RE: WATER DAMAGE????????
Salt water or fresh water? If salt, the rig is done. It is like acid. You really can't stop the corrosion.

RE: Few Repair/Maintance questions for new RV owner
hey everyone, i have rented Motorhomes in past, and also owned campers, so late last year we decided to buy our first MH, we bought a 97 Fleetwood Flair 31', we got a heck of a deal so couldnt pass on it. We used it a few times last year locally to see how everything work and what did and didnt work, but i have a few things i need some info on before starting repairs.
1. i have a slight vibration, not in steering wheel, but just in general, the passanger seats vibrates if no one is in it, from about 20mph up. i had all the rear tires balanced. i have not had the front ones done yet, but could be next?
As was suggested, there may be an issue with the drive line. However, I would have the front tires balanced. Much cheaper and frankly more common than a bad drive line.
2. The rv seems noisy on the inside when going down the road, just all around noisy, i have road in other rv of same age and older and they seem like they are alot quieter. is this normal for the flair?
Probably yes. But you mentioned below about an exhaust leak. That certainly would contribute.
3. It seems like this is very common issue i have read tons of forums, but i have a exhaust leak, not sure if its a cracked manifold or bad gasket yet, but will this hurt to leave like this for a little while as it seems expensive to fix at least from the shops i have talked to her in NC.
It is an expensive fix, but worthwhile in my opinion. The solution is to have headers installed. They are not cast iron, and do not have the cracking or bolt breaking issue as with your original equipment
4. I also have the issue of the temp getting hot when pulling mountains or hard acceleration. i dont think it ever overheated as never heard or saw and boiling or overflow. it runs about 200-210 normal and up from there on hills. i have changed and flush radiator and also added water wetter, also changed thermostat.
What is getting hot? The engine or you?
5. The engine AC unit, when i got it i could turn the AC on and it would sometimes squeal like crazy so i wold turn off and turn on and it would start to work fine and blow cold for 5 mins then start to squeal again. i changed the belt and it work for about 5 min trip then it started to squeal and eventually broke belt. When it started to squeal the compressor still was turning, so it was locked up and is not locked up now. but could it be the compressor bad or what?
Probably the compressor. Junk yard item.
sorry for all the questions, but thanks in advance for the answers.

RE: Birds !!!
Easy-
Go to the store and buy some cayenne pepper powder. (In the spice section). Sprinkle the pepper in the areas where they are nesting or intending on nesting.
The pepper won't hurt your RV, and the birds, squirrels, and mice hate it.
One word of advice. When you start your RV, you might end up craving tacos. ;)

RE: Red Max Pro NO-NO
Go to Home Depot or Lowes, get a gallon of the floor stripper. It will remove the Red Max pro very quickly and very easy. Be certain to wash if off thoroughly after use.

RE: Replacing interior headliner in Class C
My thoughts are to maybe....maybe apply new fabric over the top of the old fabric. Not sure if it will adhere properly though. It sure would reduce the mess of taking down the old fabric.
I also was thinking of using a steamer to remove the old fabric if I were to move in that direction. However, my fear is the steamer may soften the glue used to adhere the foam backer. Then I have a real mess on my hands.

Replacing interior headliner in Class C
I am looking at purchasing a Class C Winnie. It is an older model, 2003. Aside from normal issues with an RV of that vintage, there is one glaring problem. The rooftop AC unit leaked and stained the headliner. It is significant and very visible, however, it never reached the sidewalls. Delamination is not an issue as far as I can tell. Now I could try to remove the stain, but I seriously doubt the staining will come out to my satisfaction.
My feeling is the best solution is replace the headliner. It is a fabric and appears to be glued to the roof. Has anyone tackled something like this? If so, am I in over my head (pun)?

RE: RV Rental - Good Experience - Camping World
Here it is, almost a year later. I have once again reserved an RV from Camping World. I will have it for almost 2 weeks this time. I will post my review when I return in late June. I hope my experience is as good as last year.
BTW. The price was nearly the same this year, $111 per day for a 27' Class C, including insurance.

RE: Best Route to Sequoia Park in California
depends on what you're driving.
if it's a car/truck/class b, then 198 out of three rivers.
if it a larger MH or you're towing something, DON'T go that way.
you'll need to enter from the north on 198.
Did you mean 180?

Best Route to Sequoia Park in California
There are two routes to get to Sequoia. One via 198 out of Visalia, the other route 180 out of Fresno. From So cal, it would seem that 198 is the most direct, but I have heard of some vehicle length restrictions on portions or 198 due to construction in the area. I am in a 27' Class C
Anyone been up that route lately?

RE: Canadians registering an RV in the US
Buy and store it in a storage condo that you actually own in the US.
That way you have a US address, and a very secure storage. Indoors.

RE: Forest River Motorhomes RV One Superstores????
I received a PM from the OP. He sounds like a decent guy, but one who is fit to be tied with all the problems he is faced with. He was not too specific, just to say he could probably bite a nail in half he is so frustrated.

RE: Forest River Motorhomes RV One Superstores????
1. I am not sure how you "transfer a license" to a new coach. Maybe things are different in your area than here in California.
2. RVDirect? When did they come into the picture? Nothing in your original post mentions them.
Forest River
RV Direct
RV One
Who did what???
3. Still a bit fuzzy on the "getting arrested" issue. Did you mean living in the coach?
While we are willing to help you out if we can, or specifically if you want, but the posts you have made are a bit fragmented and I am having a hard time following what the issues are, and most of all, WHO are the issues with?

RE: Forest River Motorhomes RV One Superstores????
We left the dealer with the coach and went home to inspect the coach as we did not want to get arrested in New York.
What does that mean?
