Bravo, sir Papaw! That's the way it has been for many years for us. One year I got us a chainsaw for Christmas, and still trusted her with handling the control lever on the wood splitter. After that, all of our gifts were vacations.

Yep I agree with Steve, the air pressure needs to be a minimum of 90psi for the brakes to work properly, also make sure you have enough rpms going to activate the sensors in the transmission to shift
Cheers !!!!

I'm soooo glad I bought a gasser! I understand the basic principles like where to put the gas in and which way to turn the key. To drive a DP you gotta learn a whole new set of rules.
Mel, I hope it is just a patience issue and Murphy will be ok to limp back to Phoenix. If I remember correctly it's mostly downhill from Prescott. Remember this all just character building BS.

Now that's funny. We've had the feeling a few times.

Now Mel, you listen to them folk 'cause I'm thinkin' the same thing.
BTW, what do your gauges say on the dash? One of the periodic tests diesel owners with air brakes should do is to shut down the motor, turn the key back on, and gently pump the brakes several times. When the air drops between 60-65 the low air alarm should come on, and at some point as stated the parking brake button will pop out.
Start the engine and watch the gauges. They should slowly start to rise. If they don't then there is most likely an air leak (kind of big) or the air pump is not working. A big air leak could be heard standing outside walking around the coach.

Wow... Bob surprised the heck out of me this evening. My stone fell out of my engagement ring awhile back. He took it to the jewelers for repair.
Tonight he took me to Beethoven's (which, by the way, Dave, has now marked the Frickadellen [German meat loaf] as Gluten Free... Yippee!), and handed me a wadded up piece of tissue paper... I opened it and couldn't figure out what happened to my ring, it was just the stone and a little bracket on it, I thought... wha? They killed my ring? Then he said it's your stone in a pendant, and so I thought.. they did kill my ring! Then he stood up and dropped to one knee and pulled my ring out of his pocket like he was proposing... and it had a larger diamond in it... like twice as big as the small one I had picked out some... almost 37 years ago...and they put the ribs back into it which time has worn smooth and re-blacked the design curves in it, re-rounded it where it got bent out of shape... basically, restored it to how it looked when new... and he had his matching band fixed and re rounded, and the time worn ribs remade in his and all too! I was speechless! (That's going some if you ask him...LOL!) I'll switch to my phone and post a picture.
