I went with a wireless about 4 years a go and have been happy with it. I mounted the sending unit under the rs bed and have the montor mounted on my driver visor. My camera is mounted on the top step of the ladder pointed down. :D

Spare tire and overheating

Someone pointed out that with the spare tire mounted in front of the radiator they had not even noticed any change in the temp. Gage. I wish to point out that you would not see any change in less the engine was overheating. It is important to realize that fords" gage" in our coaches is onl...

I too have had this problem. Mine spread apart about 3/4 inch before I repaired it. I took a 3/8 steel plate about 2' by 18" and used this to reinforce the floor area where the gen. Bolts through the floor. This is all hidden under the couch and the carpet. This has spread the load out and has ...

I needed a jack but didn't want to take up storage space so I purchased a hyd. Jack and built a small alum. Frame under the coach just behind the passages door and put the jack and handle along with a steel plate for the jack to sit on if the jacking surface was soft. This is all inside a waterproof...

Update

After almost one year with the Jack installed I must report I am very, very disappointed. The reception is very poor unless you are right on top of a station. In towns it works well but if not I get nothing. Would not recommend it to anyone.

Having done this trip 2 years ago I would have no question about which to do. TAKE the old coach. If you do all the roads and see the best of Alaska you will be glad many times over that you are not in your new coach. I seriously wondered if I should have rented and not taken my coach but we had suc...

I have been using my jack for about 4 months and have also been very disappointed . I live in the mountains and have traveled mostly in SC. Va.Tn. And NC and have never gotten much coverage. At home where I know what I could receive with the old delta antena there is not much difference. If anything...

Jack installed

FYI.. Just finished installing the complete Jack antenna on my 2001rsb. I like it a lot . I installed it on the slope in the same hole as the delta. The hole had to be enlarged, I chose to drill it out to a 2 1/8 hole. The roof is only 1" thick so it was close but worked well. The instruction s...

Jack

Nancy thanks fo the great pictures. They are exactly what I needed to see. It looks like they mounted it on the sloped part of the roof and did not level it and you said it worked awesome .

Being level as I understood it from KING personal is important because if it is not then half the time in the 360 rotation it will be pointing downward and not at the sky. On our born free coaches I think that means that when it is pointed toward the rear then there would be a very weak spot. This w...
