You're lucky! There usually are not quick answers on this thread.

Not me!

Escapees in Livingston will forward mail, and more.

I think it is because if the community followed the guidelines, we did, they would not catch covid. Long discussion topic, eh?

My coach is on a Freightliner chassis and I had basically the same problem - would blow hot air. I finally found a Freightliner dealer that added dye and looked for leaks. They found the leaks at the fittings. Replaced and fixed. As Ken stated, be cool, take it to a professional. It is not worth the aggravation you will go through by yourself and possibly never find the cause.

Carl, I made Oyster Stew in the Instant Pot a little while ago. It was delicious. I'll trade recopies with you for the seafood gumbo!

yUmmm!

TSD TSD TSD!

The Teepee has an open top for smoke to escape from the open fire. More modern ones have a flap. Just don't build the open fire next to the edge!!

Space heater inside the Teepee!

Uh huh! A couple of times!!

I have that picture!

My 1972 Chevy Sportvan 20 camper. Description in who what where when

I was going to post this in Picture of the Day but decided not to flood that thread, so here. In 1974 I owned a 1972 Chevy Sportvan 20, equipped by TravCo with a pop up roof. The pop-up was supported by 4 corner pilars of tubing and was definitely a mechanical muscle to open. There were canvas sides all around and two side zippered screen opening for cross air. The back table dropped down to make a bed, similar to today's bench seat tables. Above that were two sets of aluminum tubing with canvas between the rails where the kids slept. Had a gas furnace that was absolutely great.. I one cubic foot refrigerator, a single opening kitchen sink with a hose connection on the outside for drainage of grey water. The toilet was a square box with a padded lid on it that doubled as a seat, and inside was a toilet set and a 5 gallon bucket. You most definitely used chemical smell 'em goods in the bucket. Emptying the bucket was at any toilet facility, gas station or park toilet. Powered by a Chevy 350 engine. Kept it from 1974 to 1979, sold it to my brother for $1500 as I was going overseas on military duty for 3 years. Came back in 1982 and bought it back from him for $1000. He took good care of it. Came to Texas in 1984 and sold it to an engineer working at NASA. He lived in it full time on the Texas City Dike. Last I saw of it a few years later there was a lot of rust and derelict looking condition sitting on the Dike. I think the city finally towed it away. Ah! The good old days. Forgot to mention. Everything ran off of 12 volts. Two batteries, Service and House with Diode isolator to keep service battery from being used. Alternator charged both when van running.

Sweet!

My driveway slopes and I have to run up on 3 sets of 2 x 12's with 3/4 plywood added to each. Still leaves me with 1 degree or a little more. I can't put the front jacks down because that is where the slope is. I put my 23' slide and the two other slides out all the time when we are loading and unloading. We have a commercial refrigerator and we have not had a problem putting the slides out.

Same same as releasing the lines at the jacks would release the pressure and should be able to get the jacks up, then secure them with "somthing!" Lot easier than removing all the jacks! Removing the jack they would still have to remove the lines...me thinks. TT, what's the present situation? Have you found a cure/replacement yet? Oops! saw where you will be replacing the pump mechanism with tank.

If you know their name you can log into the member's section and put it in the search pane.

My preferred route would be I-84 to Sturbridge and then pick pick up US-20 for 13 miles to I-290 to I-495 and to I-95. The 13 or so miles on Route 20 would be no big deal, or I-84 to Sturbridge and pick up I-90 to 495. Save a few tolls. Not a lot of "good" campground in CT or MA on either route. (I-80 to I-81 to I-84 and onward.

I spent the first 18 years of my life in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, but it was an accident of birth!! Personally I'd avoid the Mass Pike and pick up I-84 through CT to Sturbridge then maybe US-20 to 9 and to Framingham. I have not been on 20 or 9 in many years. Stop and go for sure.

I was wondering also why the jacks were taken. Releasing the hydraulic lines on the jacks, they could be pushed up manually and then tied in place until a pump is installed.

Set yourself a reminder on your phone or computer to check the gauge, say every two weeks or depending on how frequently you use it. If it gets down to half - start looking for a place to fill it. Here's a funny for us. We purchesed our present MH in Oct 2017 and it has a 28 gal propane tank. It was full. Just this last time we took it out a couple months ago it was 3/4 full. Guess we don't eat in that much. Only thing we have in on the MH is a 3 burner gas stove.

The extend-a-stay is definitely a plus. A 20 pound bottle should get you through until you can fill up. You can call the RV parks taht you will be staying at to see if they have a filling station. Some only fill bottle, others fill permanent tanks on the RV. If they have a filling station ask if it is accessible going into the park, or coming out of the park. If it is going in, fill up before you get to your space. If it is on the way out, either circle around or wait until you are departing. My last MH the tank was on the passenger side. This present MH it is on the driver side. I'll also do a satellite view to see if I can find where the filling station is, or use their site map which typically depicts a propane filling station. Happy trails.

Congratulations Herman and may good things be with you in the endeavor.

Try talking to the lady that says roughing it is no Walmart near by!! Not for boondocking - she doesn't boondock!
