    in need of new tires

    On another forum the Hankook tires have had numerous people using them for several years and love them. They are are aggressively priced. I will be replacing mine with them (same size as yours). Hankook is South Korean.

    To Tow or Not To Tow?

    We have both, a toad (2002 Jeep Wrangler) and a Kymco 50cc scooter. Depending on where we go and for how long depends on which we take. I got the tow bar and baseplate off Craigslist and Ebay. The scooter rack I got from Harbor Freight on sale for about $125. I am getting a little bigger...

    Vacuum issue

    I need a little help from the mechanically inclined. I have a 1987 P30 chassis with a vacuum issue. I have started to replace some of the hoses noticing they are rotting at the ends. I have also traced the hoses back to the vacuum canister on the front of the firewall. It is round like a small...

    Brakes locked

    The brake lever is called an Orscheln (http://www.http://orschelnproducts.com/) . The knob on the end adjusts the brakes to compensate for wear. I only need to adjust it properly to take the brakes off. Duh. Clockwise tightens, counter clockwise loosens. Nice people. Thanks for the info...

    Brakes locked

    Due to another issue my master cylinder small cylinder went dry and I think I have air in the back  lines. I was working on the MH this weekend and went to pull it back up the driveway and it felt like the emergency brake was on. It wasn't. At that same time I was adjusting the knob on the...

    P30 Gas Tank

    I have been informed the tank on my 1987 Dolphin (1986 Chevy P30 chassis) is leaking. Anybody have any ideas as to where I can get one? Do the salvage yards save those also?

    Who's keeping an older MH on the road??

    This is our first, a 1987 National RV Dolphin 27'. This is our 3rd year of light-moderate use. Going to the shop for a brake issue this week but really hasn't been bad on the wallet. My mechanic says it needs manifold work before inspection this summer. It isn't pretty but we own it and no...

    Grand Cherokee as a toad

    I believe you have to get a Jeep that is "Trail Rated" to tow it 4 down. I think that is (memory is somewhat bad) 2004 or so and newer.

    Dometic SL-135 A/C problem

    I thought I would update this. I talked to Dometic and ES-refrigerants  (an alternate coolant manufacturer). My unit had a access port already in. I bought  ES-refrigerants R22 replacement coolant and installed a little (maybe 4oz). The output of the A/C unit went from 78 to 51 in a minute...
