    There are two things I won’t do:

    1. Crawl under an unsupported coach.

    2. Replace the camp ground receptacle in the power box.

    I suppose I can add to that try to adjust the prongs on my shore power cord.

    Its the campground/resort/park’s responsibility to provide us with consistent, reliable, 120VDC power at 60Hz, that won’t trip the breaker until the draw is over 50amps.

    The park should “fix it”. If the manager isn’t capable of doing it (and I’ve watched a few do it), they should call in an electrician (even on nights or weekends). If there are are nine other RVs on the 500amp service, they need to make the rounds and tell their guests they have to bring the power down for 15 or 20 minutes to solve an electrical problem in the park and that its OK to fire up their generators.

    In a small defense of the park, its hard for them to know when they have a soft or bad pedestal. They could annually go through and torque all the connections, but that won’t solve all the problems. Too many of their customers can’t pull a full 50 amp load like we can, and likely some that do and have a problem don’t say anything to management.

    Hello,

    There seems to be two types of 303 Aerospace products, one is 30307CSR and one is 30340CSR which says Marine UV on the bottle.

    Which is recommended for tires?

    Thanks

    Jon,

    it has become clear that I am chasing more than one issue. Given the age of the bus and the price of the Norgren valves, I figure it is cheaper, and faster, in the long run just to change the ones that affect the front airbags.

    thanks again

    Cheryl and I sure would love to see everyone again this year. But, we will be here in Orange Beach in 90 deg heat through August. Have fun and go catch some minnows. See you in September Jeff.

    Here is the old post info ;

    The problem has been located in Jeeps electronic power steering (EPS) system. Jeep needs to change a wire harness and switch which has been engineered and approved.

    The update is available Jan. 29, 2016. All Jeep owners will be contacted with updated instructions.

    A good off-road Jeep shop and add an anti-sway bar to your Jeep or something in the front end to solve the problem. Can’t remember exactly what we did to my Jeep. But there is a solution.

    With electronic engines of today the computer will derate the motor before harm.

    In the old mechanical motor days your pyrometer was of the utmost importance if you were a mountain truck.

    All I know is 1100, 1150 is fine. 1400 and your starting to burn up.

    Is that a Cessna 195? I’ve never seen one in the wild, but that look is pure sex. I’m a low wing guy, but the radial engine offsets that misplaced wing quite effectively!

    My dad had a V35B when I was a kid. I would have loved to have that 28v gear swing time. It was about four seconds, compared to about 12 seconds with the 14v system. That really dirtied up my initial climb, which was often over congested areas. Would have loved more airspeed sooner. My K35 had the engine slightly updated to the 260 HP IO-470N. I preferred it to the IO-520 in the V35 because the 470 has a belt-driven alternator that couldn’t grenade and destroy the engine. My engine had 2550 SMOH when I traded the plane to a guy for his 1957 C172. Dumb move since it turns out I hated flying that 172, but I had already bought the newer Bonanza and the K35 was proving tough to sell with those engine hours and faded paint. I figured any 172 was easier to sell, but that wasn’t the case.

    I had the V35, the 172, and the Twin Bo all sitting on the ramp at KGPM (Grand Prairie, TX) in 2016 when an early spring storm swept through. Light hail damage on all three. The Bonanza and 172 went to the insurance companies, and I got a nice check for the Twin Bo. Traded it as-is to a crop duster for the Prevost and haven’t flown since. Sure do miss it sometimes!

    Here’s my dad’s V35B, before a recent paint job and an N-number change. He worked for and with King Radio for many years, so it had a full King Silver Crown avionics stack back in the late 80s. I actually got the panel mount clock out of it from the current owner when he redid the panel, and have been meaning to make it into a gift for Dad.

    That would never have happened on my watch.

    I would have sprayed at leas half a gallon of Round Up on it.

    Absolutely despicable, I will notify the Vonore beautification committee at once.

    Thanks Tom for bringing this to my attention.

    Barclay, Call me between 8 and 8 central time. I have several resources to see if there is a fix.

    Which high limit is being judged as bad, electric element or diesel burner?

    Mine are made by Headhunter, they can be reset. Hope you don’t need to replace one, over $9000 each.

    x2 what JC said.

    I know the folks here where I live are like the folks in Polk County. I hope our Sheriff is like Sheriff Grady Judd?

    Here is the long video of what Tom posted:

    Jon, just because you own a Liberty doesn’t mean you have to use such a sophisticated vocabulary.

    Instead of inconsequential why couldn’t you say it didn’t make a damn !!!

    I had to look that word up in my Webster to spell it, you know I’am a former CC owner.

    Miller is no longer an advertiser on PC, they evidently didn’t see the value of being in front of 4500 members as well as the public exposure to our site that can view advertisers without being a member. I know we as a group sent them a lot of business over the years.
