I think it’s time for a “Go Fund Me” page for Jon! Maybe something like…

My name is Jon and I need some money,

No dues from Tom, he ain’t my honey!

[John]

This very thing is the reason that world wars have been fought. The have-nots wanting, whatever it might be, that which is owned by the haves.

This situation is not new. In fact, “There Is Nothing New Under The Sun.”

It’s just the cold hard facts of life.

We’re not ever going to be able to, “just all get along”.

[John]

Jon,

You are absolutely correct. There will always be those amongst the have-nots that resent and hate the haves. And, some can be violent and destructive. Nice upscale cars a perfect example. I had a nice collector car keyed recently. Jealousy is for sure a terrible green-eyed monster.

I always do my best to avoid bad or questionable situations. As it’s said, “shun the appearance oF evil”. I would only act if put in a corner with absolutely no way out but in such case would endeavor to completely neutralize the threat and with no remorse. A weapon will be met by a weapon. I believe in having “a dog that barks here and bites way over yonder”.

Mary saw Tom’s pics and went …”Ahhhhhhhhh”. She’s from N. Georgia. Years ago we spent many days hiking and backpacking in the Cohutta Wilderness. We slept on rocks in a tent by the Conasauga River, fished, ate freeze dried stuff and drank out of the river. N. Georgia is Gorgeous country. Almost heaven.

Fast forward. Prevost and now Renegade. I’d go back to the old days if my aching body could.

I’m not a Florida guy because heat is my enemy. But on multiple occasions while Tom was living in the swamp he made me aware it was cooler in Florida than it was up here in TN.

Our humidity is so thick at times it feels like we are wearing it.

[John]

Tom: Have looking into pirating some of Jon’s data plan? I’m sure his flip phone doesn’t come close to using up whatever dial-up plan he’s got.

[John]

Good catch Bill. 40′ CC XLII — Fresh tank 142 gal, Grey 87 and Black 60. That’s what Covid cocktail hour and posting gets you.

[John]

A few minor projects.

Entrance door window from 2 window to one window upgrade

Removed and replaced all the outside panels of the stacker trailer.

What year is Bus and where was it during its life to create such a erosion od the metal.

I am in middle of nowhere mountains this week and I could find no 6mm air line or the reducer.

I decided to put the 1/4″ line on the fitting at the seat for a temporary fix.

I could barely get the 1/4″ line over the lip on the fitting. I can not imagine getting a smaller line on it. After I got the line all the way on, I tightened the nut and cranked the bus. The seat aired up and it is holding for the time being. I will keep a pair of Visegrips handy on Saturday.

I did leave a message on the Willingham website.

Thank you all.

Davy

We can speculate until the cows come home as to what is going on, but with unrestricted access to RVers, regardless of how many gallons they take on at one time and the only lanes available for discounts are the truck lanes I have a hard time believing Loves or any truck stop will be happy with mom and pop in their 20 gallon at a time Ford pickup pissing off their best customers by using pumps that were always for the big boys.

The administrative cost for a purchase is the same regardless of if the purchaser buys 20 gallons or 200 so it is apparent there are reasons why discounts might be going away.

But until they do they are better than 10 cents off of the cash price we previously had.

Don

Not really related to this but I wanted to say Thank You for either posting or commenting recently regarding OTR A/C evap and cond blower solenoids.

My evap blower quit last week and although I searched and couldn’t find post – my memory somehow retained what you had said about those two solenoids (38 and 39 maybe?) and where they were. Tested and the one for evap blower was bad. $66 and a day later I had part from Prevost. Went ahead and ordered two so I’d have a spare.

This is what I used for my 96, got info from Don Beard Prevost tried to give me different ones for front

[John]

What I really want to know is how someone can possibly confuse the holding tank valves with fresh water valves. Surely that has to be meant as humor.

[John]

Chad, you will notice that the fitting on the back of those two are 90°. I need the straight fittings like the original.

But thanks!
