't I identify them?
Thank you all for your responses! They have helped a great deal. I worked in the coach all day yesterday and came up with a couple more burnt out bulbs, the "wedge" type. They are in the sconces and bedroom reading lamps. So I ended going to superbrightleds.com and ordering a handful to test. If they are to my liking I will slowly replace the halogens with LED's. They are expensive, but provide the same or more light for a fraction of the electricity so help with battery life. Almost as important to me is the heat the incandescent and halogen lights put out. That will save on the AC. I just wanted to thank everyone who responded for the very kind assistance. If anyone is interested I'll post how these lights work out for me. on429Views0likes0CommentsRe: Light Bulbs! Why can't I identify them?
I truly appreciate everyone's input! I'm going to head over to the big orange box and see if they have anything. I do want to replace all of them eventually. I just got the coach Friday and spent today cleaning. Those little bulbs are definitely halogen, it got hot in there. My fan in the bedroom is out I noticed, but that's for another thread. It did work the other day. I'm guessing a fuse. Just need to find which one!429Views0likes0CommentsRe: Light Bulbs! Why can't I identify them?
Thank you all for the help! Ivylog wrote: I would suggest you start with something like this as over the last several years I've tried various and these are currently the best. Under a cabinet I would suggest these but they will be off center in the fixture and on either you have to cut half the lead off as they are too long. I'm waiting for these to be made in warm white (3000k), not bright white (6000k) for the ceiling lights as they will center in the fixture better with 15 5050 SMD LED's. I want to replace these with the bright white. One thing I've noticed is these coaches are kind of dark. Do the LED's work with the dimmer? That's my only concern now that I've got the bulb identified. Thanks again to everyone who answered! Don428Views0likes0CommentsLight Bulbs! Why can't I identify them?
2006 Country Coach Magna 630, 42'. I'm trying to identify what type of bulb is used in the ceiling. I've looked in the manual, and even the schematics and can't find a part number. The bulb is small, marked on the side is 12v 10w 2-pin push in type. I'm not sure if they are halogen or not. I know it's just a bulb, but I'm trying to replace all of them with LED's. So I think I need to know exactly what I'm replacing so I buy the correct LED bulbs. The fixture they go in is a small round circular light approx 3" across. Frosted lens. There's approx 8-10 in each ceiling fixture. (I think it's a cosmetic cover for the bottom of the AC units also). Thank's, Don3.2KViews0likes13CommentsRe: Finding a friendly place to fuel up.

The other truck stops take two trips to the cashier, one to start the pump the second to settle up. Small stations have a $75 or $100 limit with but 2 or 3 swipes. Plan to fuel after 500-600 miles and you will have lots of choices. I'm considering a Pilot/Flying J card after going through this forum. Again, thanks everyone who responded.397Views0likes0CommentsRe: Finding a friendly place to fuel up.

Need to go over to Yahoo and join the Country Coach forum https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Country-Coach-Owners/info and there is also one on http://www.irv2.com/forums/ Keep an eye on the radiator and has it had the wet PTO installed. http://www.jdrv1.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/pto-101a.pdf When I fill up I use Pacific Pride. I can fill any time of the day and any amount and have it setup on auto pay once a month to my CC and get a 5% discount. JR Hey JR, this is the Magna 630 Van goh floor plan. I've already joined the Yahoo site, great resource and thanks! I'll look at the other forum too. I'm having an RV mechanic do a complete check today, independent of the dealer. The dealer was supposed to call about the PTO issue but I hadn't heard the response. I read that it was a recall, so I should be able to get it done? Radiator looks good so far but yeah, sadly I'm aware of that issue too. Only 7,400 miles so it should buy me some time. I also read that the 42' didn't seem to have as much of the radiator problem as some of the others? Don't know but I read that in the forums too. Driver's big window was fogged from the seals losing their integrity. Country coach sent a new one last Monday so everything should be ready to go by Friday pick up day. Still has to pass Maryland inspection so that should catch anything safety or mechanical that's happened because of that low mileage/sitting. Worse thing is I don't know what I don't know. I've done boat "camping" but nothing with wheels. EDIT: Almost forgot. Tires were manufactured in 2005. The coach has been garage kept since new, but I've still asked for 6 new tires on the rear. (Front tires and wheels were replaced in 2011)397Views0likes0CommentsRe: Finding a friendly place to fuel up.

Thank you, 13' tall and 42' long. And I used to ride my motorcycle all along the Skyline Drive and I remembered some pretty tight curves too.397Views0likes0CommentsRe: Finding a friendly place to fuel up.

Make a placard with these 3 units of measurement in large, black magic marker letters/numbers in the dashboard area where you can readily see them, to compare these to the signage you see while driving. Once you have ALL 3 memorized, then you won't need the flash card placard easily seen in the cockpit area. Easy enough to do. Thanks200Views0likes0Comments
