Both days were filled with excellent seminars, we all were hustling to cover and attend as many as we could. So we decided to divide and conquer 

Thursday

Now, for a brief review of the best seminars:

Care and Feeding of your Rv tires, Michelin.

Discussion from a field engineer on the care of your tires and to provide instructions on achieving a 10 year life on your tires. 

Excellent layout including construction and longevity of tires. The engineer presented a very good layout. Included steps needed we need to achieve that 10 year life of your tires. At 10 years, replace them.


Cummins Engine Maintenance

Engineering and technical design of the Cummins Engine. 

Did you know the serpentine belt is NOT the color of red, meaning it is NOT a Cummins part. It is the Chassis manufacture part .

Also that there is a lift pump that runs for 30second when you turn on the ignition key prior to turning to start position. This lift pump is use to prime the system.

As a added benefit I am giving you:

225 degrees F, Check Engine light comes on. If you continue to let it claim you will find out about the Red Engine Shut-Down light.

The engine governor RPM is 2600.


A few Photos Ops












Time is running out, with tomorrow being the last day. Our expectation, head-out on Sunday and head eastward toward Bandera, Tx. Stopping along our way to Las Cruces, NM. to dump, take on water and refuel.
