`98 Honda CRV Plastic Trim fade
wildebill308 replied to squiredude's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
I would look at possibly painting it with a paint made for plastics. Prep would be a big part of getting good results. Bill -
First welcome to the forum. Yes you can get a portable Compressor to air up your tiers. The thing to pay attention to when looking is what is it's working pressure and what kind of volume can you get before it is below the pressure you are shooting for in your tire. You probably have run into this before, where you don't have enough difference in air pressure between the pressure in the air compressor and in the tire you are trying to air up. It will take a long time. I have a DEWALT DWFP55126 6-Gallon 165 PSI Pancake Compressor You can get them from Amazon under $130.00. If you really need a 12V unit I recommend the Viair 40047 400P-RV Automatic Portable Compressor Kit also on Amazon $312.95 Let us know if you have questions or what you get. Bill

Finding an overnight site in very small town
wildebill308 replied to QuailPens's topic in Campgrounds
manholt, If you re read what the OP said, carefully, you will note he is not asking about Wallace, ID. Where he lives. He was asking about McCall, ID. My suggestion is based on my opinion that new RV travelers would benefit from having their first experiences camping in a quality full hookup campground would be preferable. I also posted tools to help them find places. The statement "how does one find a good overnight places along the route, especially in small towns?" Made me think they were implying they wanted to stay primarily in small towns. Hence my last reply. However as they haven't answered the questions about destinations and routes. I will leave future answers to your all wise expertise. Bill -
Finding an overnight site in very small town
wildebill308 replied to QuailPens's topic in Campgrounds
Well as you can see the OP hasn't been back since March 13. After re reading, I think a much better search criteria would be "finding great campgrounds on my route" You then take your toad and explore the small towns. I don't think sleeping in a parking lot as a good place to camp. Bill -
With all the variations I would call FLEETWOOD Parts, Service & Technical Support 800-322-8216 They can send you wiring diagrams and tell you where to look. Bill

Yes like that, Don't remember the exact horses right now it was 4 years ago. But highly recommend it if you have any interest in horses. Bill

See this is where having your coach in your signature (see wolfe10) would save time. On what coach? For a emergency repair? or as a permanent repair of a leak or just to get out of doing the repair/replacement of the roof caulk? Bill

You should see Kentucky Horse Park as long as you are in Georgetown. It is part of the Smithsonian and is the home of some famous retired Kentucky Derby winners. They have a neet program where they bring several out and do a presentation about their careers and you can nearly touch the horses you are that close. Really interesting place. Bill

Ok I understand it is easier to sell the new batteries if you have some installed. I don't feel that need to go live like a hermit in the outback. You still need to move so you can dump and refill your water. Back in the 60s when I started camping whe would go on multi week trips to places like the Algonquin Provincial Park in Canada. for a 3 week canoe camping trip with no hookups. Actually I am pretty shure RV stands for Recreational Vehicle. We all Recreate in different ways. Bill

djwest21, welcome to the form. Well that is 2 votes for Nevada Treasures. You ought to send a PM to Punxsyjumper and see if they are still there. Bill

Lets not scare the kids with pictures. Back to the nuts you linked to I would use the ones with a real threaded nut. You can get them in different dimensions (thread size like 10/32) and in the distance from the center of the hole to the folded over part. so you can have more edge distance. They slip over the edge so they don't turn when you are running the screw in. I have only seen the arched flat "nuts" used in a metal holder that was like a strip with several of the "Nuts" slid in a track like strip nutplates. Bill

The clip nuts will work if you arn't realey concerned about strength. Bill

I think they are absolutely marvelous technology. In the last 3 years I have spent exactly one night not hooked up and ran the generator for AC. So explain why I should spend that kind of money? DD how many do you have to sell to make back the cost of your new toys? Bill

Just wondering if the TVs were set up properly and did you do a channel search after each change. Bill

You may be SOL. RV water systems are not made to run at hi preshure. That is why you have to run waterpreshure regulators. This is about as good as you can find. 4 GPM at 55 PSI https://www.pentair.com/content/pentair/en/applications/enjoying-water/rv/water-delivery/4048_high_flow_pump.html Bill

Full timer - Sanitizing fresh water tank
wildebill308 replied to francie1229's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
The big problem with the socialist state of Kalifornia is "do as I say not as I do" Last time I was out there they had a major drought going on. Not one water restriction in place, in fact all the towns along 99 were watering the center and sides of the road. They were on tv moaning about the drought but watering the freeway. Bill -
Carl, in Main, Mcdonalds sells lobster rolls. Bill

Well I don't do the all you can eat places as much but I haven't found a bad place of the ones we have been to in Providence on Federal hill, like Siena, or Camille's. If you want old school try Aunt Carrie's it is a 1920s era clam shack at,1240 Ocean Rd, Narragansett, RI 02882. Bill

This is what the OP said. Hope we hear back from the OP. Bill

I looked it up it is sold by Eternabond, the tape people. Their site wouldn't open the MSDS sheet so I could see what was in it. I just never heard that term used for solvent. Well actually I am qualified to do that type of fiberglass repair. This might be a good idea as it gives the OP some idea of cost and options. My main concern is what did they do to stick the edges down to the plywood sub structure. Will the edges stay down and not separate even with the RVArmor over it. Bill
-
That is amazing. I would bet if you measure the difference between the major manufactuers for this tire the differences in diameter will be more than 1.1inch. Why don't you adjust the stop in your steering so it can't hit the airbag? Bill

Dometic Refrigerator Not Working On Propane
wildebill308 replied to Spooks535's topic in Systems and Appliances
Spooks535, do you have a generator? Have you been able to run it? It probably uses the house batteries so you might be able to use the switch that connects the 2 battery systems together (with the coach running) and start the generator. This will give you the equivalent of shore power. Richard, with out 12V power the gas valve won't open and you won't get any spark from the igniter. Yes just like the water heater if it doesn't ignite after a set number of tries you have to turn the main switch off and try again. Spooks535, Don't try to light the water heater till you have water in the tank, but that is one more thing to try when you get set up. You need 12V for this to.😄 Bill -
I realey don't see that big of a problem. The 275/80 is 1.1 inch taller. It also turns 14 rpm less in a mile. This is handey for comparing tires https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Bill

What is this winterized thing? Bill

Roland, You are leaving just as the weather is improving. We are talking about going back to the Ford Museum on our way East this May. Bill
