Got the coach ready for the short ride to Dothan this week. Very pleased that after 3 months of dead time, she fired on the first go helped along by some starter fluid. I used a pretty good amount of the Stabil ethanol additive in Dec when I put the coach away for the winter. It seemed to do a great job since I didn't even see any white condensation coming out of the exhaust.
Had 38 or so gallons of gasahol and 12 gallons of pure gas when I filled it up and put it away, plus the stabilizer. Fluids and filters were the name of the game today and a good check of rubber and miscellaneous trouble bolts. All came up good except one low tire and an overbuy on onan oil and filter since I forgot I had done it before our thanksgiving trip and never even used the genny. Stuff looked like it was still in the bottle.
A 40 mile run showed up only one small problem, the rostra cruise opened itself all the way up, stuck open until I hit the brake, and then never came back on. Anyone familiar with this unit going to be in Dothan? I didn't put it in, some I'm a bit wary of messing with it cold. Will check for voltage and see if I can find where it is fused and grounded, but other than that, some helpful hints would be appreciated.
Weather for Dothan is projecting downhill, sadly. But I'm looking forward to being there again.
Thanks,
