RE: 2017 Ram 68RFE Question
When my 48R dies can it be replaced with the 68R?
From what I've read, while you can't swap to the 68R, you can bring your 48 up to 68 standards with some heavy duty aftermarket parts

Looks like a nice combo. If you're having fun, that's all that matters.

RE: 2017 Ram 68RFE Question
I've got the same trans in my 2019 2500 and from what I've read over the years, it seems to hold up fine. Not many problems with that Trans or any other offerings from the Big 3. Live others said, the key is maintenance.

RE: The Camco" Rhino"
IMO the best value out there is the Camco Revolution 20" Hose Kit. Breaks down to two 10" sections if you want. Heavy Duty hose with nice Heavy Duty swivel ends. I've had this one a couple years and wouldn't buy anything else.
$18.95 at WalMart:

RE: Inverter Generators
I should come up with a snappy response to all of that negativity and self back patting.
....or come up with an explanation as to why the OP constantly has to clean his carb when nobody else is having the same problem.

RE: Step carpet
Nice work. I did the same thing a few years ago. The grommet kit is the key.

RE: Best wax for lazy people?
Lots of good waxes out there as others have posted. NuFinish is tried and true and very economical. Lasts a long time too.

RE: Seen in the campground: mega generator rear-rack
I'd be curious about the weight distribution by axle. Going down the road, is that extra axle loaded or just floating?
It's an interesting idea but I think a much simpler solution would be to build it on a swivel wheel trailer.
Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes these contraptions are designed by mechanical engineers that actually know what they're doing and camp as a hobby. That setup looks very sophisticated in design just from the simple photo.

RE: “I was shocked with just how white it was there,” she said.
We're from So Cal which is very ethically diverse. Over the years I've noticed there's not a lot black RV'ers, campers, etc. I think it's more of a cultural thing, like blacks aren't big on NASCAR etc.

RE: Inverter Generators
I had the Honda EU200i and was happy with the performance. I didn’t like having to clean the carb so many times though. It ran my smaller RV a/c just fine on eco mode. The a/c is stock with no types of easy start mods.
Its time to buy a new one.
I see a number of Yamaha units. The part numbers seem to be advancing rapidly which puts me on alert..
EF2000i
EF2000is
EF2000isV2
Then i read on some air conditioner easy start page to stick with hondas as they use a 120cc displacement versus like 80cc for the other brand 2000 watt units.
They said all generators that have a 2000 written on them are not the same.
The yamaha has the pet **** which might make it so i dont need to do the carb cleaning all the time.
Then i hear all the talk talk about harbor freight predators, but i guess you have to get the unlimited warranty?
What do you guys think?
I've never had the need to clean the carb on my 14 year old Honda EU2000 once. I do keep Seafoam in the gas so maybe that's why.
I've never heard of anyone on this forum having to clean their Honda carb frequently.

RE: inside light decreasing cover for ceiling vent
The first thing I do after buying an RV is buy the MaxxAir covers to put over my vents. They protect the cheapo covers on the vent from the rays of the sun and protect your RV from being trashed when those covers fail and allow the rain to come right through. One of the best investments (insurance) you can make.
This is a very good idea. It allows you to leave the vent open when it's raining, etc. Another benefit is it will will save the interior of your rig in storage from rain damage if it develops an unknown cracked vent cover (very common). It adds another layer of protection and one of the first mods most RVers do.
