What did you do with your Bus today

[1984Lodge]

I think it all depends on how you travel and where you like to stop for fuel. I am a working stiff, so most of the time I am running the interstate and I refuse to fight traffic to get into a walmart gas station, it would take ten years off my life! I like the TSD card because it does typically bring the truck stop prices close to regular station prices and its easy in and out with a bus and trailer.
We have a separate bank account used just for the TSD. When we know we are going to get fuel we transfer money to that bank account. I have not heard of any issues with personal security with the TSD card.

Replaced three 120v 30amp relays under the bed false floor that were buzzing so loud they were driving me crazy. Quiet now.

To be honest I didn’t think to look. Do we have a list of what brand of tires are included in the program?

Jim nice work. Can you share the info on the bags you upgraded to? Much appreciated.

[Jim Brookshire]

The new air bags are Goodyear 1R12-555. The 12 is supposed to be the effective diameter. The ones I removed were 1R11.

Everything fit well. But the new bags had threaded nut inserts instead of studs except for the air inlet and the bottom is composite instead of a combination of steel and aluminum. Also be aware that the bottom can be rotated to line up the bolt holes (don’t ask how i about freaked out thinking they would not fit).
