RE: Need recommendations for rv service near Conroe, Texas
Healeyman...THANK YOU for the recommendation. I've dealt with the cabover leak since just after purchase (a year ago). As a proactive measure, I've Eternabonded all of the roof seams and did some recaulking. I've also been somewhat successful in minimizing the leak and now keep that area covered when I expect rain. I've always been open to a pressure test and even a "turn key" job with the repair. Just haven't found anyone I would be comfortable with during the work. 75 miles is not that far to drive...IF the company knows what they're doing. I continue to use an automechanic in Sulphur, Louisiana...which is a 75 mile drive. THANK YOU so much!

RE: Need recommendations for rv service near Conroe, Texas
I have had a good experience with Camperland.. I had a problem that two other RV Service places couldn't figure out and they knew the problem right away..
Where is "Camperland"?...do you know if they do pressure tests for coach leaks?

RE: Best air valve extensions for use with simulators?
Can't say enough good about TireMan...liked that I always talked with Charles (forget his last name), the owner and manufacturer. I have been very pleased!

ABA Travel Park in Houston, Texas
Not sure this is the right category...but here goes...I've just accepted a long term teaching position (till the end of the year) at BriarGrove Elementary on San Felipe in Houston and am thinking of living in Winnie till the end of the year. I've found the usual RV Parks...most require some drive. ABA is within 5 miles of Briargrove and appears to be workable. Comments on this, even suggestions to other "hidden gems" are welcome.

RE: Dually wheel extensions
I looked at Borg and Tireman...and purchased Tireman...I liked that I always was able to talk with Charles (I think that's his name/last name I forger), the inventor! He was most helpful. Buy the stems vehicle specific. About $145 de3livered. Cost me $120 to install. Although it's not necessary, I had the tire shop check the balance and rebalance...not because the stems through them out...the first tire shop didn't do a great job. I searched for a tire shop for some time to put them on. Finally drove 75 miles to a small family operation and am very pleased. As to the metal stems. LOVE THEM!!! LOVE THEM!!! LOVE THEM!!!

RE: Rough Rider - SunSeeker
Original shocks are usually shot by 15000 to 20000 miles. Replace them with Bilsteins HD...they are great and you'll see a really huge improvement in the ride and handling. Also pay attention to tire pressures as others have mentioned.
J
Bringing Winnie home to Texas from Arizona I had a lot of sway. One of my first tasks was to put Bilstein HD...BIG DIFFERENCE...Winnie drives like a dream on the highway...a very good investment!

RE: Used purchase tire question
For peace of mind that my family is safe...REPLACE IMMEDIATELY! Check the code date on the tires. They may already be 7 years old. If possible, I'd use tire replacement as a bargaining chip!

RE: Changing Air Filter on Cummins Generator
THANKS j-d....I bought a filter and plug thinking that might be my starting problem...it wasn't...it was the spark arrestors that needed cleaning...after that started immediately...from what I can see of the filter it's dirty...since I have one...I'll change it...can't hurt...

RE: Changing Air Filter on Cummins Generator
I thought it would be what you would call a "no brainer" to change the filter. The hitch is that the threaded spindle that holds the filter in place is too long...when pulling the filter out I run into the side wall and can't get around the spindle. The generator is RV QG 4000.

Changing Air Filter on Cummins Generator
Might have spoken too soon! Thought changing the air filter would be take the cover off, remove the filter and replace. Cover came off, wing nut holding the filter on came off; the only problem is that the threaded spindle is too long to get the filter around and out. The threaded spindle seems to be fixed permanently into the holding bracket. What am I missing?
Generator is RV QG 4000

Cleaning Spark Arrestors on Cummins Generator
My Cummins RV QG 4000 had been somewhat difficult to start lately. Usually on the third try. Once it started it ran well. Thought it might be the plug, or the filter. Went to Cummins and bought one of each. It was about time to clean the spark arrestors, so I thought I'd do all of it at one time. Surely the spark arrestors couldn't make that much of a difference. Cleaned the arrestors (with generator under full load) and decided to start generator to see if there was a difference. VOILA!!!! Started like brand new. Think I'll still put the plug and the filter on. I'm sold on keeping the spark arrestor clean. That's all.

RE: 1999 Jayco M-323
From the owner, get the date of her husband's passing and what he died from. Then try to crosscheck somewhere to either prove or disprove. Just a thought.

RE: What Bubble Mixture Worked Best?
THANKS j-d...Someone suggested using the fan of the air controls with the chassis. That not working I'm going to Harbor Freight to look for the unit you mentioned.
I appreciate your input!

What Bubble Mixture Worked Best?
Someone posted a link to a list of bubble mixtures that can be used when checking for seam/window/etc.leaks during a pressure test. There are a variety of mixtures, ingredients, etc. in all of the "recipes". I thought maybe someone here had found a mixture combination that worked very well when checking for leaks during a pressure test. Thanks!

On Friday evening I sent an email to the address provided. The email included my resume and related documents. Lack of immediate response always puts me on guard. As of Sunday evening, 48 hours later, no response.
