camco RV leveling blocks. I've used them for 40+ years.

And then there are the 'RV' things. Appliance parts, furniture parts, charging system, electrical isolation relays, vent covers, thermostats & sensors, air conditioner parts. The list goes on and on.

I don't think I have much of it but I know how to make it in my studio. :p It's something that gets way overused on those shows.

Somewhere there is a master list of all the vehicles that can be towed. It includes which model, engine, transmission, options it must have as well as an overview of the setup required. I've been looking but still haven't found it. Good point about finding a tow ready car. Our current towed...

Good bottle Jack. Collapsible lug wrench with sockets that fit both the truck and the RV. That's just for tires! I've changed plenty of them but not one since we got a rig with 22.5" tires.

It's a mistake to assume that a car or truck with a manual transmission is towable. Some have transmissions that overheat (a lot) when towed. In my opinion these are the best sources. What Cars Can Be Flat-Towed? | Edmunds https://www.effortlessrving.com/best-vehicles-to-tow-behind-an-rv/...

Reasonably sure. I was able to get a number off one of them and it cross referenced with the ones I bought. The real problem was the clips. If the clips were good they would have taken only a few minutes to install.

That's exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. Thank you!

Did that too. All aged out. Wait! There is one cabinet I hardly ever use because it's hard to get to. I don't remember checking it! Project for tomorrow!

I did. That's one of the things that led me to the ones I bought. Unfortunately the brand name is worn off and illegible. The rig is 18 years old.

Does anybody with experience with Fleetwood products of my 'era', 2006, have a reliable source of gas struts to work and install the way they should? One of my exterior cabinets would no longer remain open and I got tired for holding it up with my head while I fished around in my tool box. I...

It could be a piece of crushed or improperly bent Pex too.

I've been using the same plastic one for about 10 years without a problem. I've even loaned it out a few times.

The new Ford 7.3 'Godzilla' V8 is an awesome engine for mid sized coaches. One of my friends has one in a large-ish class C and he has no problem going up hills. It doesn't rev as high as the V10s either.

I've heard of them spraying enough water in the refrigerator side vents to damage the electronics. It was suggested that you turn the refer completely off and cover the sensitive parts or the side vent(s) (I have two) with foil, tape or Saran Wrap.
