Leaking sensor on freshwater tank
wildebill308 replied to craigc51's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
One big step is the prep. Clean rough the surface and clean with acetone. Bill -
Do you have a part number? See if it matches any of these. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mog-ds1215?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-moog-chassis-parts&gclid=Cj0KCQjwitPnBRCQARIsAA5n84k1KUcRc56-xV6f6YN297ME7VESMZ584oD8NMssfc72qVzMM6N7XXwaAkaNEALw_wcB https://www.amazon.com/Moog-DS1277-Drag-Link/dp/B000HPVS9U/ref=asc_df_B000HPVS9U/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312430092407&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=608927801916696976&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002552&hvtargid=pla-571313355836&psc=1 You might find this helpful. https://www.spartanchassis.com/cps/login/UploadedFiles/D9834 IFS1200-1320-1370_3920091033404218750.PDF Bill

I haven't polished the counter tops but I think it wouldn't be that different from polishing fiberglass gel coat. Remember the surface is relatively soft. Here is a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WmVQwkgcMk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtwxR0b7F7I I would use a random orbit polisher to help prevent swirls in the finish.

Water heater on inverter - great test of inverter efficiency
wildebill308 replied to richard5933's topic in Electrical
Building a vent through the door doesn't look that hard. Modifying the compartment to mount the water heater would be more of a problem. That is why I quit trying to make/do conversions. There is enough work just keeping something that was (semi) designed to be a motorhome working. Bill -
I would have just told the dealer rep"Get er done". You have much more leverage to get things fixed before you sign the final paperwork. Bill

I don't think it would be that hard to vent through the door. Bill -

That is what I did and found a bad connection. Bill

For that kind of money I could have upgraded my mobil condo and not be locked into one view out the window.😄 Bill

Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
wildebill308 replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
Wen we were at a rest stop in Indiana this truck parked next to me. Brand new Freightliner rolling chassis. 2 smaller and one tag. What is systemic about quality in the industry is they don't paint or do any corrosion control. Look at the tag frame on the bottom. You can see the splice where they made it longer. Yet to cheap to paint it when done. Bill -
Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
wildebill308 replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
I agree with Herman. This is a day to remember those who gave everything so let's not forget their sacrifice. Bill -
I wouldn't spend money on any of these devices. For one my clearance is to close and I Have only been slightly stuck once in the last 6 years. I got out of that using cat litter for grip. I guess if I get stuck I will test my FMCA roadside assistance. Bill

I don't have enough clearance in my wheel wells for the "truck claws". Bill

No he told me he knew what he was doing.🤣 I have had to fight the mud before in different places. I try to stay away from the snow and ice. Bill

How do they work in mud? Watched someone stick a 40' Tiffin yesterday he backed diagonally across the graveled area on his site and got in some soft stuff. The tred filled up and he couldn't get traction. I was out walking the dog and asked if he needed help and was told "No he knew what he was doing" So I just kept walking the dog. I might have learned something. They were stacking 2X6s to make 4X6s across in front of the tires that were 4-6 in down in the mud. Surprisingly the coach wouldn't climb out even with the throttle wide open. Bill

So Sorry for your loss. Lets see if we can figure out how not to do that again. Bill
-
I am not sure. I know it is the best I have found since I had access to milspec stuff. I use it on all the pins and pin holes in the towbar and any other place I need a dry film lube. Bill
-
I would use the dry film lube from John Deer. Bill
-
They have them on Amazon. Bill

This is the way I have done it in the past. 1) Close the tank valve on the coach so you don't empty the RV tank. 2) Use the external tank through the extend a stay when camping. You can always take the external tank and refill it if needed. 3) when on the road use the on board tank. I don't think you can refill the onboard tank effectively using a extend a stay tank. Bill

Looking for tire shop, diesel service recommendations in Mesa AZ
wildebill308 replied to lafery's topic in Chassis
Welcome to the forum. Is it a private sale or did you buy it from a dealer? The first thing I would do is look at the FMCA tire discount program. I used it last year to save over $600.00 over the discount price for Michilans by buying Continentals. You can call and find tire dealers in your area. https://www.fmca.com/rv-tires-discounts What diesel do you have? What do you need done? Bill -

I don't know what you plan on towing, but if you stay within the guidelines I don't see a problem. Welcome to the forum. Bill
