If it's the spring clip type brakes on Fords we use to back the wheel bearing nut 1/8 turn to put a tiny bit of play into the rotor. This was enough to push the pistons in enough to prevent brake dragging. If it's both front or all wheels your master cyl piston might be hanging up in the bore...

I had what sounds like the same issue with my 1978 28' Holiday Rambler with carb 460. It would start to sputter and die going up big hills on hot days. The issue was with the fuel tank in the back of the rig, going up hill, the fuel pump could not keep up with the carb if you were into the...

I just replaced the airbags in the front of mine, they were totally shot. It was a pretty big job because they were inside the coil springs. Check the recommended psi for the airbags and try putting more air in them on the axle that's bottoming out. The air bags effectively increase the spring...

Yeah I will stand corrected on the more modern V-10s. Also, many motor homes rarely see the mileage where the Triton V-8s started to have head gasket and timing chain issues (over 150K) . What kind of mileage are you V-10 class C drivers getting?

If New then layout and price will have to be factored about what you know about quality of construction. If used, your greatest concerns will be roof / exterior condition and layout as well as full check out of function and what you know about the quality of the builds and how many older ones...

Ok thanks for the info all. I'll check out that furnace page. The camera is a 2.5 GHz and it worked ok in the house but I'll do an update on it. 2.5 GHz is also a popular fr for WiFi devices so we shall see. I ran a wire in the old one but it was only a 26' and you could see the wire and had to...

Yes for sure but I really was fond of the all aluminum build. I'm building an all metal experimental aircraft so I have all the tools for the metalwork. I had to drill out and clean up the rivets to replace some roof vents on the old girl.  I'll have to try to figure out how to keep the...

Well I spent 2 years camping my first RV. A 1978 Holiday Rambler 26' Class C and just sold her last night. I was a bit sad to see her go down the road without me but all in all I'm pretty pleased. I bought the Rambler sitting in the woods and after putting a new rebuilt 4bbl Carb on it I had...

P.S. the manual troubleshooting chart says the check the CR1 Relay but I can't find it in the schematics or chassis layout diagrams..  I have the user and install / service manuals for it.

So, I picked up a 1996 Damon Ultrasport 31' Class C rig last week and I could get the Generac 3,100 W gas 2 cyl to crank but not start. I was able to fire it on starting fluid and started working the fuel problem. I bypassed the fuel pump and pulled suction on the fuel line and purged it until I...

Thanks Joe, yeah my mailing address is Perkiomenville but I'm actually in Boyertown School district. Geen Lane park is actually a little too close LOL. I hike bike and paddle the park pretty often as it's in biking distance from my house but I'll give it some thought. I lived in an apartment in...

Joe I'm in the Boyertown area but I'm a member of the Pottstown EAA chapter 1250 out of Limerick airport  . I was planning to go to the Oaks RV show (my first) but we had a family emergency with our goats and it got canceled :( . We were down there the next week to see the American Treasure...

Yeah I really just picked her up cheap to make a trip or two and thought I could turn it over for a profit with a bit of work but the enjoyment we are getting out of it has been unexpected but very exciting. Now I have a strong feeling that even though this is our first RV, it probably won't be...

Winter update!  I removed the frosted glass side back splash that was to the right of the range top and installed a nice redwood cutting board on piano hinge that can fold down 90 degrees and it pretty much doubles the counter working space when cooking and can double as a cup / snack holder for...

The water heater is toast. Looks like it was not winterized and froze and ruptured. I priced RV on demand propane heaters and they are only like $70 so I think that will be the way to go and I can remove easy if I ever want to. I'm not sure if I can hook it into all the hot water lines or if...
