RE: Trouble Free Motorhome Owner?
IMO there's no such thing as "trouble-free". I've owned six Class A motorhomes, and a variety of other toys.

RE: NASCAR at it finest ........huh?
She made the show, and finished, and still had a raceable racecar at the end. IMO she probably increased her popularity. I know I still like her, and admire her.

RE: NASCAR at it finest ........huh?
I get it.
It's our nature to complain.
That's the reason that there's been a steady stream of complaints ever since NASCAR was born.
The world has been, and IS, changing all the time. And, NASCAR keeps changing right along with it. Obviously, they can NOT keep everyone happy.
I like the way NASCAR keeps adding rules, and changing the rules, and I like the way they manage their business. For one thing, they do NOT borrow more money than they can afford to pay back. For another, they have a full field of racecars and drivers and car owners and sponsors. Obviously, they're doing something right.
Thanks NASCAR
GO TONY!
GO BUSCH BROS!

RE: NASCAR at it finest ........huh?
If the fans vote her into the show, it means a large segment of the fans like her. I like her too.
If she doesn't end up with a "raceable" car,.... that's the breaks. We all know there's always an element of luck involved.
I'll be tuned in 'cause I know it's going to be a good show, and a couple of my guys will finish up front.
I personally do NOT have a problem with NASCAR running THEIR business. And NO, they're not going to run off all the fans either. They're going to keep on making money, and more power to them. Just think about all the jobs they create.
BLAH, BLAH, ....BLAH

RE: I think I have a sickness
Come to think of it, I took my wife out for a cruise and dinner yesterday, AND movie and dinner today.
BUT, I'm going fishing at 6:00 AM tomorrow.
Life is good.

RE: The hammer comes down on Kenseth and team
IMO it's always been about money,...from the very beginning. The difference is that NASCAR has been a giant success story, AND the money numbers are now huge. How else can such a large number of young millionaire drivers be possible? You can't have it both ways, therefore I'm happy with the way it is.

RE: The hammer comes down on Kenseth and team
Who tests/certifies the accuracy of NASCAR's testing instruments?
It's a department of weights and measurements within the house of NASCAR (yeah, inhouse). You can only challenge through their appeals procedure.
Actually, it all works pretty good,......none better. IMO uncle sam is not going to interfere this time.

RE: Can I rant? Driving stuff...
They come from planet Oblivion. And, I always tell my wife what I think of them.
On the other hand, being an excellent driver,.....I always drive fast,...therefore I stay out of everybody's way.

RE: Newsman/s mouth
The idea is to produce 2 or 3 "big ones" whenever they race at a super speedway. And, they've been doing it for 40 years. Where's the flip-flop......:B

RE: NORCOLD 1200 LRIM tech question...UPDATE 1
According to the Norcold part number on my circuit board, and the serial number on my refrigerator, the correct part number for the corresponding Dinosaur circuit board is 6212XX. Therefore, I ordered one from American RV Company, for $193.
I will report back after I install it, and test it,....might be about 10 days.
Thanks

RE: I'm a retired salesman
I simply do NOT think of them as a person who will try to sell me something. I prefer to think of them as a person to talk to whenever I want to buy something.
Yes, I'm cynical. But, I was born naive and innocent. It's only through observation and experience that I have come to insist that I trust no one, until they earn my trust.
I also have learned that there are different levels of trust. And, it's up to me to determine the definition of the different levels.

RE: NORCOLD 1200 LRIM tech question...UPDATE 1
Right away I could not see any burnt material that would explain where the soot was generated.
There are two heating elements, each one with one black wire and one yellow wire. The photo doesn't clearly show that I disconnected/pulled off the two black wires two black wires from the blade terminals which are to the left of the still-connected yellow wires.
However, I can't detect any burnt insulation from either of the two black wires.
I can test the two heaters by checking the resistance, and I will do that. But, I have no way to test the circuit board. It's the original board, therefore I feel that I should just go ahead and order a new one anyway.
I was kinda waiting to see if Doug would offer an opinion.
Thanks

NORCOLD 1200 LRIM tech question...UPDATE 1
As some of you know, I'm familiar with several of the problems, and fixes, that have been discussed. My 1200 has certainly experienced a few. But, here's a new one:
First of all, this 1200 has been operating on shore power non-stop from the day I finally fixed the last problem. I went into the MH this morning and right away was greeted by the beep-beep-beep... coming from the NORCOLD frige. I found that the electric heaters had quit heating, but non of the fuses or circuit breakers indicated anything. I switched the unit to propane mode, it lit up, and apparently started operating on propane in normal fashion.
I checked the main NORCOLD circuit board and found a black soot area above the terminal blades where the black wires that come from the electric heaters connect. I pull these two wires off, and took a picture.
Has anyone seen this before? What might've happended? Any suggestions?

RE: The hammer comes down on Kenseth and team
There's not much need to speculate on the "what if" regarding drivers who drive Chevrolet brand racecars. Everyone knows Chevrolet engines are legal....:B
And, on the subject of the #20 penalty; the appeals committee will decide what to do about it.
Joe Gibbs is OK with it, why would I be opposed?

RE: The hammer comes down on Kenseth and team
This rule (connecting rod specs) has been in the rule book for 11 years. And, the engine of the winning car is always taken by the NASCAR techs, and disassembled, and placed under the microscope. If one of these techies discovers an infraction of a rule, that's it. At that point, there's nothing that NASCAR management can do but to assess a penalty. The appeals committee can not reverse the findings. All they can do, in this case, is decide on the whether or not to change the SIZE/severity of the penalty. We'll just have to wait on that.
What we won't have to wait on is what Toyota is going to do about making sure that henceforth all connecting rods will pass inspection.

RE: The hammer comes down on Kenseth and team
IMO Tony is having to "write off" this year. He will get rid of his crew chief (not his best decision), and hopefully find a crew chief with knowledge and talent that it takes to win some races.
IMO Tony is still the best all-around driver,....but it takes a lot more than driving talent to win a championship (the car being properly set up is more important).
