    Checkin' in before lowering my tire air pressure

      There should be a tag on the vehicle somewhere listing proper tire sizes and inflation. My class A has it on the dashboard and you view it looking through the windshield from the outside looking in. Cant imagine vehicles these days not having a inflation tag on it.

    Window Tinting

      I did all the windows on my 1986 class A with tint purchased at the local auto parts store. Aside from the windshield and front side windows anything goes. It definitely helps keep the coach cool inside and seeing out is really not a problem. I used the darkest tint on the bedroom windows, a...

    Converting exterior lights to LED

       I did all the exterior lights on my 86 mh to led's. I used Truck-lites which are available anywhere they sell truck parts. They are all sealed lights so water is not an issue but you have to use install their pigtail to plug into the back of the lights. No brainer. The only issue you might...

    Trying to help my parents who are "stuck" in Florida...

      Being a new RV last year, i dont think rotted out is the right wording. I live in western NY and the salt they use on the roads will rot out a car but not for quite a few years. So I would take a closer look at that   I also wonder what the dealer is doing to the rear end. It really not rocket...

    lug nuts

      You'll probably find lugs on the left side more prone to becoming loose rather then the right side. The action of the wheel rotation tend to loosen the left side and is the reason left handed threads were once used by Chrysler on the left side wheels. Anyone remember breaking one of them off...
