  1. I have heard of this method before but never used it. I will be trying it in the near future as I still have some of the stainless tiles to be installed in the bathroom. The beauty looks like it can be applied right over the mirrors, this will eliminate the need for removing them.
  2. Carl, those Alligators also love dogs, Lucky has the right name if they didn't come after him. LOL
  3. Have you checked the place where the hose attaches to make sure no mud daubers or some other varmit may have built a nest and caused a restriction? The valve that you attach to in my bus has a three way valve, right is city, down is actually off, and left for tank fill, though not all are alike so just a thought to make sure there is not another position for your valve.
  4. How about brushed stainless steel cut and broke to fit. I used a brushed stainless steel sheet behind the stove, its attached with a urethane mastic, been there 5 years now and looks very good. Also there is plastic laminate, Formica, is a brand, there are others. Many styles and colors to choose from, and contact cement if properly applied will not let go, no seams to fill if you go this route. E-mail me if you need instructions for application, you know what I did for a living for 21 years before computers.
  5. The designation UTV stands for "utility terrain vehicle" for anyone that wants to know what it means. And many of these actually come from the factory street legal, and can be tagged in most states as a low speed vehicle, and if it is tagged low speed vehicle, it can be driven on any public road that is 35 MPH or less, it does not have to run at that speed to qualify.

    FRED's

    I have taken rides in the new super C's and they are much quieter than the Freds.
  7. Bob's Used RV's Sales & Parts Inc High Springs FL Here is a pretty good one just off I-75 60 miles below the Georgia line. They have a large assortment, as they get most of the RV's that die on the way into Florida. They don't have a website, just paste the line above into Google search line, it will bring up yellow page info including phone# and address.
  8. I was about to make the same suggestion but I type too slow. 0 to 230? 230 is extremely high, or is this a typo, if it is correct, your air governor needs immediate attention.
  9. RV sales/repair facilities in the area may be an option also. I Googled this and found several at or near Vero Beach.
  10. Sports illustrated calendar probably would be ok with Joe, but I can just picture Ronnie Now!
  11. That's correct Joe. For tax avoidance purposes, Montana has very low tax liability.
  12. The description in the OP leads me to believe that there is an excitation problem, especially since it is intermittent and seems to be happening with the fact that the chassis engine and the generator starting close together. I don't know the model of your generator which would be helpful in looking up technical info, but the code is telling you there is either low or no output voltage, the genset will auto shutdown with this condition. Low or no excitation can be caused by, a faulty control board, a loose connection between the control board and the brushes "if your genset" has them, a problem with the brushes properly seating on the armature at startup, a bad or burned spot on the commentator, or even weak voltage in the starting battery. My first place to try to eliminate would be the battery, simply remove the generator from the current battery source and hook it to a known good battery, with new battery cables. This of course will eliminate cables, battery source, and possible loose grounds before the generator. If the problem persist after this has been achieved, then a competent repair facility should be engaged.
  13. Unless things have drastically changed on Florida license plate cost since I lived there, why would anyone want to go to an LLC? The cost of the plate is by class in Florida as opposed to value such as it is in Alabama and some other states. Plus with a Florida plate, you are entitled to half price camping at any Florida state park.
  14. Brett, that is the correct one, it's stainless over ceramic, and is applied just like any ceramic tile, I used gray grout with very high polymer so that it doesn't crack and fall out, I used a common ceramic wet saw to cut to the proper size. Joe, home depot has a product that looks just like those old tin ceiling tiles, but is made of plastic, and lowes has one that is on a roll that looks like wallpaper until put up with wall paper supplies and can be painted to your favorite color before hanging. My nephew used this on an entire feature ceiling and it looks great. The wallpaper product is in the wallpaper section at Lowes, and don't forget to use the paper glue that is made for bathroom and wet/moist area's. Herman, the shards are really a mess because the mirrors are tempered, after the first one removed I used your method and that works very well, but I had to cover one mirror at a time so that I could get the putty knife behind the individual mirrors.
  15. Joe, I am replacing the mirrors in my coach with stainless steel tiles, bought them at Lowes, they come in one foot square backing. They are brushed stainless and look very professional. These can be attached to the wall with urethane adhesive then grouted with your favorite color. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Stainless-Steel-Brick-Mosaic-Metal-Wall-Tile-Common-12-in-x-12-in-Actual-9-76-in-x-11-73-in Also if you remember my bathroom, I used mirrored stainless steel in there and we love the fact that there is no glass to crack.
  16. The Florida laws are about the same as most places, but the enforcers are less tolerant to law breakers.
  17. That red dye in the off road won't easily come off of your hands either. Keon, my little story under this same thread happened in Florida, I lived there 12 years too long, and will tell you that if you don't like the laws in Maryland, you will hate them in Florida.
  18. This is the one that I have warned about in many posts, the DOT has the right to pull anything on wheels over for an inspection at anytime that they wish to do so, and in any state. Such a shame that this happened to anyone that is not guilty of charges leveled against them, but it is the responsibility of the driver to be aware of laws that exist, and follow them to the best of their knowledge. Yes I have heard of these random checks which brings to mind an incident when I lived in Florida. My two daughters one 14, the other 5 at the time, went to Alabama to purchase a large Collie dog, beautiful animal. We were traveling in a cargo van that I used for work back then, it was not customary then for this type van to stop for ag., or weigh stations. One of the workers at the ag station decided to chase me down and proceeded to chew me out. He demanded that I open the rear doors and display my cargo, it was after sunset sp he shined his bright flashlight into the van, all that was there was empty space, and three sets of eyes. He bid me good night and told me in the future that I needed to stop at his station.
  19. Here is a smartphone app that will actually send you a text message if the power fails. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.sjbcomputerconsultants.powercut.free&hl=en You can go to the website and see video instructions. I'm reasonably sure that there is a temperature monitoring app out there as well, just haven't looked for it. A very simple way to insure that you always get messages is to install a UPS "uninteruppted power source" and plug the messaging system into it.
  20. What about that soap scum that never disappears.LOL
  21. Tannehille state park is 15 miles southwest of Birmingham, six miles below I-459 on I-20/I-59. Very nice campground, has about 60 full service and over 300 water and electric only. It's located about 5 miles off of I-20/I-59. They do not take reservations, but this time of year you will not need one, if senior citizen, full hookup is about $25.00 per day. I live within 10 miles of the park and will help in providing an adequate parking space. If my help is needed, post it here or PM me, I can provide cell # and be glad to help.
  22. If the body is fiberglass, a good two part epoxy will probably work well, can be found at almost any autopart store. Simple to use just follow directions with the product.
  23. Wayne and Keon, you guys are bringing back too many fond memories, I loaded a barn roof back in the early 90's and worked 7 countries on 20 meters. 73
  24. If you have a cable TV hookup in the Entegra, you can use the cable lead from the outside to the inside, just mount the satellite receiver at the TV end and the necessary cables from the receiver to the TV. There are many ways but now knowing what you have already limits the possibility for knowing what you already have, i.e., do you you have a rooftop dish etc. Welcome to the forum.
