Re: Banks Power exhaust system
Regarding the Banks system. I would strongly suggest if anyone is getting one installed to have them wrap the exhaust BEFORE they install it. The floor boards in most of the E450 is hot enough as it is, but after you install the Banks it gets hotter. I re-insulated the dog house and under the carpets and will pick it up tomorrow after having a mechanic friend wrap all the exhaust (he could reach) back to the Cat Converter. Almost impossible to get to all the exhaust manifold pieces once installed.521Views0likes0Commentshow to secure kitchen table seat cushions
How do you experienced RV'rs secure your seat cushions at the kitchen table so they don't move yet are easily moveable for cleaning and getting to the storage area's underneath. I've tried velcro but the glue isn't strong enough and it pulls free from the plywood frame.1.6KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Extended Service Plan Cancellation

This doesn't' seem legal to me. The only thing that matters is that we were current and covered on the date of the claim. This program is sold with the promise that you can cancel at anytime, and I think I saw something about it might be prorated, but nothing about this issue. I have requested to speak to a supervisor so we'll see what happens. Supervisor called and said there was a misunderstanding. You can cancel before they write the check but not before they fully investigate the claims you've made. If you cancel before the claim is closed then you don't have a policy and your claim is closed also. close your claim to early and you won't be reimbursed. I appreciate them calling and watching this forum but both customer service people I talked to made it clear that I couldn't cancel until they wrote us a check. More training is needed for the CSR for sure. I have since received reimbursement for a blown tire. Also was reminded that they don't pay for mobile RV repair SERVICE charges. Something to consider. Our guy repaired the RV next to us then ours and still charged us a $100 service charge. My local guy at home only charges $35..0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Extended Service Plan Cancellation

Just drove from Phx to Yellowstone with the banks power system and the 5 star tuner and couldn't be happier. Not once did it search for gears going up hills. Banks says their system is designed to run on 87 octane and that's what we use anyway. No problem doing 55 mph up 6% grades and getting anywhere from 5- 8.5 mph depending on how many hills . All while driving a 29' class C and towing a Toyota Camry.522Views0likes0CommentsRe: Banks Power exhaust system
Should receive the 5 star today and they said it has an 87 octane choice when setting it up. Won't be able to give an update on how it works until we get to a place that has internet in a few days. There will be some good hills between here and where were heading so a great test of the system.523Views0likes0CommentsRe: Banks Power exhaust system
Bagman, do you know if you have the Automind tuner or similar programming? Or do they need to install a tuner of some type when ever they install a complete system. I read where the Automind can be added and will help with the shifting issues going up steep hills.228Views0likes0Comments
