RE: Honda EU3000iS oil change...?
IMHO I go with the owners manual from the manufacture not recommendations from anyone else. And by the way make sure you read about cleaning the spark arrestor.

RE: 30 amp service in garage
I had my electrian hook me up a 30amp outlet outside near my rv. I went to the web page myrv.us/electric/ and printed all the info and gave it to him to make sure it was done right. After they were done I plugged in my 30 amp SurgeGuard and then when everything was good I plugged in the rv. I am very happy with my setup.
X2 on 30 amp SurgeGuard. Will not hook up anywhere whith out it even here at the house.

RE: With the E-series going away, what for future Cs?
They can put amy size C they WANT on an F series truck.
My point.You can run a F550 base with any size of Motorhome on it. I think in the future it they will be diesel engines not Gas.
Area school districts are not buying diesel school buses. Because of the pollution controls on diesels after 2006 the famed reliability of the diesels are no longer there and because of the increased complexity repair cost are much higher. As far as the new Ford 6.7 diesel engine there are fuel system issues that to my understanding is very expensive and not covered under warranty.

RE: Can I Pick Your Brains About Smaller Class C's?
One thing to watch out for, since you are tall, make sure you can fully adjust the driver's seat. Ours only moves back a little way as the dinette is right behind it.
Had my seat raised 4 inches much better know even if I am looking through the blue strip across the top of the windshield.

RE: Can I Pick Your Brains About Smaller Class C's?
Our 26 foot is as long as we want. As far as Queen Bed is concerned be aware that a traditional home queen is 60"X80" there are some of the shorter Class C's that have that size but the majority of the Class C queens are 54"X 80" . Besides the obvious fact that a 60" wide queen gives you more room is that if you want to upgrade the mattress any "home" Queen will work. On many of the island queens they are 60" wide but are shorter than a standard or home queen. Now as far as C versus B goes me thinks you are confusing a Class B with a van conversion. Many Class B's are basically the same as a Class C except you do not have the overhead bed or entertainment center. The weak point in most Class C's is leaks in the overhang area. If you do not need that bed area for sleeping or for storage you should be able to find a Class B that fits your needs.
Be very aware that the number in the model does NOT reflect the TRUE length of the RV. the number on our RV is 28 but it is just over 26 feet newer Class C' that have 28 in the model number are closer to 30 feet. Take a tape measure with you and measure the RV and the mattress. IMHO in the length that you are looking for a U shaped dinette will give you more flexibility. As far as slides go we do not want one but if you do go with one make sure that you can access everything with the slide closed. I have heard of RV's that have to have the slide out OUT to access the bathroom, refrigerator or other parts of the RV. Again bigger is better in many things but not a RV. If you want PM me and I will send you links to new class C and B's that fit your bill so you know what to look for in used units. And one more thing I am an even ;larger person than you are so this is not coming from some midget that is under 6 foot

RE: Vent covers
Put them on toolguy5, you'll be glad you did. Keeping the vents open in rainy weather, although not all the way, is one advantage. Protecting the plastic vent covers from UV rays is another plus.

RE: Portable Air Conditioner?
Thanks - I did check out Home Depot but they only have the single hose design and they don't work in an RV - it needs to be a dual hose.
In a basement the single would work great as it pulls the cooler air from the rest of the house.
Believe it or not the portable AC does not know if you have put it in a house a workshop a garage or a RV. If you do not believe me go get it from Home Depot put the window adapter that come with it in one of the windows in your RV the adapter will work on sliding windows, Run the single hose from the AC to the window adapter and you will see it works great, After seeing this then make your one permanent vent. If I am wrong, which I am not, and the AC does not work right return it to Home Depot.

RE: Portable Air Conditioner?
WARNING the descriptions used are very basic and are extremely simplified. In a air conditioner with a compressor you have two coils the coil on the inside of the house absorbs the heat of the air passing though it and the coil outside releases that heat to the air passing through it. If a a air conditioner is doing a good job there will be a 10 degree difference in that temperature in the air in the inside and what is coming out of the air conditioner In a portable air conditioner you have both coils in the house you duct the air that has passed over the coil that would normally be outside. Now if you start bringing in outside air to cool and put in the inside and it is 110 outside you will be dumping 100 degree air on the inside and it will not get any cooler than 100 until the outside temperature goes down, I have a portable air conditioner with a compressor for use in a home in Colorado and it only has one hose to exhaust the hot air outside and it works fine no problems with pressure. Now I have seen evaporative coolers that draw in outside air and then pumps that air in the house and that air does need to be vented outside for proper cooling, You should never mix the two.

RE: I'm a retired salesman
No the sad way to go through life is going poor me someone lied to me and because of that I purchased a house I could not afford, the car I bought is a piece of junk, the RV I bought leaks, I can not tow the trailer that I bought because my truck wont pull it. Could go on and on and on. Become responsible for yourself and stop blaming everyone else. Tell me do you have blind trust with anyone with your money? I do not. Properly run business do not either that is why they have INDEPENDENT audits because they do not trust there own people.
I don't recall anyone blaming someone else for their troubles in this thread. Maybe I missed it.
And what have I stated (or anyone else)in the replies for you to ask "Tell me do you have blind trust with anyone with your money?"
I have advocated being prepared, doing your homework, study and education to enable yourself to find a good salesperson and dealer.
I agree with you completely "become responsible for yourself".
Blind faith is no way to proceed through life... but fear and distrust
of everyone can be just as detrimental.
With your distrust and believing you are being lied to regarding the price or the terms of a transaction... every major purchase you have made must have been a nightmare for you. What you call fear and distrust is what I call being responsible.
I have no nightmares when I make a purchase or have a service performed no matter how big or small however I have been and will be a nightmare to those that are caught trying to take advantage of me or my family. And yes I do look for those people each and every time.
We have very definite fundamental rules in our lives. I would rather be the pessimist that goes around smiling and happy because things did not turn out as bad as I had planned on than being the optimist that goes around disappointed that things did not turn out as good as he had hoped.
So to each to his own.

RE: I'm a retired salesman
TyroneandGladys
Don't you believe if you asked enough of the right questions that you would be able to easily determine if you were being lied to?
I hope for your sake you do not belive that
Well actually I do. If I've done my homework and understand what I'm purchasing I'm confident I could determine if I'm being bamboozled by asking the pertinent questions.
Also, if a customer seriously asked me if I have ever "lied to a customer"... in effect questioning my integrity... I wouldn't want their business and walk out of their office.
If you are a salesperson that sold a product for less than your original asking price then you lied to your customer about what it would take to buy your product or service originally. If you ever included something extra to close the deal you originally lied to your customer on what the price included. If you gave more for a trade-in than what you originally offered then you lied to the customer originally.
Again the majority of salespersons are honest but my point is how do you know if yours is or is not. And I stand by my claim that you can not determine the honesty of a truly dishonest person by questioning them if that was true there would never be any employee theft or frauds such as what Bernard Lawrence "Bernie" Madoff committed.
Have you ever sold your car to a private buyer? Have you ever sold your home. Have you ever listed and sold anything on Craig's List.
When you sold any of these items did you ever accept less than what you originally listed?
If so... are you a liar?
BRAVO you finaly got it!!!!!!!!

RE: 1984 Fleetwood Jamboree E350 - fuel pump / filter?
Go on line and find a shop manual for your E350. But first run a VIN decoder to make sure what year you have your RV might be a 1984 but the E350 could be a 1983.
