RE: Pioneer Museum in Minden Neb
The Museum is a must for anybody over 50.
I concur as I spent 5 days there in 2010 as part of an FMC coach rally. I stayed an extra day just to spend more time in the museum.
Here is a link to the segment that the local TV station did about our rally. My coach has the sqeaking door. Can't lube now as it is famous!
Minden FMC Coach rally
I will be back again to see what I missed the first time. The sod house was also very interesting.

RE: Good Sam RV Club vs AAA
It will be the first time you need it! It is more than towing. It also includes tire changing/repair and a number of other things. Lost a fan belt and they brought me out a new one as an example. Came out and put on my spare in a lacation that I would not have flelt safe jacking up the coach.
One use in 10 years will pay for the cost.

RE: How old is too old?
Then again, you could buy one like mine (see signature) in very nice shape for $14-16,000 and put the rest of the money in and envelope and just draw a little out every now and then.
There is one like mine that has been all redone and converted to a Duramax diesel w/allison that you can get for about $25,000.

RE: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos
Those propane tankless water heaters need a certain minimum water pressure don't they? Obviously you had no problem with your water pump. I am curious because a friend with a hunting cabin tried one of those heaters, but it didn't work because his gravity-fed water system didn't have enough water pressure.lIt's not the pressure that they require, it is the flow rate. They need a certain flow rate to ensure that they do not overheat the water and cause scalding or steam generation. Would not be very good!

RE: Bathroom flood - What did I do wrong?
In my coach, the kitchen sink goes into the black tank. This does a couple of things: It puts kitchen sink waste into the black tank, it puts additional water into the black tank for emptying and also balances the volume going into the two tanks.
I like it that way.

RE: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
Ordered new stainless steel fuel tank as part of my gas to diesel engine conversion.Do you have to change out the trany as well or will the diesel link up to it.
Given that I am changing from a Chrysler 440 linked to an Allison 545 four speed tranny without overdrive, it was necessary to also change the tranny to an overdrive unit. Diesels operate at a much lower rpm than gas engines so the gearing has to be different.
I am switching to a 2006 Duramax 6.6LTD with a matched 6 speed double overdrive Allison that came with the engine from a donor vehicle. Since I am switching from mechanical/hydraulicly controled systems to electronically controlled systems, all of the wiring and computer stuff is being changed as well. I should complete the project in midsummer.

RE: Black tank won't drain...
We used the awning rod to unclog the clog. I think it was before the tank :)The original poster did come back and anounce the result about 15 posts ago! But the advise just keeps pouring out!

RE: What's your " OH man did I mess up"
Love the last line in your signature! Mine said "I will no longer camp without a soft chair and hot shower."
That is why it was her fault that when backing into my own driveway, the tree I planted 25 years earlier, but she watered and therefore caused it to actually grow, jumped out and poked a branch into the vent for the stove. I then learned how to do fiberglass repair and paint matching.

RE: Another don't trust that GPS story
The Wiki article says that : "gps is not affected by weather". TV is generally .6GHz and below.Wiki was not riding with me when MINE was affected by heavy clouds and rain. Got past the heavy weather and all returned to normal. I expect planes have a better antenna system than those that the consumer uses so they will be more reliable in all kinds of weather.

RE: Another don't trust that GPS story
I have no idea what happened, other than it was a very rainy day.Yes, Heavy rain means thick clouds which will interfere with the siganls from the satellites.

RE: First time owner. Seasoned road junkie.
Your transmission is probably a Chrysler 727 LoadFlite three speed. That is a good transmission and was widely used.
