    Generator has no spark

    Sounds like the oil level switch is malfunctioning but I think only on F and older.

    F550 Flat Bed Size

    I had a Ram 4500 and had zero problems towing our fifth wheel all over the country. I had plenty of room behind the bumper but not as much as with a pickup. The biggest problem I had was getting insurance on the 4500. If it has CC (cab chassis) on the title instead of PU (pickup) it will be...

    Chain saw?

    It's a 60 volt Greenworks from Lowes. With 2 batteries I can get around 80 cuts of 6' to 8" live oak and the live ok is very hard. If I'm cutting BBQ wood I use vegetable oil in place of bar oil to alleviate any off taste from the wood. I'm very picky about my smoking wood.

    Chain saw?

The sawzall is very versatile. The 60 volt chain saw cuts as good as any gas saw of the same size. I...

    Fifth wheel tires

    If you do jump up to a G rated tire from a E rated tire make sure your rims are designed for the additional air pressure. Some 16" rims are only designed to handle 85 psi and the G rated will take 110 psi. It should be stamped on the inside of the rim.

    Carefree Travel'r Awning Motor Equivalent - Series II

    I ordered two motors off of amazon for about 30.00 each two years ago and replaced both of my awning motors. Have never had a problem with the new motors. I use the awnings every day. Here is a link to the same ones I purchased on Amazon. You can probably order one from an auto parts store...

    Help, Strange problem?

    Sounds like your city water check valve is stuck. Might be time to replace it. It is built into the connection. You will have to remove a few screws where the city connection mounts to your RV and remove it and order the correct replacement.

    Underbelly fabric tape

    One other thing. Using this tape for the belly fabric or eternabond on the roof requires prep and cleaning. The better you prep the better the results.

    Fantastic Fan Problem in Glendale 5th Wheel

    There is a small push type switch under the lid that is probably stuck. With the lid open, you can access it from the roof. Cheap and easy fix. Sometimes you can pull it out and just lube it. Fantastic sent me a new one for free. The switch turns the fan off when the lid closes. Hope this makes...

    Broken Slide Motor

    There was a person on another forum that I'm on that had made a repair plate out of some 1/2" aluminum to fix his Adacel  motor. Here is an image of it.
