RE: Need help with hood locks - pictures included
I have the same locks, that I purchased at CW in Fife Wa last year. I will look up the mfg and post tomorrow. I have had some issues with these locks over the years, when a key does not hit the tumblers correctly and I have ended up with the whole lock assy turning, it pays to check the nut on the backing once in a while.
RE: need new deep cycle batteries for class a
Because of the warranty I favor Costco, currently selling Interstate, bought 2 last weekend, marine/RV, 650 CCA as I recall, $163 including tax (Phoenix %10). 30 month warranty. Those of you talking about 8 years on batteries, ought to come to the dry heat (Arizona) where batteries last 3-4 years. Yes i maintain them. I would love to get 8 years
RE: DIY MH paint job?
I am retired so time is not an issue, and Az weather cooperates most times, I have done DIY paint jobs before but dont claim to be an expert by any strech, all to say I feel able to tackle it after this summers trip to the NW. I appreciate the comments on primmer and brands of paint that anyone has used successfully and what to stay away from (without starting and argument lol)I do know that the paint that is peeling was a PPG product called Omni Au, MBC Base Coat. 34353 Gray Fleet. At least that is what the can says when I insisted they give me the left over paint. Now when I read "base coat" I am starting to wonder did I get ripped of worse that I thought. Popeye I used Delstar metalic years ago and it was fantastic I had some paint left over and went to look for some catalyst and they no longer made it....and that was 15 years ago...finally found someone who had a quart for $$$$$.

RE: DIY MH paint job?
Popeye.....I live in the extreme heat to Arizona which is HARD on paint. You say no clear coat is needed with PPG pain you mentioned, my thinking is that the additional clear coat give another layer of deflection or the harmful sun rays. I had a "cheap" repaint of a few of the outside of metal storage doors 2 years ago and it is starting to flake. Granted I suspect the prep was not as good as it should have been (I did not observe it)and the rig sits outside in the direct sunlight. Thoughts? Can you point me to any write up that have been done recently that might be of use TY Joe
