Re: Need rotors for SMC M-series "Blue Max" chassis

I ended up getting the Centric non-cryo rotors from RockAuto.com and they were far and away the cheapest in price and shipping. In fact, the nearest cryo version price were 3 times as much. Someone had replaced the pads before I bought the coach in August 2020 as they were still 50% life left but I ...

Re: CAT 3126B air filter change intervals - NOT what you may think

Well, the inflation factor has played a role in air filter prices for sure. Just checked the Napa Gold 6857 is now $355.99 for my '01 Zanzibar. That's an expensive "have one ready on hand" part. Today, I did some digging and found that Wix filters has a cross reference for the Donaldson P5...

Re: Need rotors for SMC M-series "Blue Max" chassis

Hi John,

Thanks for the link. Are the part numbers for a particular manufacturer or are they SMC?

Re: salesman switch

Ah, yes..."under the bed". That is where I learned there are some electronics for my '01 Zanzibar! Had a blown fuse under there where the refrigerator would not work, the vent fans would not work (and something else, don't remember). Drove me crazy hunting until another SF member said...&q...

Need rotors for SMC M-series "Blue Max" chassis

Hello Safarifriends, Been awhile since I have posted. Hope everyone is doing well! Just got the bad news that the rotors are cracked on both sides of the coach. Tried a couple of places including Hendersons in Grants Pass, OR which I would have to drive there. Too far and too far a wait (June). Stri...

Mt. Rushmore and surrounding area. Beautiful. Some very nice RV parks in that area too.

Safe and issue-free travels to you.

Re: Four Horns

I have only two horns but it certainly gets people’s attention. People wonder where the freight train is after they get their heart back out of their throats. Rarely have to use, but they are nice to keep loaded; like some other “tool” that comes to mind if you catch my drift.
