    How to make a HWH slideout travel adjustment

    Glad to help Phil! That's my reward for posting the fixes on stuff. It may help someone down the road having the same kind of issue.

    Camping World / Forest River Review (Spoiler Alert- Its bad)

    I disagree with this logic. There is a core principal in law enforcement that says failing to disclose a known fact is in itself, a lie. So when the OP went to pick up the RV and the salesman stated that he could not tow it with his current tow vehicle, that is proof that the salesman and thus...

    Would you buy an EV?

    I have considered one. But in the west the lack of chargers for great distances is a big negative for me. I would consider a hybrid for our next car, but Diane wants something like a SUV or possibly even a truck like the Ford Maverick. It's still at least 6 months off, so we will see what...

    Cummins includes 600,000 RAM pickups in their emission recall

    My 2023 2500 Ram has the 6.4 gasser as well. Better payload numbers with the gasser, less maintenance, easier to get repaired if necessary. I owned a long line of Cummins diesels, and most were great. The lower price point was an incentive as well. Had her for about 8 months now, no complaints.

    Cummins includes 600,000 RAM pickups in their emission recall

    Cummins has already agreed to a 2 billion dollar federal settlement to settle allegations of installing "defeat devices" on their diesel engines to avoid emissions testing. Now Cummins is including 600,000 RAM trucks in the recall that will "repair" engine control software. Stand by, this will...

    ABS light on Freightliner chassis

    I hope your repair goes better than mine did. When my front wheel ABS sensor failed, Freightliner charged over $1000 for the repair. They said they had to run the new cable from the front tire to the motor area 40' away. That must have been some cable.....

    New Theater Seating Unit, w/pics

    Here are the seat dimensions that I purchased. The web site has a variety of seats, some vary with style. I did see some that were extra wide, or long. Here is a graphic of the ones I bought.

    Home Solar

    Not really. I would expect it would be whatever the labor rate would be, and if there were any charges for ending the contract early it would depend on what was written in it when it was drawn up. I looked at solar here in AZ as well, but after getting the quotes and doing the math, the break...

    Home Solar

    It's kind of like some folks buying a new RV. They only want to put the minimum down to make the purchase, but somewhere down the road if they decide to sell they are up side down on the loan. Same can happen with a solar lease. A buyer may not want to put out the extra money for something...

    New Theater Seating Unit, w/pics

    BTW, there is a variety of different attachments you can use instead of the black tables. The tables come in glass, aluminum, and wood grain, and other attachments are cell phone holders, wine glass holders, and even a pop corn bowl among others.

    New Theater Seating Unit, w/pics

    New captains chairs is a tall order, but there may be a way around a new bolt pattern. Have a metal plate made up that will bolt to the floor with the existing bolts, then add new bolts (or holes for bolts) to the new plate in the desired locations. It would only raise the seats about an inch...

    New Theater Seating Unit, w/pics

    Our "couples trailer" works out well for us in most ways, but the seating area is critical as it is the ONLY place to sit in the rig, other than the bed. So what you sit on must be comfortable, durable, and sturdy. The theater seating that the unit came with didn't hit any of those marks. In...

    Home Solar

    The biggest downside to not owning a solar system is if you decide to sell the property than the new buyer has to agree to assume the contract before they can take possession of the property. I had to do that in Ca when I sold a house there. Even though I paid down most of the lease and there...

    2023 Ford 7.3l fuel economy report not towing

    Good numbers for a big vehicle like that. Very similar to what I am getting with a Ram of the same general description. I'm happy with that too.
