I went through this problem with our trailer. The short of it is that there is no way to get the stuff off completely. Some sections will strip with aircraft...
I need to rebuild the drain valves on my '90 model 34V. The valves were made by Valterra. The valves are connected in a 'Y' with 1 1/2" for the gray water...
Alex, I rebuilt my drain valves last year because they were a bit leaky from age and nonuse before I bought the rig. It wasn't hard except for the hardware ...
Alex, I forgot to mention that the valve mounting must be packnuts such as Nylocks. Do not use regular nuts with lockwashers. The nuts need to lock to the...
Rol, I appreciate the information you provided. I had already planned on using anti-seize on stainless steel hardware, but had not considered the need for...

Where did you have the shelves powder coated?? I wonder if new shelves are available and how much they would cost. Bill [Non-text portions of this message...

I agree - when we replaced our 1983 Dometic with a 2004 Dometic, we were amazed at how much more flimsy the new shelves are compared to the old ones. I'm sure...
Auto glass dealers have replacement glass for that truck. You should be able to buy it for about 25.00 to 30.00. Some times the glue they use to hold the ...
My Yukon has mirrors that extend out about 6" electrically. I believe this product is also available as an aftermarket item. I may have seen them at Camping...
Thanks for your input, I have seen these under the name Power Vision. They are $509 plus 3 to 4 hours installation. I may have to get over the sticker shock....
The glue failed but also the pivot joint. The mirrors pivot on what is a plastic ball joint. This has failed. I will check and see if Salem Glass has a...

Michael, I look forward to hearing from you on the installation and how difficult it was. The weather in S.C. has been in the mid to upper 90's here as well...
When my Coleman AC starts vibrating and making unusual noises, I check the squirrel cage fan. I usually find a mud dubber on the fan blades causing the ...
Hi Mariner, once you remove your tire carrier, might it be re- mounted? My spare is under the rear bed and I think that is the only stupid thing I have come...
I had really high interest rates on my home loan. I saved thousands of dollars on home payments. And you can too. Interest rates are as low as can be, And Yes...
Hi Al, I removed my spare tire carrier some time ago and threw it away. I didn't think it would be worth keeping. I store my spare inside the rear storage...
I would like to get a discussion started on tires for our Avion's. You only need one incident to know that when a tire blows out on an Avion it can do a lot...
