You really ought to think about what you wrote Hahahah, I was thinking the same thing. There's always someone here to scold people that ask questions though isn't there?554Views0likes0CommentsRe: Is this the start of Workhorse again? Isuzu?

Just like any other engine/transmission combination. :W Now toss in the rear end gear and you can really confuse the issue. The fact of the matter is this engine does NOT make diesel like torque. Through gearing, etc, it can get a decent tow rating, but it will never have diesel like torque. The Cummins ISB, the smallest main stream diesel used today, starts at 660 #/ft of torque, and depending on the application goes all the way to 800 #/ft. There is nothing wrong with a gas engine, but to say this engine will compete with a diesel is stretching it a bit. People still care about the torque numbers these days? Funny.525Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV Blows Tire Causing Roll-Over Video
It's the first time I have seen this video as well so I will post away as if what I have to say is worth a damn. He did appear to be going too fast but... You will notice the turn signal activates one time at just about the exact moment when the tire blew. One hand on the wheel and a tire blowout on a heavy coach traveling fast could easily pull the wheel out of that one had I imagine. It also could certainly throw the brain off since he was probably looking out of his passenger side mirror and thinking about clearances. He or she could also have reduced reaction times due to age. I know I do not have the reflexes I had 20 years ago. I think that the blowout almost could not have occurred at a worse time.470Views0likes0CommentsRe: Campground Question
Someone messed up and it could be kinda funny in hindsight that they put someone on your spot out of all the other possibilities but maybe they have an order in which they fill sites. That being said, it is wrong. Wasn't the end of the world obviously but it does show poor management and I probably would have turned to angry myself if a front desk clerk smirked at me. Also, a few people said you should tell the front office what you are doing if you leave for the day and I have to say I think that is absolutely ridiculous. If you paid for a site, you paid for it from check-in the first day through checkout the last day. If I don't want to even show up, I would fully expect a site to be sitting completely empty the whole time. You are paying them for the site, you shouldn't have to do any of their job for them.372Views0likes0CommentsRe: Buying a used winnebego what to expect
For around $8-10k you can often find a '99 or so with no slides powered by the V10. It may take some waiting for the right one but I would go that route any day over an 80's or even early 90's model even if I had to save up for another year.228Views0likes0CommentsRe: Generator R&R
Take the air filter off and spray some starter or just carb cleaner in the air intake while holding down the starter. If it keeps running for a second or two after letting go of the starter, it is fuel delivery anyhow, sorry I have no particular info on the removal process for your coach but that never stopped anyone from adding more advice.312Views0likes0CommentsRe: No Electric When Hooked up

Therefore, must be the link between the park pedestal and the transfer switch. If the cord and the plug seem to check out ok, I'm thinking that your transfer switch may be the problem. When you plug into to shore power and click on the breaker at the pedestal, you should hear your transfer switch click. If not, then either power is not getting to it, or the transfer switch bit-the-dust (It might be stuck in the generator position.) That is an assumption. It's likely since he cycled the breaker but still an assumption.193Views0likes0Comments
