  1. I want every opertunity for on coming cars or passing cars to avoild hitting me, I wouldn't mind a buble light on the roof if I could get away with it. So why would you not want markers lights?
  2. A propane tank should not be filled more than 80%, so at best you have 18lbs, or less to start you trip.
  3. The Flaper moves easyly when putting the gas in -- What I mentioned is a ball - check valve down on the tank - where the flexable filler tube attaches to the tank
  4. On the gas tank (metal) there is a check valve that may be hung up - looks like a flooting ball in the filler neck (to keep gas from splasing out on bumps, and rollovers) You could gently nudge this with a straitened hanger, if this dosn't work you may need to remove the filler hose to inspect and fix close up.
  5. Great job! where did you find the decals? Any info would be greatly apreciated. My SeaBreeze is naked and awaiting new decals
  6. If you don't like to travel = don't buy a motorhome I drove 600 miles, to find my Toy, and then had to come back in 10days to pick up. Make you trip and adventure, but don't buy just because you drove a long way. Have FUN
  7. Carpet would help, but I would think insulating the engine hood might build up engine heat. But maybe the fire wall?
  8. I have completed my recarpet/ flooring -- found it to be realy simple, I removed the seats, then the carpet, and used the old carpet as patern to cut the new carpet (industrial jute backed) the original carpet in the cab was held in place with self tapping sheet metal screws, I srewed the new carpet down, and stapled were the carpet meet the house floor. (replaced with a wood grain vynil 3" x 30") The whole job was about 8 hrs. The part that worred me was the carpet on the walls, well after Linda S's post I removed the carpet from these areas and again used them as a patern and stapled the new on, Also replace my cab headliner. I is amazing how simple our homes are put together, - So just dig in! I was also suprised by the part wall between the cab and home is only 1/4 inch ply. with an air gap of 2 to 3 inches between, open at the bottom, and only covering the gap with carpet. I did not realize how shop wore my original carpet was, glad I replaced,------- but to someone who didn't see the two side by side, you might not know I did anything Thanks for the help with sugestions. It let me know it wouldn't "explode or disinigrate if I touched it Dale 89 SeaBreeze
  9. I replace my own bumper for $99 form ezbodyparts.com Dale
  10. I agree, its time to donate again Dale
  11. Thanks for the info. always easyer and less costly to learn from the who already figured it out.[ Dale
  12. Advice on a 1500 watt inv. I installed a second coach battery (vented and sealed box), bought a 1500 pure sine wave inverter, to install, but when I read the cautions I am not sure if I should install -- heat warnings, and warnings not to set on near anything flamable (dry rv framing, and or carpet?) How do you deal with the heat from the inverter? I do use a roof top mounted 80 watt solar tops up my batterys for night time use, not sure about the auto pilot furnace demand on the batterys ( using a buddy heater instead- but would like to leave one more piece of equipment home) The inverter's need is mainly for 2 CPAP machines, and 1500 is overkill, but I like the option for other use.
