    Consider hauling it on a flat bed truck or on a trailer.

    Removing Damon Daybreak Pioneer DEH 1700 stereo

    I put close to 4 grand into my sound system but I used to design and install sound systems in night clubs for decades. That is a good price for the install.

    Remove Jackknife Sofa

    Something I recently saw is home theater seating that is designed to have their own risers used beneath them to create raised rows of seating. Only using the top without the tall riser might work for you. It has to be a line that offers the different heights of the bases.

    Removing Damon Daybreak Pioneer DEH 1700 stereo

    The keys will be two flat pieces of metal about 1/4" wide with a small 90 degree bend on one end and about 4" long. The other end is slightly rounded with a small bump on the side. Insert one at the center of each side with the bends facing outwards. These fit tightly between the edge of the...

    Removing Damon Daybreak Pioneer DEH 1700 stereo

    If you can reach your hand up behind the unit, put both keys in until they make a small click and then push on the center rear of the unit.

    1986 Minnie Winnie stalled now won't start

    Dropping a fuel tank on a regular vehicle is a big pain. I can only imagine that it is a bigger pain doing it on an RV. The space under there to work might be more spacious but it won't be easy. The sending unit will be tall as it reaches to the bottom of the tank so you have to have clearance...

    Fulltimers: What Did You Take From Your Sticks & Bricks?

    If you use your tools often you have to thin them down. Get rid of the extras. If you have two circular saws, one big and one small, keep the small, dump the big. Both do the same job but one weighs more. The weight of tools adds up quickly, even with small hand tools. It takes a lot of purging...

    Purchased Used Trailer- Its Complicated

    The repairs will usually cost more than you estimate and they will take longer than you planned. You already bit off a big chunk of bad without having first thoroughly inspected the TT before buying it. Now you are thinking about taking another big bite out of the same mess. Research what you...

    Bugs! Need help please nothing works!

    Those temps will work in a clothes dryer but not for a room. Ambient temp in the room needs to be 130F and it has to soak so that underneath every cushion and between everything can rise to temp. She just gave me the whole lecture when I asked about the temp those machines do...

    Bugs! Need help please nothing works!

    Google: "Clove powder for pest control" It won't harm you or your pets. It also smells good. DE, Diatomaceous Earth can be dangerous if you breathe it in as it is known to cause cancer. Pest control companies are useless because if they actually do a good job they lose you as a customer so...

    Portable Solar for occasional use

    The Renogy 100 watt mono panel is 47" x 21.3" x 1.4" and weighs 16.5 lbs. They have 0.13" tempered glass covering them. When you pick your starter system pay attention to the maximum amperage/wattage that the solar controller can handle to make sure that you will be able to add on the number of...

    He is about solar, batteries and inverters. He has nothing on converters. He is an expert.

    Eliminating converter

    I have invested between $8,000-$9,000 into my electrical system. I know every single part in this system and how it is wired. I spent a year learning from Handy Bob's blog and designing this system before I purchased anything. This is not a typical system and it is far from original equipment...
