RE: Does Plumbing / RV Antifreeze Go Bad
Before you throw it, take some, put it in a jar and put it in the home freezer. it should remain a slush. Never an ice cube. if it becomes a slush, then it's alright. PS don't leave it lay around and have someone drink it as a slushy. It really is pretty much the same stuff they give you for a colonoscopy.

RE: 5.5kw Onan genset in my 2011 toy hauler belt broke
I didn"t know that Onan had a belt. I know my Emerald 4000 watt doesn"t. Are you sure they haven"t got you confused with someone eles's Generac.

RE: ST verses LT Tires
I switched to LT a couple years ago and IF I had the money, I would go back to some ST tire. I bought because all the posters said about all the blow outs. I never did but the first set had ply issues. Made in america Goodyear st. The second set was china made Goodyear marathons. No trouble but I was changing to disk brakes and went with new rims and Lt's You feel every crack in the pavement. the tires don"t want to twist when making a sharp turn. ( I wonder about the side loads on the bearings and spindles) Just before I left a campsite in FL last week I looked at my tires and one didn:t look just right. I found 2 nails in it. Had I gone down the road (the tire was down to 32#) would I blame the tire when it blew out or would I take responibilty for being a dumb a** and not checking?

RE: Connecting Two Honda Genny's....
You should be able to buy from a Honda dealer a Reliance Parallel kit. It bolts on and gives you a 30 amp RV plug and a 30 amp breaker/Switch.I didn't like the companion because it gives you a 30 amp twistlock outlet which requires an adapter. Just one more thing to heat and burn up.Or you go to an electronics store and buy the plugs needed and make your own.

wiring new Jack Antenna
I bought a new Jack antenna to fit on my present Wiengard post and no wiring instructions came with it. Can I use the wiengard booster or must I remove the co ax and use the transformer that Jack sent along. Tried the wiengard wing attachment and that was a waste of time.Looking at it there is no connection between any of the elements and even when you attach it to the sesnser. Plastic to plastic. Works only on induction? or is it MAGIC?

Lubing landing gear?
My landing gear is really squelling and I feel that anything that complains that much needs some grease. I was thinking about taking the cover off where the gears mesh and pouring a bunch of oil down the tube. I have no idea how the tube goes up and down (other than I know there is a motor and gears) but how are they installed or serviced. The outer tube is welded to the frame so I know that's not coming out soon. Advise please

RE: Wheel bearings
get the hubs off and inspect the brakes. Then while you are there repack the bearing. I'd worry as much about the brakes as I would the bearings.

RE: Duo-Therm 13.5k Roof AC- All but Compressor Works
Best way to find if freon is ok or if it is low is to turn it on, get the compreeor running and turn it off and right back on. If it starts right away the unit is low on freon. It has no head pressure. If the unit tries to start and fails and tries to start and fails then it has gas.

RE: What would cause AC breaker to trip?
Breaker may be undersized. Does it say on the label HVAC or something simalar> a curcuit breaker that is good for lighting is not rated for air cond. The label on the ac ( you may have to remove shroud) would say the max amp breaker you can use. A 25 or 30 may be required. Air cond and refergation can go way over the normal wire size. You might think #12 wire 20 amps. not so because it's a hermatic compressor Low voltage, loose wires or terminal all kinds of stuff. It really take meters to determine what is wrong.

Dogs, wll they ever quit barking?
What is with all the people that have those barking mutts? each campground lately we are disturbed by yippy dogs.I'm just about ready to go crazy. I like dogs, but the constant barking??? 2 doors over they have 2 and the guy would say something like ---- be quite. Thats it. Did they put them inside H--L no. I finally went over there, stood across the street and read a magazine while they barked away until the owner finally could not take it any longer and put them inside. Not a word was said. People, if nothing else, you are immune to their barking think of your neighbors. I go camping to escape, not to listen to your dogs bark

RE: Sealing the paint
I don"t think I've ever washed mine let alone waxed it. The fiberglass,Filon, whatever, really dosen't need it. It is not dirty, if mud somehow gets on it I might spray some water on it, but no campsite I have been in allows washing so it never got (gets ) done. It may not look like new but it ain't bad either. I would not spend $1500.
