RE: Bird nest in the pin-box

This is a common problem all over in the spring. A lot of different birds love those 5er pin boxes. Last year a Killdeer nested under the front of one of the 5er in storage.

RE: Coachman Feelander

Entry level C and from what I've seen are not very well constructed. Your Lazy Daze and Born Free are at the top of the C class.

RE: coachman b 454

Best repair is to replace the factory man. with headers. A set of headers installed around $1000 if none of the bolts break off. We had a man. on our 91 change several years ago and it cost $300 for one side.

RE: Ice cream stays soft. Wonder why?

Ice Cream is one of the hardest items to freeze solid in any fridge. A contant temperature of at least 0 to -5 is reqiured to freeze it rock hard. Most fridges only get to around 5 to 0. The best thing to do is limit how many times the freezer door is opened.

RE: Engine Cover (dog house) Removal

Our Workhorse on a 2004 has 3 screws. Two forward and one in the middle of the aft end. They are buried in the carpet pretty good.

RE: Class A in this campground is to big with toad...

Over confidence usually ends up with a call to the insurance company. There are those of us who have hit something and those of us who will sooner or later.

RE: A/C drainage. How to control it?

Only way to stop condensations is to not run the A/C. The higher the temperature and humidity the more condensation will be produced. If you want to direct the water to a certain place a bead of caulk is the best idea.

RE: Propane safety

That's why they installed propane detectors in RVs. Most will shut off the gas between the tank and the inside if fumes are present besides setting off an alarm.

RE: Vin and Serial number versus title

Very common in the RV industry. Ours was built 2003 but not titled until 2004. This question comes up a lot and it all depends on when the manufacture delivered the RV and the dealership applied for title.

RE: Oven issues

Easies way to light a standing pilot over is to turn the thermostat up above 200. This allows a little more gas to flow to the pilot burner. Once lite turn back to pilot or temperature you plan on using. If it won't light remove and clean the pilot burner since you may have a spider that made a home.

RE: Flexible Heater Ducting

If you can get access then the rigid duct would be better. Just like on the home dryer the air flow and heat is more productive with the rigid Aluminum pipe that comes in Elbows and 3' sections that are taped together with Aluminum tape and not duct tape. Stay away from the semi rigid that comes in usually 10' sections because it's to thin and crushes to easy.
The flexable pipe they run is good if it's stretched out but most of the time it's just balled up with way to may turns.

RE: Workhorse vs Ford

I own Ford built cars but I prefer the Workhorse 8.1 and Allison transmission. For one thing mileage is better than Ford along with better towing. I have a 2004 Bounder and yes it did have the brake recall but you can not beat the engine and transmission match up. I find the 8.1 to be easy to access and the air intake did not need to be modified to keep rain water from soaking the filter when driving in heavy rain.

RE: Dearborn MI: Ford Museum and Greenfield Village

There are three camp ground in Monroe, MI right off I-75 with full hook ups and there's the Wayne fair grounds E & W on I-94 just down the street from Camping World. The fair grounds would be the shortest drive.

RE: how to safely deenergize capacitor

Just take a screw drive between the posts and touch them with the screw drive at the same time. This will short out any power in the Capacitor.

RE: Water Heater Clean Out - White Powder

It's the same build up you'll find if you drain and flush your home water heater. It's in almost all water heaters and is normal from the chemical reaction of the water being heated.

RE: Is it safe to use normal garden hose for water??

Most garden hose are not safe for use in drinking water, I have one green and white hose that when I got it was labeled safe for drinking water. That's why the safe hoses are white so you know what is ok to use.
