  1. Yes, they do go between the sewer threaded pipe and the threaded adapter that connects to the sewer hose. Either the red or orange adapter will work with either of the PVC fittings. The smaller, 3”, will slip straight into an unthreaded sewer pipe and is tight enough to not need a donut.
  2. I made mine from PVC fittings for 3” & 4”. Also, creates trap to reduce sewer gas.
  3. Actually, good or great quality doesn’t cost. The cost for warranty work is as much as three times what it would have cost to do quality work before the product leaves the manufacturer.
  4. Having taken the Newmar factory tour three times, the first one was while workers were assembling motor homes. I saw three workers spraying glue on the rear end cap and a bat of fiberglass insulation. When they place the insulation on the end cap, it fell down. The same thing happened three times. They gave up and closed and attached the end cap. There wasn’t any insulation from the floor up. Until really cold weather know one would know. So I have never considered Newmar motor homes to be quality built.
  5. They have decided to move on to a towable because of the total yearly cost to operate. Thank you for the responses.
  6. Melanie went to three seminars related to quilting. Surprise Surprise. I did get to two seminars. Otherwise, I was so busy I didn’t have time to visit with as many attendees as I would have liked to do.
  7. I carry two sets of fuel filters. I can replace a set and still have a spare set in case I really run into bad fuel. The primary isn't bad to replace, but the secondary is under the bedroom floor. 4 screws and lifts easily. I have a web belt wrench that uses a 3/8ths extension and ratchet. Where the new filters are stored, I carry a plastic 2# coffee can to catch the filter as I remove it.
  8. My son is looking at a used 2000 Newmar Mountain Aire 3767 that is 37.5 feet long. They have not seen it yet, but think it has a gas engine. What are the pros and cons besides age?
  9. Mine is from Illinois and I live in Indiana. Works for the north and east section of US Also have a Pike Pass for Oklahoma because we travel to the southwest yearly.
  10. FMCA contracts with VAS to provide the FMCA Roadside Assist. In turn VAS contracts with the multitude of answering services. FMCA really is not involved unless you have problem with the provider.
  11. He said 3,000 answering operators across the country that do the answering for roadside service providers.
  12. I called FMCA Roadside Assistance on New Year’s Eve for a failed door lock. Could not get in. Took about 1-1/2 hours for the locksmith to arrive and 20 minutes to fix. I am sold on using FMCA. The president of VAS when making Roadside Assistance seminar at Chandler stated there are 3,000 that answer for all road assistance providers. If you call and are not getting the response you expect, hang up and call again. Some of those 3,000 are great and some are not.
  13. I have removed the Air Force One from my 2011 Equinox and installed it on my new 2019 Equinox. The 2019 requires a charge line. The 2011 didn’t. I have towed the 2019 about 1,500 miles without any problems. Wiring the light system takes longer to install than the Air Force One.

    tire covers

    MagneShade made these covers for me. I like the twist latch’s, not snaps $320 I had a 3-1/2” open hem in the bottom I cut 1” pvc pipe, capped one end, filled with sand and capped the other end
  15. Besides Rett, we also have a lot in Happy Trails Resort in Surprise, AZ. If the OP wants to PM me with his phone number, I will be happy to talk to him about Happy Trails and some others in AZ.
  16. According to a Google search, Goodyear owns Dunlop & Kelly and Michelin owns BF Goodrich & Uniroyal.
  17. I didn’t know Goodyear tires were in the FMCA benefit. Knew that Michelin, Continental and Hankooks were.
  18. Some have a switch/push button to turn off the power to the over the air antenna. If the power is on, the satellite or cable signal will not be passed to the TV.
  19. Best thing you could do. Those press to connect outlets are not what I consider to be quality. I had the same problem with an outlet for the TV in the bedroom.
  20. The cloth I use was smoother than the canoe. Maybe because I coated the cloth with thick coats of the epoxy.
  21. Not actually knowing where the outlet is located in your mh, have you checked the outlet with a meter. Some microwaves have internal fuses that will make them ‘dead’ and it’s not a problem with the incoming power.
  22. Years ago I did this to repair a fiberglass canoe that during a storm had been blown off my trailer. Worked very well. My son is still using it. You can buy the materials at automotive parts stores. We have one in our town that specializes in body repair supplies. The items are glass mat, two part epoxy and plastic putty knife to apply. Put on a coat of the epoxy, while wet apply glass mat. Coat one or two more times with the epoxy. When dry and hard, sand edges smooth. Tint can be added to the epoxy as desired.
  23. Unless your wife is running the washing machine.
