They are generally held in place with the same urethane/double sided tape. just be cautious not to bend/crease the trim removing it. its not a difficult job to do just a tedious.

March 24, 2023 at 11:35 am in reply to: Fuel tank capacity?

Hi all,

My (new to me) 1995 H3-40 OTR Featherlite Vantare has a label on the fuel tank that reads 284 Gal. Plus the fresh water tank is 150 US gal with a 150 US gal “Holding tank”. No black or grey tanks at all.

I also admit to hauling weight around in the form of full fuel and water tanks for emergency purposes being somewhat of a preparer for the worst.

Cheers, Tom

Thanks David, that’s the post I was looking for.

To recap, sensors suggest to replace are:

Crankshaft position sensor Part # 8929388

Oil pressure sensor DDC23532797

High coolant temp

Low coolant

I cannot help with your excursion but we live in Mexico 6months of the year. We have traveled extensively: Wrest Coast, Guad, Oaxaca , Chiapis sand more. We have been in a truck camper, Clark Cortez, 78 Vogue and our Bluebird FC,However we have not been beyond our home in Kino Bay for a number of years.We even bought an 88 PT38 Bird hoping to continue with our travels. It is getting worse. There are just too many places with violence. Tur, Cartels try not to bother tourists but you could be an innocent bystander and get shot. I will not get into politics but with the USA pushing Mexico to stop the Fentanyl the Cartels will be displeased. I have never heard of an RV being taken but if you are towing a fancy Jeep bad things could happen. The people from Quartzsite usually do not go deep into Mexico. They go to Penasco ( Rocky Point). That is a safe place and close to the border. A fun spot. I can try to answer any questions you may have.

Well, thank you for that bit of encouragement. I am looking forward to touching bases with anyone who knows of a future excursion to Mexico, cheers.

Last night I was able to remove my stuck caliper slide pins. Took the use of a 20ton press and an air hammer but I was able to get them out.

Hopefully I dont have the same issue with my front caliper slide pins.

Good tip! And in CA. Thanks!

Wish they had some photos of the actual units, all I’m seeing is drawings in the “easy guide”.

The 2 main reasons we won’t/don’t own an H model are:

1) H model Height (13’+ is too high. When pulling our full height stacker trailer (13’6″) behind our XL (<12') we were limited to the routes we could take or risk damage to the trailer.

2) H model Driver location.
