    wasn’t one of our members injured when he inflated a flat that failed during inflation and exploded?

    We have to cut Lonestart some slack here because if I were to guess someone before him painted the pipes.

    But he now knows it is a sin to have black painted copper pipes on a Liberty and if he wants to redeem himself we can appoint him to the position of Liberty Copper pipe inspector, with free dues as his pay. He will be allowed to inspect any Liberty he comes across in his travels and at rallies and if the pipes are not highly polished may be authorized to assess a fine.

    February 3, 2017 at 5:30 pm in reply to: 12V Water Heater

    Tim, on mine with 2 cold water heaters and if I hit the 12 volt heat switch, it will usually take around 15-20 minutes and it will be hot. For us to have non stop hot water, I will hit the 12 volt and the 110 water heater and have never run out of hot water. Hopes this helps.

    February 2, 2017 at 8:37 am in reply to: Wheel Question

    There are many torque wrenches that will do the required 450-500. I have one sitting in my garage. Any tire shop that only wants to use a torque stick is one I would never go back to. The torque sticks are junk. They *may* get close, but they are not reliable enough to trust. I found out that one of my shop employess had bought some to use without asking me about it. I told him they were junk and not to use them. He disagreed so we did some tests and found that they were not accurate, and in many cases, not even repeatable from one lug to the next.

    Use of a torque wrench, especially for aluminum wheels, is in my opinion a must.

    January 25, 2017 at 10:52 am in reply to: Wheels 315 Vs 365 Tires ?

    I thought about super singles briefly – I did some checking on the datasheets – A super single load capacity – for example Goodyear G392 (load range L) is 10,200 per tire for a total axel load capacity of 20,400 lbs. A Goodyear 315 (load range L) load capacity for duel is 8270lbs for a max axel load of 33,080 lbs. Now, my bus is relatively light at about 35000 – 40,0000 lbs but if I lifted the tag I would exceed the load range of a super single. Probably even more important for me was the significant change in revs per mile – 522 R/Mi for the 445’s vs 491 for the 315’s.

    Read the datasheets carefully…….

    Mine is stored outside here in FL. I have installed battery tenders on the house batteries to hold a float of 13.2 volts. The engine (Prevost system) seems to hold for more then a month by turning the 12 and 24 volt disconnects in the engine compartment off.

    Personal opinion:

    I have had Direct TV for 3 years. Customer Service has gotten worse since AT&T acquired the company. Much harder to reach a knowledgeable service rep.

    I replaced my latch set (different handle) a while back and it was a Perko brand. Found the part at a local West Marine store. It may be an option for you should you’re dealings with the Perko company does not resolve your issue.

    Tim,

    Sorry about
    the slow response, but I checked my records and noted that I changed the light,
    but I did not put down where I bought the light.
    I have racked my brain, small as it is, and I
    even went to the Lemonbest site to no avail, but As Usual, BA and PC to the
    rescue.
    Went back and checked the older
    posts and found where BoaterAl had answered this exact question for the upper light. I do not have a lower light.

    November 17, 2016 at 1:09 pm in reply to: OTR air relay failure

    Hello there (this is my first post since joining over a year ago), I wonder if you could relay what signs caused you to suspect the OTR relay(s) had failed. I’m trying to trace the cause of an issue I’m dealing with (both Low and High A/C Press lights and Compressor orange light (on the Dash) constantly cycles on and off) and wonder if you faced similar symptoms ?

    Appreciate the feedback, if possible.

    Move on folks, nothing to see here. Tom is having an episode and it will pass.

    He has these strange events where he actually thinks I want a new phone, a new Ipad, or even know what a blue something is or does.

    I’m thinking of using my share of the dues money we collect to pay for part of the cost of re-hab for Tom.
