Looks like it's about 50/50 run versus not running and both say they have had no ill effects.. Thanks again Mike Mathews...setting five months run the engine or not?We're setting in the South for five months and a discussion came up as to whether to run the engine once a month or not.. I was allows told not to unless you could go out on the road and run for 20 mile or so.. Cummins is where I got that, but what about gas engines?? What about starting just till the oil pressure comes up and then shut off??(30 to 45 seconds)Thanks.. Mike Mathews Guys I don't think I mentioned the gen, I run it once a month with load so I'm OK with that..AC some times short cyclingWe have an '03 38' Holiday Rambler Motorhome with 13,500 AC front and back.. Each has its own thermostat, the old slide rule type.. The temp can be 75 in the coach and the AC will keep coming on even if I have the thermostat on 85+ degrees.. Then it may start short cycling sometimes.. Is this a thermostat problem or an AC problem?? Thanks for all replies..old slide rule analog thermostats2003 moho with Duo-Therm thermostats.. They are acting crazy so I'm wanting replace them.. Isn't there a digital house thermostat that you can replace them with? Do any of you remember which one works?? Thanks ahead of time.. Mike Mathewsflexible brake hosesWe have a 2003 diesel on the R4 Monaco chassis with hydraulic brakes.. It has around 58,000 + miles on it.. How long do the flexible brake hoses last that's between the steel lines and the calipers?? Thanks.. Mike MathewsRe: Engine Batteries - loss of chargeFirst is your coach suppose to charge both banks when you're on shore power?? What kind/how big is your inverter?? Most coaches do not charge both banks.. You'll need to install a charger between the banks that will take the charge to the engine batteries when you're on shore power.. It sounds like the solar panels aren't keeping up with the amount of discharge you have.. Mike Mathews..Re: Dash matsGot mine at the Toy Store off of the net.. Mike MathewsRe: Michelin Advantage ProgramWe just put Michelins on the front and they were made in Spain.. It seems that all companies are going world wide.. There's a new market over there for them to tap into.. Mike Mathews..Re: Tire decision, Michelin, BFG, or KumhoI go with BF Goodrich they are owned by Michelin.. Mike MathewsRe: Want to add air hornsTry Hadley-products.com that's where I got our horns.. We got the Bully Horns and put under the front and pointed them straight ahead just under the cap so there even with the front edge.. You may not want to put them pointing down, they won't project sound away from the coach?? Mike Mathews..
