Mike, Sorry, I have called them spring pins and have also heard them called Pivot Bolts. Anyway, they will probably be a PITA to remove and the bushings are not easy either. Get yourself some big sturdy c-clamps and use to push out the bolts and bushings. Put a socket over the bolt head to give it some place to go as it pushes out. You may have to cut out the bushings using a hack saw blade, remember they have been in there a while! Good Luck

The Energy Suspension bushings are great and you'll probably never need to replace them. My son and I built a 4Runner rock crawler and used their bushings all around. One piece of advice is to use the supplied grease generously. Those bushings can make an awful screeching sound. Even better is, if you have to replace the spring pins, to get new ones that are drilled out to accept grease (I have not tried these but will be on the list when I replace the MH bushings). I believe the folks at Northwest Off Road Specialties could help. www.northwestoffroad.com

As graduates from many years of tent camping and restricted to what we could keep on ice we have found the ability to have ice cream in camp is one of the best things about motor home camping.

It is a Bussman "Short Stop" Circuit Breaker. My 91 Itasca had three in the battery box and one of them was broken. I ordered all three from www.wiringproducts.com and if I remember I paid about $5 - $6 a piece. Make sure you get the same mount and amperage as you have. I also replaced all of the ring connectors. Good Luck Paul

This age discrimination thing is very interesting. We have camped in our 91 Itasca all over the southeast, never an extended stay, but have never run into any issues concerning an older RV. Could you explain the reason that an older RV is not allowed. We have stayed in campgrounds that allow extended stay and have noticed campers, especially trailers, that are very old but road worthy. That would seem to me as the only criteria for not allowing an old camper to stay in a campground.
