5-Star tune on our 2011 Winnebago Access Premier 31P was worth maybe 1.25 MPG. More importantly, 15mph over Raton Pass!
Gale Banks has been building race cars and tuning things since the 60's, has been building turbos for things like the Seals and such since the 70's. Never heard of 5 Star until this thread....
no doubt but there are many things they dont develop...just sell. For instance... his long tube headers cost as much as a custom set of Kooks. But he uses thinner tubing, flanges, and off shore production. His diesel tuner programmers are rebadged SCT units.
Wow, I love the knowledge on here. Never heard of 5 star either. Just shows to go ya, once you have a good reputation, if it's more profitable to outsource, you often do it.
I first heard about 5-Star when I had my ill-fated Mustang GT. Their tune woke it up. When I learned they had a tune for our V-10 Class C, I jumped on it.
And in the RV forums world, 5 Star is the place to go. Have heard of many praises, and few complaints for at least 6 or 7 years.
That's funny because that sounds exactly like Banks but for a longer period Not surprised it changed tho, RV peeps are cheaper than racers.
Could there be a worse time to buy an RV? Wait until after Labor Day and they’ll all be much cheaper when people are contemplating selling vs paying for storage all winter.
I've not found my unicorn yet, just a bunch of donkeys with paper towel rolls taped to their foreheads. And I know this isn't prime time for buyers but I still look at the ads just in case...
This one came up on a FB local buy/sell site. Seems a little pricey but it’s nice. I don’t know the owner but live near by. There is another one (different site)locally too, 05 31ft Shasta equally nice, and a better buy imo. If you’re interested I can post another link. https://m.facebook.com/groups/638721222943137?view=permalink&id=1021585817990007&rt=11&ref=bookmarks
Looks like a closed group so I can't see the posting? Shasta only makes trailers I thought, haven't come across any fun mover style RVs with Shasta branding in my searches yet?
I forgot they are a closed group. Not sure how to link it another way. You can join, then unfollow afterwards though. That site does have some interesting finds at times.
So @Pigman what is yours and how much are you asking. I had one before and didn'r get to use it, other than taking Ty from Road America to home after his accident. I really liked it and wish I could have afforded to keep it, but needed to get rid of that payment while putting the kids through college.
