    Paint or color code?

    I went through this about two months ago. I wanted to repaint the generator door on my coach. Went to NAPA and couldn't get a good match so I called Fleetwood with my vin#. The lady said the paint code was in the back closet so I look and it said the color but no paint code. I call Fleetwood...

    Fishing The Jetties South Padre Island

    Nice drum guys, I use to live in NC and my Dad and I would surf fishing several times during the fall on Ocracoke (his favorite fishing hole, lol). That was a long time ago and I haven't been back sadly. Would you guys know of a good campground to go to on the outer banks these days?

    Converting fluorescent fixtures to led lighting

    I "remodeled" two of my florescent fixtures with the strip LED's. My fixtures were knocking my thermostat off due to RFI. I think it was 17 feet of LED's at about $25 shipping and all. I had enough to do three fixtures. I did two rows of LED's in the bathroom fixture and 4 rows of LED's for the...

    Do Motorhomes have seatbelts?

    Hey cool....a question that I can answer, lol Usually I'm asking a question. When you're looking at a MH look under and or between cushions cause usually there are seat belts. They just don't get used and do get pushed out of sight. Some will have more than others, you just have to look around...

    My first long trip and my driving skills

    How close?...Too close  ;D it feels like I could touch the thing but seriously, I'm over, to the right, as far as I dare, about a foot off the rumble strip. I really got a shove from one that was going much faster than me, and I was running almost 65. Thats when I slowed down to 55-60...

    My first long trip and my driving skills

    My first long trip and my driving skills

    I checked the toe-in and best I can tell there is maybe a 1/16" toe-in. I must admit I'm not real confident about the method of measurement, especially measuring 1/16" difference with two pieces of schedule 40 pvc pipe. I also used one of those telescoping paint poles and got the the same...

    My first long trip and my driving skills

    Thanks to everyone, it sure helps to bring things to the discussion table. I'm feeling pretty good about the tire pressure, I try diligently to set tire pressure to chart recommendations and I have "played" with the pressure 10 or so lbs above and below the recommended pressure to no effect to...
