To Monitor or Not To Monitor: Tire Pressure Systems
hermanmullins replied to andyshane's topic in Buying an RV
John, Check with one of the truck tire companies. There are spacers out there for your wheels. However be sure you have enough thread on your wheel studs for the added spacers. Herman- 6 replies

Sorry Brett, I was working with 220 volt machines. By the way one of the machines was a Towel Folding Machine. Flat towel in French folded towel out and stacked. Herman

biz, I don't know if there are any left out there but there was a power system called Delta. I know years ago they had it in Amarillo, TX, On a unit I had repaired several time, I checked the power. 285 volts. I thought my meter was bad and called the power company. He said yep, 285 volts. We had to add capacitor to all the units to take the surge that would drop to 180 up 290 volts at any given time. Lots of parks will have a power rise in the evening when every one turns off all there stuff. Sound to me like your surge protector is doing its job. Good Luck Herman

JB, Welcome to the Forum. Is your GMC 4 wheel drive? If so yes. Your suburban will have a steering wheel lock and you would need to leave the key in the first position. It is also heavy enought to require a auxilary braking system, a braking system should be on all toads. Herman

DD, was that hard to wire? Did it come with a wireing diagrahm? Herman

DD, Did you set them to come on with the ignition key? Herman

Federal Taxes - Second Home
hermanmullins replied to QuiGonJohn's topic in Laws and Legislative Action
You can deduct mortage interest from your homestead and one more. The second may be a boat, RV, Lake house or farm house. One of the stipulations is that the second home must be liveable. That is it must be able to cook, live and Bath in it. Now before others jump in and say different, this has been my understanding for the last 20 years. I have never been audited for the deduction and my taxes have been done by a CPA. Hope this helps. Herman -
Interior Speakers in 2008 Melbourne 29D
hermanmullins replied to MikeMarie's topic in Type C Motorhomes
On most new coaches the dealer does a walk around and explains everything, (That is everything he knows). It is always a good thing to carry a recorder so you can go back over what was said but you may have missed. On most surround systems there has to be a source for input, amp and speakers. A call to the mfg. for each component might clear up confussions. When all else fails call the coach mfg. get the engineer on the phone and ask how it works. Herman -
DD that sound good. Does it have an alarm that can be set for the Freezer and Refrigrator temps? Herman

Just remember that when the key is on for power to the Accessorie outlet you will be racking up miles on the Toad. I always recommend that auxilary power be run fom the coach to power the brake. This way you never have a dead battery and you will not be racking up miles. Herman

Bassman, Wow, a Fish & Ski with a 330 cat and Allison 6 speed. Great, what does the coach have?. Welcome to the Forum, nice coach. Herman

hd, Welcome to the Forum. Google RV Salvage. Check there and I will bet you find a rim at one of them. Herman

Age Old Question: When to Stop RVing
hermanmullins replied to MarYJac04's topic in General Discussion
MaryJac. I to am your age. Like Brett said, you and only you can and will know when it's time to give it up. I still feel like I can do most anything I have ever done. However, now when I have to get down for something, I look around to see if there is anything else I need to do before I get up. At our age we can take a little longer and see more then we have. Good Luck Herman -
Residental Refrigerator Problems?
hermanmullins replied to sammebuck's topic in Systems and Appliances
Can everyone say grease and a shoe spoon? Good Luck Herman -
api, 1 inch may not sound like a lot but it will effect both your spedo and you mileage. I also believe you will have a softer ride with the 80's, just my opinion. Good Luck and do look at FMCA Michelins program. Herman

Yes Andy I have replaced quite a few resistor in autos. And it was right there in plain sight on the right side firewall in the plenum. Is your between the plenum and wall in your entrance under the dash? If so it may be a job removing not only the foam but the screws also. Good luck and be careful. Herman

Back when I was in the boating industry we had a problem with one boat. It came with 16 gallon tank. They decided to go with a 18 gallon tank the next year. In doing this they made it where the fuel would have to go up to get into the tank.Before the year was out they had to replace every boat that they put the 18 gal. tank in. Does your tank have a short neck that goes straight into the tank or is there a bend in the fill neck? If it has a bend then there might be the problem. One thing is that diesel will foam and can stop the auto fill til the foam recedes.

key, Welcome to the Forum. Have you considered a storage unit that is covered? Herman

Tell me about it Jack. I just removed our CRT and replaced it with a 32" Vizio. I cut my cabnit back 7" and reinstalled every thing. Removeing the old CRT should improve my MPG with that reduction in weight. Herman

2012 Holiday Rambler With Surround Sound Home Theatre DVD?
hermanmullins replied to greybeard101's topic in Type A motorhomes
I just reworked my TV Cabinet and my old TV had Audio R & L out that went to my VCR/DVD player. I had sound from the surround sound only when I had the VCR/DVD player on. My new TV doesn't have the Audio R&L out lets. But hey I'm deaf in one ear and can't hear out of the other so surround sound sound the same to me as anything else. Herman -
denali, Also I am sorry for your first Rally experiance. Might I suggest that from the home page you go to Chapters then to International. Take a look at come of the Canadian Chapter. You may find one close to you and you can visit one of their Rallies. A Chapter Rally is the way to start with the FMCA experiance. Try sending an email to Al Vormittag, International Area Vice President. avormittage@fmca.com. Al should be able to help. Good Luck and Stay with us. Herman

Norcold 1200 Refrigerator Failure
hermanmullins replied to carlpeterson's topic in Systems and Appliances
dd69, Do you think that it might have been the brand of refrigerator? I only ask because many folks installed residential units that work fine. Is there a way to tell on the unit if it uses MS waves. Herman
