When attending the Opry, within walking distance is the hotel. It is worth the effort to just walk around inside this magnificent structure. On music row there is a record/tape/CD shop that have everything - everything ever recorded in the C/W field. I bought an old 33 1/3 record, Mr. and Mrs. Hank Williams singing duo's. Until then I never knew they had sang together. I think(been many years ago) the shop is around the corner from Hard Rock Cafe Nashville.

Canada used to have a strict procedure for entering with a handgun. This year's shooting changed that, this is the incoming laws: https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/cntrng-crm/frrms/c21-en.aspx Presently this is Canadian law: https://www.ezbordercrossing.com/the-inspection-experience/transporting-firearms/bringing-a-firearm-into-canada/ , note it does not address importing handguns, only long guns of a non-military style. This from the NRA is interesting and informative information: https://www.americanhunter.org/content/when-crossing-the-border-beware-the-lost-bullet/ bm02tj offered the only viable solution today..

That is where the coolant filter is on my engine. If the coolant is the new OAT type a plain filter is used. If the coolant is the OEM green type a pre-charged filter must be used.

I understand Ross, we are in limbo right now. If the ins. company would make up their mind to total our MH or not it would be much better. If they decide to go the total route before yours sells, I'll be contacting you.

Pertaining to this, I bought a pint can of the white liquid for a project then painted a plastic oil jug with it to experiment. Now 4 years later that old jug is full of used oil. sitting outside in full sun. the white paint is dirty now but still intact and not showing signs of sun damage. I also used it on the metal panel holding my air horns on the MH fiberglass roof, it too still looks great, not showing any signs of sun damage. My experience is when you open a container, use it all. Once exposed to air it cures out rather quickly..

FWIW, over 80% of all 12V issues are the result of a poor/missing ground. That is a 12V battery circuit issue, as it involves both chassis and coach 12V lighting. Each MH mfgr. has their own methods of running and controlling 12V circuits, I doubt my Winnebago wiring diagrams would help with an Alfa MH but you may look them up from https://www.winnebago.com/Files/Files/Winnebago/Resources/Diagram/Wiring.htm

Flex Seal contains petroleum byproducts it states on the label.

His reply was over 18 months ago, I doubt he follows this old thread. Send him a PM.

Van Raam sells a green one, there are several mfgrs of 2-seat EV trikes. Welcome to the FMCA discussion forums!

What is the brand and model # of your leveling system?

The idea is interesting, however I cannot understand this one thing. We've been advised for many years that the lack of full voltage upon startup will slowly and permanently ruin an inductive motor. This device webpage states it works by ramping up voltage instead of applying full voltage to the motor, thereby allowing use of the A/C motor under less than ideal conditions. Look it up yourself. How does this work then without damaging the inductive motor in the A/C compressor? I have asked electricians online and have not received a full answer. Everything I've found on the internet about this Softstart product is sponsored by them.

A good body shop should be able to repair/replace them if they have a high bay long enough for the MH to fit. My MH is at one now awaiting a front cap repair.

IMO we're all bothered by increasing prices. It's the folks who still must work for a living that are feeling it most. Our grocery bill is up about $30/week from last year, and it's going to get higher. Today independent truckers shut down one of California's largest ports.

For MY MH; I had a very similar problem some years ago. To cut this short the problem was a loose retaining nut on the main cable distribution block on the firewall that supplied power to the entire cockpit area. The cable made contact enough to start the engine when the loose connection cooled off, but when it heated back up it lost contact. It cost Good Sam ERS approx. $2K for the roadside mechanic to find that loose nut on the positive cable to the distribution block; it cost me a $20 tip to the mechanic.

This might be the cause of our high fuel prices: https://www.rystadenergy.com/newsevents/news/press-releases/us-gulf-crude-exports-to-hit-record-high-this-quarter-despite-domestic-supply-shortage/

Mine have been attached with double-sided tape at top port-side corner, been there ever since I received them, approx.9 yrs. so far.

I use https://weatherspark.com/ to learn what the historical weather is for a location. I use https://preview.weather.gov/edd/ to see what the weather will be along my driving route. Wayne, it looks like we will not be going anywhere this summer, and perhaps fall. The body shop and ins. company seem to be in no rush to repair or total our MH, no decision on that yet. The body shop is searching for used front caps though, so they say.

Does this look like yours? https://www.intellitec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/53-00362-100.pdf and this how it works pdf, https://www.intellitec.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/53-01000-000.pdf

Believe it or not, today the Army is again working on designing new vehicles for travel in the antarctic. It will replace arctic vehicles made in the 1960's and the present stryker wheeled vehicles.

Is there a pressure regulator ON the grill too?

An older battery will drag down the new battery, both are charged at the same rate but the new battery is over-charged because the old battery will not accept the same amount of charging. The old battery is still trying to reach full charge while the new one is being over-charged. Now if the older batter is less than 6 months old and passes a full-load test, it may be retained with a new battery. As to battery type, you have room for 2 batteries; if you were to install 2 6V batteries and one goes bad you are SOL, but with 2 12V batteries you still have one to supply voltage to your coach by simply disconnecting the bad battery. This means you may disconnect your bad battery now and still use your MH.

I agree Joe. many tire owners simply do not/cannot follow directions. For example, if a tire owner follows directions and registers their tires with the mfgr., owners will be notified by mail of all recalls pertaining to the tires - by USDOT number. An example of tire recalls, this one is for Continental and Goodyear Tires: https://recallinfo.ustires.org/TireRecallSearch/ListRecalls/12 I wonder how many FMCA members who bought tires through the program bothered to register their new tires?

Just got a phone call today asking if I'm OK with the MH being totaled, I said yes if the money is close to matching todays market value. I'm sad about that, I've put a lot of money into ensuring everything was properly maintained and repaired. I wouldn't hesitate to begin a circuit around the U.S.A. tomorrow - if I could afford the fuel. I'm going to start window-shopping this week JIC.

I pointed him to the sales brochure, the Ford chassis came with 19.5" tires, the Workhorse chassis, which came with 22.5" tires, was not available for the 37PCT model.
