Dicor Roof Coating
Well I have watched a couple of YouTube videos and did a search and read a little but thought I would ask anyway. Weather permitting Saturday I'm gong to coat my rubber roof with Dicor two part EDPM rubber roof coating system. Anyone been there and done that have any tips or tricks? My roof is almost 20 years old and looks to be in great shape except for some areas that are black. I was going to just pull it off and put new rubber down.

RE: Safe-T-Plus problem
Posted: 01/11/07 07:30am Link | Print | Notify Moderator
This is from the installation instructions:
"Road Test & Adjustment: To ensure proper alignment and installation of the Safe-T-Plus unit, the vehicle should be road tested. Take along a socket wrench to fit the U-Bolts on the Tie Rod. While driving on a straight stretch of road, vehicle should easily follow a straight course, if not adjustment is necessary. To adjust; hold steering wheel in a STRAIGHTFORWARD position, stop vehicle, and set brakes. Loosen nuts on Tie Rod U-Bolts and allow unit to self center. (Frequently this movement is not noticeable). Retighten nuts and test drive again. Repeat this step if necessary until vehicle will hold a straight line. Note: You must hold the steering wheel in a straight forward position, with the engine running, until the adjustment has been completed. Otherwise the wheels will return to the pulling position instead of the straight-ahead position desired."

RE: A/C units
Don't want to hijack this thread but I have a 50amp service and have used a dogbone to plug into 30amp and have run both a/c at the same time. Will this harm the a/cs? Should I not do this.

RE: The elephant behind the palm tree...
How many of us have gotten the "RV salute" on the Interstate highways?:h I'm a RVer, and wave (salute) all RVers that I see along the highway that I travel, whether or not I'm driving my motorhome. A wave is a form of salute. Not sure what you are referring to, but don't think it is any type of salute.
Nope... Bikers "wave" to each other, RV'ers "wave" to each other... Boaters "wave" to each other... But people in cars who want to go 85 MPH instead of follow at the speed limit have a special "salute" for us... Well, come to think of it... for anyone who gets in their way.... it looks like this... http://www.rjpictures.com/images/smilies/flipa.gif(but, without the grin...)LOL!!!
Don't forget about us jeeps

RE: Doberman
Depends on why you're leaning towards a Dobie. If you think that this dog will make you look like a Bad A**, you will be mistaken
I was one of those years ago and didn't need a dog to do it. :W

RE: steer safe
It seems to me that with longer eye bolts i can slide the fulcrum further back than i will have the extra threads to pull the springs back further.Am i wrong with this theory?
Let us know how expensive it is to replace the springs after you stretch, break and lose a few of them. Inquiring minds want to know.
I dont think that would be a problem He lost a couple already.

RE: Doberman
Given a choice I would get something else that's much smaller because if you stay at private CG's you will have endless problems.
I have a mini Schnauzer now. Always liked the look of a Doberman and have done alot of reading on them. My niece works for me and she lives at the business here. She has a 7 year old German Shepard that is nasty. If you turn your back on it it nips you. She also has a two year old Pit Bull that is the biggest baby. This dog can't stop licking you. I really think it has a Problem.

RE: Working under my Class A
The answer to the question is how much space do you have without the jacks. If you can fit under the coach without the jacks, but are just using the jacks for extra working space, then obviously there is no problem using the jacks. I use manual hydraulic jacks under my coach all when I'm not at home, but I can fit under the frame of my coach, so if the jack were to collapse, I would not be crushed. Might be a bit tight scooting back out, but it wouldn't kill me.
I do find it a surprise that most people can not fit under their coaches. I can easily fit under my dad's coach, which is a W22 chassis. My coach is lower to the ground that any modern coach, so it seems odd that it could be a problem.
A gasser yes but some of these DP can get very low with the bags deflated.

I theory that is correct but what if you over-extend the springs? Those springs were designed at that length for a reason. You may be able to stretch them further, but you have to wonder why they didn't do that at the factory. You also have to think about the eye bolts that you want to use. Are they the cheap Chinese eye bolts found at Home Depot, or are they the hardened steel eye bolts supplied by the factory?
If you stretch the springs past the point of no return, they would be weaker, and it could make the whole unit useless.
Thousands of people have used SteerSafe as designed. Take a good look at the installation instructions and figure out what you are doing wrong.

RE: steer safe
I don't see how longer eye bolts will help. It would give you less tension. Shorter springs maybe. Are you sure it's installed correctly? When you put that assembly with the plate and folcum(sp)through the A arm frame you leave the nuts loose and slide it towards the front wheel. Then hook the springs onto wheel side then the other side to the eye bolts making sure you have the nut on the back side of the eye bolt threaded on flush. Next slide the bracket in the A frame back as far as you can keeping the folcum centered on the pins and then tighten the A frame assembly bolts. Now thread the nuts on the back side of the eye bolts all the way down stick a screwdriver in the eye bolt to hold back on while doing this.

RE: Musings in the middle of the night
same thing with motels. Makes no sense. Or when the place is empty or have more empty rooms than full,, they won't give you a break. I never understood that.
It comes down to cost.

RE: Musings in the middle of the night
Well being in the hospitality bussiness people dont give a $hit about anything. I would say because of the extra electic and water you would be using. For us gas,electric,water and oil is a killer. Then the 15% room tax. For us it is not uncommon to see every light and tv on and the ac or heat and sometimes both running at the sme time with the windows open. Faucets on full blast room full of condensation form hot water and other guests calling because there is no hot water. If check out is at 11 leave by 11. If you can't get up early enough cough over a few extra $$ to the poor SOB trying to make a living.
