RE: Driving with camper windows open?

If you have covers over your roof vents, such as Max Air, you can drive with those vents open. The configuration of the vents facing to the rear will suck the hot air out.

RE: Entry Door

Mask off the surrounding area and spray it with Krylon Fusion paint. It will never yellow again!

RE: 1999 F350 & 2011 BIGHORN 32Ti - CUSTOM PAINT JOB!!!

It would appear that you like to draw attention to yourself. If you like it, then that's all that matters.

RE: Unexpected repair

All of my vent caps just fell apart by themselves. Instead of replacing with something that will fall apart again, I took 3 aluminum cat food cans, drilled a single hole in the center, then bolted those caps which I painted white to the spring steel piece that fits into the stack. They stay put while traveling and will not sun bake and fall apart.

RE: Replaced the table with reclining loveseat

I LOVE it. I originally thought of removing my jack-knife sofa but it would also eliminate a huge storage area where the outside box tucks under the sofa and, I know I am nuts but I like to sleep on that darn sofa.
We never eat our meals at the dining room table at home so how would this be any different?

RE: traveling with cats

Those little fur boogers of yours will scream a bit but they must be carried in your truck. Given a little time they will settle down. They don't need room to roam, water at their whim, or the use of the litter boxes. If traveling a long distance, then stop once in awhile and carry them to the trailer so they can stretch their legs, drink, and use their boxes.

RE: Question about EPDM Rubber Roof and Phoenix Heat

Have you thought about a portable AC unit that exhausts the hot air through a tube out the window? You would need to also run the HEAVY duty extension cord out the window to the 20 amp outlet on the pedestal.

RE: Question about EPDM Rubber Roof and Phoenix Heat

Your roof will be fine and your AC unit will be straining. Keep your windows covered and look for shade. A shady spot to park whether at a mall or an RV park is a definate plus.

RE: Yellowing Mirrors and Windshield Cap

Krylon Fusion spray paint is excellent to coat those yellowing parts. They won't yellow again.

RE: Left stranded night before Thanksgiving...

Without reading my policy at this time, I do believe the contract states that your disabled vehicle will be transported to the nearest qualified repair facility.
This was almost 7 months ago and it's still eatin' at ya?

RE: 10 Gal hot water heater.

If it gets too hot the "T&P" valve should release.

RE: What Would You Do?

Well, most important to me is the reliability of any vehicle. I would rather drive a dependable Yugo than an always breaking down Cadillac.
I would be inclined to cut bait and try to dump it on a dealer. No way would I privately sell it because you can open a can of worms about selling a vehicle with known defects.
As to buying another, it is all about preference. Personally, I would look at another Ford.

RE: Fridge not working help please

If it hasn't been working for a long time then it need professional service. Not something a novice should be tinkering with. Too much can go bad too soon. Find an rv service to give it a good tune up and cleaning. It takes specific tools to do properly.

RE: Peak Backup Camera?

I'm not sure of the quality but you could certainly get your power from a tail light so it would work with your headlights on, or wire it to a break light so you could peek with just a touch of the break pedel.

RE: Top ten best States to Retire

Only if one likes what these states have to offer. Most of the rating is based upon financial reasons but who cares if they don't like their surroundings? It's kinda like having a fat 401k while on one's death bed. I'm stickin' with Florida!

Make certain that you chase those threads in the head before reassembly and torque dry.

RE: Camping World in Pooler, GA

1. I hope you paid for the repair with a credit card. Dispute the charge because of shoddy work.
2. Find ANYWHERE else to have the work done correctly.
