Lippert bought a division of Atwood after Atwood bought Dometic, but they remain stand-alone companies. I suspect you can purchase oven glass cut to size from any large retail glass company.

Storing on the leveling jacks is advised, this removes all the coach weight from the tires, leaving only the chassis weight on them. Tires should be inflated to sidewall imprinted air pressure and covered for long-term storage according to Michelin, Firestone and Goodyear, to name a few tire mfgrs. HWH jack shafts are made from SST, they do not rust. wildbill provided a link to proper care of jack shafts, Quote: "Make sure to use water or WD-40 to loosen any dirt before wiping the jack rod. If the jack rod has been greased or silicone sprays have been used on the jack rod, use WD-40 to loosen the grease or silicone and wipe the rod clean."

Before you began spending money, did you check for voltage to the switches controlling the headlights, and running lights? Do the brake lights work? Is/was voltage present at the horn solenoid? Does it start and run normally? You will find documents pertaining to the P30 chassis here: http://www.barthmobile.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/3731087061/p/1 Note, the documents are un-categorized, they are in "added by date" order.

I noticed that, it was kinda like finding the old peg-leg gold mine for me, the website contains a wealth of information.

I''m reading old topics on the FMCA diesel club websites and learning things I have read being discussed on recent forums these past 2-3 years. If anyone is interested it is here: https://forum.dieselrvclub.org/index.php?action=forum and also has a link to Yahoo forums from as far back as 2010.

I have my dash camera at the bottom of the glass in front of me for easier access and it's closer to a cigar plug. It displays everything in front of me, from ~6' to 600' on flat ground.

Why can't it be repaired inside? Liability concerns.

Mine is on the top left corner of the rear cap, I used 2 strips of double-sided tape to attach it 4-5 years ago, or whenever I joined.

I assume you are full-time, if not the USPS makes mail forwarding easy on their website.

IMO there is more to see in CA than in AK., but AK has it's own special stuff; in particular, look into taking a flight around Mt. Denali or the one that goes over the top. (you got to wear an O2 mask) If you are active or retired military or ret. DOD,(Canadian or US) think about the special military active recreational travelers =SMARTRVing.org Alaska caravan.

Welcome! Please sign-in and take part in any discussions-often.. To me it seems NAPA, while a bit more expensive, has a much wider selection of parts available overnight if not in-store; plus they seem to have more ready access to HDT parts.

Well, at least the thief/burglar taught us how to get in if we lock ourselves out. What every storage facility needs is a hungry junk-yard dog, it won't just watch like a camera.

Legal help for title fraud / odometer tampering
rayin replied to cpdrummer's topic in Laws and Legislative Action
Yep, the ECM records mileage and cannot be reset unless the entire ECM programming is wiped and new installed. For this type problem the person to contact is the state attorney general. -
I agree too; only your agent can give you a definitive answer. For instance in Indiana the trailer or wagon is covered by the towing vehicle's full-coverage policy, ONLY as long as they are attached.

Portable Water Deionizer Systems for Spotless RV Rinses
rayin replied to jeannemaryann's topic in General Discussion
De-ionized water is somewhat like softened water, which removes calcium carbonate, lime, and magnesium, and others, by replacing those ions with salt ions; de-ionized water also removes salt ions but is not totally ion free, that would only be distilled water. I really like the method CWSwine uses, it's cheap, effective and easy = the KISS method. I already have a 12V pump W/garden hose connections, a stack of buckets and a pocketful of change. So maybe I have to buy 5G distilled water 4X a year, how much does DI water cost, filters cannot make it? -
If you have a rear camera and a good ground guide backing is easy if you watch and listen to both, and remember GOAL = Get Out And Look when you have any doubts. In my garage I have 2 white reflectors on the back wall to help position the MH the right distance from the side-wall. I measured my rear overhang and measured from the back wall to where my rear tires would set + 3' behind the rear cap for working on the engine. I back our MH into the garage by myself without any problems, it's all about getting lined-up before your rear cap enters the opening to the building. P.S. this is NOT a timed event. The storage width depends on if you may want to extend the slides while i storage, I too would prefer the 14'X50' size for that reason.

Your switches, connections and grounds might just need a good cleaning, it costs nothing but time and effort. My water heater would not stay lit yesterday, I unplugged and reattached the flame sensor wire on the control board and the WH began working fine.

I finally received a response from "Buck" with MSRV that 2008 MH was already sold, they are just waiting on the new owner to come take it home. That 2008 at PPL Bill provided looks great too, we might pursue that one. We talked about our future, our health, how much longer we will be able to travel in a MH, and are swaying towards keeping our old Ultimate Freedom for as long as it or us(I'm 79) are able to travel. I've kept it in top condition, and it should have many trouble-free years ahead. The trade-in value is below $25k from everyone we've talked to about trading up, yet the average book value is ~$50k. An aside; I was making sure everything works before leaving for FL. and the water heater would not stay lit. I unplugged and re-attached the igniter/flame sensor wire from the potted control board and now it works as designed. It's a wonder how low voltage terminals can corrode enough to insulate the connection, simply from not being used.

Without pinching the tube is best.

Thanks Bill! That one also opened a path to more American Coach units. We aren't getting in a hurry, if it's meant to be, it will happen.

Especially when you are full-timing, the floorplan is very important to you both. If either is not completely happy with the floorplan, it will NEVER get better. I'm also looking for a MH, a floorplan with 1 ½ baths are our must-haves at our ages. Another must is being able to access the entire coach with slides retracted. We have some friends who bought a new MH then later discovered they cannot access the bathroom when slides are retracted. Another item to watch for with diesel pushers is engine HP. Without the add actually stating the engine, the HP will tell you when looking at diesel pushers built since 2010, Any add stating HP under 370 is now usually a B 6.7 Cummins medium-duty engine. Many who have bought a new MH with this engine are unhappy with performance in mountainous/hilly terrain. All other Cummins engines used are heavy-duty engines with more HP and torque.

Speaking of DEF, I was reading the news on MSN and read an article about S. Korea having such a shortage of DEF truckers were being sidelined when they ran out. It said S. Korea imports virtually all DEF from China. Anyway, MHSRV isn't bothering to return my emails or calls. The contacts name there is Buck Buckner.

This MH is still listed on MHSRV website as sale pending. No further contact from sales dept.
