WME

Just installed a 100w Windy City setup for a friend on his trailer. We flat mounted the panel on the roof, ran the wires down refer vent. Mounted the controller near the 12v converter and hooked the controller output to the converter output lugs. That way we did not have to make a long run of wires for thr 12v. Went out this week end and for the first time they did not have worry about running out of power.

There's a pinned post about this in the engine, transmission, suspension section

Wy has many cell phone dead spots, that's just the way it is. Every year someone will follow their GPS into oblivion on a road thats closed for winter

I'm rebuilding my 64 Chevelle and have run out of room. Toyota stuff, yours for the postage. 86 stock speedo 58,000 mi, worked when I swapped it for an SR-5 speedo Small dia, black Energy Suspension leaf spring bushings (4). No matter what bushing kit you get its wrong!! Energy sent me the right ones for my rig and these are left. First come, first served.

I removed mine on my Escaper, no problems other than much better brakes

Go to Walmart and get a can of Super Tech carb cleaner, use the extension tube and blast all the bolt holes. It cleans good and doesn't leave a film. Metal wp gasket ? that's a new one on me. Does it have a rubber bead on it? If it does use it DRY.

I'm sorta old fashion and stuck in my ways. On gaskets I us a product called Gasketchinch. I would use it on the water pump and a little grease on the block side of the gasket. . This will easy removal of the water pump in the future. NEVER USE IT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE GASKET. Use Loctite 242 on the bolts if you want. It will allow removal with hand tools

Get an AC polarity checker from a hardware store and check your house and Rv outlets. Some time if you have a GFCI outlet in the RV it will cause problems by having 2 GFCI in series

90% of the time the problem with a 22r starter is the contacts. There several companies that offer contactor rebuild kits, $15-$25. So if you have enough talent to remove a starter you should be able to redo the contacts.

The flooring I used is from Belgium and is almost a 1/4" thick. You use NO adhesive. The instructions call for 1/4" gap around all edges. The floor floats and the edge of the molding hides the gap. The temp inside today was 100+ and the floor is still flat. Winters accumulation of sale stuff. Carpet gone, starting layout Molding installed Bathroom Done

Aluminum is stronger than brass, so they can make the tubes wider. So maybe 3 row rated isn't to far off. Normal brass tubes are around 1/2" wide. Look through the fins with a light and see how wide the tubes are.

If the timing belt is still installed, use a socket and a ratchet and turn the engine from the crankshaft. If the belt is off find all the timing marks on the cam sprockets and then turn with a socket and ratchet. Return timing marks to alignment and install timing belt.

Check out Eastwood.co for anti rust stuff.

If you think Fram is ok, then go for it. I won't use one of them. Examples $$ Filter area end cap Fram $4 193 sq" paper Wix $5 349 sq " steel Purolator $3 316 sq " steel

Well it was time to remove 20 year old carpet and install new vinyl locking flooring. Things learned, the rumors of a million staples in the carpet are wrong, there were only 250,000. I think the installer was paid by the staple and not by the hour. Carpet in the bathroom is a bad idea, removing 20 year old bathroom carpet is almost as bad of an idea. RVs are not square so there was a lot of trimming the flooring to get straight lines for the next row to lock correctly. After 3 days it was worth it, the hand scraped Oak flooring looks great.

Its not so much that Fram is a melt your motor bad filter, its that there much better filters available.

No likey Fram.

Yep same thing

Its been said (often) that there are no bad motor homes, only bad previous owners. Find a good one and never mind the model. The big thing is v-6 vs I-4 and even that is dependent on maintenance.

Well you don't show the full sender harness, but it looks like 3 wires on the Toy unit. On some toys the 3rd wire goes to a low fuel light

There are some other crawlers in the background of the last photo. Wonder what they were saying/thinking?

Victory is at hand.

The B&M plate cooler have a built in "low temperature bypass".
