If we go in-house, I'm all for it...If you need a week? Take it. I'll suffer thru the pain.. I might get something useful done! The program we are on now, gives me a "Red" line each time I type FMCA...if it does not recognize the party that pays each month...we don't need it ! Carl

There are a lot of young families that RV, most are not affiliated with a club like GS or FMCA....so, young Joe, it is up to you and others to get the one's in coaches, to join FMCA. Now, if you, JohnJill and Keon/Hayes get together, why not start forming another chapter? I know, we have the under 60 taskforce, but that's not the answer...don't put a age limit on it, young or old, with kids or grandkids, that like to travel and do things together, that is of interest to the grownups and the kids! Carl (no kids)

Joe, don't know about the east coast, but a lot off campgrounds in Texas, NM, LA and AZ., require a donut, to make an air tight seal. I like, like Tom have found that my screw in, will not seat properly or get stuck (guessing cross threaded), so, I use the donut ! Keon. Prior to 1990, I also used CH2O in my black tank. RV Manufacturers used it and then covered everything in plastic...when the RV sold, the plastic was removed. Sometimes in a hot/humid environment, it would bring me to my knees, tear me up and make me cough. The only place you'll get that now, is in a new FEMA trailer! We can't, the gov't can! Herman....Right on! Carl

Joe, rust build up? Try spraying with your Pro 1...it, per you, brought back your original manifold, to it's pre use color! Carl

What is hanging in the AC vents? rv2dan, what make and year coach are we looking at? Brett, at first I also thought like you. Kay. Agree with approach...in any event it''s not a small job. Got to find the cause.

Goes right along with the question: How many miles do you drive per year? Both are silly, in regards to any form of non-commercial transportation! My opinion. Carl

Thank you Joe! TMI, I may never eat Amish food again! I will bring my own from Texas.. Carl

Herman. Well said ! You had your second cup..

Ray. Welcome back to the RV learning curve...one time I was away from MH's for 4 years, crawl, walk, run, all over again! Carl

Keon. Send a PM to Joe Leamonte. He's in PA. Under 45! I have been there and done that, in the late 60's and 70's, there was not many people traveling in Class A's. I found out that most chapters of FMCA , enjoyed having young owners....the "older members" felt I could learn from them. They where right ! So, find a chapter, find out where they are going next, make a RSVP and jump in...may be OK. If not, try the next chapter. That was my recommendation to Joe also! Carl

1. Do you have a leak? 2. Happy to see that you found a coach that suits you! 3. If someone else has a leak, I would let them know, they may or may not know that they have one. If they know, don't get involved. If they don't, then help them if you can! Carl

Well, now that we are all on the same page, I'm happy that it all worked out in the end...

Ha, you should know! You where there!

Wayne. Not my rear , the coaches rear! . I have an appointment with TCC in Pipe Creek the 3ed. When they get it fixed, it should once again be a perfect rear end again... Carl

Send a PM to Huskeycamp. Then you can share info. Carl

Good info. How do you remove it? If I had used that to tie my back end together, instead of Gorilla Tape, which comes off with mineral spirit, no residual gum! Carl

Gorilla Tape ...currently holding my "rear" together in sun and rain ...I threw away Duck Tape a long time ago, since it slips in rain and is a lot more messy to take off ! I have found that if you need special tools, you can borrow, with a refundable deposit or rent what you need from the place where you buy the parts! Carl

All metal to metal parts will benefit and especially diesel engines when cold and first started...that's when a lot of wear occur! ProOne does not gel at very low temperatures...

Both of you. Welcome to the Forum. Call or check web for DOT in your area and travel route or State Police. Carl

Take a look at Volta Power System! Carl

I agree with all of you! Kay, the only problem I have found, with all the local campgrounds; where there is local ordinance against overnighting at Wall Mart or other lots. The campgrounds still think that 34' RV is as big as it gets...sort of outdated thinking! So, I just drive to the next town...the further east I get the more problems I have, especially, NE! Carl

Joe, Bill. I have learned a lot about the ProOne in the past couple of days. It was originally developed by Baroid as an environmentally safe alternative in drilling fluids as a drill bit lubricant. Halliburton is experts in cement...they bought Baroid and then saw other possibilities for the drill lube! The new generation lube that your using now, comes in many forms and is designed to be used in all fuel and oil application, from cars and trucks to lawn mowers. As soon as I hear back from Baroid, I should know where we can get ProOne and the cost per quart. I intend to add 20% to my next Oil change in all my vehicles, also fuel. Their is a video on Halliburton's web site and it is very impressive! You can also, down load the specs! Joe, hubs, I meant oil bath and yes it is designed for that also...Comes in different viscosities. It's vegetable oil based, biodegradable and don't worry about spillage, it has no toxins in it. Carl

Would that stuff work on wheel hubs? Is it sold retail, or just commercial bulk?

wesgiv, I don't make a habit of overnighting at Walmart. I have learned to find one that is open all night, or at least has 18 wheeler's and well lighted. I stay among the trucks or other RV's....never had a problem, do not use my Jacks nor slide outs. I'm overnighting not camping! Same with any Truck Stop that has Pull Thru parking. That goes for Rest Areas also! Carl
