    And you'll see them in all A, B & C Class motorhomes and campers.

    A vet? I think there are camping facilities on many bases.

    I assume a 5-speed swap involves a flywheel swap too. Is this possible with the engine in place? If possible, would it not be just as easy (or easier) to pull the engine?

    Immediately after reading this post, I looked and saw no photos. Now I do. Problem sorted?

    That would simply lead to 2 massive threads with good stuff lost in them. I'd just like to encourage people to group all their 'fluff' here (oil changes, beer drinking, etc) but start a separate thread for more 'meaningful' (hard to define) accomplishments. An example that comes to mind would be Karen's Sunrader 'build'.

    Oddly enough, I've been thinking (since this thread started 23 pages ago) exactly the same thing. There's so much good 'stuff' posted along with the fluff. But I know I'll never go back and read them all to find it. Finding the correct search terms might find it. Or not.

    I believe Vanman was stay on-topic and referring to the MH in post #1.

    Multiple thin coats over a spotless surface. Any dirt/stains will be sealed under the (relatively) thick ZEP.

    If I was looking for a shop to make mods like you are, I'd ask guys driving jacked up, modded offroad Toyotas. It's not every mechanic who's used to making stuff not originally installed work together.

    Apparently twice as well as before! I've no idea what to look for as far as changes go with the 'upgrade'. So far I see none.

    Is this thing working again or am I talking to myself?

    Could be legit if the seller set his price using the NADA book.

    In my case, not so much "not accepting" messages (which implies a conscious decision) as having a full inbox (50 messages). Perhaps Greg's is full too. And perhaps the upgrade will allow more.

    Tip #1:- Buy a multimeter.
  16. Derek up North
    No.

    I've found that humanoid olefactory sensors are as reliable as anything else.

    It's in the Yahoo Group 'Files'. A pity the 'journalist' who wrote the article didn't ask how much the slide added to the weight.

    Though I don't own a plane, I do have 3 chainsaws, 2 generators, 2 lawnmowers, 3 snowblowers, a leafblower and an edge trimmer. No catalytic converters on any of them.

    ... and under vacuum. Hard to replicate at home.

    Huge tires with sagging springs might lead to tires rubbing. Best check for clearance 1st.

    You've gt to be realistic and not expect 3000Btuh to heat as well as 16000Btuh.

    Lest we forget, there are 2-pinion and 4-pinion differentials available.

    SOA is going to give you a (relatively) massive* lift at the rear with no way to get anything near the same lift at the front. * ~ Diameter of the axle + thickness of spring pack + mounting.
  25. Derek up North
    Umm, it might just be a typo. 1600lb perhaps?
