Thanks Dwight, I enjoyed talking to you today. I now have the confidence to tackle this window job. Have a great day! Sincerly, Wayne & Deborah

For the first time ever on any of my motorhomes, I have three large & one small double glass window fogged badly. My local glassworks will repair them only if I remove them from the coach. My wife & I would like to tackle this job & any ideas or recommendations will be appreciated. I am assuming that after I remove all of the screws from the inside, I will need to run some sort of thin blade around the exterior to break the seal. They are double pane sliding glass windows. Any ideas of what type of sealer will be needed to reinstall said windows. Would it be simpler to install new windows than to have these repaired ? Also, my rig is not under a cover, therefore the hole will need to be covered during the process. I thought about using some type of plastic sheathing with duc tape around the perimiter. I'm reasonably sure it will take at least two people to remove & install the windows.

I usually carry a top & bottom radiator hose, a bypass coolant hose and ten feet of both heater hoses. All of the hoses on my 454 Chevy gas engine are fairly easy to get to after a lengthy cool down of the engine. Also I carry one of each type/size bulb for interior & exterior lights.

I feel your pain. I once had the balance weights fly off of a drive shaft in a 1982 Pace Arrow. I took the driveshaft to a local driveshaft shop. They installed new balance weights, balanced the shaft & only charged me $35.00. That probably sounds cheap, but it was done fifteen years ago.

I've owned three class A motorhomes during the last twenty years & the best bang for money spent on handling was replacement of the rubber swaybar bushings with polyurethane. They also usually come with grease fittings to keep that annoying sqeak from appearing when they age.

Thanks Tom for serving our country in Viet Nam!

I've read scores of recommended tire pressures for motorhomes from numerous websites. Most all of them seemed to make sense when I was reading them. I own a 1995 Fleetwood Southwind 33' motorhome. Six months ago I had a new set of Goodyear tires model G670RV installed. The size being 225/70R 19.5, load range "F" with a sidewall maximum of 95 psi cold. The tires were purchased at and installed by CamperWorld in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. These people are a large full service operation & they sell & install hundreds of tires every year. They set the tire pressure at 95 psi on my tires. When I questioned the service manager, he told me to maintain 95 psi in each tire no matter what weight the motorhome was if I expected the warranty to be honored in case of failure. From what I have read & heard for years this gentleman is incorrect. Regardless, I have maintained 95psi in the new tires. The tires appear to be wearing evenly & the rig handles exceptionly well. I'm perplexed somewhat that a dealer does not follow the pratices of the majority of the tire experts across the country.

Thanks for the info. I'm assuming the attached website is the correct one. http://www.wilsonelectronics.com/?gclid=CJ...CFdRU2godaDPMEw

With the help of two very nice gentlemen associated with this website, my wife & I adjusted the autopark brake shoes on our motorhome today. It's working fine & we are ready to hit the road again. Thanks FMCA for being here when we needed you.

My 1995 Fleetwood Southwind 33' motorhome is my only avenue to a relaxing freedom like none other. That is a true statement except when the autobrake fails. On a trip last year the brake came on while I was traveling at sixty miles per hour down the road. A $400.00 repair consisting of two switches at the control box under the home got me going again. On a trip last weekend the the brake quit completely. I had to chock the wheels to keep the home from rolling down a grade. I'm not sure what the problem is this time. My main problem with all of these autobrake problems is the expense to have them repaired. I live on a fixed income & the money spent on these brake problems could be spent on gasoline or campsite fees.
