    If you are near a place with yachts, there will be fuel polishing services that suck the fuel out, filter it and return it to the tank. If you’re in a cold area of the country you should be able to find someone with a multi-fuel heater that would gladly take it. Two trips with a 55 gallon drum and it’s gone.

    Used fuel is hard to get rid of otherwise.

    truck fans are differant animal as they don’t have to move as much air because of natural air flow from forced air going down road. If Clifford see’s this he has a source. My memory has slipped on this one. I don’t have a extra. There was a article on BNO about 6 month ago about fan flow. Bob

    We want to see that coach. I have seen the photos and read your posts and I never cease to be amazed. I especially want to see how the slides were designed.

    Iceman,

    What year and conversion do you have? That would help with suggestions about repairs. Suggest you add a signature line by going to “profile.”

    Are color coded Blue is suspension Fwiw That ppv is sort of in a low spot and when back loaded(pressure from other than designed operating side) it tends to stick. I have pulled the supply line and dropped a few drops of air line lube to help revive a dry valve.. Time and a little moisture creates a very unfriendly surface for air switching operations. The moisture actually effects the original assembly lube and the air line oil replinishes it and displaces moisture. TMI?

    Gary,

    Jon and I both have sent messages to Bill. He’s realy good about repondiing quickly, so there must be a reason why he hasn’t answered your post.

    Glen,

    A lot of us have done a lot of work ourselves on your vintage coach and if you choose to do some of your own work that having some good supports will be very important to you. I literally used to use hardwood blocks at one time.

    If you opt to readjust your brakes and need help just let any of us who have done this before and we can talk you through it while you are under the coach with your cell phone and wrench.

    Been to Riverbend many, many times…the last time we stayed for a month! Great people, nice sites and we love the on-site bar and restaurant. Every Sunday they run the model train for all to see and it is a hoot. This is also a great place for rallies. I think we are going back this winter in January while I’m having my site in St. Augustine re-paved.

    I cannot disagree with Clifford. If the bearings are tight enough to get significantly higher temps at the hub than other hubs then the problem with the hub bearings cannot be ignored and must be taken care of.

    The engine temps are coincidental.

    Good advice, I’ll just go ahead and use new fittings for the bags as well. Hopefully, I can find them local, they’re big fittings.

    It is for that very reason I have a dash cam in our coach. For more times than I can recall I have had other vehicles pull in front of us so close our chances of avoiding an accident were slim to none if they had to hit their brakes.

    We have had people intnetionally pull close in front and hit their brakes, we have had cars pass us on the left only to zoom across all traffic lanes to exit, and we have had trucks pull in before the trailer cleared us requiring us to rapidly hit our brakes.

    The dash cam will not stop an accident, but I sure hope it will record when the other driver caused us to rear end his vehicle.
