RE: Shark bites for plumbing
Would never use them again, flooded out my mh while winterrising, 2 gallons of antifreeze from one end to the bedroom, many different size's of plumbing in the RV industry, have a friend that had shark bite in a ceiling of his house and the whole ceiling came down, $25000 damage. Lots of fun trying to clean up the mess.

RE: Canada border crossing
Just talked to a lady friend in Whitehorse, and you have to sign your way into the Yukon, not allowed in if you are just visiting but you can go through if you are going to your home in Alaska, everthing like every where else is on a shut down, she has a driving school and it is non essential so no income for now. we had planned to go to her place in June but it is a no go now. Spend most summer's in the Yukon so pretty disappointed.

RE: Canada border crossing
I was told 24 hours from into to out of Canada. I have no idea how that amount of distance can be done in such a short period of time however as long as you don't delay who is going to check?
quote, I think it says in and out of Canada does it not??? It did not say anything about transiting through the Yukon or am I not reading Veebyes response right, Thank You.

RE: Newmar 2021 model info (a front end diesel?)
Nothing new, My 98 Newmar Mountain Aire is a front engine puller 215hp Cummins and also rides on air with hydro disc brakes, average fuel consumption has been 12.5mpg since day one and that with towing a VW Jetta. and the other thing is you can sit and talk in comfort all day long, very little engine noise.

RE: What can I use to get water out of a gas tank
Big Katuna has it right, welded up many tanks that still had gas in them. would just run the vehicle and put an exhaust hose in the tank.

RE: Solar panels and battery cut off
Battery must not be cut off from solar, its good bye controller if that is the way it is wired, check and be sure solar is wired to controller and direct to battery.

RE: Very Bad RV Wreck in Oregon
Very sad that they had stopped for the night at a Walmart and were made to leave because no parking allowed. That is why the driver was out there at night and sleepy. Had probably already been driving all day. Had no money for a tow, probably had no money for a campground "if" they could even find one.
And this, friends, is the epitome of "living beyond one's means". Who operates an RV without the means to deal with the inevitable unexpected? Decisions have consequences. What a BS statement just maybe that's all the poor bastard had to his name and you figure everybody should have million's to back him up in hard times, not every body is rich like you by the sound of your statement, and we wonder why people are leaving the RV site, give your head a shake or call me on it.

RE: RV Crushes Truck
You have to reverse a bit to take the pressure off the jaws and only then you won't have to fight to unlock it, the hitch was never locked properly in the first place if you look at the white pin when he hooked up the second time and the extra nylon plate was not needed, Trucked for 50 yrs and pulled the odd fw pin in that time and it was the same, you have to take the pressure off to unhook.Lucky that was all the damage, could have lossed it on the street.

RE: RV Crushes Truck
I like my Reese 17k hitch, when those jaw's are around the pin it ain't coming loose and dropping and have done numerous pulls to check it. How many out there have a Reese.

RE: Best Fuel Preservative for Pure Gas ???
Seafoam for me, and I always buy 91 octane ethanol free gas for my small engines. X2 for me, Shell 91 and 1 oz seafoam per gallon, no more small engine problem's.

RE: Blue Ox Tow Bar
Its pretty bad when they supply safty cable's to hold the hitch to the frame and 3 lousy bolts to hold the hitch on, just as bad when I put the hitch on my 03 jetta and just about lost it in Wisconson, same deal, bolts to small, had to rebild the whole hitch when we got home, using 3/8 angle and 1/2" bolts, no problem's for the next 8 yrs untill we sold the car. Car dolly after that.

RE: Bent Kingpin?
Just a quick FYI, you're looking a the spindle, not a kingpin which your trailer doesn't have.
Best of luck.
ScottIn 50 yrs of trucking pulling trailer's it was alway's known as a king pin, never ever heard it called a Spindle, you must be thinking of something totally different of what is being described. Just my thought's.

RE: Battery (really solar panel) Disconnect Question
Had a C40 controller destroyed when one of my 14 yr old batteries went south, so yes it is advisable to disconnect the panels fist, thats the way I was tought when I worked in the solar for 3 yrs. in Arizona and was working for 1 of the best @ Imperial Dam. and all I had was a 80 watt panel charging while the rig was in storage at the time. Just my thought's.
