Neat job Richard. I bought mine (white) from Amazon.

Carl, Sailun moved their production of truck tires to Vietnam 2 years ago. My Sailun tires(date code 518) state "made in Vietnam" on the sidewall. Now they have formed a partnership with Cooper tires to produce Cooper truck and bus tires in Vietnam: https://www.moderntiredealer.com/tag/69290/sailun-vietnam

Someone dropped the ball in Vietnam. Thanks for the heads-up!

Armed with the data-plate information and the frame # you may locate a replacement motor easily. If you have an electric motor repair shop nearby they likely have or can obtain a new motor quickly.

OK, thanks for that.

Wonder what the Yugo weighs?

Indiana made the new drivers license mandatory in 2021, no exceptions. I got mine last year when the old one expired. In Northern border states the new license doubles as a passport card for ground travel between CA and the U.S.A for work.

My is a Linda also, and yup she is always the one to walk to the fuel desk too. As to amount for pump shut-off. That is controlled by the CC processing company/clearing house at the direction of station local management. I once emailed Discover and asked this question. The reply was " to limit the amount of sales is counterproductive to our business goal, which is to make money". I printed that out and carried it with me for a few years. I would show it to desk clerks when they tried to tell me it was the CC setting the limit. Every time I got that deer in the headlights look in response.

The dead-give-away is the big wrinkle at top front of the slide-room.

It sounds like Ford has placed a large long-term bet on this engine. It is designed to fit into any vehicle with adequate space. It can be placed into a Mustang, full-size trucks and vans all they way to include the Ford F750.

DW takes card inside and obtains pre-authorization, clerk turns on pump, I fill and pull ahead. By the time I get inside DW has bill paid and CC in hand waiting for me to go get a bite to eat.

I received another email explaining the GS trip planner details. The trip software company tripled the monthly price to GS, thus the Mar 10 drop and eventual replacement. I'll probably stay with furkot.com for a trip planner.

Ya'all talking about RV parks, on the escapees.com forums some guy asked which was the best CG in Texas. That should get lively very quick.

Rather than welding, I would use the high-strength "glue" that''s advertised and sold at NAPA stores to fasten bolt heads to metal surfaces. I forget how much torque it withstands. High-amp welding currents can do strange things to electronics. Drilling N tapping the frame brings it's own set of problems and possible repercussions.

Mr. Dan Ball, regrettably Bill is correct, your statement IMO, is a classic example of passing the buck. The tire program is your responsibility or FMCA would not support the webpage, this means it is also your responsibility to provide adequate information on the webpage for members to make an informed decision. I would never consider telling members they are on their own when looking at tires on my webpage. I bought a different brand tire for our MH simply because the FMCA webpage did not contain adequate information for me to make a decision. Michelins are waay overpriced, and the Hankook lack of information problem is the source of this thread. Compare the Continental tire information to Hankook and you see the problem. EDIT: Just tried to use the Michelin tire program again and it will not display tire sizes. I write this, not to be contentious, but rather to point out that service is the foundation of any business.

Just received an email from GS telling me the trip planner ends Mar 10. OK, so far so good, but then they continue to explain they "hope" the new trip planner will be launched by the end of 2019?????? That sounds like someone has a bad case of ignorance. Wonder if they must attend some school to learn that lack of planning? Perhaps the good folks at FMCA who designed this new website could offer to help them out with planning, software design and coordinating old vs new website replacement dates.

For an alternative to the old GS trip planner, check out https://trips.furkot.com/ The new GS trip planner might be quite good.

Latter August and September are our favorite time-spans. Schools in session means smaller crowds, weather is agreeable, animals are out feeding in preparation for winter months, etc.

Not to burst your bubble, but it snowed in Las Vegas yesterday. It's 60° in S. Indiana today.

Instead of trying to figure out how to replace the old obsolete Sony coax, I went with a wireless Voyager rear camera system. To power the wireless camera I re-purposed the Sony coax by making the center wire the 12V positive feed and the braided shield the negative/ground. It's worked well since 2013. Since I had the dash apart anyway to remove the obsolete Sony CRT it was easy.

I do not carry a spare tire since my size is quite common, and I am not brand loyal. Some of the MH owners in the Alaska and Canadian Maritimes caravans do carry a spare because MH tires are quite expensive, especially away from home, and some sizes are hard to locate even here in the U.S.A. Some factors for installing just one new tire are dual tire applications. Just 5/16" diameter difference will rapidly wear both tires in a dual application. https://www.truckinginfo.com/154830/mismatching-dual-tires-a-sure-fire-way-to-kill-two-tires-at-once

I suspect you meant to say I wouldn't recommend; and I completely agree.

Glad you have everything working properly! Thanks for giving us the final results.

That's where our caravan crossed, both directions, there were few others besides our caravan there during the time(I''d estimate 1 hr) it took our 17 rigs to pass security. Our staging RV park was Pumpkin Patch RV park prior to entering CA, and and also the caravan ending point. Calais was where a California couple learned it wasn't nice to lie about how much liquor you had onboard to CA border authorities. I had to go inside and pay taxes on 3 bottles myself.
