Jim I took a look at the Rapid Roof product. I really will probably go ahead and replace the A/C unit during this roof job. The MH is a 1991 Toyota Itasca with only 28K miles. We are trying to do any preventive maitainence before we have a problem. The previous owner poured the Kool Seal to the...

Jim, I am from the Lake Cumberland area in KY. My best friend builds houseboats and has been doing the EPDM for about 7 years. These lake yachts demand quality installation. He will do the installation of the roof and fixtures, all I will be out is materials and some sweat. I will take a look...

Thanks, Ron, Jim and Ned. Do you find yourselves watching more broadcast or satelite? Broadcast would be much better for local information, I understand that but didn't really want to put old tech back on after the roof job if it wasn't needed or practical. I am looking at a non mobile dish...

I will keep that in mind. Too bad someone hasn't came up with a piggyback design. That rusty metal grinding noise is those wheels in my head turning. Thanks.

The Velcro idea works. I used some thin Luan board and devised several dividers that can be moved according to the gear needed for each trip. Especially in the pantry. I used Velcro to hold the shelf divders in place at whatever spacing that was needed. They lay flat when all the space is used.

Check the rangehood fan baffle over the cooktop. If it is stuck open or not there you lose heat and cool air through them.

Ned, thanks. I have upgraded TV already or at least Santa Claus did. I think it was here where someone said 15 years is about the lifespan of a roof. We are getting our little MH ready for summer and a new roof was the only thing I thought we might start having trouble out of. So while the...

Buying used? I would not hesitate flying out to Yuma/Phoenix AZ. with a pocketful of money. This time of year Great deals can be had. I do not mean 40-50 two or three year old MHs but litterally hundreds. I saved my dad about 10K on identical models from what he was asked in the Kentuckiana...

Getting ready to have a new rubber roof installed. With the end of broadcast TV stations this year has anyone converted to dish. Will the new folding dish units replace the old Wingard antenna without major structural change. Have the dish units been designed to do so? Any other problems a...

Friends I must say I am overwhelmed with the service of 3Ts suspension specialist of Lake Havasu AZ. I emailed this company about my busted bag (no jokes please) and even on a old MH like mine they offered the parts I needed. Some design changes since original manufacture so, they threw the...

Just a note for future reference. The air suspension was supplied by 3T RV Supply, Lake Havasu City AZ. Now if replacement bags are available and sold seperately from the kits?

First let me say the HS does good work. Have you considered a 5th wheel trailer rig? Could save you a fortune on insurance. The truck which I assume the HS may already own could be set up for this purpose and not sitting idle when mobile adoption is not in use. Some insurance carriers cover...

Zack the reason I built the box for my portable was because they hold too much heat in a confined area. Overheating will damage not only the engine but the head also. With a nice vent grill and a high volume fan or two for ventilation you might be able to do so? Opening the compartment door...

The poem reminds me of some of the RV stories I have heard. LOL "Now a promise made is a debt unpaid, and the trail has its own stern code. In the days to come, though my lips were dumb, in my heart how I cursed that load. In the long, long night, by the lone firelight, while the huskies, round...

Thanks again Tom. The photos are now hyperlinked. Whatever in heck that means? LOL
